The Perch - Brentwood

The egg sandwich on a Portuguese muffin (+ bacon) is hands down my favorite breakfast item in Nashville. I’ve been coming to The Perch for many, many years and I can’t seem to ever get anything else. I love this place. I love their food, their coffee, the reliability, and the ambiance of the location. Unfortunately I frequently get my orders to-go or delivered, but when I do get the chance to dine-in it’s a relaxing and delicious experience. I recommend The Perch to anyone visiting from out of town or anyone looking for a yummy breakfast. Thank you for being my sustenance at least once a week!

Stopped for breakfast during a road trip. The menu isn’t extensive but has good options as an alternative to a chain restaurant. The coffee is great and the waffle was delicious. Our food was out quickly, which was important for us to not take a long break during our drive. There is plenty of seating and parking.

AMAZING! Ordered the lemon and sugar crepe with strawberries with a honey lavender latte. Service and food were top-notch. We got there right as they opened. Our food was out in less than 7 minutes. Thought about the Nordic crepe, but they were out of ingredients. Before we left, they received their shipments and gave us the ingredients to go for a snack!!

This is my go to spot each AM. Great food and coffee. The chefs are amazing. You can't go wrong with any of the food items. It is not the fastest place but worth the wait! Can get very busy on the weekends but it is for good reason!

One of the girls was incredibly and openly rude to my husband and I. The crepe was good though. A welcoming kind environment always goes further for me, though.

Very small place and seating. You have to stand and order and everyone walks around you to get their coffee. We got one coffee, one waffle and one omelette and it cost 30.00. Then before we left an employee told my husband to take our plates and bring them to the back. Really! They don’t do that either. I have never been so unimpressed. We wound never go there again.

Cute little coffee shop with excellent staff and yummy crepes. It is a great spot to write in my gratitude journal. Love it in here!

One of the best cafes I’ve been to in a long time. The banana-walnut waffle was just the right amount of sweet, fluffy crunch. The Honey Lavender latte hit the spot just perfectly. The people here are also very nice, and friendly. Couple that with a great ambiance in a rustic setting: I’m transported to serenity.

One of those hidden gems in Nashville/Brentwood that never disappoints. I go here a few times a year and wonder why I don't come back more often. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The crepes are always amazing! The coffee is consistently very good. The vibe is great; really love the "old house" style. I ordered the I Love Bacon crepe with the Candy Bar latte and I'd definitely order them both again! I'd say my favorite crepes so far have been the Mexican style and the Nutella banana. They do have more than crepes; they offer really good breakfast burritos that I'd definitely recommend as well. If you're ever in the area, I'd say it's well worth the stop.

I have been to The Perch enough to know what I like and do not like. I do not like the prices as I can't make sense of spending $12-15 on a lunch meat crepe. However, sometimes that is what I'm in the mood for and I'll do it. This is not one of my proudest moments, but it IS good. You can't go wrong with their dessert crepes. They make more sense to me than their savory crepes when it comes to the value you get for your money. With the savory crepes, I feel you're limited in what you can put inside and the salad that comes with the crepe is filler for what you don't get inside the crepe. Let me tell you one thing that remains steadfast - their gouda grits. Oh my goodness, how I love their grits. You can't really mess this up, and it is hearty. I'm a grits kind of girl plus it is delicious anytime of year. Some might feel this is better in the cooler months, but I beg to differ. They offer coffees, teas, and bottled beverages. I usually stick to water since I am basic. I'm not a coffee drinker unless it is in an expresso martini. They do not serve any alcoholic beverages here. I don't like sitting inside because I feel like it's a little crowded, so I am definitely one who enjoys the patio. Good luck and securing a spot because it is first come, first serve on all seating, both for indoor and outdoor. It is pretty ample, so usually one doesn't have to wait long to secure a seat. Service isn't really a thing. They bring your food to you, but otherwise, it is strictly counter service. They give you a number and they'll bring the food to you at your table once it is ready. Parking is in a shopping plaza shared with other businesses. You won't have an issue with it. It's a pretty straightforward process on this account. If I had to describe most of my experiences here, I suggest patience. It is a small space of where they're preparing your meals and beverages. It is also super small where the line forms often blocking the door to enter and exit. If you can get past that, you'll be fine.

Got takeout out one morning. Great breakfast crepes. Location and parking is fine. Inside is cute and quaint. Didn't get to stay long as I was doing takeout but the outside seating would probably be my choice. Service was polite and quick.

I love this place as well! Their hot lavender latte is out of this world! It's just the way I like it with almond milk. Their breakfast food is sooo delicious! The staff is awesome too! Their food smells so amazing when you go in there to buy coffee. It's like a little hidden gem.

Great find Stopped to have a cup of tea and order an omelette. Delicious and the side greens were great too. Tea was perfect I would totally recommend this spot

A cute little restaurant that I stopped in for a crêpe and coffee. I ordered the perch crêpe which has eggs, bacon, and cheddar cheese. It took 11 minutes for breakfast to be served. I don't know about you, but the server should've asked if there was anything I wanted to put on the crêpe, like Cholula hot sauce or? I ultimately located the packets of Cholula and that finished off a decent egg, bacon and cheddar cheese crêpe. Drip coffee was good. The prices are fair and there's lots of parking. Enjoy.

The Perch has been a staple for me for years, failed to review until now. About a decade ago I worked nearby and would come frequently - always enjoyed the vibes indoor and outdoors. My go-to crepe is the Florentine and my favorite espresso drink is the Eiffel Tower (vanilla + hazelnut) and the Campfire in the fall (white chocolate+cinnamon), though all their creations are all good - quality espresso roast and Monin syrups! I have also tried several savory and a few sweet crepes and never disappointed. Staff is friendly. It's a smaller establishment so it can take a while if they are busy. Plenty of parking spots in their shared plaza lot.

Coffee was excellent. The meal was ok, the bacon was sub par. We both got omelettes. Great spot to hang out & chat for the morning too.

Fun spot to get crepes!! Limited seating inside, but plenty of outside seating when it's nice. What I had: Ham and Cheese Crepe with Mustard: 8/10 - If you love mustard, you can't go wrong this one! The spinach was a perfect add when it comes to texture, and I would get it again! S'more's Crepe: 7/10 - Overall, this was pleasant, and I really did like the chocolate filling inside. However, crepe wasn't super filled, and I felt that the graham cracker crumbs on the inside dried the whole thing out a bit. It also tasted very much of powdered sugar, which wasn't the most exciting thing. This was a limited edition crepe, and didn't live up to my aspirations, but still good! My friend also got their cinnamon roll latte and said it was good, and of course, very cinnamoney!

Visited twice recently during overnight stays in Brentwood. Coffee is delicious and so much better than burnt SBX. Actually, no comparison. On the most recent visit, I had the crepe with butter, sugar, cinnamon, and honey. I shared it with my husband, but I didn't want to. Already looking forward to the next visit. The only complaint is that we didn't get our cappuccino's until after we had finished the crepe. Would've been nice to serve everything at the same time.

Solid and unique breakfast/lunch shop (and an institution in Brentwood) serving up crepes, Portuguese muffin breakfast sandwiches, decent coffee, amongst other (primarily breakfast-y) items. Gets busy and crowded after 8:30 am on weekends and keep in mind, orders for a crepe, omelette, or waffle can take 10-15 minutes to make, so while they do takeout, you should plan your time accordingly. Having eaten crepes in Paris, I wouldn't compare the quality here to what's available there, but I certainly thought the consistency was decent for when I really have a craving for a crepe. The sweet crepes, omelette, and Belgian waffle (which comes decadent with toppings and powdered sugar) are the stars of the menu. Nice outdoor seating that is dog friendly and private parking lot makes this a solid breakfast/brunch find.

I thought the crepes were pretty good! And reasonable priced. The building is tiny with little seating so be prepared for that! It really wasn't too long of a wait on a Sunday morning.

I went to Brentwood for a work trip, and our hotel was about .3 miles from this spot. Their staff was really friendly, and the drinks were good. I def recommend adding an espresso shot to the large size if you prefer a darker latte, LOL. I tried the Eiffel Tower and one other latte, both great. No food this trip from this spot. I'm posting a photo also of the cool comics on the front of the espresso machine. One note: they don't open until 7:30 during the week, so if you need it earlier, gotta go elsewhere!

This place was amazing! Fist off we got honey lavender lattes in both iced and hot and they were both 100/10, one of the best lattes I have had! Then we ordered the Nordic crepe but they were out of the ingredients, so we ended up getting the lemon sugar crepes with strawberries and a bowl of Gouda grits. The grits were so cheesy and good and the bowl was HUGE! The crepes were the perfect consistency and adding the strawberries just brought it to the next level. The service was amazing! Because we had wanted the Nordic crepe and they ended up being out of the ingredients, they made us an extra crepe and brought it to our table free of charge to make sure we got to try a savory one! 100/10 this is definitely a place to try!

The interior is simplistic, rustic, but the food is artistic, well made , delicious, and with large portions. Enjoy the crepes, the burritos, waffles or just an omelette.

Awesome little diamond in the ruff of restaurants near to where we were staying. Breakfast of crepes were great! Value was good. We sat outside because indoor seating was full at 11am. Weather was perfect, cool and overcast. Food was delicious! We're out of towners. Would/will definitely revisit if back in Brentwood.

Small establishment great for a quick breakfast or coffee. We ordered 2 omelettes and service was fast.

Good food...extremely rude employees in Brentwood. Will not be returning. One employee in particular I witnessed yealling at a table that they were in the way (while waiting for a table to open whith toddler in hand) and then proceeded to be angry that they ddin't hvae anywhere to move. The lady she yelled at got up to get something and this same employee was walking past and intentionally gave the VERY pregnant lady a little hit with her shoulder as she walked by. I couldn't believe what I witnessed. Apalling.

Such a cute cafe and the food Is impeccable! You MUST try the Portuguese muffin! We added one as a side to give it a try, and the next time we are traveling through we will definitely get a breakfast sandwich. Everything was incredible!

A great place to enjoy a speciality coffee and great breakfast food. The speciality latte options are always great, and the breakfast burrito is one of the best breakfast burritos I've had. I also highly recommend the cheesy grits, they're amazing too.

Love living so close to the perch and will note that their breakfast sandwiches are some of the best around! The guy at the griddle works incredibly hard. I find it challenging to stop in there quickly though because often times the coffee dispensers are out, so we have to wait about 15-20 minutes for them to be refilled. We've even tried calling ahead with an order and the drink is only made once you get there. It would be great if they found a workaround for this or a system as I'd love to continue to support this establishment but it's happened every-time I've gone.

My favorite favorite coffee ever!!! The service is awesome and quick and I love the vibe of the whole place. Taken family and friends here many times for them to try it themselves. Love this place! Great food as well

Even now, as I remember the peanut butter and Nutella crepe and latte we shared here, I'm salivating all over again! SO GOOD! So good! Let me say it again, so good! Laid back atmosphere, music in the alternative vein, pretty attentive staff.

Food is ok, but the service is bad! The people who work there make you feel you didn't pay for your food. They require you to put your dirty dishes back to a specific location. What does my tips paid for? This is a ridiculous place. When I was leaving, I tried to get a cap for my coffee as I dropped the old one. I went to the counter and the guy there made an eye contact but turned his head away. So I said " excuse me" trying to get his attention. Suddenly the crepe guy gave a judgmental look while shaking his head, "You should be more patient." He said. I don't feel like I the one who is not patient given how eagerly they'd like to judge others and teach their customers what to do.

What a great find as I traveled to Brentwood TN (in the burbs of NASH). Great vibe wirh quiet relaxing music, locals having coffee dates and meetings. The menu was extensive with the coffee and tea selections. I opted for the decaf Eiffel Tower lotta with hints of vanilla and hazelnuts! Wow! What deliciousness! The made all the food items fresh made to order. From crepes to waffles to muffin sandwiches, the aroma of the cofeee and fresh food fills the air temping your taste buds! My muffin sandwich was amazing! Definitely worth stopping in the local roasting company!

This little breakfast/brunch spot is a hidden gem. The coffee is amazing! I ordered the breakfast sandwich on Portuguese bread with egg cheddar and spinach. It came out hot and delicious. I forgotten how much I love Portuguese bread. The restaurant itself is super cute and has coffeehouse vibes. The guy at the cash register was super chill and very nice. I can't wait to come back here and try their crepes with my kids.

Good food but they've definitely out grown this location. Desperately need more space and staff... If you can handle waiting an hour+ for food, it's not a bad option.

Ate here today, Sunday 5/4. I live out of state. Ordered a coffee and a crepe. While ordering the girl who was ringing me out gave me such a dirty look/attitude when I asked her a question. She had dirty brown hair, don't know the name. Looked tired and annoyed. Anyway I waited at least 15 mins just to get the coffee then the crepe followed shortly after. The crepe was delicious but nothing else about this place stands out to me. You also have to clear your own plate which is weird to me, but hey im from the north. Maybe its a southern thing.

We stopped by here after a nice hike. It is a cute place for breakfast. It's small on the inside. We placed our order and found a table outside. We were told the wait would be 30 mins. And the wait is no joke. Our food took over 30 mins and we only ordered breakfast sandwich and a Nutella crepe. The coffee did come out first in a reasonable amount of time. We were starving by the time the food came out. The food was fine. The Portuguese style English muffin was unique and better than regular English muffin. The crepe was decent. The portion was small and we were all still hungry afterwards. Along with the long wait time, I don't recommend coming here unless you order ahead (which seems to be the way most people are doing).

Such great waffle and bacon. Drip coffee also good. Friendly and cute place. Service was quick and food hot and perfect

Good crepes and cappuccino! The Portuguese muffin is what an English muffin aspires to be... be advised it's very European styled cafe not a full service restaurant, which is quite authentic and me and my kids enjoyed it! Staff was lovely - It was my daughter's birthday and they gave her a muffin of her choice! The mexicana crepe was our favorite!

The food is good, the service is efficient, and the restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere.

Do not order through Yelp for this business. I did and an hour of my time was wasted as well as my card being charged (I'll get the refund in 3-5 days they say but still it's a hassle that wasn't necessary). When I called the establishment, despite getting an email from Yelp saying this business received my order, the business was very confused and not at all helpful. It was not suggested that I place my order through them on the phone or anything. They just had no solutions. And now I'm stuck using time I really do not have to find another dining option. It's a first world problem but my time is important to me.

We came here one morning for breakfast as it was close and walking distance from our hotel. The place is super cute and looks like an old southern house with indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is shaded and the place is adorable. They are a coffee house that also is known for crepes and other breakfast food and pastries. I had the s'mores coffee and a pumpkin spice latte on two different occasions and both were phenomenal. They have three sizes for the coffee. If you come here you HAVE to get the breakfast sandwich. This was hands down the BEST breakfast sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. It was simple bread, cheese, a fried egg, and bacon but it was amazing. The bread is Portuguese muffin and I believe it is the reason it taste so phenomenal. Everything is cooked to order so it is fresh. I ordered about 5 of these sandwichs. My friend had the crepes one day too and loved them but it did not compare to that breakfast sandwich. This will be my go to in Nashville!!

The Perch has figured it out. They're revised menu due to Covid-19 still has all the things that make this place special. (I didn't provide photos of the food because I grabbed my order to go) Here's what you should know They still have the creamiest shrimp & grits in TN!!! They still are making magic with they're waffles and crepes and they're coffee is spot on! If you're ever in the Brentwood, TN area please skip the franchises and stop in to this breakfast nook.

Good food, amazing coffee and pet friendly patio it does get crowded and the patio seating can get hot so it nice to come before 10am

Cute little place in Brentwood for coffee and crepes. I just ordered a coffee, the dulce de leche and it was so yummy. The coffee was strong but not overpowering and everyone was very friendly.and the crepes looked amazing, but didn't try this time.

COFFEE IS AMAZING! I loved the cute little environments! Everyone was super friendly!

The food is delicious on point.The service was excellent and faster.Ambiance is perfect for just 2 or 3 people,not for a large family,for me is perfect for to go.The coffee is the best of the best all the drink was so delicious.

My go to for coffee! There is never a long wait and I love that you can also sit outside! The crepes are to die for! There are so many combinations and you cannot go wrong!

The never ending search for Cozy coffeehouse with good food brought us here. On a Saturday morning the place was buzzing, we found it rather easy to pick out our coffee choices. A raspberry chocolate latte was my choice and it hit the spot and was ready fairly quickly. My sweet wife chose the Nordic, smoked salmon crepe. I opted for the blueberry waffle and beet and goat cheese salad with chicken. An unlikely pairing but very good. My only gripe was the wait for the food, but being a busy time with such a small place and the fair warning when placing our order it was at least known. Given the quality of the food it speaks to the freshness they offer. They have a few tables outside and we took advantage of the sunny morning. The variety of crepes will certainly please the most picky eater.

The Perch has seating inside and outside. It is not a large space. You order your food at the counter and pay. An employee brings you your food. The menu is written on the boards inside the restaurant. I had the Perch Crepe ( egg, bacon and cheddar cheese). It was delicious and filling. The others that were with me all loved their food choices. I can't imagine a tasteless option.

The waffles were good and coffee was good. We went for crepes but they told us it would Be 48 minutes for a crepe so we didn't have that time to wait. Got eggs and waffles which were good but those who had crepes looked good. Place is small and not a lot of seating. Would definitely try again knowing that I would need to wait for one.

Stopped in for a local roast and was pleasantly surprised of all the delicious menu items as well. My friend ordered the waffle and I ordered the customized omelette. We were both very pleased with our choices! We had plenty of food left over but not a drip of coffee was left in our cups!

Conveniently located in Brentwood near our church. We searched Yelp this am to try a different place (herban market is our go-to) Had a good rating and was close by. However it smells like they've been burning bacon all morning. 2 people in front of us. Our turn and the guy says 30 minutes for 2 crepes. (Banana for me, perky turkey for my hubs) we were a little hesitant but looked around and there were only 3 tables of people so we figured maybe it'd go faster. We waited 42 minutes and still don't have our food. So I went up to ask how much longer and he said "theres still 3 tickets in front of you." Wait What? "That's what was there when we came, the gentleman told us 30 minutes" He replied "we are finishing up a lot of to-go orders maybe 10 more minutes, sorry." Awful! The bathroom is so dirty. Dust, and grime along the floor; wood work and behind the sink on their insulation. (Gross) The air vents have spores blowing, the walls are so dirty and need to be wiped. The mini split on the wall has never been cleaned and is so dusty. And holy mackerel this place is so tiny and should not take an hour for 2 crepes. It's our first and last time! Our clothes and hair will smell awful when we leave and there's no reason it should be this dirty/dusty inside. Nor should it take this long. Like ever.

Adorable little coffee shop. Serving up great coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and crepes! Service was great, food came out quick! I'll definitely be back.

I know they're known for crepes, but I had to try the waffles. I ordered the blueberry Belgian waffle my husband ordered a plain Belgian waffle. They were so good, light and fluffy. I didn't care for the powdered sugar though. Next time I'd tell them to leave it off. Overall first time visiting this location nice atmosphere and great customer service. I'd definitely return! Loved it.

I came in here for breakfast on a Friday morning. I ordered the ham & Gruyère crepe and a latte. The food took some time to prepare (the place was pretty busy) but it was certainly worth the wait!

We stopped by for brunch. Beautiful weather outside so the outdoors eating was full. Thankfully, after ordering we found a table as they were pretty busy! We ordered an egg and cheese crepe and a blueberry waffle. The waffle was light and airy and had a nice vanilla flavor to it. The crepe was a little saltier than necessary, but delicious nonetheless. I spied someone else's bowl of strawberries and thought that would have been a nice complement to the crepe. Will have to remember that for next time. I wish there were more stand alone places like this that can knock it out of the park!
