Situated in the very busy Seven Springs area of Brentwood on Old Hickory just off of 65, The Well is a local favorite for a multitude of reasons, and I finally popped in one afternoon to see what all the fuss was about...and for the most part, I enjoyed it!
The Well is a local-esk coffee shop with several locations around Nashville metro and then one location in Indiana. The name is meaningful beyond the surface and ties directly into their mission, which is to fund clean drinking wells through their profits. So, a place with a mission is always worth supporting!
The coffee menu is full of all the classics you love from espresso drinks to brewed coffee, iced to hot. They do have a few alternative drinks such as hot chocolate, tea, matcha and even a few smoothies. I am a classic cold brew guy, so that is what I went with. Toss in a splash of almond milk and a shot of mocha, and I am off to the races! The iced coffee was solid, and fair priced around $5 - $6 after the add-ins. Was a little bummed they did not have sugar free syrups/flavorings available, but I made do.
While I did not partake, they do offer a variety of food items from breakfast sandwiches and burritos, bagels, bowls, wraps, salads and more. Of course they have a selection of baked goods and pastries as well.
The space is good sized, open and has the vibe of a modern coffee shop. Lots of seating indoors and they also have several tables outside in shared corridor that make for a great spot when the weather is nice.
Parking is decent and accessible. If you are lucky, you can grab a spot that lines the front of the complex, but if not, there are plenty of spaces throughout the complex.
Overall, The Well is a good spot for a coffee and/or a treat. Coffee with a purpose, I can get behind that, especially since I get a tasty iced coffee out of it!
