8th & Roast
A Nashville roaster with cafes on 8th Ave South, Charlotte Avenue and in Midtown, plus a counter at the airport.
#2 in Coffee
What to get
- Homemade pistachio latte (Eater's fan favorite)
- Seasonal latte (e.g., brown butter butterscotch)
- A breakfast sandwich with your pick of sauce (bell pepper aioli on the sausage brioche deluxe)
When to go
It works like a coworking room (Infatuation); if tables are full, the Charlotte Ave and Midtown shops are alternatives.
Insider tip
Readers' Best Coffeehouse 2025. Roasting moved to Grandview Ave; grab a bag at the BNA airport shop on the way out (Eater). Its wholesale coffee is poured at 350+ cafes and offices, so ask (Scene).
