The Crispiest Diet Cokes in Nashville
There’s just something about a crispy Diet Coke that soothes the soul – that perfect balance of sweetness and carbonation. While fountain Diet Cokes may be widely considered the superior form, not all are created equal. Here’s where you can find the crispiest Diet Cokes in Nashville! 🥤
I’ve noted specific locations of restaurants with multiple shops because those are the ones I can vouch for. The other locations may be great as well, and this list will be updated as I find more crispies!
Assembly Food Hall – Downtown
I can only vouch for the fountains on the Prince’s side of the Hall, but those are excellent. Pairs well with any of the local restaurants in the Food Hall!
Baja Burrito – Berry Hill
Go for the Diet Coke, stay for the incredible tacos and burritos.
Caliber Coffee – Donelson
Cheating on this one because it’s not DC brand. But it’s a good sugar free cola, reasonably priced, and at a coffee shop – what other coffee shops have any fountain sodas, period?
Cledis – Bellevue
I’ve heard the Elm Hill one is crispy, too, but I know the fountain on the left in Bellevue is fire.
Doublz – Donelson
This is a locally owned location of a family owned business and they are always so nice! A great option for a drive through DC.
Elliston Place Soda Shop – Midtown
It would be a real shame if a soda shop didn’t have a crispy DC. Fortunately, they do. 😅
Gordo’s Taqueria – WeHo
They need bigger cups and smaller ice cubes…but the Diet Coke is crispy! And the food is good, too.
Hattie B’s Hot Chicken – West
They put hot chicken on the map, and they stay coming in clutch with their DC.
Little Hats Market – Germantown
Honestly, with all their specialty products, I wouldn’t expect them to have a good fountain soda situation, but it’s very, very good.
McDougal’s – Edgehill
The cups are small, so go sparingly on the ice if you’re taking it to go. But they’ve got the good ice, so honestly, just stick around and eat there!
Mr. J’s Original – Downtown
Burgers, pastrami, chicken, and more diner food. I could tell straight from the fountain it was going to be good – and it’s perfect. Plus they have the good ice.
Poke Nash – Sylvan Park
The syrup was slightly off, I think, but still good. And maybe that means more soda because it was extra crispy! And the poke bowl was very good, too!
Prince’s Hot Chicken – Tanger Outlets
I could tell by how fizzy it was coming out of the machine that it was going to be top tier. Might be my current fave.
Waldo’s Chicken & Beer – Germantown
Waldo’s is honestly not my personal favorite food-wise (I may be in the minority here). But, the Germantown location has one of the best DC’s.
McDonald’s – everywhere
Sorry – it’ll just always be number 1. (Use the app, and get it for $1.10 up to four times a day!)
Any that I’ve missed? I’m always on the hunt for a crispy Diet Coke, so bookmark this page and check back for ongoing additions!
