Cozy Coffee Shops in Nashville
Ahh, cozy coffee shops in Nashville. There’s nothing I love more than a cozy coffee shop – a place to settle in with a good book or your laptop and a hot drink and escape to another world for a little while.

Nashville has so many great coffee shops, but here are some of the best for achieving peak coziness.
☕ 8th & Roast – the OG location has recently been remodeled and it is SO cozy. Exposed brick, moody lighting, and more seating then it used to have (you’ll find the Charlotte 8&R on my best coffee shops for working list!)
☕ Americano Lounge – It’s giving jazz age, with oversized furniture, an aesthetic fireplace, and occasional live music. (Plus an impressive espresso martini menu!)
☕ Cafe Babu – coffee shop by day, wine/cocktail bar at night, Cafe Babu has a Mediterranean vibe and is intentionally curated for conversation and community.
☕ Cafe Sperry’s – the back room of this shop feels like a wealthy person’s library, with plush leather chairs and a fireplace.
☕ Hanna Bee – cozy, but make it bright! The East Nashville location of Hanna Bee has great seating, but plenty of natural light to warm you through the windows.
☕ Headquarters – this tiny spot on Charlotte Pike gives all the warm, cozy vibes – and their hidden patio only adds to the quaintness.
☕ Land of a Thousand Hills West – Hang in a ski-lodge-esque setting, support a great cause.
☕ The Loading Dock – recently re-opened in a new spot in North Nash, this long-time Nashville favorite has ALL the cozy vibes, from shabby chic furniture, to an electric fire, to an extensive tea collection.
☕ Perenn – this French-inspired bakery in South Nash has an upstairs that feels like a cozy, leather-bound library. Perfect for deep work or reading with a delicious latte and baguette.
☕ Sam & Zoe’s – once turned into a Luke’s for a national Gilmore Girls pop-up, Sam & Zoe’s has charm and a great front porch.
☕ The Good Cup (Franklin) – worth the drive, the Good Cup is the epitome of shabby chic and also serves ambrosia as one of their lunch sides, which is always a win in my book.
☕ 2nd and Bridge (Franklin) – right in downtown Franklin, we love a restored historic home, complete with creaky floors. It’s always crowded, but there are plenty of nooks and crannies to find a spot.
