Nashville Coffee Shops Open Late: Where to Get Caffeine After 5 PM

There are no shortage of great coffee shops in Nashville, but for some reason, most close in the afternoons, .leaving those of us who work late or want a non-alcohol focused place to hang after work in a bit of a bind. But…there are a few spots open past 5:00! Here are some Nashville coffee shops open late (r).

(As always, check with the business before heading out. Hours change all the time.)

Nashville Coffee Shops Open Late: Where to Get Caffeine After 5 PM

12 South/Edgehill

Land of A Thousand Hills – the Edgehill location stays open until 9 all week (6 on Sundays) and the back half transforms into a social space at 6 pm. It’s literally business in the front, party in the back! (I’m super proud of myself for that one.)

The Salty – A great option in 12 South. Despite being the only non-local shop on this list, the Salty deserves a spot for being open until 8 during the week, and 10 on Fridays and Saturdays. And, their donuts are really good.

Berry Hill/WeHo/South Nash

Americano Lounge – WeHo. This moody spot is one of my favorite places to read. Their hours vary, but from Tues-Sat, they are open until at least 10.

Cafe Babu – WeHo. From Thursday-Saturday, catch Cafe Babu open until 9 pm. It’s designed for socializing, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a spot to work.

Dozen – South Nash. Whether you’re craving lunch, a pastry, or my favorite matcha in the city, this delicious bakery is open until 6, Mon-Friday (close at 3 on Sat/Sun).

Humphrey’s Street – the WeHo location is open until 6, Mon-Fri (they close at 4 on the weekends). It’s a great option for extending your day just a little longer (and giving back to the community.

Paper Street – Berry Hill. Open Mon-Fri until 6:30 (and 5 on Sat/Sun).

Primitive – South Nash. Open Wed-Sun until 8:30. (Closed Sundays, and open until 5 on Monday/Tuesday.)

Donelson

Caliber – open every day until 8 (but closed on Sunday). They also have a good food menu, so a great option if you need to work through dinner.

Sunflower Bakehouse – really more restaurant than coffee shop, but they do have a full coffee menu and some of my favorite baked goods (vegan and gluten free!), so it counts. Open until 9, except Sundays close at 3.

Downtown

Crema – a Nashville institution, they’re open until 6 except Sundays close at 4 (same for the Brentwood location).

East

Bongo East – the game board aficionado’s paradise is open until 10 every night.

Haraz – hours vary, but they’re open until at least 10 every night. Note: this is more of a social spot than a working spot.

International Tea & Coffee – open til 6 Wed-Sat (only until 5 the rest of the week).

Living Waters – coffee shop and brewery. At some point they mainly switch to beer, but it’s still a good hang with some n/a options. Open until 8 or 9 every night.

Sip Cafe – whether you’re craving coffee or ice cream, Sip has you covered until 9 during the week and 10 on Saturday and Sunday.

Ugly Mugs – a remote workers haven, Ugly Mugs is open until 6 every night.

Madison

Passage Kava – more of a kava bar than anything else, they do serve coffee and an array of mocktails and other (all n/a) beverages. And it’s the only option that’s open until 2 am – every day!

The Nations/West Nash

Living Waters – same as the East location: coffee shop and brewery. At some point they mainly switch to beer, but it’s still a good hang with some n/a options. Open until 8 or 9 every night.
