Cafe Coco

Nashville


Located in a well-worn old cottage just off Elliston Pl, Cafe Coco has something for everyone. Twenty-somethings snack on sandwiches and cake in the front parlor, smoke on the large patio, drink at the bar and tap away on laptops in the old bedrooms (there's free wi-fi). The cafe also has a stage in the back for songwriter nights.

Try the 'Burn Book' Italian cream soda, a delightful combination of raspberry, blackberry and peach.
