Eighth & Roast

Nashville

LoginSave

This urban coffeehouse (coffee from $4) welcomes visitors with the warm aroma of roasting beans. Beverage favorites include the vanilla-bean latte, a perfectly sweet frothy concoction, and the Panama Elida, a fruity roast sure to please adventurous coffee lovers. Sandwiches ($9-11) and snacks are also on offer, along with a selection of seriously delicious muffins.

We recommend the sausage cornbread or the strawberry cardamom muffin varieties. There's a second location in West Nashville at 4104 Charlotte Ave.
