Move

The original Barista Parlor. Big space, good coffee. Grab a table and stretch the afternoon before the show.

Open until 6 PM · Walk-in coffee stop.

The Germantown outpost. The Black Eye is the move: espresso dropped into drip coffee. Big and bright, enough room to settle into the afternoon.

Daytime through early evening · Walk-in coffee stop.

Direct-trade roaster on Taylor Street. They take origin trips. The flash-chilled coffee soda in summer. Minimalist, calm, closes at 4pm.

Daytime through early evening · Walk-in coffee stop.

Bright, seriously-run downtown espresso bar. Closes at 6, so it's a daytime or early-evening move before a Broadway show — not an after-stop.

Open until 6 PM · Walk-in coffee stop.

Franklin-born roaster. Locals have been loyal since the start.

Open daily · Walk-in coffee stop.

Named after the pet shop sign that used to hang here. Bob Bernstein opened it in 1996 — the Bongo Java people. Enough room to spend three hours and not feel watched. One of Nashville's real third places.

Open daily · Walk-in coffee stop.

Small-batch roasted coffee inside Marathon Village. Lattes, baked goods. The morning stop.

Daytime · Walk-in coffee stop.

In-house roasting on 8th Ave. Iced coffee on tap. The daytime stop before the night starts.

Daytime through early evening · Walk-in coffee stop.
