Cozy, chill coffee spot with great views! You can sit out back, in front, inside, or grab a cup to go and take a walk. Their syrups are housemade and coffee is smooth. You can also have a bite to eat or bakery item to include gluten-free options. You can also have ice cream desserts, shakes, and affagato here!

Really adorable coffee shop. Tried the Earl grey latte per a friends suggestion and it was awesome. The atmosphere is great and service was good. My husband had the peach kombucha and said it was fantastic. While we didnt order any food, the pastries looked yummy. Will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

Very popular this morning. Got an almond milk vanilla latte medium and it was about 6.80$. Nothing too special but not bad

One of the best coffee shops in Franklin. Coffee is great and the staff is always fast and kind. They have great food and milkshakes. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Franklin. Good coffee, very awesome staff, overall awesome. The only gripe I have is the size of the sitting area. It seems like the space could have been set up more effectively to allow more room to roam. But on less crowded days, I have spent entire mornings working from there and been glad to do so. Westhaven wouldnt be the same without this shop!

A piece of heaven in West Haven. A must visit when you have the privilege to travel to this part of the world. An idyllic community & a lovely cosy friendly place to catch up with mates and drink a great barista’d coffee

Easily the best coffee in Franklin! The staff is super welcoming and takes the time to get to know you.

Review №11

Excellent matcha green tea latte, but only average coffee. My wife drinks coffee, I dont. She said its really hard to find a place as good as Philz (west coast chain). So I suppose that should be factored in. But so far, this place seems about in line with others in the area as far as coffee.

I came here to say that High Brow, hands down, has the best coffee in the United States. I lived in Colombia for an extended period and spent a lot of time on coffee farms, so I feel that I have enough expertise to make that claim.My wife and I come here every Saturday & Sunday morning for our Latte and to walk around the lake. It is a ritual that we look forward to throughout the week. The prices are similar to what youd find in a bigger city (its the same price as my coffee shop in LA), but its better than my coffee shop in LA.If youre looking for great coffee and an establishment worthy of your hard-earned money, youll appreciate the friendly staff, clean dining room, and nice selection of coffee & pastries.

This place is AWESOME! Really like this place. Very nice decor (wood, Edison bulbs, exposed ceiling). I got their Coffee Soda and Ive got to say - Fantastic! - a great mix of bitter and sweet. Will definitely be buying this again :) Their Paninis are also really good. :) I got a Ham and Swiss. Very tasty!

The bacon egg and cheese panini on sourdough bread is one of the best Ive had! The bacon was crispy, and bread was cooked to perfection, the egg wasnt the best but it didnt even matter! Giving four stars because I wasnt in love with the expresso.

High Brow Coffee + Tea has some of the best coffee in town. But it is not just the coffee that will keep you coming back. The vibe inside is great and Devon and his team do a great job of serving their customers. This is a great place to meet up with friends or clients and enjoy one of the best brews around.

The coffee has a distinct flavor that you will either love or hate. The fresh treats are a plus and the environment is very inviting! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. It is a nice place to go and visit with a friend or just a nice quiet place to go and get some work done while having a snack and cup of coffee.

Its my favorite coffee shop in the Franklin/Nashville area. Their Bourbon Caramel Latte with Coconut Almond milk is to die for. Its not one of those lattes that covers up the taste with sugar...but brings out a good coffee flavor mixed with something else. Excellent place and I 100% recommend.

Review №29

Love high brow. Such a cool place to hang out, work or rock in a rocking chair outside. They make the most delicious coffee and tea drinks and take pride in what they do. Lots of vegan options and snacks for kids too. Love this place!!!

Love, love, love their Bourbon Caramel Latte and Spicy Mocha. Not overly sugary or fake tasting. Quality beans. Divine cinnamon rolls. Vegan muffins for people with egg sensitivities. And FRIENDLY staff (unfortunately thats not the case in all Franklin coffee shops).

Review №31

I love their homemade pop tarts. They pair so well with a latte ☕️ Their seasonal lattes were amazing. I had both the pumpkin spice in November and the peppermint mocha in December. I loved them both. I can’t wait to see what’s new next!

I have mixed feelings. I didn’t find it kid friendly, but it’s not really advertised as kid friendly so that’s okay. However, I can’t help that I have a toddler, and I felt a little unwelcome with him. The woman behind the counter was very nice. The male barista was not friendly at all, but perhaps he was having a bad day, so whatever. The coffee was pretty good, but I agree with another reviewer who said the items are overpriced. I won’t be back. I prefer Starbucks.

Yummy, yummy, yummy! If you are a tea drinker and like it a little sweet and creamy....you have to try a Franklin Fog1. I am HOOKED! And a sweet from The Triple Crown Bakery is a great combination!

Atmosphere, staff, cleanliness were all 10/10.Coffee, was okay. Not bad, but not impressively good either.Pricing and value have room for improvement. But youre kind of paying for the atmosphere of a place like this. Very nice modern vintage feel. Have not yet tried the ice cream.

Review №47

The coffee was excellent. I ordered a sausage and biscuit, and waited for over 15 minutes and they still have not even started prepairing it yet. There was a pan of freshly baked biscuits sitting there, and they were warming up biscuits that looked like they had never even been cooked not golden anywhere in the microwave? And still they had not gotten to my order yet. Their food prep method seemed very inefficient. I finally told them that I could not wait any longer and had to leave.An update... the owner texted me and issued a refund for the biscuit and offered to make it right. That is a demonstration of great management/leadership and people skills and I really appreciate it. For this reason I edited my review to 4 stars. Thanks Dustin.

Review №48

My latte was *definitely* better than Starbucks or Biggby (for those familiar with them). The 2 baristas I dealt with were friendly without being pushy friendly. The Super Carrot muffin I had was very good. Nice and heavy with whole grain flour. Maybe a bit overpriced, but worth it to me.

Brought some out of towers to get coffee today and the staff was very unfriendly. No hi, welcome, how are you etc.. I’ve been here twice before and it was the same coldness. The coffee drinks are very bland. Also charging extra for caramel syrup you can’t even taste isn’t my kind of place.

This cute little coffee shop was such a delight! I walked in and the ladies were super friendly! I was in town for a workshop and stopped to recaffinate and wish they were in my hometown. The atmosphere was great and welcoming. If I am ever in that area again I will stop again!

$7 for a latte? Behave! I’d have expected a chartered plane to bring the beans direct from Columbia for that price. Coffee was a bit hit and miss and staff were not overly friendly. Underwhelming.

Best coffee in the zip code for sure. High Brow knows how to take care of coffee connoisseurs. Dont forget to try Ernie Greers sausage, ham, or bacon biscuits, too. Produced right around the corner in Southall. The ice cream is nothing to sneeze at either.

A great little coffee shop. Both inside and outside seating. Sit outfront and view the Westhaven lake, while doing a lityle people watching. Better yet..walk around the lake with your favorite hot beverage.WIFI availabe.A small selection of other fine snacks are available to go with a good cup of coffee or tea.(scones,doughnuts etc) It beats the common starbucks chain atmosphere hands down.

Great coffee, just unfortunately theres these two lecherous old men that act like they run the place that have always been there when I stop in. You can visibly see the women cringe when those cassanovas put their hands on them. I was late meeting a friend there and one of them tried to sell her a car and invaded her personal space and put his hand on her back. Creepy!
