Nashville Coffee Tour #5It was our first experience here and I absolutely loved it! Great atmosphere with rich, bold coffee. Hubs and I both ordered Americanos and we both enjoyed them. Our friends ordered a vanilla latte and a--get this--Turkish Delight Float! What!? He said it tasted like it!The vibe felt like a cool jazz lounge with a grand piano in the corner and brass instruments as decorations (and maybe people actually play them.) It reminded me of New York in many ways.The best part was it was open late and gave us a place to chat and hang out.We will definitely be returning.

Good stuff!I usually dont drink latte because most of them have no coffee flavor, and taste like milk. (I dont like milk flavor.)The latte here has a nice, strong espresso flavor, so I like it a lot 👍

Fantastic coffee house great vibe, they are a European style coffee house which means they serve coffee and alcohol all day so if you want a martini in the morning because its your day off, or an espresso at 10:00 p.m. because youre going in on the night shift, no judgment and they make the best Americano Ive ever had. I havent ever had their cocktails but I can vouch for the quality of their coffee. Also the vibe is fantastic very classy and they have live jazz on weekends!Do yourself a favor and go get an Americano at Americano!

Wow. This was the best americano I’ve had in my entire life. The owner Cody is an absolute artisan of his coffee craft. He took the time to explain their genuine single origin coffees and how they are sourced. He spent over two years researching and traveling the world taste testing before opening the shop. Truly incredible.

Whoa...the atmosphere is epic!! This coffee shop, lounge, jazz bar is a must see. The coffee scores strong with 8.6 on the espresso and 8.7 on the drip! Set our office up here, please!! Didnt have any cocktails, but we will be back!

My husband magically found this gem our first day in Nashville. This place is awesome! Great service ~ the scones are so scrumptious I wish I had bought some our last day in Nashville but we didn’t have time. My husband had a hot tea beverage and I ordered the espresso latte. The atmosphere is so cozy and comfortable they also have some games you can play while sipping on beverages. The beverage menu is extensive offering coffee cocktails, regular cocktails, assorted coffee and teas, and some small pastries / a few food option like paninis. Definitely recommend coming here! Thank you for great service and delicious drinks~

The atmosphere here is amazing! The decorations and furniture give it a very cozy feel. Their coffee cocktails are really good and are worth trying! They dont really do much in the way if pour over coffee, if thats what youre wanting, but they have a lot of different espresso drinks. Overall this is a really great place!

I come here every now and then but I recently noticed the music is always the same and it would be nice if they played chill stuff but it’s literally the exact same songs, and variety would really add to a better experience.

AMAZING customer service, amazing ambiance, amazing coffee, amazing cocktails! Super impressed with everything about this little coffee shop/lounge! What a gem that I believe is still slightly undiscovered. ;)

This place is the definition of form over function. It is a nice little coffee bar, and the espresso is fairly good, but there are just some strange things that dont quite put it over the line from decent to good. This is a very instagram friendly place, and they really lean into that. Some of the coffees are served in extravagant, though not particularly practical uninsulated single walled glass containers. Uninsulated single wall glass + hot espresso = burning your hand with hot coffee. It is the strangest thing, Im sure there are presentable insulated glass cups out there, why not use those so people can actually drink the beverage when it is hot? This may have just been something on the flight, looking at other pictures from the business it appears most coffee containers arent single walled glass, but the point still stands. The coffee itself is fairly good, far from the worst Ive had, but also not amazing. I ordered a coffee flight to give a few different styles a try, which came on a floor tile matching the flooring in the building. It was a very nice reference, but let me say it was terrifying to attempt to balance three glass coffee containers on a single tile without any holders for the cups in it, and Im saying that as a one-time waiter. The macchiato was the best of the three if anyone is curious. The espresso was fine, no strong notes in it at all, and there wasnt any crema, but Im thinking that this is because it was a true single shot. Most likely the machine pours a double and then they dump half, but I cant say for sure. The food also is just decent. I would give it a miss, really. It is worth going to for the interesting environment, but the actual food and coffee is very meh. I havent tried the cocktails but if I go by again Ill be sure to do so.

Well done all the way around. The place looks amazing, server a great latte, and was incredibly friendly. The building itself is worth the visit, I would estimate it at leAt 100 years old. The best part is it is locally owned, unlike the green mermaid place that is a national conglomerate. Love places like this

So, this place is unique for sure. I got the coffee tonic. Very different but good. This place has a good vibe and I’ll definitely come back. You should check it out and get something funky. I’m gonna try the coffee cola next time.

It is unique to my acquaintanceship with coffee houses and cocktail lounges to find the spirits of both so intertwined and sophisticatedly expressed as they are throughout the Americano Lounge. It is as if someone’s soul was focused through a lens. Feel welcome when enveloped, for the buttery croissants filled with spinach and ricotta are dope

Our friends took us here on a whim and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had in Nashville. The guys behind the bar are friendly and helpful, passionate about remembering people and wanting everyone to feel welcomed. Atmosphere is 10/10, drinks are phenomenal. I got the Irish Coffee and I had to think hard on when was the last time I had a coffee cocktail this good (I was in the barista world for many years and I was beyond impressed). Will be coming back for sure.Random fact: if you own a Husky, you will click with everyone here. We have one so it worked for us ;)

This place is slowly becoming a place I visit to do a little work and enjoy some great bourbon, coffee, or tea. They have a long shelf of bourbon sided with a ton off coffee and tea selections. The are knowledgeable, kind, and quick with their service. The environment is very laid back and relaxing. Ill definitely be back.

Review №26

One of the best kept secrets in Nashville. Where music industry cats and coffee aficionados meet as they listen to quiet jazz or loft beats and discuss the latest trends.An old rustic grand piano sits in the corner and is well used by jazz musicians on the weekends. This place is the real deal. Nothing fake. Solid real vibe.

Great atmosphere. Very kind and helpful staff. Maybe a bit pricey, but the phrase “get what you pay for” comes to mind, and they really do deliver. Very tasty beverages. We take our out-of-town guests here for a chill environment and good drink. Parking is usually easy to find on the street, but paid parking is available.

Ordered a muffin for $4.50, small coffee $2.75 tax and tip were $2.1 for a total of $9.35. A little pricey for a small coffee and muffin. Im typically ok with nearly $10 for a coffee and muffin but today that changed. After I finished my muffin and finished a work email I left the plate near the cash register and went to the coffee to go area to grab a lid. The barista grabbed the plate I sat down near the register (I put it there attempting to be kind as to make cleaning the area easier) he dumps the muffin wrapper in the trash can then hands me the plate and says do you mind putting this in that bus tub WHERE it belongs I was a little shocked as an overpriced item with an 18% tip usually deserves decent service. I get expensive coffee sometimes comes with a side attitude but Ive never had a server hand me a plate and order me to put it somewhere. I took the plate from the barista and promptly sat it down on my original seat.

High caliber coffee and vibe. Great that you can switch from coffee to cocktails later in the day too. Nashville has a void of low-key, velvet lounges. These guys are a welcome presence in Nashvilles ever-refining coffee house scene.

Review №38

My personal favorite coffee shop in the city. The entire staff seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of all things coffee-related. They have coffee down to a science AND an art.Their beans are sustainably-sourced as well, and they dont cut corners to mass-produce them. I greatly admire this, even if it means my favorite coffee may not always be available year-round (thats hardly an issue anyway, as Ive yet to have a cup of anything from Americano that wasnt top-notch)

Had a GREAT time with the folks here on opening day (and I was there for most of it, working). Their menu looks good but theyre coffee aficionados enough to make anything you ask for; the cortado they made me was fantastic. I also had some sort of iced espresso beverage (whatever was recommended, I just went with it), which was cool, creamy, and had just enough punch to help get me through the afternoon. Sadly I only had time to get one pastry, the spinach ricotta croissant sandwich (which I recommend at room temp) was flaky, crusty, and delicious.Aside from the drinks and food, the interior was also unique and enjoyable. The decor fit perfectly with their 1930s (hope thats the right decade) theme, and was comfortable enough to hang out in all day, with just the right level of noise to allow me to be productive.There are a lot of coffee shops both old and new in the Nashville area, and Ive been to most of them. Id recommend Americano to anyone who enjoys good coffee, a delightful atmosphere, and great conversation with those behind the counter. I for one will be back again soon.

This is a true lounge with café tables, arm chairs and sofas that is perfect to work from or just socialize! Coffee is roasted to perfection, which make any of the many espresso beverages delicious. Depending on the day there is live music in the evening with adult beverages to unwind.

Great selection of coffee, lots of variety on the menu, and even has a wide selection of coffee-based cocktails. I like that the coffee is organic and sustainably sourced. The staff is friendly and the seating is cozy. Easy place to relax and play a game of chess while you listen to the live jazz music they frequently have. Havent made them available as of Feb. 2019, but they will also have a selection of sandwiches and other lunch-type bites that Im excited to try. Overall really good coffee and great vibe.

First time visit this morning with my wife... I got a latte + bacon&egg croissant, my wife had a cup of drip and cinnamon roll. Everything looked and tasted great and the environment of the shop is very relaxing. Special shout-out to the staff who were super kind & inviting. We also witnessed another customer being flat-out rude to a barista regarding the indoor temperature and the barista handled it like a pro! Will certainly be back, thanks!

Love Americano Coffee Lounge! The coffee is great, but the staff are even better. They are geniuses with flavor. I asked for a unique drink over Ice Cream and I enjoyed watching the creative process as they brought flavors to life with fresh ingredients and syrups. My daughter ordered a rootbeer float, and they made the soda right before our eyes with soda water and syrup. It was so fun!The decor is a refreshing respite from the yawn-inducing interiors of corporate-driven chain stores. Americano has created seating areas that fit small groups as well as individuals using a creative layout to separate areas of the shop. They have a stage with a gorgeous piano - I cant wait to catch some live music. And theyve thoughtfully created space for people who need to get some work done by having power outlets at several locations (I always look for plugs when I check out a new coffee shop).Cant wait to go back and explore more new flavors and drinks!

This is definitely a take on a trendy coffee shop located on a very busy intersection in Nashville. They had multiple options as far as coffee goes. Anything from pour overs, to lattes, to cappuccinos, you name it, they could make it. The staff was very friendly and quick to answer any questions that arose during my brief stay.
