Great service. We had an iced latte and the Ooola steamer. I recommend both. Only needed to add a drop off honey to the steamer. The only reason it gets 4 stars is for the lack of pastry items. They had 2 kinds of muffins for pastries. Otherwise highly recommend for cute, hand crafted coffee/tea/juice beverages.

The aesthetics were very pleasing, the store was clean, prices were competitive and the staff was friendly and polite. My London Fog was on point. Also...the numbers in the address are the same as mine, so thats definitely a plus. I will return in the near future for impending deliciousness.

GREAT COFFEE! I work in a coffee shop. I used to be quite addicted to coffee. I did an Ellimination diet Jan of 2019 so I have been coffee free for over a year and a half. We went on vacation and I broke my no coffee with the Bowtie Barista and I was not disappointed! What a great latte 😁Im only giving it 4 stars as the shop itself felt kind of dirty and cluttered. But the coffee was excellent!

The most solid coffee shop option in the Donelson/Hermitage area. A friendly, accommodating, staff, and a pleasant low-key atmosphere.

One of the best lattes I have ever had! It is a peaceful, friendly place. The people who work there are cheerful in a genuine way, very different from places that force their employees to appear so. It is SO NICE to have something other than soy or almond for alt. milks too. The macadamia nut is delicious!!!!!! I am so happy to have found The Bowtie Barista and will be coming back often!

My go to coffee shop in this part of the greater Nashville area. They easily make some of the best cold brew coffee in middle Tennessee. This shop can also has a variety of poor over methods as well. There also seems to be much less of the typical soccer mom crowd typically found in most other coffee shops. Basically a great atmosphere and Great coffee.

I am so in love with this place! It is ridiculously cute, the coffee is AMAZING and the staff is knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Support your local community by coming here and you will not be disappointed! Pin your home on the map, read local art magazines or just hang out while drinking some delicious coffee.

Another great place to go for a cup of coffee! Took my mother in law for an after dinner cup and she enjoyed it . they also have a small juice bar and coffee blends selected by some of Nashvilles coffee roasters for sale. Another local spot to check out!

Pretty relaxed, easy on and off to the street, parking easy, coffee was really good. I had a latte, the cappuccino also good the barista was friendly and relaxed. We had ours to go but the seating looked comfortable.

Incredibly happy that there is finally a great local coffee shop in the area! Their coffee is good and the lattes have extra flair that makes them solid competition for some of the bigger names in the Nashville area. The staff is kind and very helpful without the cool arrogance you will find in a lot of smaller shops these days. Their macadamia milk is a genius addition and I cant wait for my next visit.

Review №22

The service was great, but I didnt like the drink I bought. I got a caramel latte but the milk they used was macadamia milk and I apparently do not like macadamia milk. Other than that it was a great experience. Its a trendy little coffee shop and its decorated really well! I was impressed

Review №23

I enjoyed this place! Great tea and their coffee was good too, and they make their own in house macadamia nut milk. They call it milkademia. It was great too! Made my London fog great!

Only visited once son this review is barf on that visit. My barista was super nice and informative about everything. I got a iced salted coconut coffee. I normally drink my coffee black but I was hot and I love coconut. The drink was great. I live far from there but will make it a stop when I travel to the airport.

Review №25

This place was cool. Very simple inside. I got to try macadamia milk for the first time and it was tasty. However, my friend got a white chocolate mocha drink and it was quite gross. I would recommend a regular latte, for sure.

Jo
Review №26

Tried this for the first time today and it is the best coffee in town. I had a latte, my wife had a vanilla latte, and my daughter had a vanilla steamer. They were all fantastic and the right temp (not too ungodly hot or scorched, like Starbucks). Well definitely be back.

Visiting Nashville, friendly staff gave us some local eating suggestions. Strong caramel latte, sweet but not overly like some local chains. Would come again!

Excellent coffee. The syrups they use for flavored lattes arent the cheap kind; they taste wonderful instead of just sweet. Beautiful place. Equally priced with Starbucks for a mch, much better product

Best coffee in Donelson by far. The staff is beyond friendly and timely, and know their stuff about coffee. Sometimes they also offer Turkish coffee, which was something I’ve not seen elsewhere in the US.

I adore this local favorite!! Bowties are cool! Great coffee and if you are a buff they have all the special blends and brews combined with chill, knowledgeable staff! Their joint is always clean and open. They have fun local specialty lattes like Mexican mocha lavendar honey and salted coconut mocha. Its a must visit!! Try their homemade juices too! 5 stars from me ❤️

The Honey Lavender Latte is my fave. This place has the best ambience. Its very snug and cozy!

Review №37

Coffee is good but overpriced...I paid over $7 (including tip) for a 12 oz. Chai latte with a shot of espresso. Quality and atmosphere was very nice - but Id rather save $ on the product vs hanging in a hipster atmosphere. Thats just me tho...check it out if you are indifferent about the price of your coffee. Youll probably enjoy the environment more than I did.

This shop offers the best coffee east of the city. I always feel a warm welcome when I come in, and I am very impressed by the product. Keep up the great work guys!

Great neighborhood coffee shop in the ever expanding Donelson area. Coffee is rich in flavor and balanced. The atmosphere is the intersection of industrial and farm to table. And the staff is friendly and prompt with your drink order.

Review №43

A good coffee shop. Quality coffee done right, good service, nice enough atmosphere. They do have good but limited socializing and hang-out type seating and easy Wifi. Its a noisier place (high ceiling, loud grinders, etc), doesnt qualify as cozy, and has limited food selections.

I had a great coffee and muffin in this place, the staff was corteaus, the place was clean . I would recommend it for sure. It is not easy to notice it from the street, you will probably pass it by and then turn back in the parking lot it is in the corner. Its totally worth the effort.

Review №51

Really cute coffee shop with delicious coffee (and macadamian milk!). Not a lot of seating, but its a perfect spot for commuters taking the Music City Star (station is right behind coffee shop). Also, check in on the fabric map and tell everyone where youre from!

Review №53

I was really excited to come try their coffee flight which offers a particular coffee offered 3 ways- espresso, pour over, and aero press. This is why I decided to chose this coffee joint. Unfortunately they don’t offer it any longer and hadn’t updated their website to reflect this, but I did enjoy what I ordered there and the ambiance was super chill and the noise level was low. I was able to get some studying done. Just an FYI- Don’t expect to have much in the way of food here. I saw a couple mini cheese cakes on display and that’s about it. Overall, I would return.

Your name has been stolen by a coffee shop in Arcadia valley Missouri. The shops name is Arcadia valley roasting company . The main employee has a Facebook page called the bowtie barista just thought you should know. He gets orders from out of town and locally. Not fair for you.

Love this new little gem in Donelson. The large community work table right in the middle of the store creates an very warm atmosphere. Baristas are kind and cool. I definitely recommend this place for both a catch-up with friends or an ear-buds in work day.

Review №58

This is the ideal coffee shop. The atmosphere is perfect, the customer service is spot on and the coffee is delicious. The owner is already looking for ways to make a positive impact for the community and is dedicated to his craft and influence in the neighborhood. Being a former barista and a casual coffee drinker I did not feel any sort of judgement on my overly-sweetened latte of choice from some snob, but rather, I received a warm welcome and felt right at home. This is now my new go to spot.

Review №78

I really wanted to like this place, but was disappointed. I was here on a Monday morning at 8:30. The coffee was okay, but not great, and pricier than Starbucks. I know many would argue that Starbucks isnt great coffee, but this wasnt better. Tried to order a breakfast sandwich but they didnt have ham, turkey, cheese or a bagel, so the only breakfast option was a muffin which didnt interest me.
