8th & Roast 4104 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville, TN 37209

"We have been purchasing their espresso beans at our local grocery store for a few months so we were excited to purchase the beans fresher and try the drinks at an actual location. The bagged beans were about a week since roast date already, but still fresher than a grocery store, so we will let that wash. However, oddly, they are about $4 more a bag at 8th & Roast compared to the reseller. Also, staff was not extremely knowledgeable in the origin of the beans used for the blend. As for the drinks, I am always very specific and order the same drink when trying a new coffee bar, breve cappuccino, dry foam, drinkable temperature. The taste of the espresso was good, as expected since I use the beans at home. I was happily surprised that the temperature was exactly what I wanted, as most places still have it scalding. What failed terribly, though, was their milk steaming capabilities. You are not able to do a dry foam cappuccino if you have no foam at all. The drink I was given was equivalent to a no foam latte. There was no difference, actually, between what was supposed to be my cappuccino with dry foam and my husband's latte, except his was the larger size."

"Really good coffee, think 8th & Roast is coming out on top many of the local coffee houses in Nashville. Really good decaf Americano with flavorful lattes. This location, as with the others, feels "studenty" and young professional, but honestly very trendy. I like the place, full of light. Not loud."

"What an incredible space to work or study! Coffee is great. I tried their seasons special — Lavender honey Latte (iced) and it was very uniquely good. 8th and Roast is so consistently good with their espresso, be it airport location or their stand alone location. It’s one of those chains that strive to be as good as your local cafe but have all the consistency and standardization of a chain. There’s so much space inside to host a large crowd. A few tables outside as well. There’s a parking lot nearby and some spots reserved for 10-min pick-up customers as well. Very impressed with their efficiency. I’ll be coming here again."

"Coffee is $2.50 and their beans are delicious. Their French roast is great, it's a nice dark coffee with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. The whole place is well-lit with lots of tables to sit at. The staff is very friendly, and happy to help. This is one of the better new coffee shops I've been to here in Nashville, and definitely worth a stop."
