Flatrock Coffee, Tea & More

The level of customer service is disappointing and below par of the minimum requirements it takes to serve at a coffee shop. First I was looked at like I was from another planet when I asked if I could pour my own creamer into my coffee, which resulted in me having to say «when» while an employee poured it for me. I get if they have some weird food handling restrictions, but maybe don’t look at me like I’m insane for being an adult and fully capable of doing it myself. To top off my experience, I asked for a refill (my second cup) in my «bottomless» cup of joe, and was promptly forgotten about for 10 minutes while they had casual conversations with an incoming customer while the café was almost totally empty. I had to pack up all of my work and leave. I regret tipping for the hopes of having a routine coffee shop experience. Never going back!

Got a chai latte, it was really good! Place is very clean with plenty of generous sized tables (I think it would be a good place to study).

What a cool little secret in this part of town! The coffee was fantastic. I had the normal drip and tastes my friend’s iced coffee and loved every bit. The service was even better! I really enjoyed the vibe of the room and the women at the bar were so kind and wonderful! Will definitely be going back!

Was passing through Nashville and decided to get my morning coffee here. So glad I did! The coffee is excellent, and they have a breakfast empanada that is to die for (be sure to get the spicy green chili sauce with it). Awesome atmosphere. Will definitely come back the next time I’m in Nashville.

Friendly and helpful service, good strong coffee, and great pumpkin streusel muffin. Pretty sweet place!

I was looking for an alternate to a chain and saw this had decent Unilocal reviews, so stopped in on the way to my client’s office.
The Great: The staff. The lady working today was very nice!
The Average: The coffee tasted good, but the foam on my latte was very thin/​weak and visually was pretty haphazard. I also had a muffin (wrapped in plastic) that was A-​OK.
The atmosphere was a little funky, but coming from Seattle I like an odd coffee house as much as the next guy. Overall it was probably a 3.5, but I just couldn’t bring myself to bump it up to 4 stars.
In the end, A-​OK summed up my experience perfectly.

A diamond in the rough!!! Really cool coffee shop that appeals to everyone from the working professional and study groups to families and casual gatherings. Lots of space inside and really clean everywhere inside with a kids corner, TV, and even had a changing station in the bathroom (not even Starbucks has that!). I had an excellent Mocha and can’t wait to return!
Details on the Drip Coffee (especially for my coffee-​snob lil bro!):

A very nice neighborhood coffee shop. I came here for a few hours for a cup of joe and to do some work. It had a really homey feel to it. The barista was very nice and helpful. She made me feel really welcome.
The internet clocked in at about 6 Mbps, adequate for an online meeting I needed to attend. Great spot, will definitely be back.

We live in the crieve hall area and are always looking for a nearby coffee shop. This weekend we found this one and will definitely be frequenting it! It’s cozy, quiet, great artwork and has live music! This is a hidden gem. I had a peach empanada that was delicious, as well as a specialty espresso with honey and almond milk that was amazing.

This place has one of the best lattes in Nashville. Friendly service, just very slow at times (that’s the only reason I didn’t give five stars). Tons of tables inside. I haven’t had the food but the pastries they get are incredible. The lemon poppyseed muffin, I could eat every day.

Great coffee, great people, great conversation. Always room to work & interesting people visiting. Favorite coffee shop in Nashville.

This could easily be my new fav coffee shop in town! Run by a wonderful, friendly couple, it’s one of those local businesses you instantly want to support the minute you walk in. I had a good latte macchiato while my friend really enjoyed her hazelnut iced coffee. Probably more flavor options than many cafés. They also host social events like storytelling and soon-​to-​start monthly bluegrass jams.

Four stars for their classy cubano 5 stars for the peaceful and cozy café which is large enough for you to really enjoy your time and space!

My coworkers and I buy coffee here everyday. We work a block away. It is always perfect, exactly what we ordered. Yesterday It was my turn to go get the coffee, so I rounded up orders and money. As I headed out I thought its only a block ill just walk and enjoy the fresh air. Well theres a pawnshop between us lol needless to say I got distracted. I had to look at everything and ended up buying an older macbook because they offered a 6 month protection plan lol and a tackle box. So it took a minute. By the time I made it to Flatrock the skies were black. Yikes. So I order the coffee. The young lady taking the orders was very patient and through. While I waited they had music playing. I thought to myself are the lyrics to this song are? «soundcheck we are doing a sound check «. I was spaced out (not having any coffee yet) I chuckled. Then look up and realize the amazing voice was coming from the other side of the coffeshop ! They were amazing, but I had to get back to work so I got our drinks and started to head out, and BAM its pouring rain. Without hesitation the owner insisted on driving me back to work !!! OMG what a lifesaver. I would have had to leave work. She saved the day with amazing coffee and a ride to work. They will be seeing alot of all of us. I definitely would recommend the shop. Im looking forward to trying some food and local beers on my day off. Six thumbs up.

Great chai! Excellent bacon grill cheese sandwich. Even bought lotion, candle, room spray from a local small buz… reluminate. nice lovely owner!

I’m a student in professional school and I get flat rock coffee every day. I love to study there on the weekends. Plenty of room to spread out, great food, great coffee, great tea… It’s just quiet and friendly. Perfect.

Five star service. Four star cappuccino. Three star scone and biscuit (and very affordable). Roomy and airy atmosphere (I was the only customer on a Wed morning). I’ll go back.

Cool spot! Would have given it a five but the treats were limited. I really wanted a muffin but were completely out. Other than that, I had no problems. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was calm.

Great coffee, friendly service, and the menu looks pretty good too! Def worth stopping at if you’re in the area.

Coffee, espresso, tea, and BEER. Not just any beer. It’s from our friends over at Black Abbey Brewery just a couple miles away. This shop is spacious, with a variety of tables, chairs, and bench seating.
As far as coffee goes they have two blends made for them by a roaster in town. A lighter roast, a medium roast, and a bean for espresso. I’m looking forward to them using different ways to brew the coffees and possibly experimenting with single origin beans.
They serve sandwiches and they are solid. They serve vegan/​gluten free desserts that will make you smack your momma. And I’m a meat eater so that that should say something.
This place is not your typical hipster joint with reclaimed wood and vinyl records playing. It’s a nice homey space with simple décor. My favorite thing about the place are the owners and their staff. Friendly as can be with the passion to learn more about coffee and willing to try new things. I think that the coffee will get better as time goes by, but this place is awesome and will continue to be awesome.
