Barista Parlor x Germantown

Whatever you think of the coffee (I think it is great) or the service (I find it moody and aloof), I must give five stars for the new pastries. Yesterday, I had their new croissant. It was every bit equal to the best I've had in France and Denmark. To live for! Now that I've given five stars to the pastry, let me comment on the service. Having baristas deal with customers is like dragging software programmers out from under their rocks and expecting them to do tech support. It is a mess. So, lower your service expectations, and focus on the pastry. Did I mention it is to live for?

Follow-up: Okay, not everyone there is "moody and aloof" (as recent visits prove).

Hip feel and unique brew method. Cool retro logo and very good coffee! Enjoyed the chocolate-y Golden Sound in pour-over. Nashville prices but well worth it for the coffee quality.

Great selection of coffee and teas, their chai is delicious. This is a place to sit and enjoy, bring a friend and have a conversation, or a book. They take time to brew quality beverages.

My friend and I stopped in here for a coffee treat. We were a bit skeptical, afraid it was going to be another overpriced coffee place. I'm so happy to say we were pleasantly surprised!!!! This is hands down the tastiest coffee I have ever had. It's clear the baristas take the brewing process very seriously to yield the highest flavor thresholds. The iced coffee my friend had was DELICIOUS without anything added. Same for my pour over. This is not coffee you feel the need to doctor. We also picked up a chocolate croissant which blew our minds. If you haven't been here, go! The ambiance alone is so warm and inviting. Great place for small meetings or just a nice treat!

My favorite Barista Parlor in Nashville. I hate telling others because there has been plenty of space for meetings and individual work. Plenty of outlets for computer work around the walls. Great coffee, recommend the biscuit, eggs, bacon, and cheese. Lots of natural light and have always found a place to park behind the building.
