The Best Places in Nashville – Coffee Shop and Cocktail Bar Review: Cafe Babu

So you saw a buzzy spot on Instagram and want to know if it’s really worth visiting? Here’s the inside scoop from a local on Nashville hotspot, Cafe Babu (Nashville – Coffee Shop and Cocktail Bar Review: Cafe Babu)

Nashville – Coffee Shop and Cocktail Bar Review: Cafe Babu

Nashville has no shortage of coffee shops OR cocktail bars. But, this cozy coffee and cocktail combo is all the rage in Nashville right now, and for good reason!

Designed in a Mediterranean style with rustic walls, Cafe Babu is anything but rustic. From the moment you walk in, the space is welcoming and warm, intentionally designed for conversation and community.

By day, they serve coffee and pastries. At night, you can find wine and cocktails with a small food menu (do NOT skip the whipped feta!).

The space is small, so during peak times, you may have a wait. Early in the week, you may find some people working; however, the vibe is much more conducive to a chill meet up with friends or a cozy date. And as the whether gets warmer, I know that patio is going to be the place to be.

Parking is street parking and fairly ample within a block or so walking distance.

Be sure to follow Cafe Babu on Instagram for their special events and other announcements. They’re always doing something fun (at time of publication, they have a daytime house party coming up!)
