Bongo Java East

If you drink your blue milk, you can grow up big and strong like Poe Dameron and fly an x-wing for the resistance!

Seriously though, good beer. Good coffee, hundreds of board games you can play there for free, and tons you can buy as well. Awesome spot.

Covid update - total transformation in customer experience. Well thought out walk up order window and online ordering ahead.

Mural in bathroom is totally amazing.

Had a plain toasted bagel with garden veggie cream cheese. I also had the apple cider chai tea. Both items were very delicious. They have games you can play while there. Nice place.

Cool idea to sell board games in a coffee shop! Definitely a different vibe, in a cool way. A lot of the time nice coffee shops can feel sort of pretentious but these guys weren’t at all. Super rad spot with good coffee and good service 🤙🏼

East Nashville has a lot of coffee options and all are pretty good, but there's something about Bongo East. The bathroom art is killer and parking all around. You'll love the little park next door and the wifi signal is terrific. Parking available all along the street.

I came in hoping to read and relax for the last hour of opening. However, the two females working with shaved heads decided to play very loud rock/metal music as if the were at home. I even asked them to please turn it down-pretty disruptive. The music was turned down a little.
I understand that there were only 4 people in the cafe. However, employees should be mindful of customers.
This has not been my experience other nights. I hope management sees this review and address this with the workers. This is a place of business and while open shouldn’t be treated as an opportunity to blast loud music for the employees to dance and lip sync to. I didn’t come for a concert.

They have lots of games if you want to hang out with friends. Coffee was real bad. I rarely don't finish a cup, but I had to throw it away it tasted so bad. WiFi kept disconnecting, so it made working pretty difficult.

Coffee and Games. Really traditional Coffee House! Casual place to talk, check it out. Didn't try the lunch menu.

The employees were amazing, the food was amazing, and the amount of board games to play was amazing! A very comfortable and safe place for everyone, and we sat there for hours just hanging out. They have a ton of events throughout any given week and it's all clean and organized well.

They have all the games! And coffee and snacks. Even gluten free options. They've got cool game tables and plenty of room to play.
