Elegy Coffee

Got coffee first take away a few times in visit here. There is an outdoor and indoor place to order. It’s right along a main road in east Nashville.
The latte was good. Ice coffee was excellent. They only do one size hot coffee which was a bit weird. Pricing is on par with trending coffee shops. No indoor seating. I think the iced coffee was around 5.50 and the latte 6.
I would return here

The best coffee shop in Nashville! The black & white is my absolute favorite but you can’t go wrong with a honey bear. The crew is so nice and they’re all super friendly, plus they give great recommendations when I want to switch it up or try something new. Cannot recommend them enough and so stoked for their Germantown location to open!!! 🍯🐻💕

I wanted to really like this place. It had such good reviews online and came with great recommendations. However, what I had was not really... Worth driving 20 minutes to get to. I had the miso caramel latte and it tasted like coffee that had been left in a car to mold and then was iced. I tried my best to drink it because I normally love coffee and I love miso, but the combination of the two was just a terrible concoction in my mouth. I spent $6.50 for 16 oz iced coffee that wasn't good. Then I spent another $6 on a stale chocolate croissant. For $6, I expect a croissant to be fresh. The actual outdoor area was okay, dog friendly. However, the chairs were extremely tiny and uncomfortable.

Overall I expected better.

I’m torn about a rating for Elegy. I’ve been going since their opening during the pandemic.

I have to start my saying their products are fantastic. The honey bear is a wonderful and smooth latte while the breakfast burrito tastes is a unique and delicious take on the classic.

Now why the 3 star? Well… the prices. When it opened, the prices were affordable but on the higher end of what you can reasonably charge for Nashville. A honey best latte is currently $8.50 and a burrito is now $14. With tax and an implied 20% tip that rounds out to $28 for a single person for a single breakfast. That is absurd. Those are LA prices.

The cold honey bear lattes are made in large batches and poured out of a container upon ordering. I’m honestly unsure if the burritos are pre made or fresh to order. This batch process allows for cost saving on behalf of Elegy, but that is not passed on to the consumer.

Sadly, for me, this coffee shop has gone from multi day per week visit to a place I simply do not go to at all.

In the great push to support local coffee shops over national chains, Elegy has actually managed pushed me away.

Pretty good food and coffee but damn sure not worth the prices they charge. I spent less on coffee and breakfast burritos in Manhattan.

$9 for a coffee and $13 for a burrito before tax and tip is expensive for an airport, much less an actual coffee shop.

Don't get me wrong, the stuff is good, just not $25 breakfast good.

Coffee was good, but spent over 9$ on a small vanilla latte….so not worth the money. Location is HORRIBLE they do validate parking… I think, but parking was an absolute MESS almost got rear ended slowly backing out. Between blind spots, people FLYING down the back alley and paying for it, I spent a good 10min on parking alone. Sadly I couldn’t hear the employee when he told me the wifi password, it wasn’t posted…and the outside seating area had not just the noise of the road but a load speaker for the food truck nextdoor. Employees were SUPER nice but with the location and atmosphere there was NO WAY for me to sit comfortably and get work done while ordering food and drinks.

Great esthetic and seasonal selections. I tried the iced garden party and my gal got the honey bear cold brew. Also great background music (90s Whitney Houston) Would go again!

Very well crafted latte's. Both the seasonal were tasty, but the miso caramel is undoubtedly the highlight. Such a unique and well executed concept with bold but balanced flavors.

The blackberry/mint/rosemary was also very flavorful as each component made an appearance, but overall, it was a bit too sweet which made it hard to finish.

Barista's were friendly and gave good recommendations on other places to visit.

Best breakfast burrito in town! The honey bear cold brew is delish.

We came into town from CA and needed to find good coffee ASAP, and we did!!

Got an oat milk latte with an extra shot (four total!!) and it was incredible. And normally it’s pretty hard to make a latte stand out from other coffee shops, but the espresso had an unbelievable flavor - it was really unique and delicious!!
