Retrograde Coffee

great third-wave coffee shop in nashvillle, i’ll always stop by when i’m up here. definitely recommend if you are looking for great coffee and if you’re looking for some really creative specialty drinks as well.

Loved the ambience and coffee.
This is a great quick or relaxing getaway for coffee

absolutely awesome place and very tasty coffee. Thank you 🐾

Atmosphere was inviting, clean, and modern. The specialty drinks and pastries looked yummy. However it was clear this is a shop about appearance and fancy drinks, not quality coffee. Talk to the staff for more than 30sec and it’s apparent they are not coffee people, they are restaurant people who happen to work at a coffee shop. I asked one of the owners a very basic question about their Ethiopian coffee, and he didn’t even understand the question. I’d be astonished if the guy brewing my coffee had heard of the apparatus he was using a month ago. Not surprisingly all this ended with a cup that was roasty, flat, and a pretend blueberry note. I came with high hopes of a new third wave coffee shop and left realizing it’s another wave-v2.2. However they will prob do well as their coffee is what most people seem to want: a coffee that is slightly less awful than something like Duncan donuts with the barest hint of a fruit note.

Retrograde is a great little modern coffee shop in East Nashville. They do have a somewhat limited supply of coffee choices, but that's because they've streamlinedd the basics and made them really exceptional. The crowd here is hip, and the atmosphere is casual.

I LOVE Onyx and this is an onyx shop- their beans come from onyx! With that being said I absolutely love Onyx, wait, have I said that I love Onyx?? Three stars because of lack of selection, and they couldn’t do pour overs because they were out of filters. Other than that, cool place.

Great coffee, no doubt. Definitely on the level of the elite coffee shops in Nashville. Design is one of my favorite in town. They also have beer and wine!

The vibe of this new creative space in Cleveland Park clearly will start a trend in the area! The coffee is top-notch, the service is fantastic, and the decor is unique and beautiful! Can’t wait to come back!

Great coffee and usually a good spot to work from. It's gotten pretty busy recently but still a good spot if you get there at a good time!

Great tasting latte's, not bitter at all. Good service. Great vibe. Would like them to add some sugar free syrups
