Eighth & Roast

Nashville, Tennessee

Photo: Daniel Greenberg

A no-nonsense roaster-cafe in Berry Hill with some of the most consistent espresso in Nashville. The space is modern and unfussy — concrete, wood, good light — and the baristas pull shots with quiet precision. They roast their own beans on-site, and you can taste the difference. This is where Nashville's coffee people come on their days off.

Insider tip

The house espresso as a macchiato. Simple, perfect, and proof that great coffee doesn't need to be complicated.

Prince's Hot Chicken Shack

The place that started it all. Prince's has been serving Nashville hot chicken since the 1940s, and everything else in town is a footnote. The heat levels are real — medium here would be extra-hot anywhere else. The room is no-frills, the wait can be long, and none of that matters once you bite in. This is ground zero.

Audrey

Sean Brock's love letter to Southern Appalachian cooking, served in a converted house with a garden out back that supplies half the menu. This isn't nostalgia food — it's painstaking research into heirloom ingredients and forgotten techniques, plated with a precision that makes every course feel like a thesis defense. The tasting menu is the move.

The Hermitage Hotel

The Hermitage Hotel

Nashville's only Beaux-Arts hotel, open since 1910 and still the most elegant room in the city. The lobby ceiling alone is worth a visit — barrel-vaulted stained glass that makes you stand a little straighter. The rooms have been updated without losing the gravitas. The men's restroom downstairs won an award. No, really.

CoffeeDivision · Portland, Oregon

Stumptown Coffee Roasters

The roastery that launched Portland's third-wave coffee obsession and never stopped pushing. The Division Street location is where the magic happens — beans roasted on-site, baristas who can explain terroir like sommeliers, and a stripped-back space that lets the coffee do all the talking. Twenty-plus years in, Stumptown still sets the bar.

CoffeeRiNo · Denver, Colorado

Huckleberry Roasters

Denver's most consistent third-wave roaster, operating out of a sun-flooded RiNo space that doubles as the roasting facility. You can smell the beans as they turn. The espresso program is dialed tight, the pour-overs are patient and precise, and the whole operation radiates the kind of earnest quality that makes you root for them.
