Where to Get a Great Cup Of Coffee

If you’re usually pretty content with whatever coffee is handed to you by your hotel, conference, or even big name coffee chain with a mermaid; then this post isn’t for you. (You’ll have no problem finding coffee.)

This post is for the amateur baristas who don’t mind elaborate processes, exact measurements, and feats of strength just to brew a fine cup of joe. Even if you brought your Aeropress (and frankly, why wouldn’t you), this post will help you find the best coffee shops during WordCamp US.

The Well Coffeehouse

Address: 147B 4th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37219

Opens: 7AM (8AM on Saturday)

Website: http://www.wellcoffeehouse.com

Description: Don’t tell anyone, but this was the secret getaway where I stopped for coffee and scone almost every morning. This place has drip or pour over options with regular seasonal bean rotations. The employees were always friendly and it seems like they’re working towards a common good. “The Well” was founded to help people have access to clean drinking water. To that end, they have helped dig over 23 wells all over the world. ❤️

Frothy Monkey

Address: 235 5th Ave N, Nashville, TN

Opens: 7AM

Website: http://www.frothymonkey.com

Description: The Frothy Monkey is a local chain that roasts their own beans. It’s worth checking out if you want a good latte and a delicious brunch. During peak hours expect to wait 15+ minutes in line before placing your order (and be prepared to jump on any table that opens up).

Bonus: Check out their weekly public cupping at their roasting facility every Friday at 2pm. (RSVP recommended.)

Dunn Brothers Coffee

Address: 401 Church St, Nashville, TN 37219

Opens: 6AM (7AM on Saturday)

Website: https://dunnbrothers.com

Description: Dunn Bros. is a locally owned chain from Saint Paul, MN. Their unique on-site roasting allows them to provide the freshest coffee possible. As a result, it’s consistently the best drip coffee I’ve ever had. And their Infinite Black Cold Press is strong and refreshing. Pro-tip: If they say the pistachio muffins just came out of the oven, get two – you won’t regret it.

Description: Don’t have time to go across town for coffee? Bongo Java is directly across the street to the east from the convention center. There are lots of great places to sit if you need to work or grab coffee with a client. Bongo Java roasts their own beans and the baked goods come from their bakery.

Killebrew
