The food was fantastic. The wait to get a table can be awful though. I guess that's what happens when you're the only real great breakfast spot in that area.

This place is great! Amazing pastries and delicious comfort food! The Sausage Benny absolutely slams and the cold brew is strong. Super bright and welcoming inside and luckily isn't victim to some of the pretentiousness in the area (in my opinion). Definitely will be back.

There's a reason they always have a line! The coffee, service and food were delicious. Biggest shoutouts to the specialty croissant (strawberries and crème) and the snickerdoodle latte. If you go, make sure you're not in a rush because they don't take reservations - but you can always do a to go order at the counter which is super quick and just as delish!

The food was so good and the service was great. Amazing croissants that I still think about. It's pricier than I'm used to for breakfast but I'd go back.

This place is a jewel of Nashville dining, with a great menu. Every item has complex but phenomenal flavors that keep you coming back for more. It's the kind of place you look forward to every time you visit the area. I have discovered that after a lifetime of making and eating grits, I've been doing it wrong every time, and now I've learned the correct way!

Food, service and ambiance. Our server David did an outstanding job taking care of us. This was our first visit and he made us feel like regulars. The food is very good and plentiful. Make sure to bring home some of the house specialty croissants. This will not be our last time here. Oh and they have free parking, a plus.

Amazing is the first word that comes to mind. This place had a hour and a half wait but I was able to sit at the bar so it worked out. Waitress wasn't friendly or help full but the food made up for her attitude. Go check this place out but be prepared to wait.

Absolutely outstanding on all points. The wait is worth it. The area is a nice distraction anyway for a nice walk to work up an appetite and by the time you experience the service, you will get over it. By the time you eat and drink, you will be appreciative of the experience. It's clear that everyone employed at this establishment cares about what they are putting on the table in front of you. You can watch the kitchen crew do what they do while you eat! Also, be considerate of other customers who are waiting on the table and the service teams who are trying to maximize the opportunities for tips! Eat and get out of there!

The best brunch in Nashville, and the prettiest location. The wait can be long, so I'd recommend putting your name in early and then walking around 12 south. Eggs benedict and beignets are always a must. Worth all the hype.

French omelettes cooked to perfection! Fresh squeezed orange juice! Great service and nice ambiance. We also had pancakes and grits. All the food was exceptionally good. The biscuits were good, but not what I expected. They were flakey and layered, not the traditional buttermilk biscuits.
This is a MUST. This place had amazing food. Make sure you get on the waitlist before just showing up, because everyone is in line for how amazing this food was. The drinks were all great. The brown butter beignets were the hit of the table.

This was our first time at this restaurant and expectations were EXCEEDED! A must-get is the almond croissant! Definitely one of the best I have had! I got the Fried Chicken Caesar Salad and loved the little bit of kick! Really stepped it up from a basic Caesar. Our server, David, was AWESOME! He gave us tons of recos and didn't lead us astray AT ALL! Definitely a spot you need to stop at for brunch if you are in town! 10/10 recommend!

David - the croissant connoisseur. David guided us through the journey of our brunch. With incredible insight and experience, he broke down each dish with intimate detail. Ultimately we accepted the wisdom and carried forth with egg-based dishes, grits, and of course, croissants.

We went here for breakfast on a weekend and yes they are very popular and busy. and yes the food is delicious. fresh squeezed orange juice. they are well known for the bakery and fresh pastries. did not try but they looked amazing. Very nice and helpful staff overall as well. I enjoyed eveyrthing we ordered on our visit here. the classic buttermilk road breakfast. eggs amazing, bacon also amazing. I would love to come back here again in the future when we visit Nashville again. Worth the hype!

Do I love this place? Yes. Will I recommend it to everyone I know? Also yes. The line is long but the wait is worth it. Everything we had was beyond delicious. Our servers were so sweet and the bakery workers were also friendly.
