Nashville was recently rated the 13th best coffee city in the country by Travel + Leisure Magazine, just edging out New York City. This should come as no surprise to the city’s caffeine-dependent visitors and residents: you could devote weeks to exploring Nashville’s coffee scene and still only skim the surface.

J&J’s Market & Cafe

Nestled in the heart of Nashville’s bustling Midtown neighborhood, this coffee shop is something of a hidden gem in contrast to the city’s more well known coffee shops and cafes. Furnished with mismatched armchairs and serving drinks with names like ‘Studying Nietzsche,’ J & J’s Market is unique even in a town saturated with coffee shops.
