A limited planning guide
This is not a ranking, a tasting comparison, or a universal scorecard. It identifies four Nashville coffee businesses with official public information and links to the pages each business maintains. The list is not exhaustive.
Verified on September 22, 2026. Hours, menus, accessibility, parking, locations, and closures can change. Confirm the details that matter to your trip through the linked official business pages immediately before you go.
Crema Coffee Roasters
Crema Coffee Roasters lists a downtown Nashville café at 15 Hermitage Ave and an East Nashville takeaway café at 226 Duke St. Its locations page links to each café’s details and menu; use those pages to confirm the location that fits your plans.
Frothy Monkey
Frothy Monkey’s locations page describes the business as an all-day café, specialty coffee roaster, and wholesale bakery. The page lists Nashville locations, including 12South, Downtown Nashville, The Nations, and East Nashville, with location-specific hours. It also directs visitors to the business’s Instagram feed for adjusted hours related to holidays or weather.
Bongo Java
Bongo Java’s history page says the business opened on March 28, 1993. The same account says that Fido and Bongo Java Roasting Co. opened in October 1996. Those are the business’s own historical statements, not a comparative claim about Nashville’s coffee scene. For a prospective visit, use Bongo Java’s official site to find its current visitor information.
Fido
Fido describes itself as an all-day dining café with an organic coffee bar and says it opened in 1996. Its official page lists the café at 1812 21st Ave S in Nashville and provides current menu and hours links. Check that page directly before traveling, particularly if you need a specific meal service or accessibility detail.
Use the official pages as the final check
These entries are starting points for planning, not assurances about what will be available on a particular day. A business’s own location and menu pages are the appropriate place to confirm hours, service format, food and drink offerings, directions, accessibility, parking, and temporary changes.
