The Cafe At Thistle Farms In Tennessee Is A Beautiful Cafe Where You Can Get Great Food And Give Back

Going out for a coffee or a bite to eat is most likely a weekly occurrence in most households, especially when working from home or spending too much time with the family begins to take its toll. In Nashville, you can grab lunch or enjoy a great afternoon cup of joe while giving back to the community at the Cafe at Thistle Farms. The stunningly designed interior of the eatery matches the heart of the locally-owned social enterprise, and it's one place we'd highly recommend adding to your rotation.

Thistle Farms as a larger entity is run by survivors of prostitution, addiction, and trafficking, and the cafe's profits benefit the company's residential program, Magdalene.

The cafe employs those seeking to heal and grow beyond the heartache of the past, and by providing jobs and livable wages many women are given the chance to begin again.

As a visitor, you can help perpetuate continuous healing in Nashville. You come to enjoy a cup of tea, but you end up giving to the greater good of others through the entrepreneurial Thistle Farms.

There is a shop on-site as well if you're looking for homemade soaps and lotions. Candles, body products, and even jewelry are also available for shopping in person or online.

Curious about what's on the menu? You can order a classic breakfast spread complete with buttermilk cheddar grits, eggs, and biscuits, or you can snag some avocado toast to get your day started with some greens.

Lunch is also available for purchase, with a series of salads and sandwiches made with fresh ingredients. We'd recommend the Tuscan kale Caesar salad or maybe the indulgent brie and basil grilled cheese.

You can visit the cafe from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays, and from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday.
