This Tiny Coffee Shop In Nashville Was Named One Of The Best In The Nation
Nashville is bursting with amazing coffee shops and dining experiences, but there can only be one caffeinated hot spot that takes the crown. This year, Food & Wine did an exhaustive search across each state in the nation, calling out the “best coffee shop” found in every state. Here in Tennessee, local favorite Crema came up on top. This stalwart Nashville coffee shop has long proven its dedication to the community, both in its integrity as a roaster and with sweet southern hospitality. Take a look!

Crema operates as an artisanal coffee house and roaster in Nashville's aptly named, "SoBro" neighborhood. Located just south of Broadway, per its quirky neighborhood moniker, it's become a haven for locals and tourists alike.
Its location may be one of its preeminent qualities, though there are many. Located within walking distance to downtown and on Hermitage Avenue, a main artery of the city, it's easy to stop off on the way to work.
Both coffee and pastry options are available for purchase. Beautifully designed paper menus are passed down the line of folks waiting for their mochas or simple cups of coffee, black. The avocado toast is a fan favorite, as are the dense and delicious blueberry muffins provided by Dozen Bakery.
After undergoing an interior overhaul a few years ago, Crema has firmly indulged itself in the minimalistic yet cheerful vibe that's been made popular by coffee shops across the nation. The space is meant to spark conversation and community, so keep in mind that there are no outlets for computers.
This self-made, highly successful local business has come a long way from its initial inception in 2007. Owners Rachel and Ben outline their initial investment and the company's harder early years on Crema's official website, providing a refreshing look at a Nashville borne business built with passion from the ground up.
Crema sources their coffee from farmers known to the company, relationally sourcing every bean that makes its way to your cup of quality Joe in Nashville. You can visit and experience Crema, the best coffee shop in Nashville, for yourself at 15 Hermitage Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee.
