One of the best coffees I’ve had in a long time, definitely the best I’ve had in the U.S so far. I tried the cold brew and absolutely loved it. Highly recommended!

Not only is this one of my top three coffee shops in Nashville, it's also the most aesthetically pleasing one I've been in. Every detail makes me feel like I'm looking at a place being featured in a magazine. A little note, Dawn is connected to the Bode Hotel. I only happened upon it because I work in the area and took a small walk. What a terrific find and hopefully this message reaches others so they can also find this wonderful place! Dawn Cafe is my home away from home coffee shop (does that make sense?) I can't go that much because I don't work in the area as much but when I can, I do. Things to try: Their entire fall menu is delicious. Personal favorite right now is their pumpkin chai latte. You also can't go wrong with their blueberry muffins, just make sure you ask to have them warmed up . P.S. Let's keep Nashville great by supporting our beautiful shops and restaurants. Good or bad, leave a review so they can know how good they're doing, or what needs to be fixed. That's all!

We were here for an army reunion. Sunday night we were all in the cafe just sharing old stories. Ashley was in charge. And she comes over with a plate of moonshine shots and tells us thank you for our service. She wouldn't accept payment or a tip. It's not very often that veterans get this type of compassion and TRUE appreciation. Her act of kindness touched each and every one of us. I'll never stay anywhere else. Thank you Ashley, this world need more people like you. Thank you and God bless

Very cute cafe, I had a iced oat maple latte and my friend got a caramel latte. We both enjoyed our drinks. Something to note is that this place is cashless so they will only take card.

I’m so glad I found this place. It was stuck in right next to my hotel and as soon as I walked in, I felt such a nice vibe and the staff was super welcoming and inviting and took the time explain their speciality coffee. The decorations transformed me into another world. Everything was placed and tidied up right next to each other, telling a story about Nashville, the history of Nashville and the music of Nashville lots of cassettes lots of music books and lots of mini games. I tried Camp Ivanhoe and Let It Linger. What an incredible mix in these 2! I was hesitant to try at the beginning but why not. Both were incredibly delicious I almost ran back to grab some more. I also tried their chocolate croissant, so good. Thank you for a great time. Highly recommended.

Dawn Cafe is a great place to sit and relax. If it is raining, definitely visit this place, it’ll be a good refuge from the pour and their coffee options will keep you warm! Vanilla latte was so good, it didn’t click to me that I should click a picture to share the review. But had to take it, so I’m sharing one with half cup full!

Cannot say enough about the ambiance here. This is the perfect spot for hanging out with friends, doing some work, or reading a book. Amazingly comfortable and well-spaced seating options inside and outside in the shaded garden courtyard shared with Sidebar. There's even a fire pit for cooler mornings and evenings. The menu is limited but has all the basics you expect to find at a coffee shop.
