As vegetarians in a meat-centric town, we were THRILLED to find Hearts for breakfast/brunch!! The food was incredibly flavorful and Stephanie was a delightful server. We enjoyed the Brunch Bowl, the Bircher Muesli and the Twice Cooked French Toast. Each was more delicious than the last! We left full and happy!
We had a delicious brunch at Hearts on our trip to Nashville. I was particularly interested in a spot to find healthy breakfast food, and Hearts delivered. I had the Corn + Zucchini Fritters with bacon, avocado, dill goat cheese, poached egg, and chimichurri. It was utterly delicious. My husband had Eggs Benny with hashbrown, ham, poached eggs, hollandaise, pickled onion, and rocket which he also loved. While the food was delicious, the service could have been a bit more attentive. After our server took our order, we didn't see her again until we flagged her down for the check once we were finished. They unfortunately didn't serve decaf coffee, so we had to go to a separate coffee spot afterward to fix my craving, and the chairs were so narrow that neither of us felt relaxed or comfortable while dining which also kind of sucked. Overall, it's a great laid back place to grab brunch, and we were both glad we stopped in.
I had a lovely morning at Hearts! The lavender latte was perfectly balanced—floral, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. The breakfast burrito hit the spot and left me full and happy. I was greeted with a warm smile at the door and felt genuinely welcomed. Service was fast, friendly, and thoughtful. Can’t wait to come back!
I think this place has great potential but for most of our group it was only pretty good just not for the price. Food: The only items we ordered that got glowing reviews were the matcha latte and The Godmother. The food overall was good because it’s lighter compared to the standard Nashville breakfast foods, but the prices leaned high for the taste and portions. Also, the poached eggs in the Egg Benny were almost hard and not runny at all. Service: The staff were nice and attentive! Atmosphere: The spot feels like it was built to be a peaceful and casual coffee shop you could hang at for hours doing work, but since it’s so popular it ends up feeling overwhelming on the weekend day we went.
What a cool find in East Nashville. The online pics of the colorful, healthy & unique menu options is what brought me in. The food was as delicious as it looked! I was blown away at the amazing flavors and textures of the Corn Fritter meal I ordered. The vibe was so warm, open, inviting. Lots beautiful plants and natural light from the front windows. The back opened up into a surprisingly large & thoughtful outside seating area. The outside area had various picnic tables, with umbrellas and shades,very neat gravel ground. Spacious & dog friendly! The staff was so very attentive, I was seated promptly and checked onIby each server that passed by, ensuring all was good. Warm & excellent experience. I definitely will be back to try all the menu items & bring my pups and friends to enjoy as well.
