Honest Coffee Roasters - Lea Ave
803 Lea Ave, Nashville, TN
Crema's Take
“Tucked into downtown Nashville, Honest Coffee Roasters cultivates an intentionally calm, minimal atmosphere that feels like a quiet refuge from the city—perfect for settling in with your laptop or a good book. Their espresso-focused menu delivers technically solid drinks like well-executed cortados, though reviewers note the flavor profile leans smooth and approachable rather than bold, paired with genuinely kind service and excellent pastries that keep regulars coming back for morning visits.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Good coffee and cozy place. Got a cortado and it was well done. The espresso also was good, but not fantastic. Service is very good and the place is really nice for reading and chill.
Coffee didn’t have much flavor or depth. The espresso was smooth and light but I couldn’t taste anything else and it was the special drink of the month. The avocado toast was good but needed salt and some kind of oil or more cheese. The acai bowl was good.
