Crema's Take
“This Nashville espresso bar draws serious coffee enthusiasts with its meticulously crafted cortados and pour-overs, backed by baristas who can talk you through their craft with genuine confidence. The space itself is a major draw—flooded with natural light and styled for lingering, whether you're meeting a friend for a long catch-up or settling in with a laptop (though fair warning: the WiFi struggles for heavy development work). Pair your coffee with their exceptional French pastries like the Kouign-Amann, accept that quality here comes at a premium, and you've found the kind of place that makes a coffee trip feel intentional rather than routine.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

I stopped in town to visit a friend of mine meeting up for coffee here and it was a wonderful experience. Its a very relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where you can sit and enjoy yourselves to catch up or if you are by yourself needing a place to work quietly and enjoy a good cup…

Such a great vibe! All of the baristas are super nice and helpful, and they answered any and all questions with confidence and clarity. The latte I got had great artwork from the barista with long blonde hair! They were playing chill music and I had a great time sitting and…
Sump Coffee in Nashville is a must-visit! ✨ The cortado is hands-down the best in town—rich, smooth, and perfect. ☕️ The croissants are also amazing, flaky, and go great with the coffee. 🥐 The staff is super friendly, and the whole place has a great vibe. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
