Dose Café & Dram Bar
1400 Mcgavock Pike, Nashville, TN
Crema's Take
“This spacious East Nashville neighborhood gem strikes an impressive balance between serious coffee craft and full-service café culture, with a large, airy layout that welcomes everyone from solo laptop workers to groups gathering at high-top counters and window-facing bars. Their signature drinks like the Barcelona iced coffee showcase creative touches like salted whipped cream, while the kitchen turns out exceptionally inventive food—think perfectly balanced combinations like curried chickpea salads and elevated avocado toast alongside solid vegan options. The consistently warm, helpful staff and reputation for never disappointing keep regulars coming back, though fair warning: their beans lean into that bright, slightly tart profile that's either exactly your thing or not.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Cute spot with a clean, airy vibe. The salted whipped cream they put in some of their drinks like the Barcelona iced coffee was so. Good. We tried the turkey pesto sandwich and the curried chickpea sandwich. The bread tasted fresh and both sandwiches were delicious. Their signs…
The overall experience was good but the food was exceptional. Creative and perfectly balanced combinations. They have a coconut chocolate scone that was really good but for me the Avocado toast was awesome. Best I’ve ever had. We had a veggie bagel as well and it was great. I…
