Crema's Take

Frothy Monkey is a beloved Nashville spot where the real magic happens when you settle in with a coffee and something to eat—their breakfast sandwiches like the Capri have serious staying power, and the house-made pastries pair beautifully with thoughtfully crafted drinks like their Havana coffee or slightly-sweet matcha lattes. The outdoor seating in this charming neighborhood feels made for lingering, whether you're catching up with friends or working through the morning, and the warm, unhurried vibe makes it just as much about the experience as the espresso.

The food was very delicious and feels like a healthy choice. the matcha Latte was a little bit on the sweet side. Service was great, just took a long wait to get the food, but we enjoyed the sitting and the flavors so it's definitely worth it.

Visited Frothy Monkey in Nashville recently and overall had an okay experience. The outdoor seating and ambiance were definitely the highlights — relaxing, welcoming, and a great spot to sit and chat. We tried a couple of their drinks, including the Irish Coffee and the Monkey Mocha, but unfortunately neither really impressed me. Both tasted a bit underwhelming and felt like they could’ve been much better given the reputation of the place. They do offer a full food menu, which is nice, but since we didn’t try the food I can’t comment on that part. Great atmosphere, average drinks — worth a visit for the vibe, but I’m hoping the beverages improve next time.

I stopped in for the first time Saturday morning and I will be back for sure! The Capri sandwich was phenomenal and the Havana coffee was perfect. When I eat at a restaurant, I value the service and hospitality I receive and let me say, Kaya and Kristen went above and beyond. Kaya was so helpful when I was looking over the menu and answered any questions I had. Kristen was very knowledgeable when it came to the coffee’s and I am so glad I went with her recommendation. Everyone in the restaurant had smiling faces which was so refreshing to see! I will recommend this place to all of my friends!

If their eggs were fresh and made to order, their sandwiches have that southern comfort. If their coffee is delicious, their cocktails and drinks are worth having. If their blood Mary was so good, their espresso martini was wonderful. Their veggie grazing board had farm fresh veggies and some of the best tasting dips and jams. The salmon sandwich was a very well crafted item and I loved their everything bagel that was crisply toasted and accompanied with cream cheese. And you haven’t finished their southern experience if you don’t taste their biscuits with fresh butter and jam preserve. Our waitress was warm, friendly and also helped us with their veggie choice options.

I loved the food and the service! Everything tasted amazing but I was also very hungry so I am not if that’s the reason of everything being so good 😅 It’s in a cute little neighbourhood. Can walk around and buy a lot of souvenirs! I recommend it highly, specially if this is the first time you are coming to Nashville.
