Somali Coffee Shop
1040 Murfreesboro Pike, Nashville, TN
Crema's Take
“Somali Coffee Shop is a no-frills neighborhood gem where expertly pulled espresso drinks come at prices that feel almost impossible—think cappuccinos and lattes under three dollars—served by genuinely friendly staff who know their craft. The atmosphere is refreshingly unpretentious, a real hangout spot where locals linger over strong, properly-tempered coffee and watch the game, though fair warning that the space itself is a bit rough around the edges with the charm of an old-school dive. If you're after specialty espresso drinks without the specialty markup, and you don't mind parking on a side street and hunting for the slightly broken open sign, you've found your spot.”

Nice atmosphere, great place to watch sports, hang out with friends and chat. It's my favorite spot to go when I am in the area.
Very nice people, delicious coffee and food
Sketchy. Old tarp everywhere, random half eaten food on tables from folks who are slinking out of the old hotel when they see people approach. Somebody in the back yelling at the random who walked in and clearly was talking about us in their own language. Also prices are not what they seem
Great hot espresso drinks. Prices cannot be beat. The open sign doesn't work but they are definitely there. Parking is on the side street, but I think you can park at the mosque, I did.
Friendly, knowledgeable, quick service; great tasting, no frills, perfect temp coffee at an inexpensive price. I had both the Cappuccino and the Latte (on different mornings) for just under $3. The shop is between two other businesses with a small sign so it might be easy to miss the first visit, but definitely worth turning around if needed. They offer a variety of savory foods as well that looked good although my tummy wasn't up for trying them first thing in the morning. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.
