Crest Coffee House

1601 Martin St, Nashville, TN

Crema's Take

Tucked away in Nashville, this donation-based coffee house has cultivated a genuinely peaceful sanctuary where specialty lattes and creative drinks take a backseat to something deeper—a prayer wall, praise wall, and community ministry that give the space real soul. Baristas here are known for their warmth and skill with both traditional coffee and inventive alternatives, but regulars keep coming back for the calm, welcoming atmosphere that's equally suited for focused work sessions, quiet reflection, or simply slowing down.

This little coffee shop is a hidden place of peace. It is donation based with all funds going towards the ministry it provides. The prayer wall is wonderful and there is even a praise wall. The artwork on display is from college students and it is amazing, their credentials listed by each piece. A cozy little spot to drink coffee and find some peace from the daily chaos is what Crest provides.

I love this coffee shop! The coffee is great, with lots of specialty latte options and several alternative milks. The baristas are very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. I love the art on the walls from local artists and the adorable plants for sale in vases. The wall for prayer requests is also great.

This coffee shop is an absolute hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a calm, quiet atmosphere that’s perfect for reading, studying, or just unwinding. What truly sets this place apart is their incredible drink menu — both the everyday creations and the seasonal specials are bursting with flavor and creativity. You can tell the baristas put real heart into every cup. And the best part? It’s completely donation-based — you simply pay what you can or feel the experience is worth. That kind of community-first approach is rare and deeply appreciated. It’s more than just a coffee shop; it’s a space that invites kindness, comfort, and connection. Highly recommend!

This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE coffee shop of all time. It is donation-based which makes spending $5 on coffee feel a little better but all of the specialty drinks are so good and not overly sweet. I also love their matcha. There are plenty of outlets throughout the shop and clean restrooms, so it is perfect for studying.
