Retrograde Coffee
2714 Clifton Ave, Nashville, TN
Crema's Take
“Retrograde Coffee is a corner gem where the team genuinely seems to thrive—reviewers consistently praise the manager's visible passion and old-school coffee shop warmth that makes you want to linger. Beyond their expertly crafted specialty drinks (that matcha latte keeps people coming back weekly), they've thoughtfully solved the Nashville coffee shop problem with easy parking and a comfortable, work-friendly space that feels more like a beloved local refuge than a chain.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi. Parking available.
