This coffee shop is in a convenient location just off Main Street in downtown Franklin, and is attached to The Harpeth hotel. The coffee is always good, and the service is generally attentive. I have found that the tables could often use to be wiped down, but I think this is in part because they get a relatively large number of transient customers from the hotel. Overall a good spot to get a coffee and relax for a bit. Also a good location to work from.

We live near downtown Franklin and this is one of our favorite breakfast spots. The food is always great and the coffee is delicious. I always get the Harpeth breakfast. It hits the spot and the toast and jam are fantastic. We love sitting outside on nice days but today was rainy so we were inside. Their inside holiday decorations were beautiful so it was a lovely breakfast view.

This is the restaurant located inside The Harpeth. The servers are very efficient and friendly. Ambience- rustic charm. Ordered breakfast food - omelette, pastries, all delicious!

They had live music (not sure if it was because of the holiday season or if this is normal). The food was amazing especially the pot belly and grits. The baristas were pleasant. I will definitely come back again. We also got their seasonal spiced latte (both iced and hot), very delicious. So good, I wanted another one!

Full disclosure - we literally just stopped in to get some coffee so I have no feedback on food or dine in experience. However I found the counter experience to be very good. Order was taken and clarified by our barista, and prepared just like we asked.The fun part was that during the holidays, this is decorated full out! Many ELF references and just being there spreads cheer! Prices are in line with Franklin businesses. A very fun stop if you're downtown or want to meet a friend for some Holiday catching up.

As a long-time resident, this was a meeting place for me and a friend bc i had never been to the hotel... I thought we would be dining in the upscale restaurant 1799 for lunch, but i was informed it didn't open till 5pm... It was 11am, so i was directed to the little coffee shop I didn't know existed... It had limited seating inside, but some additional seating outside.The young employees were very friendly, but the older lady who appeared to be in charge, seemed very put off by me... She acted like she was offended when i asked about an entree on the menu and like she didn't understand what I was saying... The young clerk must've gathered her response didn't go over very well with me, so she responded quickly... She pointed out she knew exactly what I was asking and politely answered my question... I had asked a simple question, and i just expected a simple answer... The other lady (whom i was told was in a mngt position) stared me in the face, and gave me the impression she was offended I had any question at all... If it werent for the nice comments, big smiles, and eagerness to please customers, that the younger employees exhibit, I would not return.. I even overheard the "manager" speaking roughly to the younger employees, which completely irritated me... She was RUDE... A patron would expect to be treated graciously by all employees, especially those in management positions, at this establishment... The hotel in its entirety should want to uphold a good reputation, because it's the main hotel in downtown Franklin... Not only should it attract tourists, but it should also attract the local citizens in the area... I will be voicing my complaint, and I will go again, mainly to see if changes are made in the hospitality department... If so, i will frequent often with family and friends... If things don't change, there are plenty of places elsewhere that do welcome my patronage in the area. The food is attractive, in appearance and in description... It's a little different than you get at most places... So, I'm looking forward to trying most things on the menu... I'm looking forward to suggesting it to others... I just hope future visits are pleasurable experiences!I ordered a "house special".... The Avocado Toast was pretty good, would've been better if the bread hadn't been somewhat burned... I also odered the Fresh-cut Fries as a side, served with Smoked Tomato Jam... It was a big portion and the Jam was delicious!

I came here on a whim and ended up having some the best food in downtown Franklin. The shop is super cute and nice and the outside area is lovely. I was served by several baristas, Jessica, Izzy, and Alyssa, who were super sweet. They were very attentive and helped me find a drink that would fit my preferences. I ended up trying the mango iced tea with extra sweetener. I also got some awesome food including steak and eggs, chicken club, biscuits and gravy. The mimosas also change frequently but I really enjoyed some of them. Absolutely recommend.

Love this place. They've got great coffee, a fun and spacious area to hang, and the corizo bowl is delicious. Underrated spot right downtown Franklin

My husband and I wanted to try and new place for lunch so we headed here. It's super cute on the inside and has a great patio on the outside. The baristas and servers were super friendly and helpful. One recommended the Cuban so I got it iced because it was a million degrees out. HOLY COW! Best Cuban I've ever had. So so good. Will definitely be ordering it again. My husband said his Patty Melt was super good. It was greasy but not the kind that makes you feel bad after you eat it. The perfect greasy He said they put some sort of sauce on it that's super yummy. I had the Harpeth Breakfast. It was ok. Literally the only reason I'm not giving five stars because we loved everything about this place. I plan to come back and try something else to eat and update my review then (most likely to five stars!)Here's the thing: the food is more expensive then some other places but that's also because it's in a hotel. Although my coffee was cheaper than some other coffee shops we've been to so you have to decide how you feel about that.... All in all 9/10. Would recommend!!!!

The omelette was good. The grits were very good. Generally, I am NOT a grits fan of anyone's but mine, but they were the first restaurant that actually made great grits. However, it was pricey for Eggs and grits. Now, here is where I had a problem.....this is not a restaurant where you are served by a waitress. You order your food and walk up to the counter to pick it up when it is ready. What I dislike is when you pay (by credit card at least) the system runs you through suggested tip amounts and a 'custom' tip field. The suggested tips are as if you were given service (10, 15, 20 percent). Grudgingly, I gave a 'custom' tip of $2. It made me feel like I was being 'shamed' into a tip. The 2nd morning I left no tip and I was wondering if my omelette order was taking a while because I did NOT leave a tip. I came down from my room to pick up breakfast and bring it back to my room to eat. I am not cheap by anyone's standard...I rarely, if ever tip below 25% and in many instances 30 %. Not only am I not cheap, but I have quite a net worth.....I just am judicious with what I work hard for and don't needlessly throw it around. So, that's my only gripe. For me, probably not for all (or the majority), I walked away with not the greatest feel about the restaurant for that reason alone.
