Retrograde Coffee

We visited Nashville for a family trip. These can be wild as wrangling so many people together is a job itself.Then, we found Retrograde!Suddenly getting up that week was a treat since we stopped by here and started our day with their amazing brew. The staff is friendly and helped us find our favorite drinks. The atmosphere is very chill and perfect for studying or visiting with friends. I highly recommend the Shagbark Latte. Perfectly sweet but not too sweet, this iced coffee is one of my favorites of all time. Be sure to get a bagel with cream cheese, or better yet, egg and cheese. Satisfying, fresh and filling- you will not regret this one!Thank you Retrograde East Nashville, we appreciate your hospitality!

Delicious bagel but definitely pretty expensive for the size! Parking in the back was free but there are limited spots.

My lavender latte was great. My partner got a vanilla latte and you couldn't even taste the vanilla. We also got bagel sandwiches. They were okay for the price, our drinks came out about 5+ minutes after our drinks and they were not bust at all. The sandwiches are microwaved. Over all it was okay and walking distance but nothing amazing

Retrograde Coffee is one of my new Nashville coffee favorites. Not only do they have fantastic coffee, but they also make various coffee syrups from scratch. The team at Retrograde is always so friendly! The space is great for working, as it's never too crowded or noisy. They also have a fantastic food menu. Their homemade sourdough bagels offer enough reason to visit this coffee shop! Be sure to stop by and check out their unique coffees and menu offerings.

Beautiful space, sweet baristas, wonderful coffee. Has a cute little side porch and greenery from the trees is refreshing

Great atmosphere, love the design and music (every time I'm in there the music is a vibe. Yes, different people are probably in charge of it on different days, I don't know how to explain it--likely magic). Great bagels, love the Selena sandwich. They have gf bread.A couple tall bars for solo folks to sit and work, as well as two and four tops.Parking in front and around back.Highly recommend!

Got the BEC breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel and an iced coffee. Both were good, especially the bagel. Definitely one the softest and freshest bagels I've had. While the sandwich is good, there could be room for improvement.The sandwich didn't have any mayo or aoli and at times tasted a bit dry. Using fresh bacon would likely mitigate this issue if you didn't want to offer a condiment; however, the bacon used was pre-cooked microwaveable bacon. If they fixed these two things, it would be exponentially better.

Very chill atmosphere and nice music. Very kind baristas. Delicious chai and really good iced coffee. The cookies are amazing!

Atmosphere and service was pleasant, but the food was awful. Like, truly, the worst breakfast sandwich I have every encountered. I got an everything bagel with sausage and egg and they essentially just threw everything in the microwave. The sausage tasted like a flavorless piece of rubber. The egg wasn't fresh. The bagel was kind of stale. Idk how you mess up a breakfast sandwich that bad, but I'm still salty about it almost a week later.
