Nevertheless, they hope that you will enjoy their cozy little slice of West Nashville as much as they do. From the original 1800’s signage painted on their brick wall to their spacious back deck and patio area, they are glad to be your Headquarters for a quick pick-me-up on the run, a long lazy chat with old friends, or anything in between.

Facebook: Eight and Roast
It all started when childhood friends Ed and Q began meeting at a little coffee shop named 8th And Roast. As they laid plans to build their dream restaurant, the coffee shop became their unofficial headquarters. Coming from a hospitality background, they realized a coffee shop is always more than just a coffee shop. At its best, it’s a third home, a place to feel welcomed, connected, and part of a larger community.

8Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee

Facebook: Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee
Before the Rwandan Civil War in 1994, coffee was a big thing, but after years of fighting and genocide, the industry – and trust between neighboring farmers – collapsed. To help create employment opportunities and bring people together, founder, Jonathan Golden, built the first LTH coffee washing station in the Ruli farming region. He also bought a 12lb primo roaster and hired a consultant to teach him how to roast beans, thinking that if this idea did not work, he would at least have coffee to give as gifts for the next 20 years. Lucky for him, and Nashville, it worked!

The popular Hillsboro Village café opened in 1996 as a coffee-roasting cafe with an emphasis totally on coffee. In 2000, the coffee roasting moved to East Nashville and food slowly became the focus.
