Nashville’s Best Coffeehouse

Frothy Monkey wins Best Coffeehouse after 20 years!

Frothy Monkey is celebrating 20 years in Music City in 2024 and another “Best Coffeehouse” title from the readers of the Nashville Scene. The original location has been on 12South since 2004 and is Nashville’s favorite all day cafe. Frothy has expanded to Nashville’s beloved neighborhoods like Downtown, East Nashville, and The Nations. The independently owned restaurants maintain a cozy, local flair in their hospitality, and community influence.

Thank you, Nashville!

“Winning this designation means the world to us. The coffee community in Nashville is extensive and very diverse.”, says Jenn Sheets, Partner and Director of Marketing, “To still be recognized as Nashville’s best coffeehouse is a huge accomplishment. We’re proud to be such an important part of our communities and to provide a place where everyone feels at home.”

Frothy’s All Day Offerings

Frothy’s most popular coffee offerings are their Signature and Seasonal Drinks. Their Signature Drink menu rarely changes due to the drink’s popularity and unique flavors. The signature “Havana Latte” was used in a collaboration with Goo Goo Cluster to celebrate the cafe’s 20th year. Frothy’s seasonal drinks rotate bi-annually and they are determined through their in-house drink competitions. Alongside unique drinks, the cafe offers specialty grade coffee for standards like cortados, cappuccinos, cold brew and hand-brewed coffee.  

While Frothy Monkey is now a full-service restaurant, they still embrace the relaxed and inclusive environment of a coffeehouse. They offer full service for all seated guests and counter service for folks looking for to-go coffee or food. Coffee is available all day at Frothy as well as entrees for any meal. Breakfast through dinner, you can also enjoy a variety of beer, wine and cocktails.

Operating Partner Ryan Pruitt says, “The neighborhoods have changed over 20 years, but the people are just as supportive and unique as ever. We’re grateful to be growing alongside the neighbors and families who have made Frothy a part of their lives. Thank you Nashville!”
