Holidays bring out the best in everyone, including our local businesses. Several local coffee shops are spreading the love around this holiday season:
A CREMA Christmas
From November 17 through December 12, CREMA is hosting an art show to benefit Safe Haven Family Shelter. Local artists Thomas Petillo, Janet K. Lee, Stacy Berry and Aaron Grayum are [...]

More Reasons To Vote: Free Treats All Over [Freebies]

If you need a better reason to vote than letting your voice be heard, maybe Ben & Jerry’s can change your mind. They’re offering voters a free scoop of ice cream today from 5pm-8pm. We already voted, but early voting counts! 
Free ice cream in November a little too… chilly? How about a nice, warm, patriotic [...]

You Tell Us: What’s Your Favorite Warm, Winter Drink In Town?

The past week has finally moved us into temperatures that call for turning the heat on at night (but not if you live in the Nashvillest HQ), and we’ve found ourselves scurrying to the store several times for more milk, hot chocolate, apple cider, spiced rum, tea, coffee and… pumpkin beer. A few local coffee [...]

Crema’s Got The Coffee Spirit

Voting? Like coffee… how about FREE coffee? Head to Crema, they’re giving a free brewed coffee to anyone wearing their “I Voted” sticker from now until the election is over on November 4. Kudos to Crema for their generosity and for encouraging folks to get out and vote!

Crema Coffee Classes [Guest Posts]

Guest post by our friend Jon Arnold, who irresponsibly neglects several of his own websites… Thanks Jon!
If you spend much time on First Avenue downtown, you’re sure to have also spent some time at two places: one, the weird roller coaster statue, and two, Crema Coffee.  Nashvillest has sung its praises of Crema before, but [...]

Nashville Newcomers: DrinkHaus Espresso & Tea

Coffee shops reproduce. That’s the only explanation we’ve been able to come up with as we watch infant businesses spring up on every corner. Not that we’re complaining. We took a trip to Germantown this weekend to welcome the newest of the bunch into the fold. Meet DrinkHaus. 
Germantown was quiet on Saturday afternoon with no [...]

East Nashville Invasion: Fresh Blends & Ugly Mugs

The East Nashville invasion is complete – Fresh Blends and Ugly Mugs have both officially opened their doors to the public. We set out on a mission last week to try them both, choosing to visit Fresh Blends first and save Ugly Mugs for their grand opening on Saturday. 
Fresh Blends is tiny and bare, as [...]

Photo Of The Day: Fido

We at Nashvillest have been pretty taken with Fido since we moved to Nashville. You can count on us being there at least once a week blogging, playing a rowdy game of cards, or hitting up our friends’ art openings. We think it’s pretty neat that it used to be a pet shop with a [...]

Crema Contest: What’s In A Name?

The folks over at Crema Coffee have a job for you: They need a name for their new Thai-ish summer coffee drink. What’s in it for you? Free coffee for a whole week. Twitter them with your ideas at @cremacrema or shoot them an email at contact@crema-coffee.com. Even if you’re stumped, head over to their [...]
