Portland Brew - Nashville

Great coffee shop is located in the 12 South area. Fast service. Great coffee. Good location to hang out while others want to keep shopping, etc. It was a good experience to visit in this coffee shop.

Get rid of paper straws. They are the worst, falling apart in less than 10 minutes. Many places change to plant-based straws if you want to avoid plastic and still have a useful straw. Everything else about Portland Brew is fantastic!

My favorite place to get a great cup of coffee. Ethiopian region available 80% of the time and the price is the best in town.

Always a great local spot in 12 south that thankfully never gets overwhelmed with the tourists. Coffee is consistently top notch and their food is great! Got their new Kale salad. Loaded with bacon, goat cheese, almond, and a fried egg. The server that brought it to me was excited to tell me it was her first time making it and DANG she did a good job. I don’t think they have gluten free bread, but whatever the salad was perfect. Porch is good for dogs! Except there’s annoying construction next door. Didn’t ruin my lunch though and didn’t scare my dog. I can always count on this place having seating!

The coffee is excellent. I tried the Iced Caramel Cream and could really taste both the coffee and the caramel, which was delightful. The sandwiches are quite delicious and come on your choice of bread, including sourdough. However, I had to deduct a star due to slower-than-expected service. After waiting 13 minutes for our sandwiches, we had to remind them that we had also ordered coffee. They had mentioned that they would bring everything together, so we didn't wait at the counter.
