If students are not talking about Nashville’s music, they’re talking about Nashville’s coffee. Crema has the best in the city. Located near downtown, tucked away next to a gas station, Crema’s space used to be an old diesel repair shop. Owned and operated by the same individuals, Crema was opened in 2008 with the mission of serving great coffee; and that’s just what they’re doing!

The tables and chairs around the shop are not pushed close together, like in some other coffee shops, and visitors are given the space they need to enjoy their coffee without feeling rushed.
