As a coffee lover it can also be tough sometimes to be a brunch lover as well. Do I chose a restaurant based on its coffee or its food? The worst is feeling like you have to choose one or the other, but Proper Bagel, located near Belmont University it Nashville, has solved this problem….

Cold Brew Review- Larry’s Cold Brew
For my last cold brew I decided to try a concentrate just to change things up. While it takes a little more effort to drink cold brew from concentrate, I liked the idea of doing something to prepare my coffee since I am so used to brewing every morning. The second I took the first…
Cold Brew Review – Barista Parlor
Now that Barista Parlor is serving their own coffee, I decided in honor of National Cold Brew day yesterday it was time to try their take on this drink. As usual, Barista Parlor did not disappoint. This was another cold brew that did not compromise flavor or quality. This cold brew was not fruity or…
Cold Brew Review- Chameleon Cold Brew
This morning I tried Chameleon Cold Brew, a Fair Trade organic cold brew company based in Austin, Texas. Chameleon has a variety of flavored cold brew coffees as well as the original black cold brew. Personally, I prefer black cold brew because I am not a huge fan of sweet flavors, but I tried their…
Cold Brew Review – Revelator Coffee Company
I was really feeling the heat in Nashville yesterday and decided to walk over to Revelator located in Hillsboro Village for some cold brew coffee. I hadn’t tried it in a while, but to my pleasure Revelator’s cold brew was refreshing and full of flavor. The best part of this coffee is its naturally sweet and floral…
Cold Brew Review – Slingshot Coffee

As I kept drinking I realized most of the flavor comes from the aftertaste which is slightly woodsy and smokey. The flavor is not super strong, but it is slightly bitter and takes some getting used to. Overall,…
Workshop Coffee- London, UK
Located in a back corner of the Marylebone neighborhood in London, Workshop Coffee is a long and narrow coffee shop surrounded by a small shopping and dining area. This shop was crowded with people sitting on benches along the walls as well as a bench outside. I was intrigued by the effort people made to provide…
Changes at Barista Parlor
Barista Parlor started roasting their own coffee pretty recently. In the past year they have included it on their menu along with other well-known roasters like Verve, Intelligentsia, Stumptown, and others. As of two weeks ago, Barista Parlor has started serving exclusively their own coffee. While it’s sad to lose a place where customers had so…
Coffee of the Month
After learning that Brazil struggles to continue producing specialty coffee due to the lower altitudes of coffee farms in the country, I decided to try one of La Colombe’s newer coffees from Brazil. This coffee is from La Colombe’s Workshop collection and is called “Matilde Mahogany”. I tried brewing this coffee on a Beehouse dripper…
