I really enjoyed my visit here and will be back. I had the chorizo burrito with plantain chips. It came out hot and fresh. I also got the sweater weather latte which is a seasonal drink. It consists of brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. It’s not a super sweet drink, but I loved the subtlety of it. The staff were also very kind, i definitely recommend!

I’ve had some pretty consistently positive experiences with this place, and everything on the menu tastes really good. It’s not often that a coffee shop has good food, but the lunch options here are as good as any food-based restaurant. One of my favorite places in Middle Tennessee for sure.

Visited with a friend who has celiac. We were impressed with their knowledge of allergy v. eating preference. The gluten-free options were clearly marked and genuinely safe, which gave us both peace of mind. Even better, the food was fresh & flavorful. We ordered the breakfast tacos, which came with a side of crispy potatoes. The tacos were generous in size and filled with bold, satisfying flavors. The empanadas were golden and crisp, with a perfectly seasoned filling that made them hard to share. And the coffee? So good. Smooth, strong, and exactly the kind of cup that makes you want to come back for more. This is not just a great gluten-free spot. It is a great food spot, period. We’ll be back.

I was honestly debating giving Bella Vista 4 stars. However, the food is AMAZING: you just don’t get a lot for what you pay. We got the Yuca Sticks, Esquites, cheese and chicken arepitas, Bella vista mocachino, and rancho tostado. The food is authentic, and much of it has an amazing Breakfast twist. While it is super good, especially with its authenticity, expect to pay some money.

My wife and I stopped in for Brunch. Absolutely delicious coffee and the food is much better than every other coffee joint. 5 stars to the food, coffee, and staff. Was a little busy but that’s a good sign. Everything is cooked fresh so it takes a little to get your order but it’s so worth it. I recommend the Loaded Sunrise.

I just finished my lunch here. Muy Bueno!! I ordered the abuela plate and a 12 Oz Cubano coffee. The plate was VERY filling without being heavy. It included scrambled eggs with tomatoes cheese, black beans, guacamole and some spicy sour cream. It was the tastiest thing I've had in a while! The Cubano was 12 oz...and I wish I had gotten the 16 oz, it was so yummy. The spiciness was mostly flavor without much of a kick, so if you can't tolerate heat, this would probably still be ok. I really recommend it...and Nashvillians, it's worth the drive! The flavor was that good! The lady who served me turned out to be one of the owners. She was very helpful, while I chose my plate. I ate just outside the door and enjoyed the breeze and sunshine, but the inside is nice too (see photos).
