    A Nashville bakery-cafe in 12 South where the cinnamon cookies come roughly the size of a salad plate and the churro croissants are filled with dulce de leche cream. The fast-casual counter up front handles the pastry situation; the cafe in back does soft scrambled eggs with chili crunch and lattes for anyone who secures a seat. Midcentury-sunny room, long lines of people who planned ahead, and beignets that won Nashville Scene's city-wide vote.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Brown butter beignets

      “Specifically, I can — and at every opportunity, will — share the brown butter beignets, which taste like a doughnut and funnel cake coalesced in the fryer.”

      Nashville Scene, 2025
    • Cinnamon toast crunch cookies

      “The fast-casual bakery up front is home to impossibly beautiful delights like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cookies the size of a salad plate and churro croissants filled with dulce de leche creme.”

    • Square breakfast sandwich

      “If you’ve already waited in line for a table to try their square breakfast sandwich, you can stockpile your pastries onto your order to take with you after you pay your bill, and skip a second wait time at the counter.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
