Yeast Nashville

Just had the best chai latte of my life. Coolest barista ever. I’m literally here every week, just had to spread the good word.

I did not enjoy the kolache, not to say the other items aren’t good. But based on what I ordered I was not a fan, the texture and taste was just odd for my preference. The dough was grainy, the meat was bland and the cheese… not sure it was even some there. It was a bit on the dryer side. Go in the morning for freshness, they will keep what they make all morning until they close. So I am glad I didn’t get it the first time I walked in closer to 11am. The wait is not the best, but it is one person who is taking orders and making coffee so don’t expect a quick in and out experience.

As a transplanted Texan, I take my kolaches as seriously as most southerners take their barbecue. Even in the Lone Star State, the places that serve actual Tex-Czech kolaches are pretty much relegated to west and central Texas. My jaw pretty much hit the floor the first time I tried Yeast Nashville’s kolache offering.

It. is. SPOT. ON. Does it help that they get their sausage from Elgin? No, of course not. But the true secret is the bread with which the kolache is made. It’s very, very, very slightly sweet, yeasty, and a smidge heavier/denser than sandwich bread.

Couple those things with the perfect balance of cheese and jalapeños inside the kolache, and you’ve got yourself a perfect breakfast.

I’ve also had their bread pudding—equally reminiscent of that Central Texas cuisine—and really enjoyed it. It’s not overly sweet like a donut may be, it’s got the right balance.

I highly encourage you to order (early) from their website beforehand, especially on the weekend. The first time I went, the line was out the door and about 5 people deep waiting to get in.

Thanks to places like Yeast Nashville, I’m converting myself to a Nashvillian at breakneck speed.

open everyday!

not today though

thanks for the response... if I had some way of knowing because I took a cab directly to you from the airport. then walked to joyland {which was open and really good} and then no quarter {open} and then across the bridge to my hotel {not recommended}. I get you deal with the cold differently than New England but update your medias please. we have the technology!

Oh My Word! Who doesn't like sweet bread stuffed with something salty. Sausage & Havarti was just right. Of course we had to grab a sweet cream cheese, cherry and apple cinnamon.
We will definitely be back to try more! 😁👍

It is hard for me to review this place. I’m patronizing Yeast Nashville almost weekly and always have good experience. Service is consistently good and efficient. Mostly, my order is simple. It’s a cappuccino. That’s when it becomes tricky. It’s not a ambiance, because it’s kind of cool. Shows a working environment. What bothers me is that is so limited seating places or better to say chairs. Used to be a table outside, but not anymore. I believe, there is enough nice, sunny days in winter months to justify having the table or couple chairs outside.

If you love kolaches, this may be the best you'll ever have. Located in the east part of Nashville, they bake all different kinds of kolaches every morning they are open. The jalapeno and cheddar kolache was great, but the sweet cream cheese one was OUT OF THIS WORLD! They warm it up for you and wow- the taste, the texture. It was SO GOOD! I savored every bite and that thing was big too!
