Brunch: our favorite meal of the day. A stellar combo of breakfast and lunch with both savory and sweet options to suit every tastebud. Be it a late breakfast or an early lunch, these local places will hit the spot.
Nashville Jam Cafe
Locals come here often and there's good reason. Brunch consists of classic comfort foods like stuffed French toast, shrimp and grits, and buttermilk pancakes. We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the biscuits with jam or the cafe's Bronuts aka batter dipped and fried, stuffed with cheesecake, and topped with blueberry compote.

Milk and Honey
This trendy spot in the Gulch serves a plethora of baked goods like scones, muffins, and homemade pop tarts, plus bagels, biscuits, and other delish brunch bits. Feeling like you're in more of a lunch mood? Deli board sandwiches sound like a good place to start.
Biscuit Love
You haven't been to Nashville if you've never brunched at Biscuit Love. Our favs include the S.E.C., a side of candied chronic bacon and a cup of fruit tea. But no stop to biscuit Love is complete without their famous Bonuts, which are made from fried biscuit dough, tossed in sugar, and topped with lemon mascarpone, served over blueberry compote.
