Poindexter Coffee

Review! Nashville, Tennessee // coffee + light bites // beautiful atmosphere

the ELEVATOR PITCH

If the first floor of the Graduate Hotel could be likened to anything, it’d be a quilt of eclectic fabric patterns, colors, and textures that you didn’t even know existed stitched together with such finesse that one could only assume their sole purpose was to coexist together. Again, only a hip-cool-talented quiltmaker can pull all of these disparate pieces together to create an absolute masterpiece. You will find yourself not able to ignore the beauty.

Graduate Hotel could teach us all a thing or two about creative space utilization, how to build a reputation for being a destination to “up your Instagram ante,” and how to raise the bar on consumer experience for hotel lobby coffee shops all around the nation (after all, “We Are All Students,” as their lobby floor displays in large text).

Reviews on the munchies pictured above:

A Seasonal Latte: specifically a pumpkin spice is pictured; the house made syrup was not-too-sweet, balanced out the espresso’s bitterness perfectly, and its flavor pizzazz shown through. Would definitely order again!

vibes // you definitely can tell this is the first floor of a hotel—there’s an eb & flow of people with their luggage constantly; because of this, it wouldn’t be my first choice as a place to catch up with friends (since it can be quite distracting) but okay for a bite to eat, coffee, or a fun photo op!
