Hand-picked matcha destinations organized by theme, neighborhood, and occasion

A self-guided crawl through East Nashville's matcha scene — seven spots, all within walking distance, done at your own pace over a single afternoon. Start at Barista Parlor East, the pioneer that kicked off Nashville's specialty coffee boom in 2012, then hit Dose for locally roasted excellence, Bongo Java East for classic Nashville vibes, and Ugly Mugs for tea-focused matcha expertise, finishing at Forevermore Coffee for traditionally-whisked matcha. East Nashville is Music City's undisputed matcha capital.
