"Our East Nashville location has two names and combines a traditional coffeehouse with the city’s first board game café. In 2000, Bongo helped kick-off the revitalization of the 5 Points business neighborhood by moving our coffee roasting operation there. The café portion was added almost as an after-thought. As the neighborhood grew around us, we moved the roasting division out to make room for tables and chairs."

Along with the vegan-friendly dinner menu, you’ll find a drink selection that leans heavily into whiskey cocktails. Just save room for a pistachio ice cream sandwich with a cup of Turkish coffee for dessert."

Great lunch spot! Via Eater Nashville: "When lunchtime rolls around, those hankering for a solid sandwich turn to Gracie Nguyen and Chad Newton’s East Side Banh Mi for a casual, come-as-you-are meal. As the name suggests, you’ll find various iterations of the Vietnamese staple on freshly baked baguettes with high-quality fillings for both meat lovers and vegetarians, including pork, chopped steak, Impossible meatballs, and chile crisp tofu. The noodle bowls are a hit too, especially when paired with East Side’s toasted peanut rice milk."
