When you get tired of going to the Starbucks across the street, OwenBloggers has you covered.
JJ’s Market and Café
Website: N/A. Here is their page
Address:
Hours: They just scaled their hours back a bit: Mon-Fri – 7a-11p; Sat – 8a-11a; Sun – 10a-9p
Seating: Lots of seating with a ton of tables as well as comfy chairs/couches
Outdoor Seating: Yes, kind of. Nothing to get excited about.
Selected Prices: Small/Large Coffee: $1.60/$1.85, Medium Latte: $3.35;
Outlet availability: Decent. They have several power strips throughout, but there are still a few spots in the place where you can’t reach an outlet.
Wifi: Yes. Closed network, password required.
Driving Distance from Owen: 0.2 miles (Winner closest indie coffee shop to Owen!)
Parking (Car): Yes, but it is a small lot. Best option is to walk from Owen.
Parking (Bike): No.
Food: They have a few cookies and muffins; also JJ’s is one part coffee shop and one part mini-grocery store. They sell things like granola bars, chips, beer, kegs (it’s actually where we get our kegs for Thursday Social), candy, paper towels, etc. Also of note is that they have international stuff from Italy, Belgium, Sweden, etc.
Scene: Majority Vanderbilt students. Almost everyone at JJ’s has their laptop open with papers spread out everywhere. Law/Divinity/Owen and undergrads all flock to this place.
Other Notes: JJ’s has 5 craft beers on tap, a great selection of loose leaf teas, and plays classical music quite a bit.

Sam & Zoe’s Coffee House and Café
Website: http://www.samandzoes.com/
Address:
Hours: Mon-Fri – 6:30a-8p; Sat – 7a-7p; Sun – 8a-7p
Seating: One of the smaller shops in Nashville, but good amount of tables given the size.
Outdoor Seating: Yes. Covered.
Selected Prices: Small/Large Coffee: $1.50/$2.05, Medium Latte: $3.05
Outlet availability: Decent. You gotta stick to the back wall.
Wifi: Sort of. They turn off the wifi from 10:30am-2pm. Sneaky way to keep the limited table space open during lunch time. I was able to pick up wifi from the gas station next door, but it kept going in and out.
Driving Distance from Owen: 4.3 Miles
Parking (Car): Yes, but limited.
Parking (Bike): No.
Food: Full breakfast and lunch menu. They get bagels from Star Bagel. They have breakfast burritos, oatmeal, granola, sandwiches, burgers, salads, etc.
Scene: Located close to quite a bit of residential so it has a neighborhood feel with a very diverse crowd.
Other Notes: The only indie coffee shop in Nashville with a drive-through window. Claims to be the second coffee house in Nashville.

Edgehill Cafe
Website: edgehillcafe.com
Address:
Hours: Mon-Fri – 7a-8p; Sat – 9a-6p; Sun – Closed
Seating: Lots of seating with a variety of tables, comfy chairs/couches, and bar seating.
Outdoor Seating: Yes
Selected Prices: 12oz Coffee: $1.75, 12oz Latte: $3.50; Avg Panini: $8.00
Outlet availability: Pretty good. You have to stick to the walls to reach the plugs though.
Wifi: Yes. Open network, no password required.
Driving Distance from Owen: 0.7 miles
Parking (Car): Yes, but all parking directly out front is 30min only. Lots of on-street parking nearby.
Parking (Bike): Yes.
Food: Breakfast and Lunch selections such as bagels, egg sandwiches, salads and paninis.
Scene: This place is not as student-filled as some coffee shops. There are a good number of people that are typing away on their laptops, but just as many talking/socializing. Plus it is super close to Music Row which means a fair number of business meeting go on here as well.
Other Notes: Edgehill serves a limited selection of beer and wine. It is located in a very cool and walkable neighborhood with other restaurants and retail around, most notably Taco Mamacita. Edgehill has a second location which I decided doesn’t get an individual post since it is basically in Brentwood, but if you are ever in Lennox Village you might want to check out their location there: 6900 Lenox Village Blvd. Suite 15, Nashville, TN 37211

Dose Coffee & Tea
Website: dosecoffeeandtea.com
Address: 3431 Murphy Road, Nashville, TN 37203
Hours: M-F 6a-7p; Sat 7a-7p; Sun 8a-7p
Seating: Very popular place that fills up quite often, but you can find a seat most days. If not, ask to share a booth or table with someone!
Selected Prices: Medium Coffee: $2.00, Medium Latte: $3.50, Cup of Tea: $2.25
Outlet availability: Ample thanks to several power strips throughout.
Wifi: Yes: Open network, no password required. Always a good connection.
Driving Distance from Owen: 1.8 miles
Parking (Car): Yes, but limited.
Parking (Bike): No.
Food: Cookies, Bagels, Breakfast Sandwiches, Small lunch menu, Treats, etc.
Scene: Mostly a mix of students and professionals. You’ll see lots of laptops open or business meetings being conducted at Dose.
Other Notes: In my opinion, the strongest coffee in Nashville. Great selection of tea. Best smelling coffee shop. Next door to Grand Cru Wine and Spirits who hosts wine tastings in Dose occasionally. I would go here way more if they were open past 7pm. As it stands, it splits time with Crema as my morning/afternoon coffee shop.
