Flora + Fauna | Coffeeshop find in Nashville, TN
BEYONCE.
Was the reason for the trip, but of course you have to do things around the queens arrival. We just so happened to be waiting for brunch on Sunday morning, a mistake in a lot of ways as it took up an entire day. We decided to go ahead and go to a coffeeshop during our wait.
My friend pulled up a few different options in our area, then handed the phone to me because it is my gift to pick the right vibe. Yet again that gift did the damn thing and Flora and Fauna was chosen. When we pulled up, we we’re not disapointed.
Flora and Fauna Nashville is located in the heart of East Nashville inside of Highland Yards. Formerly 1920’s Vaughn Manufacturing space turned retail and creative office space and it's beautiful! It has a bit more flair than the typical industrial places turned modern.
From the moment you walk in, you'll be greeted by the smell of fresh coffee and the sound of birds chirping. The walls are decorated with botanical prints, and the tables are made from reclaimed wood. Making it perfect for a content creators dream of great lighting and amazing aesthetic.
But Flora and Fauna Nashville isn't just about making great coffee. I had a yummy Orange Espresso Martini and it was that perfect type of mildly bitter that you taste when you drink an amazing cocktail. It was perfectly balanced.
Not only are they a cute spot, they're also committed to giving back to the environment. They use compostable cups and straws, and they recycle all of their waste. They also partner with local businesses and organizations that are working to protect the environment.
If you're looking for a coffee shop that's good for the environment and the soul, then you need to check out Flora and Fauna Nashville. You won't be disappointed!
Here are some of the ways that Flora and Fauna Nashville is committed to sustainability:
They use 100% compostable cups and straws.
They recycle all of their waste.
They partner with local businesses and organizations that are working to protect the environment.
They use sustainable packaging for their products.
They source their coffee beans from sustainable farms.
They use energy-efficient appliances and lighting.
We only got a fruit cup, but I will be back to try the food as it looks amazing!! Have you been? What are you’re thoughts?
