Never even got our lunch!

by bayley09

We went for lunch and had an appointment we had to keep. We waited in a line of maybe 10 people and then placed our order. After we had placed our order, a person came up and asked where their food was. The order taker said it was the next ticket. Fifteen minutes later, they got their food. There were at least 5 orders ahead of ours (You can tell because the tables waiting have big green numbers). At that rate, we would have waited over an hour for two sandwiches. We told the order taker we had to leave and they would not refund our order. Not impressed and won't go again.

• Cons: long waits

Ended up here when another restaurant was closed and we love

by CSMobileUser2

We ended up here when a nearby restaurant was closed, and boy were we glad. We loved the atmosphere and the hip scene on the outside porch. There was a wonderful blend of baby boomers and college aged folks during the linchtime hour. We will definitely return!

Pretty great place to go!!!

by Willeyum

So living in the Nashville area I find myself stopping by Cafe CoCo's on a regular basis. I love everything from the people working there, to the coffee, and the food! It's a great place to go and maybe get homework done while sipping on a coffee, or just chatting with some friends before or after the club. I love that it is open 24 hours. Makes it convienent to go whenever you can. I would def say that everyone should go. Just not when I do because the line can get pretty long. Not the best place to go if your in a hurry.. But if you want to chill, relax and just think. Def worth going :)

• Pros: people, environment
• Cons: long lines

Wonderful food and environment

by kinscherff

My daughter is attending Vanderbilt this fall. We stayed at the Music City hostel downtown and they recommended Coco Cafe. We LOVED it! When my daughter had to go to orientation meetings the next day...I went back by myself and enjoyed every bite! The environment is very friendly. I give it a big thumbs up!

great late night hangout

by ahennig

the food is decently priced and they have great drinks. I highly recommend the peaches 'n cream italian soda and the white satin coffee drink. it's loud inside but it has a great laid-back atmosphere and is a great place to meet up with a group of friends.

• Pros: atmosphere, hours of service
• Cons: parking, slow service

DO NOT PARK IN THE PAY LOT

by bluegrrl

DO NOT PARK IN THE PAY LOT next to Cafe Coco.

We paid $5 to park there and got booted anyway. It happened to a couple of other cars that night, too. All of us paid. All of us got booted. All of us had to pay $50 to get the boot removed. I remember joking that we should have filmed ourselves putting money into the slot in case we got towed. Well, joke's on us. I won't park there again, but if you do, generate your own record for paying.

It's a racket. Don't park anywhere where they don't give you a receipt.

• Pros: great coffee and ambience
• Cons: the pay lot outside is run by criminals

cafe coco on your side ... or not

by razor11

i liked this place and became a regular till i got a boot on my car at lunch when there was hardly anyone there .... the managers and waiters all say the same thing .. "we watch 3 or 4 people a day get boooted." Hello .... those are your cutomers!! those signs are made to look like pay for event parking until you go read the paragraph ... what kind of place watches people pay fines out in the parking lot connected to the building and doesn't put up big signs informing people not to park there ... the kind of place that probably gets a percentage of the fines i'll bet! yes i know pay 2 dollars like your supposed to right .. the whole thing is misleading if you ask me and if i owned the place i would make damn well sure everyone got the picture when they pulled in the lot ... or here's a thought buy more spaces for your customers ... if the situation wasn't covered by the local news because it happens so much i might not feel as strongly about it ....

• Pros: good environment, good music
• Cons: slow a monday service, parking is misleading i believe

great 24 hours

by Sebowe

A few of my friends and I go here at least once every week. I was reading through some of the comments on here and I have to tell you, I've NEVER had an issue with any of the staff. Everyone has always been completely pleasant. The food is amazing as well. Where else can you get great, good-for-you food 24 hours a day? At 2 in the morning, it's either Cafe Coco or Waffle House... Another thing, about the parking, as one reviewer stated and I'll say it too, it's downtown Nashville... parking's going to be a b**ch no matter where you go for the most part so get over it. Go park on the street and walk a little, it's not that big of a deal. I've never NOT been able to park somewhere close to Cafe Coco. Also, when there are lines, it just proves it's that good and just that worth it.

Tons of Fun.....Great Atmosphere

by christybell97

Cafe Coco is tons of fun, the back room setup is great for gathering, and the food is delish. Cafe Coco will always be a very special place to me. I met my husband there 8 years ago last Thursday!! God Bless Cafe Coco! For those of you who complain about the parking....Here's the thing, You are in downtown Nashville and no semi large cities have very good parking. You must admit. There are plenty of Restaurants dowtown that don't have any parking options at all. Atleast Cafe Coco has 5 in the parking lot and several on the streets.

• Pros: Food, Service, Ambience
• Cons: Need to Franchise
