"Retrograde is quickly becoming one of my favorite coffee shops. To start, parking is refreshingly easy and plentiful, especially compared to other coffee shops in the area. The interior features ample seating, large windows, and a calming atmosphere that is perfect for focused work. A creature of habit, I have only tried one of their drinks thus far, but the Kavlatte has not disappointed me each time I've ordered it. Bonus points for the option to get your drink in either a to-go cup or a glass if you're sticking around! The true standout aspect of each of my experiences at Retrograde has been the delightful staff. Truly leagues more friendly and personable than any other coffee shop I've frequented. Everyone I have interacted with has been incredibly welcoming and kind. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone, whether they are grabbing a coffee for the road, or planning to sit down and work or catch up with friends!"

"As someone who lives in Australia visiting Nashville this was by far the best coffee I’ve had! Staff where also so lovely highly recommend. Great quality and my flat white was perfect such a gem ✨🤍🫶🏼"

"This corner local coffee shop is amazing. The customer service is old school classic coffee shop vibe! The whole restaurant was amazing. The manager actually loves his job and wants to be there. So much knowledge about the roasts and brews. All the suggestions we had delighted me. Thanks n for a great visit and experience. We will stay near this location again!! Added a picture: I drink americanos. And they labeled cup USA. I worked in the coffee industry for years. Why did I never think of this!!"

"The coffee was great and Grace the barista was even better. To prove both I have attached a picture. I grabbed a Starbucks cup then went to Retrograde and got a coffee. Poured their coffee in the Starbucks cup to convince my mom we(Nashville) had the best Starbucks in the country. She tasted Retrograde coffee in her Starbucks cup and knew it wasn’t Starbucks because of her 40 years of loyalty but said Retrograde was the best coffee she has had and if she lived in the city she would not go anywhere else. To pull this off Grace topped off the largest Starbucks cup to the brim to make it actually look like Starbucks. Thank you Grace and thank you Retrograde. THE BEST"

"We went to Retrograde Coffee for the first time this morning and loved it! I enjoyed the vibe of this coffee shop and the customer service was great. We both ordered the cortado and the everything bagel. So good! Definitely recommend Retrograde Coffee and will be coming back!"
