Bistro 562 & Coffee House — Restaurant in Gallatin

There's a very good reason why this place is well rated. Not a fluke! This joint might not have "all the flavors" associated with some coffee shops, but it doesn't need all that to be an overall excellent spot to make your primary/go to coffee shop. And sure, they may not be open every day like the mainstream coffee places, but that isn't this place. This is a well ran place, with plenty of spots to "park your seat" for a spot to converse with another, to think/contemplate, or even work for a bit...whilst sipping on a coffee or tea (in my case, usually both). And their food/treats are scratch made, though small in selection it makes up in excellence/tastiness.

They should taste their own biscuits and draw their own...

Yesterday, my wife and I drove from Adams, Tn to go to 562. We had seen it showcased on Tennessee Crossroads on TV. The entire experience was nothing short of outstanding!!!!

The atmosphere was warm, friendly and very inviting. The decorations were amazing. The only gripe I had was there was a wonderful spiral staircase that was not open to the public for use.

The service was excellent! The wait staff were friendly, helpful and kind. Our food was very good and served exactly as ordered.

On top of all else, both of the owners went out of their way to talk with me and personally introduce themselves....
