Modero Coffee — Restaurant in Jackson

I was on a journey from Columbus, Ohio to Houston, Texas and it took me through Jackson Tennessee. I am a coffee snob. I used to roast coffee beans.

Nice mug, sized for espresso. Nice water setup. Everything clean. Probably the best spot for straight espresso north of...

Stumbled upon this little place while My family was traveling back to Indiana and my husband and I were looking for a good coffee spot asap. This place didn’t disappoint! The barista was so kind to my children and gave us excellent recommendations for myself as well as my kiddos. The lavender iced latte was so good! The shop is located in a college library so my kids got to practice their indoor voices, but outside the shop is a cute patio where the kids got to run and stretch their legs a bit while we...
