Crest Coffee House — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

It's an interesting spot. Pretty off-putting when you pull up (ample parking spots in their large lot). The building has no windows on the front, or in the doors. Once you make it through the door to the right of the painted-on logo you're in a nice, open space. Lots of seating (large community table, high tops, bar, couches, etc), free wifi, and outlets everywhere. If you're looking for a place to get some work done this might be your spot.

When you order it's "donations only," which struck me as weird and kinda awkward. I paid $2 for a cup of coffee, thinking I could also tip but that wasn't an option...I'll pay more next time for sure.

The thing that's knocking a star off my review was the coffee itself. It's just fine. Nothing worth writing home about, but you can get better coffee elsewhere. As Crest is positioning themselves in the "make a difference" space this is kinda what I was expecting (sadly).

All-in-all, worth a trip and a fantastic place to post up and do some work/play a board game with a friend. The folks...

Nothing but positive about this place! First off, plenty of parking and an abundance of seating: couches, high top tables, and a generously large long rectangular table with chairs on either side and plenty of room for working on laptop, reading etc.

The barista was super welcoming and answered any questions, and even allowed me to change one of the ingredients in the latte I ordered. The Reckless Love latte with Rasberry was chef's kiss.

They have dairy and nondairy milks, and their mission to be donation based for the drinks/pay what you can is really awesome and really refreshing amongst the coffee scene in Nash.

On-site restrooms that were clean and well-maintained. and free Wi-Fi. Will definitely be returning to read a book or get some work done as well as try more of the lattes!!!...

This coffee shop is an absolute hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a calm, quiet atmosphere that’s perfect for reading, studying, or just unwinding. What truly sets this place apart is their incredible drink menu — both the everyday creations and the seasonal specials are bursting with flavor and creativity. You can tell the baristas put real heart into every cup.

And the best part? It’s completely donation-based — you simply pay what you can or feel the experience is worth. That kind of community-first approach is rare and deeply appreciated. It’s more than just a coffee shop; it’s a space that invites kindness, comfort, and connection....
