White Bison Coffee — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

Going to break the review into several parts with the general atmosphere, the food, drinks, and value each being their own category.

Atmosphere - Great but side tables (bars) are too thin to work on.

The atmosphere is quite nice it does have that industrial feel to it, the inside is really sleek and very functional but overall it's fairly nice. The side bars aligned up against the windows are very sweet for the most part. They come with enough charging outlets to fulfill every seat along the row. however the tables in the middle of the room are lacking in their number of outlets and some appear to not have any. Additionally the side tables where I am sitting are incredibly thin and therefore are not suitable working areas. my laptop currently just hangs off the edge of the table. Not a big deal, but a minor complaint. Otherwise the space it's self is very nice.

Food - Low Quality frozen, what I would see in a twice daily.

To sample I tried the sausage egg scramble, and a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. Both had the familiar taste of Gas Station food. The parent company of White Bison Coffee is Twice Daily the convenience store / gas station company and the quality of food is reflected in that. This is not a Wawa or a Sheetz this is twice daily quality food its frozen and it's incredibly over seasoned. The sausage egg scramble thing i got was very over seasoned. the bacon egg and cheese on a bagel though, was very bland overall. Which is on par with gas station food. Not to mention you could go down the road to frothy monkey and get better quality food.

Drink - Incredibly strange (might have just been my drink choice though)

I only selected the white bison mocha to drink, and it was odd to say the least. It started off very sweet (the whip cream I suspect), and then kind of got this watery sugary coffee mixture. In this town there are an almost unlimited number of places to get coffee and this was far from one of the best, i don't want to say it was terrible because I could drink it but it was average, more like below average actually.

Value - It's cheap like you expect from a gas station.

It's cheap not really good but cheap if you're just needing something to fill you up, it works but if you're wanting to go out for a casual lunch or anything other than coffee skip it at all costs.

Concluding Thoughts

No tldr here sadly, I like the concept but it's incredibly low quality food and average drinks at best. However, i do like the atmosphere I come to a coffee shop for good food and drinks I can't let the nice design overshadow the low quality food and drink options here but it is a saving grace from giving it one star.

I would return but never get the food again, I would get a cup of coffee and try to find a more comfortable table to try and get some work done but overall the poor quality food, and the commercialized feel in terms of drinks and food it's worth of a 2...

White Bison Coffee is probably one of the better places to get a coffee. If you happen to be in the Nations, I do recommend that you go try out some of their coffee. I've been there twice now, and enjoyed it each time. My overall criteria for judgement, is; Food Quality, Service Quality, and Location/Atmosphere Quality. (TL;DR below)

Food - The Coffee here is great. First time I came, I came as a group of three. The item I happened to choose was their Eggnog Latte. It tasted amazing. The great taste of coffee I always love, and the eggnog taste I've loved for years made an amazing latte. The Mocha Latte was great as well. Neither were too sweet or too bitter. All were just right.

Service - The employees here were very helpful and cooperative with me, explaining the flavors and the items I was ordering. They made sure what I got was what I wanted, and assured that I would be returning. (As all employees should)

Location/Atmosphere - The atmosphere is calm and relaxing as a coffee shop should be. Very easy to converse with a friend or partner. Maybe not the best place for a date, but I've never tried it so I can't say to much on that. The place is also great for creative work, such as writing or drawing as I may do. The music is usually good, and friendly for audiences of all ages. Very clean as well.

TL;DR Overall the quality of the shop was really great. Good food, good service, and great atmosphere. Definitely plan to go...

So this particular White Bison is so close to my new house I thought I’d give it a try. I fell in love with the White Bison that was located inside a gas station near my old stomping grounds so I thought this one would be just as good! The two employees didn’t seem very interested in being at work this day and weren’t very friendly. I was used to the gas station White Bison employees being so helpful and friendly, so this was quite the change. Anyway, onto the coffee - I ordered what I normally do and the baristas realized she made it wrong so she dumped it out - not a problem I thought. She remade it and I later realized she didn’t bother refreshing the coffee grounds… so it’s no wonder my drink tasted like pure vanilla sugar water. :( Luckily there’s a mom & pop coffee shop a block or two away from this location so I’ll be checking them...
