The Cafe At Thistle Farms

This place is a breath of fresh air. I got the daily special herbed chicken salad croissant with a side of cornbread pudding. Also got to try the pesto grilled cheese, pimento BLT, and pasta salad. Everything i bit into was better than expected and i love that we decided to stop in here today. The cornbread pudding was amazing with plenty of roasted corn, the croissant was light and fresh, the lettuce and tomato on it was fresh, the chicken tastes like it was never frozen and you can actually taste the meat a little bit (very rare in America with a perfect balance of herbs, Mayo, and chicken. This did not overload you with one flavor or another like most restaurant chicken salads. I had a hunch this one would be better when i walked in, and I'm SO glad i tried it. The pimento BLT has thick and slightly crispy bacon with a melty blend of cheddar and a perfectly buttered and toasted bread. Yes the lettuce was crisp and the tomato did not bleed into it. You can imagine where I'm going with this when i tell you that the pesto was homemade and just light enough on the grilled cheese to not give you an oily mouth feel but still be delicious. Oh and i almost forgot the $4 drip coffee. WAY better than most coffees in Nashville. They use Bongo coffee, which is a really good local company. If people knew about this cafe, Barista Parlor would be out of business. I'm convinced. I love this place, and I'll be back, hopefully several times (P.s. the in-house homemade pickles!!!! It comes with your sandwich. Try it! Even if you don't like pickles! It's different than anything you can find in stores!

This rate is only for the High Tea Experience. The service was less than mediocre. Our cutlets were wet, the table was not clean enough, and they did not pick up used or dirty plates. I had to remove dirty plates myself to make the “high tea experience” more pleasant. The room where they provide “the high tea” is dark and boring, with no windows, and it is maybe the worst part of the place to get “the high tea.” The food is mediocre as well, and there is nothing memorable.

The staff, the food and the atmosphere was amazing. I also visited the gift shop and purchased a few things to help support the mission. I will definitely be visiting this establishment more frequently.

Bright little restaurant with a friendly staff and a great mission

Meeting folks for lunch was Amazing. I had avocado toast and a golden milk latte. Absolutely the Best avocado toast I have ever had.. Latte was as well, but the toast… amazing
