Specialty coffee roasted to order, pastries baked from scratch, and a space that feels nothing like an airport. Pull up a chair, slow down, and taste the difference fresh makes.
We're not a grab-and-go afterthought. We're the reason people schedule layovers just to pass through Nashville.
Every batch is tracked from green bean to cup. We source single-origin lots and roast in small quantities so every pour tastes like it was made for someone you love.
Our ovens are running while the city is still asleep. Croissants, scones, and sourdough — all made from scratch every morning, served until they're gone.
No rushing. No fluorescent hum. Warm light, soft music, and seating that actually invites you to stay. Whether you have 10 minutes or an hour, we've got room for you.
Located inside Nashville International Airport at 1 Terminal Dr, we're easy to find and just steps from the gates — but a world away from the usual airport rush.
8th & Roast Coffee Co. started with a simple frustration: no matter how great a city was, its airport coffee always tasted like it gave up halfway through the bean. We decided to change that.
Located at 1 Terminal Dr in Nashville International Airport, we bring the same care, the same roaster, and the same oven you'd find at any neighborhood favorite — because you shouldn't have to land to leave your standards behind.
Every cup is pulled by baristas who know the difference between a good espresso and a great one. Every pastry is folded, proofed, and baked the way it should be. This is Nashville hospitality, served hot.

Travelers, locals, and frequent flyers who made us their stop before every flight.
"I've been flying out of BNA for fifteen years and this is the first airport coffee shop that made me want to arrive early just to sit and have a proper cup. The cortado here changed my entire pre-flight routine."
"The almond croissant is absolutely unreal — flaky, buttery, and clearly made that morning. I brought my out-of-town friends here and they said it was the best bakery experience they've had in Nashville."
"As a pilot, I've had coffee in airports across the country. 8th & Roast is the real deal — proper espresso, friendly staff who actually care, and a vibe that makes you forget you're in a terminal. This is the standard."
Warm light, steam rising, the sound of the grinder — this is what your next good moment looks like.
We're located inside Nashville International Airport, right at the main terminal. Pull up, order in, and make your wait the best part of the journey.
