Bongo Java

The pastries here are all amazing! In terms of meals the Bongo Basic is the go-to for me. Really cheap for a ton of great tasting food. For coffee , I recommend the Mocha or a Mochahontas .

The “basic” breakfast can’t be beat: $5 for eggs , hash browns , toast and a cup of joe. If you’re there during school season – beware – as it will be brimming with college students . Read more

Beautiful view from porch even on a dark evening. Husband ordered a drink that hasn't been on the menu for years and they remembered!

Fist-time visiting. Saw this place profiled on Food Network. Had the salmon plate and a "McBowl " specialty coffee . Fantastic!

The coffee is good here, and their seasonal drinks are fun!

Quick, get a table! The Belmont students will be in here studying!

Awesome coffee place right near the Belmont campus.

Can't go wrong with a bongo basic ! Only $5.65 (that's including tax) for two eggs , hashbrowns , two pieces of toast , and a cup of coffee :)

Bongo's porch is one of the best in Nashville and the espresso drinks are awesome. Also if you're not into parallel parking , don't forget about the gravel lot in the back (entrance behind Circle K.) Read more

They have improv shows upstairs every first and third Saturdays that are fantastic!

Great environment to hang out, chill on the porch , and the hot chocolate is amazing.

I've had some nice baristas! And the coffee is worth it anyway :) The Mochahontas is yummy. Wish everyone didn't smoke on the front porch though.

The coffee is pretty expensive , the the coffee isn't my personal preference. I've tried many coffee items but none are as good as Sam & Zoe's in my opinion

Wi-Fi password is "bongojavaguest". Not the most reliable connection though. Can get unusably slow at times. Decent number of outlets available. Coffee refills are $1.

Good coffee , small back room good for studying. Wi-fi password is bongojavaguest

Good bagels and breakfast burritos. Great local coffee .

Try the McBowl . It brings out the lucky side o' life.

If you hear a group of people talking about touring , just go talk to them. They are most likely in a band on tour , and could possibly be big! Robert Plant and Jack White are semi-regulars.

I love this place!! please open one in Brooklyn. It will be worth it :)

Get your coffee and sit on the porch to enjoy.

If you love hearing annoying barista's sing "Benny and the Jets", get some coffee here!

If you feel like you are being judged, it's because you probably are! I cannot believe you wore THAT to Bongo Java!

Breve is creamy, while the McBowl has great aroma and the right amount of swtness.

Breakfast is served all day. Try the Egg McBongo with bacon and mayonnaise .

The bongo basic breakfast with a little cheddar cheese on the eggs is the way to go!

You can use their free wifi for two hours--then they cut you off. Plan accordingly.

Soooo wish they'd at least make either the top of the porch or bottom SMOKE FREE. #mercy #needtobreath

If you are a coffee fan, it's great! If you like specialty drinks , the apple pie is AMAZING and I have heard the McBowl is good too.

Perfect place to get your Sunday started! Sit outside!

They have the best vegan muffins

The grilled cheese = delicious!

Little known fact....the chili is delicious.

Bongo Basic is a deal that can't be beat.

Try the jack-o-latte during season

Past the baristas follow the steps up to the right. There's a roomy table perfect for working if no one is there.

try the Mexican mocha , it has a touch of cayenne which amps up the chocolatey-yumminess!!

Great meeting place.

Yummy coffee . The lines can get a bit out of control... Try the fancy grilled cheese !

There's a regular customer that looks exactly like Robert Plant. FYI it is not Robert Plant

Problem is, they don't open til late - around 7:30 am, I think. And the staff is nowhere near as friendly ac Starbucks.

Pumpkin cheesecake and dark coffee with cream....WIN!!!

The granola is amazing!!

An Everything Breakfast Bagel and iced coffee is the best way to start the day

Chai Latte - iced - still the best ever.

The oatmeal is awesome!

Terrible wifi . Good food. Decent coffee .

An Icy samoan between classes is the best pick me up ever.

Get the Salmon Plate . You will not be sorry!

The original Nashville coffee shop .
