Reviews for Cafe Lula at the Ryman in Nashville, TN
Fabulous. Great coffee and espresso drinks, plus snacks, lunch and dinner menu. Clean, friendly and quick. Perfect to grab a... decent bite downtown anytime, or certainly before your show at the Ryman. Read more
Really good food. Not an overpriced tourist go-to, it is a place to get a full serving of yummy chicken chili, a fabulous... juicy burger or other great meals at competitive prices. A bit loud but with the preshow crowds it needs to be. If you don'ttry the chips you will miss a treat. Read more
Stopped in here because of a family tie to the name of the Cafe... the set up was nice. It was easy to order. The servers were... attentive. However, of the two beverages ordered (a lemonade and a Lula House Blend Coffee with coconut milk & vanilla syrup),only one of these was palatable. The lemonade was phenomenal, tasting of fresh squeezed lemons and the right amount of sugarmaking for a delicious combination of sweet and tart, exactly how I remember it at my family reunions. However, the coffee,which I expected to at least be fine, if not dang delicious bearing the name of the joint, was acidic, bitter and lacking anyhint of a vanilla addition. In fact, I sadly ended up not even being able to finish my almost $5 cup of regular coffee andhaving to toss it out. In short, grab a lemonade, a brief rest and be on your way to check out the rest Nashville has to offer! Read more
Met up with a couple of friends before going to see a show at the Ryman and hung out here for about an hour. Ordered a couple of... drinks which were rather expensive ($15 for a simple cocktail) but good. We didn't order any food but the other patron's disheslooked pretty high quality/appetizing. All in all, not a terrible place to pop into before a show. Read more
Came here on a freezing cold weekday afternoon and it was empty. Not what I expected for a ?must-visit? tourist location. Menu... is limited, but the food is good. Serving size for the salad was huge. Staff could have been more friendly, especially since itwas quiet. Read more
Spent the day there at a conference hosted on-site. The staff was amazing and were able to anticipate everyone's needs. If... they saw an empty drink - they filled it, dirty plate - they picked it up. The food was excellent. There was several options sothere was something for even the pickiest of eaters. I also enjoyed the overall vibe/decor of the cafe. It was bright (lots ofwindows) and lively. Read more
The food here is well-executed with a nice, small menu. However, the service I had was poor. 3 front of house employees that... seemingly were doing nothing while we waited for service. The only competent person was the line cook in the open kitchen, whodelivered our food in a timely manner (before we received our drinks). It's frustrating to wait for service and products you'vepaid for while employees are standing around on their phone and talking to the musician. Nice concept but needs better employeetraining.

Good vibes, great music, sublime spicy chickpea burger! I want to visit again before I go, and that?s saying a lot for being in... Nashville for just a few days?s visit. Don?t miss this little gem- stop for a London Fog and a muffin after your must tour ofthe Ryman Auditorium. You?ll be glad you did! Read more
