Stay Golden

Stay Golden is a breakfast and brunch restaurant and coffee shop in The Nations, West Nashville, open seven days a week. It's bright and minimal, with tall windows, comfortable seating and a patio with picnic tables.

The coffee is roasted by their sister company, Good Citizen Coffee, and served within two weeks of roasting. The syrups are house-made. The Brandy Vanilla Latte is the favorite, and the Gingerbread Man Latte has fans too. The biscuits are a big draw, in regular and gluten-free versions. The Southern Staple with Nashville hot chicken is a standout, and the breakfast potatoes and Cuban-inspired dishes are good too. Every bag of beans comes with a free cup of coffee.
