Pretty good coffee and crepe shop. It's a big place with lots of space which is nice. The best thing you can get is the O.G breakfast sandwich get it on a biscuit with the chorizo and sub pepper jack cheese and you have one of the best biscuit sandwiches around. The thin griddled biscuit stands up to the chorizo and the egg gives some moisture with a hint of pepper from the cheese this Mexican biscuit is worth it. I do wish they'd do more with their biscuits even just a gravy biscuit platter would be nice. Beyond this awesome sandwich though not much else here that isn't at a dozen other coffee shops. Atmosphere is pretty plain but large tables great for groups. I cannot recommend the crepes at all just not good execution or concept. The Florentine crepe was described by my partner as someone's sad diet omelette. The taste was super bland, no seasoning and tasteless cheese shreds behind a plain stiff crepe that we couldn't finish. The mexi was a little better, crepe again thick and stiff but overall it was very wet and saucy accompanied by a plain salsa. Coffee was the butter beer which was warm and caramel tasting without being too cloying sweet so that was good. Overall for the nearly 50 dollars spent I was underwhelmed. If not for that one biscuit sandwich that saves this breakfast I'd have preferred somewhere else at this price point. I'll come back for the biscuits though.

My fiancé, dog, and I all LOVE the Red Bicycle. They serve the absolute best coffee, and we especially love the crepes. We frequent The Nations location, and are always greeted by such friendly staff, especially Courtney! Courtney knows our orders and has the best suggestions when we ask her about menu items. She even offers our dog a pup cup each visit! There are a plethora of good coffee spots in Nashville, but the Red Bicycle ranks #1 in our book!

Cool spot, good coffee, but they are dishonest about pricing. I ordered coffee first - on the menu it states that a 16 oz is 5 something, but then when I went to pay it was 7 something. Cool, fine, whatever. Didn’t question it. But then I decided I wanted a crepe. The menu CLEARLY says nutella AND your choice of banana or strawberry for $9. Total came out to $11 something. I asked why, the barista tells me that the bananas are an extra charge and aren’t included. I’m sorry, what? Didn’t get the crepe, felt there was some dishonesty there that I didn’t appreciate.

Been here a few times while visiting the city. The staff are always friendly and the food is tasty. Good selection for both brunch and lunch. The crepes and hot chicken have been my favorites but all of the food looks good. Worth checking out if you haven't been.

RB is the place. Crepes are fantastic, and honestly you can’t go wrong with any breakfast item. Coffee is slammin’ and atmosphere is suuuuper chill. Never had a bad experience with any of the staff, they are knowledgeable and kind. Hit them up if you’re in the Nations!

  • Brian Hicks

It’s always unfortunate when you spend $50 on breakfast only to have to toss your plates. My wife’s cinnamon roll crepe tasted like someone had sprinkled a bit of cinnamon on a plain crepe. My mexi crepe was inedible. While decent in size, the ratio of egg to other ingredients sucked. Huge clumps of egg without anything else with zero effort to blend the mixture and spread it evenly. S’mores latte was good. With prices where they are, it’ll be a hot minute before RBC gets another visit from us.

Truly fantastic coffee shop with great food options! There was some kind of kitchen fire earlier which gave the entire shop a smokey, burnt smell... Unfortunately, that smell followed me home through my clothes and bag. This did impact the atmospheric experience, but the drinks and food made up for it!

This is one of my go-to places for gluten sensitive fast-ish food. It’s delicious, affordable, and many items are already Gf or can be easily modified. The Balsamic Chicken Tacos on corn tortillas are an absolute fav!

My compliments to the chef. I had an amazing meal and you get a lot of food for the price. The service was good, but a little sheepish. Other than that, amazing. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys French cuisine

Needs more seating for parties of 1 or 2. Too many large tables for 8/10 and when people leave a "buffer" seat between parties at large tables a lot of space goes to waste. Food and coffee was delicious.

The lighting is not good in half of the restaurant. The tables/chairs are not clean or comfortable. And the music was pretty loud the last time I went in. Don’t really have much negative to say about any of the other 2 dozen coffee shops since moving to Nashville with the exception of 8&Roast in Melrose

I've been to one other location, but this one wasn't a great experience. Food took at least 35 minutes, possibly 45. I stopped counting so I wouldn't get mad. Food was very bland, unlike the other location. Coffee was mid. The seating is mostly in huge community style tables and many of them had only two people at them. Just awkward. The outside tables were dirty or in the sun.

I am in love with their Nutella Crepe. I always add a side of bacon to get the sweet & salty with my meals. Their coffee drinks are very good as well. It does get busy so plan ahead. They have this great outdoor space in the back with awesome shade. The wifi is great so it's a good spot to bring your laptop if you need to get some work done.

Red Bicycle is one of my favorite places to come. I might bring my work with me or simply come for a coffee -- either way the space is always clean and the vibe is always positive. I come here all the time and will continue to do so! (there's also a great outside space if you're wanting to come with a furry friend!)

We came in an hour before close and the staff was so kind and helpful. I'm gluten free and we do not have treats like this back home. We came for the crepes, they were amazing!!! But the tacos were even better!!! Make sure you get both to mix and match! So good! Thank you for great service and amazing food!
