Since Red Bicycle in The Nations closed, West Nashville’s roving band of remote workers has been without a home. I finally found the herd at Retrograde, and they’re there for good reason. The City Heights coffee shop is clean, bright and comfortable, and it serves my new favorite thing on toast: light, whipped feta and luxurious prosciutto on crispy toast, topped with spice and olive oil. The result is salty, creamy, lightly spicy and perfect — the kind of dish you’d typically find at a fancy Germantown brunch (but at a fraction of the cost or fuss).
