Best Hot Drink in Nashville 2026: Babychan’s Hōjicha and Espresso
The next time you’re salivating over the bakery case at Babychan, trying to decide between a curry egg tart or the kurobuta sausage brioche (as if you’re not just going to get both), eschew your usual coffee order for a green tea latte. Hōjicha is made from green tea leaves roasted over charcoal, giving you a nuttier, smokier flavor that tastes like fall in Kyoto. Plop an espresso shot in there for good measure, and you’ll have a hot drink that’s just as delicious as the pastries that you’re double-fisting.
