Best Trend for a Day Out in Nashville 2026: Museum Cafes
It used to be that you went to the museum for the attraction and then you went somewhere else for lunch. A collection of new museum cafes means you can linger on site and not compromise. Perenn offers breakfast, lunch and baked goods at Cheekwood. Andrew and Rachel’s Café at Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage serves Frothy Monkey coffee, Jackalope Brewing Co. beers and Arrington Vineyards wine. Order kids’ lunch boxes or picnic baskets in advance. Café Cheeserie is a light-filled (and cheese-filled) option at the Frist Art Museum. But don’t get so tempted by the food that you forget to look at the art.
