Best New Kid on the Rock Block in Nashville 2026: Verna Café & Bar
When Verna moved into the former home of Café Coco, it had big shoes to fill. But the Rock Block’s newest cafe has undeniably risen to the challenge. Every aspect of Verna, from its homey decor to its lineup of community events and its creative Japanese/Creole menu radiates care and intention. Do yourself a favor and stop in for some NOLA rice cakes and Thai tea French toast (or a drink at the Backbar), and start making some new memories in that well-loved old house.
