Two Germantown coffee stops have current reviews in The Infatuation’s Germantown coverage. Babychan, at 1313 Adams St, is a bakery and cafe that mixes French and Japanese cafe cultures and comes from the team behind Kisser. Neighborlily, at 606 Monroe Street, is a cafe and bar that, as the review puts it, “traded in their flowers for cocktails” (The Infatuation). If you remember Barista Parlor’s Germantown shop, it is gone: the brand closed its Germantown, Hillsboro Village, and Sylvan Supply locations in January 2026 (What Now Nashville).

Picking One

  1. For breakfast and pastry, go to Babychan.
  2. For a later coffee that can turn into a drink, go to Neighborlily, which stays open until midnight on Friday and Saturday.
  3. On a Monday, Neighborlily is closed, so plan around Babychan or a cafe near your next stop.
