Awaken your holiday spirit and revel in the holiday season with festive morning treats at the Espresso Bar - from seasonal lattes, featuring pumpkin spice and ginger snap, to our rotating pastry lineup, including Gingerbread Rolls with ribbons of gingerbread cookie filling, and Pumpkin Pie Danishes with pumpkin-butterscotch filling made with pumpkins from our local friends at The Farm & Fiddle.

Before dawn, there is a buzz of activity brewing in the pastry kitchen and Café Yolan's Espresso Bar, as the team prepares for the arrival of our SoBro neighbors taking a morning stroll, the downtown Nashville workers heading to the office or a morning shift, our friends of the Nashville Symphony preparing for rehearsal, and of course, our guests fueling up for a day of exploring the city.

The anticipation is palpable, the fresh-baked pastries are poised, and the espresso machine is revved. Welcome, Nashvillians!
