Hot & Cold, part of the Bongo Java company, adds diversity to the cluster of restaurants and shops found in Hillsboro Village on 21st Avenue South. Hot & Cold, located on the same side of the street as Fido, features Bongo Java‘s coffee, a variety of tea mixes, Las Paletas, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams and a few treats to munch on. Not quite as packed as Fido, Hot & Cold is the perfect place to get in-and-out with an order. If you prefer to sit, you can enjoy free Wi-Fi while catching up with friends, or if you’re a loner, sit by yourself and pretend to do something important on your computer. Like Bongo Java, they have summer specialties. The flavors at Hot & Cold, which opened in November 2010, are more unique than just a cappuccino or plain vanilla. But if that’s how you like it, they’ll make it. On the walls, there is a full menu for you to read. Pricing is moderate and worth the quality. Hot & Cold’s location in Hillsboro Village makes it easier to find parking than some coffee shops on 12th Avenue South. Hot & Cold is open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday-Sunday 9 a.m. to 11...

Ooh La La! French cuisine in Nashville? I must be dreaming! But my eyes are open! Provence Cafe and Bakery has captured the essence of a typical French cafe. Provence Breads and Cafe is nestled in the heart of Hillsboro Village. Tucked between whimsical fascinations such as BookManBookWoman and Pangea, you will find an intimate cafe that will transport you to a place where brie and baguettes are king. Provence is the perfect place for a quick snack, yummy lunch date or even some dessert. I popped in a week ago and helped myself to Provence’s exquisite sampling of the french classic Eggs Benedict. I give it rave reviews. It was an excellent presentation of eggs cooked to perfection, topped with a succulent Hollandaise sauce to finish. The meal ended on a note much like it would in Paris with a sweet and crisp macaroon. (A light baked confection much like a margarine type cookie). It was, as the French say, “un manger parfait!” Next time you are craving a taste of authentic French fare, check out Provence and have a bit of Paris right here in the heart of Nashville. Bon appétit! Provence Breads & Cafe in Historic Hillsboro Village 1705 21st Avenue South Nashville, TN 37212 Monday through Friday 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. Saturday 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., Sunday 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. Free parking & second entrance located behind the building. 615-386-0363 Fax:...
