See how Beth Haley spend an afternoon in the Wedgewood Houston neighborhood.

Wedgewood Houston is at the center of Nashville’s ever-expanding art community, with local galleries, studios, and workshops as evidence. A former warehouse district south of downtown, this cutting-edge neighborhood has risen in popularity for young and established makers, appreciators of art, and entreprenuers. Plus, there is plenty to eat and drink at the many restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries.

A bright open space abuzz with locals, this is a coffee shop you can feel good about. Humphreys Street is designed to raise up leaders in the community by employing students and reinvesting their profits into programs and scholarships to support students. And the coffee is as good as the mission.
