Café Coco is a 24-hour cafe located at 210 Louise Avenue near Elliston Place in Nashville, Tennessee.[1][2] During the day it is primarily a coffee shop, and at night it has live music, poetry, and comedy.[3][4][5] It is one of Nashville's few non-chain 24-hour food establishments.[6]

The menu includes sandwiches, pasta, burgers, salad, pizza, cake, beer, coffee, and drinks.[7] Wi-fi is available for free.[7][8] College students and rappers frequent the cafe, and the cafe patio is often used by smoking patrons.[9][10][11]

The restaurant was also briefly Italian...[12]

The cafe was founded in 1995 by and was co-owned by Coco Vallis and still is owned by former New Yorker Chuck Cinelli (a third generation restaurateur), who are husband and wife.[13][8][14][15]

As of November 22, 2023 the restaurant closed permanently and in August 2024 it was announced that the space was to be repurposed into two new concepts.[16]
