While they serve coffee, E+Rose is not a coffee shop, but I believe it doesn’t receive the recognition it deserves. E+Rose identifies as a wellness café, founded by a dietitian with a focus on using only plants and superfoods in everything on the menu. While some may assume that prioritizing nutrition compromises taste, they would be mistaken. Everything at E+Rose is not only unique but also incredibly flavorful, so much so that it’s hard to believe how healthy it all is!From their smoothies and bowls to toasts and market items, E+Rose is redefining what fast, nutritious eating can be. With an emphasis on whole foods, sustainability, and community engagement, this café stands out as more than just a place to grab a quick bite. It’s a movement toward better eating and better living.
The Story Behind E+Rose
E+Rose has an inspiring story. It was founded by Robbie Nowinski, who developed the café after years of research and experience in the healthcare field. During his time in healthcare, Robbie realized that poor nutrition was a major factor in many preventable illnesses. He strongly believed that what we eat has a profound impact on overall health and saw a need for accessible, whole-food-based quick-service options. This vision led to the creation of E+Rose.
The name E+Rose is a tribute to Robbie’s grandmothers and mother, women he deeply admired for their strength and character. The business is built on three core values that he saw reflected in them: always putting others first, treating everyone with the utmost respect, and demonstrating hard, honest work. These values are at the heart of everything E+Rose does, from sourcing ingredients to customer service.
What Sets E+Rose Apart
E+Rose’s motto, “Eat Well, Be Kind,” perfectly encapsulates its mission. Their commitment to all-natural, whole foods is just one of the things that sets them apart. Every salad is made from scratch, their breads are locally sourced, and their juices are organic and pressed locally. They are intentional about offering nutrient-dense, minimally processed foods that not only nourish the body but also taste amazing.
Additionally, they make it a point to use eco-friendly practices whenever possible. From compostable packaging to sustainable ingredient sourcing, E+Rose isn’t just about personal wellness, it’s about environmental wellness too.
Menu Highlights
E+Rose offers a variety of nutritious and delicious options, including smoothies, smoothie bowls, toasts, coffees, teas, and market items such as wraps, salads, and protein balls. The diversity in their menu ensures that whether you’re in the mood for something light and refreshing or rich and indulgent, there’s something for you.
My Personal Favorite: The Smoothie Bowls
I’m absolutely hooked on E+Rose smoothie bowls, and I find myself visiting at least once every other week. They are the perfect combination of delicious and nutritious, making them a guilt-free treat that leaves me feeling satisfied and energized.
My Go-To Order: The Nomad Smoothie Bowl
The Nomad Smoothie Bowl, a blend of peanut butter and chocolate, is to die for. One of the best things about E+Rose is the ability to customize your order. They offer an array of add-ins for both the blended base and toppings, including nut butters, fresh fruits, bee pollen, cocoa nibs, coconut, chia seeds, granolas, honey, and protein options. I always add spinach to the base and coconut flakes on top, hands down the best smoothie bowl I’ve ever had! This bowl is an absolute must-try.
Best Smoothie: Dark Magic
For a high-protein boost, I love the Dark Magic smoothie, which includes almond milk, dark cherries, cocoa powder, almond butter, vanilla, and pea protein. I like to add chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition. This smoothie is perfect for post-workout recovery or as a filling snack during a busy day.
A Must-Try Toast: The Fig Toast
E+Rose’s toasts are another standout. My absolute favorite is the Fig Toast, made with locally fermented sourdough, almond butter, organic strawberries, figs, honey, and flax seeds. The combination of flavors is unbeatable! The slight tartness of the strawberries paired with the sweetness of the honey and figs creates the perfect balance. Plus, the added crunch from the flax seeds gives it a nice texture.
Community & Local Collaborations
Beyond its incredible menu, E+Rose actively supports local businesses through partnerships and events. Over the past year, they’ve collaborated with Forza Pilates Studio, TrueForm, Skin Pharm, PVolve, and many more. These partnerships often include specialty smoothies or bowls created in collaboration with the brands, along with exclusive events.
Some of the local events E+Rose has hosted include:
• Sip & Sculpt Mat Pilates – A fun fitness event combining exercise and smoothies.
• Mama Miles – A walking club for moms, perfect for staying active and social.
• Wellness from Within – A community-focused event centered around holistic wellness.

Why E+Rose is Worth the Hype
It’s no surprise that E+Rose has been voted the #1 juice bar, smoothie shop, and smoothie bowl spot in Nashville. They have truly mastered the art of balancing nutrition and flavor while building a strong sense of community.
Since launching in Nashville, their success has led to expansion into Atlanta, and I have no doubt that this is just the beginning. With their growing popularity, I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing locations pop up in even more cities soon.
If you haven’t yet, I highly recommend checking out one of their locations or ordering online for delivery or pickup! Whether you’re a , E+Rose is absolutely worth a visit.
