Bonbons and chocolate bars steal the show at Poppy & Peep. A father and daughter duo opened this mega-popular chocolate shop, which also features a mini-factory where they create all of their confections. Everyone will find a treat to love here, from inventively flavored, melt-in-your-mouth bonbons to hibiscus and pomegranate white chocolate.
Take a look at their Bon Bon Flavor Guide before you go or simply let your heart lead the way once you arrive. Poppy & Peep also sells chocolate on their website so you can satisfy your cravings long after you’ve left Nashville.
Not a chocolate fan? Grab a jar of their Bourbon Caramel Sauce for a different kind of sweet treat.
Whether you’ve been to Nashville or not, chances are you’ve heard of Nashville hot chicken. Treat yourself to some of the best at Hattie Bs’s. Hot chicken is freshly fried chicken with seasoning that’s both a little spicy and a little sweet. At Hattie B’s, you can opt for a sandwich piled high with chicken, slaw, and more, or go for a plate where the chicken can be the star of the show.
Add a cold drink to your order to cool off between bites, and don’t forget Hattie B’s Dirty Bird Fries, topped with pimento mac and cheese, dark meat tender bites, and Nashville Comeback Sauce.
Make sure to be there right when they open to beat the line.
It’s not a trip to Nashville without a honky tonk bar. But if you only have time to visit one, make it Robert’s Western World.
