Nashville has welcomed the newly remodeled and expanded Matryoshka Coffee, which reopened its doors on May 6, 2025. This vibrant café has transformed from its previous 300-square-foot location to a spacious 960-square-foot building, which became available after the local espresso tech company Technico vacated the premises in 2024. The renovations have significantly enhanced the café’s capacity while maintaining its fun and intimate atmosphere.
Matryoshka Coffee aims to serve as a welcoming hub for coffee enthusiasts of all levels, from novices to professionals, providing a diverse and creative drink menu. Signature beverages like the “Confetti Cuban,” which incorporates sprinkles and glitter, are just a glimpse of the imaginative offerings available. The café is equipped with high-quality coffee machines, including a two-group Slayer Steam LP espresso machine and a Nuova Simonelli Mythos Clima Pro grinder, ensuring that the beverages are crafted to perfection. Additionally, a BUNN G3 grinder is utilized for drip coffee, capable of grinding fine enough for single shots of espresso.
In a commitment to sustainability, Matryoshka Coffee uses compostable disposables and collaborates with a local composting company. Customers are also encouraged to bring their own cups for which they receive discounts. This focus on environmental responsibility is a core aspect of the café’s philosophy.
The design of the new space showcases a maximalist style, characterized by vibrant colors and eye-catching decor. Led by designer Abbey Chiavario, the new layout includes a larger bar area that has doubled the café’s seating capacity. Collaborations for cabinetry were conducted with Claro Studios in Nashville, while Red Rock Tileworks provided the tiling. A mural painted by Chiavario adds a unique touch to the ambiance, further enhancing the inviting setting of the café.
To celebrate its reopening, Matryoshka Coffee held a Valentine’s Day-themed fundraising event featuring off-menu drink specials. A portion of the proceeds from select drinks was donated to The Equity Alliance, showcasing the café’s dedication to community engagement.
The café’s menu has recently garnered attention, receiving a Sprudge Design Award for outstanding menu design. Customers can expect a rotating selection of coffee sourced from both local and nationally recognized roasters, ensuring fresh and diverse options for coffee lovers.
As Nashville continues to thrive as a hub for coffee culture, Matryoshka Coffee’s new expansive and colorful space offers an exciting destination for coffee enthusiasts to enjoy high-quality beverages in a lively, welcoming environment.
