This week is National Small Business Week, so we asked you to show your favorite locally-owned places some extra love.

Here’s what you had to say about your favorite shops, restaurants, and services.

“Caliber Coffee [in] Donelson. The avocado toast on homemade focaccia is my favorite food in town. I crave it daily! More importantly, they are great people on a great mission! Check out their ‘Our Shot of Grace’ board!” — Whitney S.

“I love e.Allen! Woman-owned, stylish clothes, and great customer service!” — Theresa M.

“I love Nashville Pet Products because they have a wider selection of products than big box stores. They always offer help and personal advice about what might meet your pet’s needs!” — Carson C.

“Voodoo Gumbo in Bellevue for excellent food and excellent service.” — Ed H.

“Simply a Fan is a small business that organizes trips to sporting events and tells stories about fans and how they became a fan. I love that this business creates opportunities for community between fans and meet people who share a common interest.” — Beth J.

“RMS, aka Roy’s Meat Service, might have the nicest bunch of people I have ever met.” — Patrick S.

“I knew Midtown’s Sarabhas Creamery would be a go-to spot for ice cream and chai when I first visited in 2022. I love the iced rose chai paired with a scoop of butterscotch or vegan mango. — City Editor Dylan

Dr. Correll and the team at Dental Haus Germantown always get me in and out of appointments quickly and thoroughly explain what they’re seeing each time I visit so that I can stay on top of my dental routine. The office atmosphere is just an added bonus. — City Editor Skylar
