The Trailer Perk

While all reviews are subjective, I would like to think that anyone would agree that Trailer Perk serves good coffee. What makes it good? The Southern charm you get with some good coffee! They have updated the trailer but the service is the same great service you always get.
I just had a Cuban coffee from them and speaking from having the original in Miami, theirs is just as good! The next time they are back at Emdeon, I’m there for my coffee fix!

I’ll just be honest and tell you that I don’t enjoy reading. I want to be the sort of person that likes to read, but I’m just not. And I’m fine with that.
I do, however, like coffee. My husband used this fact to lure me to McKay’s bookstore one Sunday, noting that Trailer Perk parks itself out in their parking lot. So, I forewent brunch and braved the bookstore just to try some of their offerings.
Let’s start with the appearance. The Trailer Perk is CUTE with a real kitschy vibe, but no one is going to remember your name if the most visible words on your business say something different. Seriously, I thought the place was called «Coffee Y’all» until I wrote this review. Coffee Y’all isn’t a bad name for a Nashville Coffee Truck. I get the whole pun thing, but I think they should reconsider.
Of course, who cares about the name if the food is good? Trailer Perk serves solidly good coffee and they get extra points for offering almond milk as a milk alternative. They also bake their own blueberry and strawberry scones, which impressed me until I tasted them. They taste very much like they came from a box mix, which is just not worth my money.
In the end, though I enjoyed my coffee enough, I probably won’t be making my way out to Trailer Perk again. McKays is pretty far to the west, and like I said, I don’t read. The Trailer Perk is serves a good cup of coffee, but it’s not worth a drive, and that’s what makes it 3 stars in my book.

Adorable!!! But it’s pretty spendy. I’m paying for the convenience for sure. Standard lattes and such all sold by a woman with a fantastic attitude! I give it five stars if she wasn’t so expensive ($ 2 more than the chains on a drink).

Cute and a pretty good location in front of McKays but they’re really expensive for just regular drinks. My cousin got a Vanilla Bean frappé but it didn’t taste like Vanilla Bean. It’s good if you’re really really thirsty but otherwise, a waste of money

The Trailer Perk may very well have the best good ol’ drip coffee in Nashville! Coffee and hot chocolate (also delicious!) was a nice treat to go with used book shopping on my last trip to McKay’s (Trailer Perk is/​was in the parking lot). The proprietor was super friendly and made our drinks in a flash! As a Northwest transplant/​obnoxious coffee snob, I’ve found most of the coffee in Nashville to be horribly disappointing – Fido and all Bongo affiliates, that means you, too – so the Trailer Perk was a happy find and a very, very nice surprise.

This is the cutest food truck ever. It acts like it’s a trashy trailer with an astroturf lawn, but it is adorable.
They have a variety of coffee, like any coffee shop.
I went with a café latté. It was good. I thought it was a little pricy, though. The barista was very friendly. They also have a very small food menu. I didn’t try anything.
Their website says they are cash only, but I found out they take cards, after I went to the ATM.
