The coffee shop company is based out of Nashville, Tennessee, but said it sources coffee from all over the world.

"The goal of our roaster is to have a really direct connection with all the places we source coffee from. So that's a really big care of Barista Parlor," said Caleb Newman, assistant general manager. "We also care a lot about the customer experience and make sure that people are having a great time from when they walk in the door, to when they leave."
