New experiences with a friend are my love language, so when I heard about in.grained.cafe in Nolensville, I knew I wanted to try it. Because einkorn flour.
I actually knew nothing about einkorn flour before rabbit holing prior to lunch. I learned that it is less processed and far less modified than modern wheat which aligns with my current eating ethos. I also learned that its gluten structure is weaker than most modern hybrid wheats. I’m usually cautious with wheat, so I was curious.
I went all in with the breakfast sandwich, and my friend ordered the special of the day, a grilled cheese with tomato soup. The bread was delicious. It reminded me a bit of Ezekiel bread, but denser and nuttier and fresher, of course.
The vibe inside in.grain is, in one word, welcoming. It feels like eating at a friend’s house and it smells like fresh grounds ☕️ … an intoxicating combo for sure.
If you want to visit, you will find them in the Carothers Farms neighborhood, home to a few Nolensville small businesses like Mrs. Sourdough (her door says “support your local dough dealer,” so cute) and the sweet folks at Pilates Mill.
