Reviews
“The Prickly Pear Coffee cart was one of the best parts of our wedding day by far! Annika was so easy to work with along the way while planning everything out. Our guests absolutely loved her drinks & our custom drink was such a sweet touch to the day! I want to get married every weekend just so we can hire her again!”

Prickly Pear served their coffee at my wedding reception and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved it and still talks nonstop about it. Annika and her team were extraordinary and I would recommend them to anyone, for any event! Or even for just fantastic coffee!

“I have known Annika since she had the dream to build this place and it does not disappoint! She has used her gifts to open this beautiful shop in Nashville with delicious drinks like the honey lavender latte and Hibiscus iced tea lemonade (they are so delicious and refreshing). You will not regret stopping by(:”
