A Magical Coffee Experience at Ravenwood!

 I feel my age shows in how many coffee shops in Clarksville that I absolutely adore. A twenty-something is always in need of coffee, and Clarksville has provided some excellent experiences to find a good frappachino (as well as some less milkshake-esque coffee for those who actually enjoy how coffee tastes). While Ravenwood isn't as close to the Austin Peay campus as it once was, it is thankfully still open and in range of anyone seeking something a little more special than a Starbucks drink.

Ravenwood coffee can be considered a magical experience as their little shop brings in elements of fantastical media such as Harry Potter. Their Butterbeer drink, one of many alternatives to coffee they offer, is Universal Studios quality-- maybe even better. With an upbeat staff and cozy space, this little coffee shop is a great spot to go by with friends if you're on Fort Campbell Blvd! You can find it specifically at 2609 Fort Campbell Blvd Suite B.

Wicked Good is Wicked Good!

Wicked Good Sandwiches in Clarksville, TN, is definitely a college student favorite (this post being college student approved). I have been getting lunch and dinner from this killer sandwich shop since I was introduced to it a little over a year ago-- I have gone more times than I can possibly count. Being the adventurous person I am, I have tried about half the menu at this point and I can tell you right away that everything I have tried has become my new favorite. It's always such a struggle to decide what to get when I go! Should I go with The Green Monstah, featuring bratwursts and pepperoncini? Or maybe the College Street Burger, which was the first thing I ever had at Wicked Good, with crispy tortillas instead of a bun. One way or another, I know I'm going to get Gov's Sauce with my fries. I would probably buy Gov Sauce by the bottle if it was sold that way.

If you have doubts, though, I can give you my mother's raving review! After getting my hair cut last month, she decided we should go to the restaurant I called my favorite in town. "I want to see if it's everything my daughter has been telling me it is," she told the waitress who came to our booth. Of course, it definitely was. After my mom struggled with what to get, she let me order for us both. She got the College Street Burger, a good first Wicked Good meal, and I tried out the Southwest Burger because I was craving something spicy-- definitely satisfied by the cheddar-jack cheese and jalapeños! And of course, we both got our fries with Gov Sauce.

The first thing mom spotted was the tortillas. She was so inspired by those that she made our turkey burgers with tortillas the next day! But after that first bite into a College Street Burger, she was sold. When the waitress came by to ask how we were doing, my mother kept her a minute just to tell her how much she loved the food.

Wicked Good is also a great spot to check out up and coming musicians and bands. Just in March, their schedule shows six cool events-- a St. Patrick's Day dance party, a few bands, and Family Fun Karaoke? Sign me up! But if you're looking for a quiet dinner, don't worry, most events are on Saturdays, or you can even call and pick up your food for a movie night at home!

A two-time award winner of Best of Clarksville, and the Leaf Chronical's Reader's Choice Winner for Favorite Place for a Quick Lunch 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, rest assured a lunch at Wicked Good is well worth the money. It's mom approved! So be sure to go and check it out at 605 Cumberland Dr. in Clarksville, Tennessee. It is open every day but Sunday, 10am to 8pm. And remember to ask for Gov Sauce with your fries!
