Vannie’s Table started as a simple idea around our own kitchen table: what if our neighborhood had a place that felt like home the moment you walked in? A spot where you could grab groceries, sip a great cup of coffee or a glass of wine, say hi to familiar faces, and feel connected to the people around you.

We’re Emily and Brock Pries, and along with our daughter Savannah (“Vannie”), we set out to create the kind of corner market we always wished existed in the Clifton Avenue community. Inspired by the convenience of NYC bodegas, the warmth of European neighborhood cafés and bars, and the hospitality of our Midwestern roots, we built a place that brings all three together — with a Nashville heartbeat.

Vannie’s Table is more than a market. It’s a place for neighbors to gather, linger, recharge, and feel known. You’ll find local goods, curated groceries, quick meals, fresh drip coffee, beer and wine on tap, and plenty of little touches that make this space feel personal: community events, a suggestion mailbox, familiar faces, and that “pull up a seat” energy we love.

Everything we do comes back to connection — sharing food, supporting local makers, and building something the whole neighborhood can be proud of. This isn’t just our store. It’s our story. And now, it’s yours too.

Welcome to Vannie’s Table. We saved you a seat.
