With Kira Lynn

Wanna Spoon, the first cereal bar in Nashville, serves a variety of classic cereal bowls that evoke nostalgia. You can customize your bowl, ice cream swirl, or milkshake by mixing cereals of your choice. Along with its charming photo-op mural walls like “Spooned in Nashville,” where you can sit in a giant spoon, Wanna Spoon has a life-size cow named “Coco” for you to “milk,” firepits on the front lawn to roast s’mores and more.

 

My music career brought me to Nashville from Canada, and I recently released my latest singles, “Colorado” and “Deeper.” One of the many things Wanna Spoon has taught me is that you can have more than one dream. Growing up, I started every morning with a classic bowl of cereal with my dad, and then sometimes another bowl for a late-night snack. Needless to say, I LOVE cereal and the memories around it. Not knowing at the time that there were some cereal bars out there, I started envisioning what my very own cereal bar would look like. It was something I spoke about so often that my parents advised me to come up with a business plan and a name… which then became Wanna Spoon!

 

The stars truly aligned when I got introduced to Steve Kovach and his wife Alane Kovach. At the time, they were getting ready to open Emery, one of their newer restaurants on 12^th South. The power duo had a house attached to that property and were trying to figure out how to use that space. I shared with them my vision, never thinking in a million years that this cereal bar would come to fruition, but it did! I will always be thankful to them for taking a chance on me and believing not only in this whimsical vision but believing in me as an entrepreneur. I have learned priceless experience from being in business with them and there’s still so much to learn with this being my first business. It was the perfect partnership because Alane had a vision of her own coffee shop one day. We call Alane coffee queen for a reason as she truly put so much research and time into finding the best barista equipment as well as the best roasting beans for Wanna Spoon. 

 

We are so proud and humbled when we see all the kids and families smiling, enjoying an atmosphere we did our best to create. From coffee, cereal, ice cream, milkshakes, local baked goods, mural walls, s’mores, corn hole, and an extensive line of merchandise, we have something for everyone to enjoy!
