Babychan is a local coffee shop, bakery, and restaurant located in Nashville, TN. It is owned and operated by husband and wife chef team Brian Lea and Leina Horii, who started off as a farmers market stand and pop-up. It is the little sister to their first restaurant, Kisser.

Babychan is the childhood nickname of Japanese-American chef Leina Horii- it mixes the Japanese term of endearment chan and the English baby and loosely means “my little baby”.

It is a casual daytime coffee shop with a bakery counter and full service restaurant.

All bakery items are made in house, with fresh shokupan baked daily and served in the restaurant.
