48 Best Coffee Shops near Lookout Mountain

“Great Starbucks! This is the old stone building and the inside atmosphere is great! Lots of seating! Great place to get work done. Iced pecan latte was really good. The reason it is four stars is because they do not take cash. Which is unfortunate because cash is still a modern currency.“

“Very clean. Lots of beautiful cats to play with and pet. They gave us treats to feed the cats. Very friendly staff.“

“Cadence coffee company was a great stop on our trip to Chattanooga. Delicious egg sausage sandwich, strawberry smoothie, and of course, coffee! I highly recommend you stop there. Great ambience and friendly staff.“

“Just happened to find this place on our way out of Chattanooga heading back home. I have to say this was the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. I wish y’all were in our home town!“

“What a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee with your friends. That is only second to their purpose and their cause! I recommend everyone stop in there and enjoy the atmosphere.“

“I have been coming here since I was a child. this place has gone waaaaay downhill. It's absolutely disgusting. Staff is rude, floors are dirty, tables are sticky, and the drinks take forever. We waited 20 minutes to place our order and an additional 20 to get our iced coffee. We didn't even order food. Waffle House would have been better than here.“

“BEST food in Chattanooga! An absolute must-try. Incredible sandwiches, burritos, smoothies, and tea. Everything we had was fresh, flavorful, and filling.

We stumbled upon Real Roots Cafe while visiting Chattanooga and loved it so much we ended up coming back for three consecutive meals. The portions are generous, the prices are affordable, and there are so many great 100% plant-based options.

One of the best vegan restaurants we’ve been to. We’ll absolutely be back anytime we’re in Chattanooga!“

“Scooters is always a nice coffee shop to visit, though this one in particular appears to be under construction, so you can't enjoy a visit by going inside. It is currently drive through only. The drinks are usually very well made, and almost always very enjoyable, though it has been my experience that most drinks are overpowering with the strong coffee taste. The employees are always friendly and top notch, so they're a wonder to see each time“

“I have a blanket and several other handmade pieces from Amani. They are beautifully colored and of outstanding quality! I love what Amani stands for and fully support this ministry.“

“absolutely delicious coffee“

“Amazing find! Cozy atmosphere... lot of great options to choose from, we ordered nachos for the table, seitan sandwich with sweet potatoe mash, dumplings, turkey sandwich and salad.
Everything was phenomenal ✨ Great taste and generous portions to share.
If you’re looking for vegan food, definitely try out this place ans you won't be disappointed 😋“

“Hands down best coffee shop ever! Whitney is awesome!“

“I came in August 8th in need of a pick me up, both mentally physically. I left sufficiently caffeinated and with a smile on my face. All thanks to the baristas; A young woman with a nose ring and the best laugh I've ever heard and a young man wi/h braids who can carry on a sensible conversation with anyone about nearly anything! The iced mocha latte takes an equal share in making my day!“

“We were in town celebrating my 50th birthday and were feeling a bit thirsty and stumbled into this place. As we were getting the low down from Ashley, we realized....wait! This is little buzz in a drink! Boom! The day suddenly was AMAZING! Ashley was super awesome explaining everything including dosing amounts and drink flavors. Day one we settle in with some cold strawberry lemonades and absolutely had ourselves a dose! What an amazing afternoon we ended up having! Sat by the river and enjoyed every second 😆🙃
Day two we were heading home and slide back through for a delicious coffee to enhance our drive home.
Highly recommend this awesome place! Also sit and enjoy your drink there and then hit the bathroom. What a trip😂

We'll see you again Wake and Bakery! 💃“

“I’ve been a regular for over 20 years from the beginnings on the north shore. Keeps getting better.“

“Very cute place and lovely lady working the register and making drinks!! Their seasonal Sweden syrup was great and I love that all of their syrups are homemade. I do wish my latte was larger, older photos show drinks that were probably double the size from two years ago. But I can empathize with coffee being super expensive now. I would come back but probably not for coffee. Next time I’ll try their drinks!!“

“Simply delicious, especially considering I had a healthy option, namely the Protein Scramble. They were nice enough to accommodate my request for 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites in the scramble. The addition of the goat cheese is not one I would have thought of, but a welcome addition nonetheless. Added bonus is that the coffee here is more than decent.“

“Had my daughter’s wedding shower at Canopy this past weekend . I could not ask for a better place . I highly recommend you to use this for a shower or special event . Everyone was so nice so helpful. The place is so cute and perfect for this occasion. Last but not least the best mimosas we have ever had.10 out of 10 for sure. Thank you for everything you did .“

“extremely welcoming environment. best coffee in town, best people around“

“I have been coming to Chattanooga every year for 15 years since my grandma lives here and we recently discovered Chattz last November on our trip and we now make it a must have every morning of our trip! We had the Eleanor Raspberry which was delish and got my toddler a slushy lemonade with strawberry 🍓 and it was so yum also, he drank it until the last drop! (The strawberry blended in is the way to go 😉) The baristas are just as awesome as their drinks! A wonderful little place on South Broad“

“This Hotel is an eclectic mixture of the unique art and the modern class! The dining experience and lounge is a must for complete relaxation! Overlooking downtown Chattanooga and the captivating views of the beautiful river! This is at the top of my list of favorites!“

“The atmosphere was great my barista Rachel did an excellent job and was extremely friendly and whoever made the cinnamon rolls really deserves a raise. I drove all the way from Alabama just to get the cinnamon rolls. I love mean mugs. It’s such a great establishment and well priced with friendly staff“

“Back in my day, I remember when I was a student and I used to frequent this place. I have fond memories here getting a latte and working on my assignments and lectures.

Recently I came back after a couple years and I got an Iced Lavender Latte with soy milk. It was pretty good, though I feel like it was a little more milkier than I'd prefer. It didn't blend together with the espresso as well as I'd hope. I wish the espresso shined through more. Other than that, I still enjoyed my latte. I also ordered a S'mores scone I believe. I forget the exact name but I knew it had chocolate in it, and I really liked that.

All in all, this place was good and service was timely. We ordered at the counter inside so I can't say about the ordering process and timing for the drive through. To me it didn't taste as good as my college days, and maybe it's the nostalgia and romanticizing that part of my life back then lol, but I'd still recommend this place.“

“Great coffee, great food, great customer service! Lovely atmosphere, charming owners (I might be biased cause I know them ❤️🤗). If you want some great chicken salad, you must try it! It's soooo good, you'll be wanting more!“

“If you’re in Chattanooga and love a well-crafted latte, Culture Coffee Co. is a must-visit! My wife and I stopped by on our way home to Norris, TN and tried the Irish Jig latte—an incredible mix of cinnamon, maple, nutmeg, Irish cream, and more. It was smooth, flavorful, and just the right balance of spice and sweetness. Easily one of the best seasonal drinks I’ve ever had! The shop itself has a great vibe—cozy, inviting, and perfect for grabbing a cup to-go or enjoying a seat there. Their attention to quality and detail in every cup is very clear, and the branding is on point. If you’re a coffee lover, put Culture Coffee Co. at the top of your list. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“This is a locally owned drive-thru only coffee shop. You have to be very careful when driving in because it is counterintuitive and you can easily end up going the wrong way. You do not order at the speaker but pull to the window to order. I got a hazelnut bliss and it was amazing. The service was friendly with good eye contact, knowledgeable about the products and articulate. However the interaction felt very rushed even though there was no one in line. This would have been five stars if the person had been more conversational and the signage for navigating the drive-thru had been clear. But really like the coffee and will certainly be back.“

“A really nice breakfast spot that opens helpfully early on a weekday. The breakfast plate was great - a decent helping of fresh fruit, a biscuit some good eggs and bacon. The service was also strong and efficient. The pumpkin spice latte was nice, but my preference is for it to be served hotter than was standard here.

Decor is nice and plenty of space for people to spread and enjoy the food and drink.“

“Tried the trial spicy chai today and it was delicious! Got it hot with oat milk. Hope this becomes a permanent menu item!!! I can't drink coffee and it's difficult to find a coffee shop that doesn't serve overly sweet chai with little or no spice.“

“Five Stars for sure. I Love this place ! Best espresso of any coffee shops around….hands down. So much better than Starbucks! I visit 3-4 times a week and all of the staff are incredibly friendly. They remember me and usually remember my order. Their service is quick and efficient despite the tiny space.“

“My guilty pleasure. The best!“

“Good Morning! Normally I just go through the drive through but today I decided to go inside to pickup my mobile order and I am so glad I did. Everyone should go inside every once in a while to see what is actually happening to make everything come out of that window. There were 7 employees that I could see, constantly moving and creating. They all worked like a well oiled machine and I never once saw one of them standing still while I waited for my order. During these times where places such as this are typically short staffed and exhausted I feel like this situation should be absolutely commended because they not only were they actively working, they were friendly and accurate and communicative with the customers and each other. I truly hope this reaches someone who can appreciate their amazing efforts and thank them for being there as well as praise them. Thanks for a great morning experience!“

“We spent quite a lot of time here in the mornings and/or early afternoon while our children did some homework - before embarking on the day’s activities. The staff, all of them, and especially Lindsay, were super welcoming and patient! They took time to listen to our kids (who wanted to order themselves and were always asking for knives/spoons/etc for their food), were super kind, and FAST! No matter how busy the place got, and no matter how busy the drive through was, they still managed to multitask spectacularly and give us their attention.

The place is clean, tidy, and the bathrooms are kept up to very clean standards. There’s plenty of seating areas of various kinds (couches, tables, outdoor seating) and everything is kept clean.

Quite notably, when you walk in, the staff say “Welcome in!” That always put a smile on our faces and made us feel extra welcome.

Of course, the coffee was always made to the highest standard and all modification requests were followed! We will miss our regular coffee spot while we’re away and hope to come back soon as it has the coffee we love and the feel of a local cozy coffee shop!“

“Favorite coffee shop! Our run group meets here after our Friday morning run every week. Environment is awesome and staff ROCKS! We stop in every Sunday on our way to church. And it's my go-to spot when I need a work-away-from-the-office spot. Huge fan. 10 out of 10“

“First time at this location, tried the Oreo and PB Chiller not expecting much but I actually loved the drink. The drive thru employees were nice and the service was quick! Typically come to Dunkin’ for their croissant sandwich & now I’ve got a new drink order. :)“

“very good place to eat and the breakfast is out of this world“

“I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I get the appeal of Starbucks as a café and as a place to hang out with friends and study for classes. I really like this one in particular for that purpose because it has plenty of space inside for customers to sit down and relax over coffee or one of their other offerings. This Starbucks location also offers a wide variety of breakfast options and pastries, though they're often in limited supply. Either way, if you're a student, you can come and visit and even use your meal plan to pay for your coffee! Definitely worth a try.“

“Had a really good experience at Maple Street Biscuit Company. The food was honestly the highlight everything came out fresh, flavorful, and exactly how you want comfort food to hit. Biscuits were soft and buttery, and the portions were solid. Kenneth helped us out and was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth without being over the top. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.“

“I had a fantastic time! Marco was extremely fast and helpful. The environment was very clean and smelled absolutely amazing. I can not stress enough how great the service was from both Marco and Erin! They both had a great personality and made me happy to purchase a drink here.“

“I've been to this Starbucks location before, and I've had positive experiences, but this last one was the best. Eden, the barista working this evening, was so sweet and answered all of my questions. Eden even went out of their way to give me a sample based off my questions. I've been traveling the last couple days and felt like I needed caffeine and ended up getting the best pick-me-up!“

“Great ice cream and fun atmosphere“

“We love their ice cream and always have the best experience!“

“Downtown location was easy to park on street. Staff was friendly. Location was clean. Only issue I had was my egg bites. Salt and pepper was in cooking sleeve. Salt actually under food. I almost ate Salt packet. Not usable bc of moisture.“
