“Grindhead Coffee – Chattanooga, TN

Grindhead Coffee is an easy standout in Chattanooga. Even during the day, the theming is awesome and full of character, with a clear nautical influence that makes the space feel creative and intentional without being over the top.

One of the coolest touches is the **custom tabletop games**. They’re a fun, unique addition that gives you something to engage with while you hang out, and it really sets Grindhead apart from a typical coffee shop.

The **merch is legitimately cool**—well-designed and clearly thought out, not just generic logo items.

Most importantly, the **coffee is good**. The drinks are well-crafted and flavorful, with nautical-themed names that tie into the overall concept nicely.

Overall, Grindhead Coffee feels original, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. A great stop whether you’re passing through or looking for a place to slow down and enjoy a solid cup of coffee. ☕️ ⚓️ 🔱“

“What a gem of North Shore in Chattanooga. The staff was so friendly, accommodating, and super knowledgeable of all the products. The ladies that were working were inviting and just fun to talk to. Nice spot to hang out, have a refreshing drink, and a nice baked snack. Please stop by while exploring the area.“

“All the espresso blenders are delicious they are based on your personal preference in flavor (white mocha, carmelicious, turtle or mocha chocolate flavor, etc.) ☕️ Also fruit smoothies are great when it’s hot with the cream base and energy 🍓🥭🍑🍌🫐 Cinnamon rolls, maple waffle sandwiches, ciabattas even….. anddddd pup cups, kids menu, and lollipops?! Gotta try it out ✨🫶🏼“

“Came into work remotely for a day and stumbled upon the best drip coffee I’ve ever had 👏

Burlaep makes great coffee. It is an open concept coffee shop with an apparel company attached - really cool designs for some of their stuff you can purchase in house.

The baristas were kind and engaging. This is one of the best coffee spots in Chattanooga!“

“The chorizo wrap was awesome! It was hot and very yummy. We did use gift cards and something weird happen with one but thats not the person's fault. They were very friendly and the drinks were amazing . We got 2 hot mocha and honestly wayyyy better then Starbucks.“

“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!“

“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“

“this is a new place and we tried it today we got iced coffee and a car malicious and a pup cup. the dog absolutely loved the pup cup! and the coffee was delicious the service was great!“

“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“

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

“Great cafe with a relaxed atmosphere and a heart for helping women who have been exploited.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I always have great service Chasity is a wonderful waitress and the food is delicious.👍🏻👍🏻“

“Would recommend, 10/10! I went there today for the first time and there was a customer behind me in line who was very rude to me for no reason. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was okay.“

“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.“

“I have been traveling to Chattanooga for work over the summer. Really enjoy when I get to hit be caffeinated. Some mornings I have to be at work before the breakfast at the hotel opens up. Yesterday for my afternoon coffee I grabbed some of the spinach egg bites with the intention of eating them for breakfast this morning. I've had lots of egg bites lots of different places and some are okay some are awful. But even reheated in the microwave this morning these things were delicious pillows of goodness to the point that I felt obligated to make a review. I wouldn't complain if you gave me access to the recipe so I could experience the magic when I'm not in town. I'm thankful to all the kind Baristas that I've run into. And your espresso is good and Rich and not too bitter like some other places I've experienced here in Chattanooga.“

“Provisions is the best coffee shop I've been to in chatt - their prices are so much better than the other places I've been, the staff is friendly and quick to serve, and the pastries are to die for. I personally love the raspberry pastries, but I have liked every one I've tried. Definitely recommend even if you aren't staying at the hotel“

“Great spot for vegan breakfast options, which is nearly impossible to find. Multiple great choices for everyone on the food side, with low prices. Convenient location to hamilton area. Nice people.

Tofu scramble bagel: 10/10 - needs a little salt and pepper, but they have it.“

“we had the bacon and spinach quiche and cut rave enough about how good it was! also, Louie is a keeper!!“

“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!“

“These folks are the BEST!“

“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.“

“Awesome place with lots of vegetarian options. My boyfriend and I got the tofu scramble bagels and they were DELICIOUS. My boyfriend and I’s drinks were also very good. I’ll definitely be back next time i’m in town. Good prices, I got my bagel, 24oz chai and chips for under $15.“

“This is Chattanooga distilled to its purest form. Absolute gem of a restaurant. 1000% recommend whether you're vegan, vegetarian or not. Plus they have a karaoke bar in the basement on the weekend, fantastic vibe with the best people in Chattanooga. Ash and Terry are wonderful hosts. Highly recommend visiting here, you will love it!“

“Perfection. Just lovely food, people, service and more. Their fall special squash soup and pumpkin spice latte are heavenly. I literally started reviewing as I'm enjoying it and I have never done that in my years of giving stars. Just wonderful. I'm vegetarian and this place is healing. You absolutely, unequivocally, unmistakably MUST come by and grab something. I doubt they make a single bad thing, just from the incredible goodness I'm eating right now.“

“I visit Starbucks 2-3 times a day and because they always make my hot mocha perfect. this is one of my favorite locations bc they always make my White Mocha perfect. I felt bad when I saw they are open on Christmas Day but, after It was explained that no one was being forced and they’re making time & 1/2 I’m actually happy that they’re given the opportunity to make some extra.“

“Great food. Great customer service!“

“Let customers know to be prepared to walk in to ask clerk for receipt since you cannot print one from the gas pump.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The people they have working here are exceptional. They always have a helpful attitude and will suggest modifications to drinks to make it a better drink for you and your likes.I highly recommend stopping here on your way in to target to get a pick me up while shopping. We'll worth it for sure.“

“This is by far the best Starbucks in Chattanooga. I've really noticed over the past 2 months that the vibe has become more welcoming, and the staff is unmatched in terms of friendliness, speed, and coffee-making competence. If you work remotely or need to study/read, it's also just a chill place to hang out. Highly recommend.“

“Rob, the manager of the morning crew, is the best manager this Starbucks has ever had in the 20 years I’ve been a customer here. Rob, Erin, Natalie, Haley, and the rest of the crew are always friendly. When they see my car pull up, they get my order ready. They are always engaging, asking me how my week is going. They really start my day off right.“

“Great service , great location, great seating“

“The Crepes are very good. The staff was polite and friendly. The restaurant was very clean. Thanks Cajun“

“Trenta black tea and hot coffee!“
