“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. ☕️ ⚓️ 🔱“

“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.“

“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! 💃“

“Tried the Double Dosta on recommendation it was delicious great on house made iced coffee. Had the Bowser bagel sandwich with bacon also delicious“

“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 ✨🫶🏼“

“The last time I went to Dutch Bros was probably about 4 years ago on the west coast, so it's been a while. I'm so happy we have one here now.

They have a small parking lot around the vicinity, and I believe they also have a window you can walk to for ordering along with the drive through.

I forgot how many options they had on their menu, it was a little overwhelming at first haha. Service was very fast and friendly. I was actually pretty impressed by how fast they made my order, I didn't have a wait time at all really.

I ended up ordering the Kicker and it was delicious. It was definitely sweet, but good. Next time I'll have to come back and try their blended drinks, their drinks with sugar free syrup, and also ask for less ice next time. Ice level wasn't too much in proportion to the drink, but I could do with less. That's just my preference.

Otherwise I have no complaints, and I will definitely come back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Been there for lunch several times & breakfast recently. Homemade bread & desserts are wonderful! Love the Flourless chocolate & pecan cookies. Everything I’ve tasted there has been exceptionally good.“

“How have I not tried them already? Trust me when I say the brown sugar latte is good! Enjoyed a quick breakfast here.“

“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.“

“Loved this local cafe. Lots of menu choices with real food ingredients. We got the Reuben sandwich, the Pizza Panini a kale salad. Also tried the Kingston smoothie and a cookie! All were delicious!!! The calming music was good for the digestion too.“

“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 the best vegan restaurant where we have ever eaten! There is a great selection of food on the menu, and there is also a happy hour hot dog special. There are 6 different options and the price is $5 for one or $8 for two. We passed that up and got the deluxe club sandwich and the little steppenwolf. It was a massive amount of food for a very reasonable price. The waitress was friendly and attentive. We are from out of town, and if we had eaten here first, we likely would not have eaten anywhere else. It is an excellent place to eat!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service , great location, great seating“

“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.“

“Trenta black tea and hot coffee!“

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