“Incredible little place in Hixson. Good Coffee, the food is good too but slightly more selection would be nice. Interior is inviting and a great place to study, do work, or just chill. She also has a nice selection of art prints from local artists for sale. Would recommend to a friend. The owner and servers are incredibly nice and inviting. They are always quick in getting your order almost as soon as its ordered!“

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

“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! 💃“

“This is my first time visiting this establishment, all I can say is five out of five stars, great service, fast, efficient, and on top of their customer services is top-notch. I’m absolutely a huge fan of cold brew, and they have some of the most tasty cold brew in the town. I also decided to get their protein latte cause that looked appealing to me as a fitness enthusiast. I will definitely be coming back to this place to get my coffee needs watch out Starbucks! Your competition is 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.“

“The best smoothie and juice by a long shot. Blows the local out of the water. I’ll come here at least once a month if not more to get a smoothie and do some work. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Only thing is the music can be a little loud at times. But I get it you gotta do what you can to cover up the sound of blenders. Also the patio is nice, not great but nice on a cool day.“

“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 place is a hidden gem! I’ve passed it by a few times and finally decided to give them a shot today, and I have to say the coffee is impressive, from the taste to the tasteful latte art on top. I was also surprised to learn that they also serve cocktails and beer. The warehouse vibe is really cool and they share the space with vendors as well as sell their own merchandise that fits with the outdoors and scenic city vibes of Chattanooga. Highly recommend stopping by for a cup of coffee or, better yet, a real Espresso Martini with freshly pulled espresso! That’s my plan for next time, anyway.“

“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.“

“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 ✨🫶🏼“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Holy moly, this was incredible. Everything was flavorful and comforting and this is one of our top vegan restaurants ever. We made their weekend brunch where a special menu was in place and we went for the grits, a burrito, and a side of their BLT. Everything was amazing and portions were HUGE and well priced. We are sad we didn’t make it back for their normal menu, but I am sure it is just as good. Must go if in town Updated from previous review on 2026-05-19“

“Everything was great! I had the Chattahooligan. It was great but definitely a stronger coffee taste than some (which I enjoy). If you don't, you might want to adjust it a little. Service was great as well! We went through the drive-thru and it was fairly quick service.“

“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.“

“Me and my husband stopped in here while in Chattanooga celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary. We were running late (completely our own fault). I said nothing about it to the staff, but our coffee came out so fast it’s like they could read my mind. And it was delicious too. Highly recommend!“

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

“Good service. Went with a large party and everyone enjoyed all the items we all ordered. Great atmosphere!! Will be back“

“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!“

“Great experience overall. Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Food was great. (Would've simply preferred the bagel a bit more toasted). I had the everything bagel with turkey, spinach, pesto, and tomatoes (yes i took a bite before taking the picture) with their spring coffee option of lavender and coconut latte. Wife had the tofu bowl that was amazing with a turmeric and ginger latte. As a person who doesnt prefer tofu, it was very good. The avocado and peppers added the flavor tofu sometimes might lack. Overall great experience.“

“These folks are the BEST!“

“Done with speedway after 25 faithfull years. I always looked the other way on the fuel prices being a few cents higher for the convenience and reward system but now that they have made it so that you cannot refill a gas card after 7:00 p.m. and you cannot use a gas card to pay at the pump there's absolutely no reason to continue paying extra prices on gas and merchandise. I knew when they were purchased by 7-Eleven that it would go downhill fast and it has I buy $500 gas cards per week to fuel up at pump multiple vehicles and work nights I can no longer refill my cards and my family cannot use the card to pay at the pump avoiding risking being skimmed with a credit card at the pump. they say it's because of fraud on gift cards but if an employee is not behind the fraud then how is their fraud how is refilling a gift card before 7:00 any less fraudulent then after 7:00 how is me coming in to pay with my kid card any more of a chance of being fraudulent than not an employee cannot tell if it was fraudulently filled inside anymore than they can outside goodbye Speedway“

“Great ice cream and fun atmosphere“

“I hope corporate knows what a wonderful team they have at this location. I pulled into the drive-through to get my dog, his last pup-a-cino as he is crossing the Rainbow bridge today. Not only were the ladies at this Starbucks friendly and compassionate they even wrote me a little message on my cup. I hope they know how much that meant to me.“

“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 mountain brought us down a way we normally don't because coming back home from out of town passing through I have wanted a coffee all morning sure enough the lady at the drive thru around 2pm hooked me up with the best iced white mocha! I didnt catch her name but shes super friendly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service , great location, great seating“
