Allgood's Used Books and Coffee

My favorite coffee shop in Chattanooga. Sometimes, I’ll go there grab a coffee and a cookbook and that cookbook will decide what I make for dinner.

This coffee shop's atmosphere is unparalleled, and the owner's compassionate nature creates a cozy and welcoming environment, making it the best in Chattanooga.

I can’t say ANYTHING bad. My experience was great. My food and coffee was sooo good but what I loved most was the peace that was there and how friendly Ms. Jackie the owner was. I was looking for a hidden gem. A coffee shop that felt cozy like home, but was in an environment where I felt motivated and concentrated to read and work. I found it! I will be returning. And I got to purchase two used books I enjoyed reading, while there. I got an egg croissant and a cookie dough latte. It was so good! I also tried the chicken salad. It was yummy!

My family came for the books and will need to return for the coffee! They have a diverse selection of books with something for everyone. If you're in the area and you're looking for breakfast or lunch and want to browse some books while you eat, this is definitely the place to do it.

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and the coffee shakes are absolutely amazing!

I visited Allgood’s Bookstore recently and I instantly felt like I was on the East Coast again. Why? Allgood’s Bookstore is welcoming to a customer in all the ways that matter: friendly staff, great service, aesthetically pleasing, culturally relevant book titles and other resources, and most importantly, the ambiance reeks of a place for an individual to sit and read for a while or for groups to gather and engage in community dialogue.It’s family-friendly and in a neighborhood that welcomes strangers and neighbors.

Kid-friendliness: Little people are welcome to exlpore and kid sized seating is available.

I get the chicken salad croissant with Mediterranean salad every time and is usually the best part of my week. Extremely friendly, calm and welcoming place to read for a bit or even just a quick bite in the work day.

I am looking to potentially move to the Chattanooga area and this place caught my eye! Used books and coffee?! Yes please! I spoke with the owner/operator while I was ordering. She told me that her grandmother opened the store initially for used books, but those don't pay the bills (!) so when she sees people finding books here instead of just coming for the coffee that makes her so happy! There's lots of space and many different seating options. I recently started writing a book and this is the perfect place for that- or any work that needs to get done. Plus, $5 used books are a deal! I ACCIDENTALY got 7....and a latte. I'll be back for sure!! I put that I spent $1-10 for the coffee but I did buy 7 books. Just wanted to clarify!

Parking: Free street parking! However, I came here on the heels of a winter storm, so there were not as many people out. Either way, it was easy to park.

Kid-friendliness: There is a lot of space that is carpeted that would be great for kids to play on the ground. There are multiple different kinds of seating options too!

Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of space between tables and plenty of room. On the first floor.

This is a sweet little bookshop! We ordered coffees and enjoyed them. We did not order any food but others did and it smelled heavenly. It is a quaint store, but I liked that. The offerings were not overwhelming, giving time to dig more deeply into the selections.

Allgoods is a lovely lunch spot! As someone who who lives and works in East Chatt I am proud to recommend Miss Jackie's place. It's a neighborhood café where Scott the mailman comes in and says, I'll have my usual, be back in 15 minutes to pick it up and pay."With Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald in the background, the atmosphere is perfect to grab lunch with a friend or get a coffee and journal by yourself. I'm happy to report her salads are always fresh and yummy; a great option for gluten-free folks like me!
