18 Best Cafes in Chattanooga

“I’ve been eating here for a short time. But no matter what you order the food is made fresh with generous portions.“

“Belvoir Christian Academy's faculty and staff loved the catered lunch from Marsha's Backstreet Cafe! We had spaghetti, salad and garlic bread! Delicious! Highly recommend anything on the menu as well!“

“One of the best bagel sandwiches I’ve ever had! We got the egg sandwich and added bacon and literally couldn’t put it down. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! We will definitely be back next time we are in town!“

“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“

“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.“

“Rachel is the best. She is bound and determined she will find a drink you’ll like and make it for you! The shop is cute and the service is A1. Couldn’t ask for better service and atmosphere! If you haven’t been yet, quit wasting your time and go and see Rachel and get that drink!“

“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!“

“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!“
