Sleepyhead Coffee (City Center)

The coffee was amazing. The staff were so kind and helpful.

A great spot for wonderful coffee. A big shout-out to Erin for making me such perfect cappuccinos during my stay in Chattanooga, and for the fun little chats while I visited! The dining area across the hall from the espresso bar is an adorable little gem. It's comfy and quiet, a perfect place to read, study, or relax. From Montreal, merci beaucoup, Sleepyhead Coffee!

I decided I wanted to spend a little extra time in Chattanooga before I headed home after a continuing ed opportunity. I wanted a coffee and a treat to take on a walk by the river. After a little googling, I settled on Sleepyhead. It was a good choice!

This little coffeeshop is inside the James Building. Truth be told, idk what else goes on inside the James Building, but the shop itself is on the left as you enter the front entrance. It's very small and there's only a couple of stools to sit on so it's mostly a grab and go operation, but wow is it adorable inside! I loved the welcoming, dreamy, upbeat vibes, as well as all the plants and the soft neon.

One interesting thing on the menu is a couple CBD-infused drinks. Talk about sleepyhead! ;) I'd not seen that before but the concept is intriguing!

Employees were super friendly and guided me in the direction of their sweeter current specialty lattes. They said one of the fruitier ones (raspberry? Strawberry? Can't remember) was the sweetest, but I don't like fruity coffee so I chose the pistachio latte instead. They made it for me quickly. I couldn't help but grab a donut and a sticker to commemorate my visit. All their food is vegan here and some of it is gluten free. I can't remember if my donut was GF or not, but I DO remember it being delicious. The icing on top wasn't gritty at all nor was it over sweet. The cake itself was a little bit dense but it kind of worked? I much prefer a cakey donut to an airy one so this was a winner for me! I can't remember if it was chai, Apple cider, or both, but it was definitely a spice cake and super yummy with my coffee.

The coffee was tasty and VERY strongly pistachio, which I for one was all about! I love the nutty, slightly sweet, vanilla-y flavor. In a perfect world I like my drinks a little sweeter, but as I said, it's partly on me because the employees did tell me. Still, I enjoyed it very thoroughly and would definitely return.

I'll enjoy my sweet sleepyhead cat sticker and think back on this visit fondly!

Service and coffee are equally delightful. ‘Don’t sleep on Sleepyhead!

Convenient and efficient. Pick up only. Drinks are good quality. Small selection of pastries like donuts and bagels. Pricing is middle of the road. Did not experience a waiting line.

Best gluten free donut I’ve ever had! The cold brew was great as well.

Super cute, but super busy when I was there. What I thought would be a 5-10min wait turned into an almost 45min service. Maple Cinnamon roll, donuts and coffee were good. I’d try again some other time

Drink was mediocre at best.

Great coffee and avocado toast!! Cute coffee spot!! ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing Lattes, THE BEST Donuts in town (and I’m not even vegan or gluten free), and the crew and owners are incredible people 🩷💚

My son & his gf met me there yesterday morning! It was just the best, kindest service, coffee & treats! The Vegan oatmeal cream pie was so yummy, as well as, the blueberry muffin! Our latte’s were perfection! You won’t want to miss this place on Broad Street in Chattanooga when you’re visiting! And a super plus is, it is located in a beautiful old architectural building!😋😀😊

Has gluten free baked goods but they are in the same display case as other baked goods meaning all of the gf options are cross contaminated. Yall can do better than this

We loved this cafe! They have Brandywine coffee roasters beans which is delightful. The barista was so kind and she was so talented with her latte art. Our drinks tasted perfect, too. There is a seating area with all of these plants in it which was a really nice :)
