Stirling's is an adorable little coffee shop right on the University campus, tucked away amongst the towering trees and rustic stone buildings. The staff are fantastic, quick to provide service and kind.
The drinks were delicious, mine the Wildflower latte and my partner's the Dirty Chai.
We also had a breakfast sandwich, and found it filling and filled with flavor. Perfect ✨
We loved the atmosphere and hope to visit again soon.

Really laid back when we went. Love the peaceful campus too. Also side note, we saw Bill Burr when he stopped by here after his show at the Caverns!

It can't be overstate how beautiful the porch was today (August.) The pollinator garden is stunning and there were so many bird species in it. Fans kept us cool and the Sewanee elevation was a relief as someone used to valley heat. My B.L.A.T. was delicious, especially the heirloom tomatoes on it. This will now be a permanent pitstop for me on drives to Nashville.

You will find a beautiful setting with scenic outdoor sitting options. Birds in abundance gather in the natural setting surrounding the repurposed house ? You'll be greeted by a friendly staff and and find many food and drink options. Enjoyed my cappuccino very much. Unfortunately my egg ? bagel was overcooked and dry--its not an egg, persay, but a precooked "patty". Other than that, I would definitely recommend ☕

Stayed locally for Bonaroo and happened to find this amazing coffee shop. Great vibes and even better food and coffee. I had the sunrise sandwich and the All-Saints iced coffee...both were delicious.

Drove an hour and 20 mins to come here and left immediately and found somewhere else to eat due to the "pride" flag they had hanging on the front of the building. Disgusting.

A great place for a coffee, tea, or bite to eat. They have a good selection of pastries and snacks, I believe there is something here for everyone. Just don't show up if you're in a big hurry, everything is made to order.

Just awful. The cappacino was mud, lukewarm, not made right. Gloomy staff.

I really enjoyed this place. The coffee was great and the atmosphere was just so inviting. I enjoyed my cookie inside and finished my coffee outside on the porch swing. Very peaceful.

Nice little spot for a quick grab. Coffee and a bite to eat. Ordered myself a Bacon Egg & Cheese on a toasted bagel ; pretty good! My wife had the toasted sliced bread with strawberries / honey & avocado. Surprisingly , this was also very good! Also had me an iced coffee, iced coffee wasn’t too good.Gave it 4 stars because of how sloppy they added butter onto my bagel. Guy literally left a chunk of butter , when he could have just spread it on the bread.Overall, I’d come back. ??

My fiancé and I are in the area from Michigan for a concert at the caverns. We needed a minimal fuss but not greasy breakfast spot and this place was exactly that. Menu had a solid selection of fresh and unique items. I went simple and got a breakfast sandwich w/ bacon on a croissant, it was delightful.. My man got the Dimmick Day, the Basil oil leveled it up from just a regular club and was sooo good. Coffee is good too!! Prices are honestly great compared to back home and vibes were on point. 10/10 recommend
The most charming cafe! I tried a few things during my weekend trip and they were all amazing! The ingredients are so fresh I'm sure literally everything on the menu is delicious. The coffee was also very good! The staff was so pleasant and I could sit there all day and enjoy the atmosphere if I were a local. Also, bonus points for having a pride flag prominently displayed outside!
Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options and they are delicious!
Parking: Their lot is very tiny and always full.
Kid-friendliness: I saw many kids at the restaurant.
fun college coffee shop
