41 Best Coffee Shops near Signal Mountain

“One does not simply stumble upon Signal Mountain… unless you took a wrong turn looking for civilization or were lured by the call of artisanal espresso. But if you do find yourself atop this peaceful perch of isolation, fear not — salvation comes in the form of caffeine.

This coffee shop is like discovering Wi-Fi in the wilderness: rare, beautiful, and life-affirming. The drinks? Brewed with such care you’d think each latte was blessed by a barista wizard. Every sip whispers, “You’ve made it. You deserve this.”

It’s a cozy little caffeine sanctuary tucked inside a much larger forested sanctuary, and honestly, it’s worth climbing a mountain for. Literally.“

“Came to Chattanooga last year, stopped by for a latte and iced coffee marked them down as a must have when in the area. Fast forward to this year I had a bag of coffee shipped to me, I must say I once again am pleased with the quality. I would enjoy a sample pack if that's something you would put together one day; nevertheless, I'll be ordering again once this bag is gone. Thank you for the attention to quality!“

“Very clean. Lots of beautiful cats to play with and pet. They gave us treats to feed the cats. Very friendly staff.“

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

“We came in and there was a 40 minute wait, however the sweet girl offered us a spot at the bar and we took it because we needed coffee bad. 😃 We were served immediately and placed our order. The food was delicious but the people were amazing. Mattson and Emily took excellent care of us and we thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with them about things to do in the area. If you are offered a seat at the bar take it! 10/10 recommend! To the manager, I hope you know you have a great staff, which is rare these days. We had just left another restaurant (A.F.) because the guy behind the bar was so rude to us and our server. We walked out of there and into “Milk and Honey”. Thank you Mattson and Emily!“

“Best coffee, so glad you came to Chatt!!“

“Cadence coffee company was a great stop on our trip to Chattanooga. Delicious egg sausage sandwich, strawberry smoothie, and of course, coffee! I highly recommend you stop there. Great ambience and friendly staff.“

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

“My son was screaming while I was ordering, the young girl taking my order ran to go grab him the milk I ordered and waited for me to pour it in his sippy and took the cup back to throw away. She obviously did not have to do any of that and I am so grateful she did because the line was long and it allowed me to wait in line without a screaming baby. Every time I’ve gone to the Wichita Falls location I’ve always had above and beyond customer service.“

“Great cup of coffee, friendly service and yummy scones. Big plus- you can ride your bike to it!“

“Star bucks is no longer my go to. I haven't had much but coffee and avocado toast from here, but their AT is by far the grandest I have ever seen or tasted. It is truly a shareable meal. They give you a large portion that's loaded with all the healthy stuff and exploding with flavor in every bite. I had a coffee that had molasses in it, and if you have not tried it, you aren't the coffee connisuer that you think you are. I only wish there was one closer to where I live. But it's worth the 25-minute drive every time.“

“I have a blanket and several other handmade pieces from Amani. They are beautifully colored and of outstanding quality! I love what Amani stands for and fully support this ministry.“

“Outstanding Customerservice! Everyone is just so nice and professional. And the food is incredible.“

“Had my daughter’s wedding shower at Canopy this past weekend . I could not ask for a better place . I highly recommend you to use this for a shower or special event . Everyone was so nice so helpful. The place is so cute and perfect for this occasion. Last but not least the best mimosas we have ever had.10 out of 10 for sure. Thank you for everything you did .“

“a lot of the BARISTAS here are super sweet, respectful, helpful, and kind! angel is literally an angel and her drink recommendations NEVER miss. i was never a coffee drinker before, but a white mocha brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso A. changed my life and B. cured my depression.“

“Would recommend, 10/10! I went there today for the first time and there was a customer behind me in line who was very rude to me for no reason. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was okay.“

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

“Came into work remotely for a day and stumbled upon the best drip coffee I’ve ever had 👏

Burlaep makes great coffee. It is an open concept coffee shop with an apparel company attached - really cool designs for some of their stuff you can purchase in house.

The baristas were kind and engaging. This is one of the best coffee spots in Chattanooga!“

“I have been traveling to Chattanooga for work over the summer. Really enjoy when I get to hit be caffeinated. Some mornings I have to be at work before the breakfast at the hotel opens up. Yesterday for my afternoon coffee I grabbed some of the spinach egg bites with the intention of eating them for breakfast this morning. I've had lots of egg bites lots of different places and some are okay some are awful. But even reheated in the microwave this morning these things were delicious pillows of goodness to the point that I felt obligated to make a review. I wouldn't complain if you gave me access to the recipe so I could experience the magic when I'm not in town. I'm thankful to all the kind Baristas that I've run into. And your espresso is good and Rich and not too bitter like some other places I've experienced here in Chattanooga.“

“Met friends over coffee and homemade baked goods - super great vibe. Very relaxed and lots and spaces. Love they have games and puzzles to bring a slowing down and enjoyment of the place for all ages. Bring a good book, find a comfy chair and sip a great latte!“

“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!“

“we had the bacon and spinach quiche and cut rave enough about how good it was! also, Louie is a keeper!!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great cafe with a relaxed atmosphere and a heart for helping women who have been exploited.“

“Five Stars for sure. I Love this place ! Best espresso of any coffee shops around….hands down. So much better than Starbucks! I visit 3-4 times a week and all of the staff are incredibly friendly. They remember me and usually remember my order. Their service is quick and efficient despite the tiny space.“

“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.“

“Went early on a Saturday just after 8pm opening, not a smoker and hoped to beat the fog bank that can develop with multiple smokers, cover was around $10 and one drink purchase, I don't do alcohol and opted for a coke zero, it was flat and owner/manager heard and replaced with no problems, the bar tender/cashier Dahlia was a cute petite lady and does dance as well and I got what was a nice private room dance but despite enjoying myself I guess she didn't because as soon as the song ended she had her crocs on and was out the room, I was going to get a few more songs but didn't get a chance to ask, had a beautiful lady Trixie talk and enjoy some small talk with her got several dances from her and she was wonderful, had a dance from a couple other women and enjoyed them as well. As the name indicates it is a bikini bar so all dancers were covered with bikinis, no nudity but I still had a nice time. There were about 8 to 12 different dancers and a wide assortment from petite little treats, bbw, small breasts and large, 5' to close to 6' tall. Will be back.“

“Good Nitro brew; not great like some places, but it’s strong in caffeine. And they have FOOD 🥘 it’s decent. I do like this location for some purposes I deal with. It’s out of the way of other shops; but I like that because it’s less crowded and bigger store.“

“Best and affordable vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to. I’ve driven 2 hours to come here probably 10+ times and have brought multiple friends. My favorites are the seitan cutlet platter and nachos. However, I tried the brunch omelette for the first time and I need to warn y’all that it was absolutely foul 😭. Flavorless, weirdly gummy, and tasted of undercooked flour. If this were the first thing I’d tried at Sluggo’s, I would have never come back. Have tried nearly the whole regular menu at this point so I can confidently recommend those items and the brunch burrito that my friend had.“

“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.“

“Thank you Real Roots. This was really good. I got the Miso bowl and that was amazeballs. My little sister Ava got the Beet Salad and she ate it in 3 seconds because it was so yum. A wonderful addition to our experience was the availability of reverse osmosis filtered water, the most delicious and PFA free version of water in my opinion. Also we sat outside and it was so cute!! Overall sooooo good I wish I could go back but I do not live in Chattanooga. God Bless Real Roots Cafe“

“Absolutely great place to get coffee! This shop is located inside of a hotel but still is great small coffee shop to go to. The barista there was testing different ways of making coffee and giving it the tests to customers to try. Also asked me a few more questions than usual to try and find a latte that would suit me. The atmosphere isn’t the best compared to others but the location and coffee are incomparable to a lot of cafes I have been to.“

“I stop by this Starbucks on my way to work, and they never disappoint! The staff is always pleasant, and my mobile order is ready by the time I walk in. Service is consistently quick and efficient, making my mornings smoother. Highly recommend!“

“The Crepes are very good. The staff was polite and friendly. The restaurant was very clean. Thanks Cajun“

“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!“

“I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I get the appeal of Starbucks as a café and as a place to hang out with friends and study for classes. I really like this one in particular for that purpose because it has plenty of space inside for customers to sit down and relax over coffee or one of their other offerings. This Starbucks location also offers a wide variety of breakfast options and pastries, though they're often in limited supply. Either way, if you're a student, you can come and visit and even use your meal plan to pay for your coffee! Definitely worth a try.“

“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.“

“HIDDEN GEM!! I love this place so much! It was our first time here ever. How did I not know about this place?!
It is so sweet and charming with great locally roasted coffee (they get from an actively serving military member from Chattanooga - currently deployed). Yummy cookie dough by the slice with keto, vegan, and gluten free options. They also have ice cream and bottled drinks.

We got almond milk lattes and macchiatos, with sugar free syrup. They were very good.
The business is woman owned and everyone we met that works here is super nice.
They are all about community. I love the trinket treasure chest and community bookshelf. There are also local artist stickers and crochet animals for sale. We hung out on a comfy couch and enjoyed books from their shelf while munching our keto cookie dough.
Right across the street from the aquarium, it is conveniently located.
I look forward to my next visit!“
