Two stars for the cuteness of the place, but thats where it ended for me. Coffee was bitter. Really bitter. No choice of sweetener other than stevia and sugar in the raw. Neither of which I enjoy. Only Vegan pastry, sorry but yuk. And the person serving gave off a very snooty vibe. So... yea, well pass on this spot. There are many great coffee spots in Chattanooga, this just wasnt one of them for us.
My favorite place in town to go for a pick me up or if I have a few minutes to spare during work. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, and consistently delicious drinks. Best espresso in Chattanooga!
Was in town for the weekend & visited 4 times in two days. Got to meet the owner & co-owner!Cutest little shop & sitting area (across the hall from where the coffee is made) & the coffee was superb! Overall, we tried the honey lavender latte, coconut mocha, and their drip.Day two, the owner remembered seeing me from the first couple of visits and waved to me from across the hall—made me feel special and appreciated as a customer!
Got an iced coffee with whole milk this past weekend. Some the best coffee Ive ever had. The flavor kinda hangs with you for a while. Delicious. Im also a big fan of avocado seed straws now. Highly recommend!
We were looking for a great place with great coffee and definitely found what we were looking for!The owners are very friendly and professional.I love how clean and well organized they are!I ordered the Iced Honey Lavender Latte and it was so delicious. We bought a bag of the Sleepyhead coffee beans and we love it! You may pay a little bit more than somewhere else for a few things - but its DEFINITELY worth it (QUALITY)!HIGHLY recommended!Please support your local shops. ❤
Vegan, gluten-free donuts & third-wave coffee. I’m there. This place is cute, yummy, & it’s so nice to have a pastry option with my coffee. Wish I lived here so I could frequent this spot!
Delicious coffee and friendly staff! Definitely stop in.
The first thing you want from a coffee shop is good coffee, and they delivered. Next, atmosphere, check! Friendly staff and a business model that mirrors my own ethics made this an outstanding must visit. Plus, they gave me great restaurant suggestion that did not disappoint. They only problem is they arent open on Sundays and I had to drink subpar coffee from somewhere else.
Best coffee in Chattanooga! The staff is so nice and friendly. I go in several times a week, have a nice little convo with them and grab my coffee. Their lattes ACTUALLY TASTE LIKE COFFEE, not just sweet milk. 10/10 recommend.
I cant believe I am just now leaving a review since I am completely obsessed with Sleepyhead Coffee! You cant get a better chai anywhere else in town! The staff are amazing and they opened up a second location thats just as cute as their original!
Best Latte I have ever had. My favorite coffee shop in all of Chattanooga. Great aesthetic too with the coffee shop being at the entrance of a corporate office. I like to walk here during my lunch to grab a coffee during the workweek. Highly recommend!
Nice ambiance. Awesome staff.
Found Sleepyhead while on an overnight stay in Chattanooga. Stopped in for coffee and ended up having a delicious iced Americano along with some oatmeal and one of the donuts. Its hard to find donuts that arent fried and the ones at Sleepyhead are amazing, not dry or heavy at all. Highly recommend!
Great coffee. Beautiful atmosphere. Excellent music. Apathetic baristas…
Sleepyhead Coffee ROCKS! If youre in Chattanooga, definitely stop in. Great atmosphere, friendly/helpful staff, and delicious coffee. They really accommodate different taste preferences, all while keeping things quality as well as unique. I first visited back in January while I was in town, and really enjoyed my experience as well as an espresso soda with seasonal syrup flavor added. This past weekend, my boyfriend picked us up two coffees while we were passing through town, and I was so happy that they offered 16oz iced drinks! Most third-wave shops do not, so we were thrilled! They also have a great selection of retail bags to brew at home! We will definitely be back. Telling my friends, too!
First timer and was not disappointed! I’m not a huge coffee person, but I LOVED the coconut mocha w/ oatmilk (which the guy said was one of his favs and I can see why). The aesthetic of the coffee shop and customer service was great too!
The atmosphere is cute and the coffee is decent, but unfortunately the service is a bit unwelcoming - the last two times I’ve been there the barista has been pretty impatient even though it’s never been busy when I’ve been there, and she acts fairly condescending to other customers as well. Last time there was a customer trying to make small talk, and the barista was acting very irritated towards her. I don’t believe I’ll be back since the experience has been pretty awkward on both occasions.
Perfect coffee. Its simple and delicious, and it doesnt hurt that the shop is beautiful.
This place was really good. The coffee was that I ordered was an Oatmilk Late. The cost, service and atmosphere was fine and nice. I would totally come back here again! I really liked that they had dairy free bread products too! I can would recommend this place to others.
Adorable and serene space! Best gf donuts in town!
The quality of coffee and drinks these guys put out is unreal. I adored this shop.
Adorable little place with tons of plants and good coffee. I absolutely loved the ambiance of this coffee shop. The plants made me feel like I was in a forest instead of downtown Chattanooga.I ordered a caramel apple butter latte & wanted a pastry but they were out. I happened to arrive during a busy hour and the ladies running the counter seemed a bit stressed but the wait wasnt long and the service was okay.I grabbed a seat after receiving my coffee and enjoyed sitting in their hangout area. The flavors of the caramel apple butter coffee worked really well together ~ I look forward to coming back and trying another seasonal special at Sleepyhead Coffee.
Absolutely adore this place. Starbucks, who???
One of my go-to coffee spots downtown. Nice sitting area across the hallway from the baristas. Really helpful and polite staff. Great flat white.
Delicious coffee and pastries. The lavender donut is my daughters favorite!
Living our best lives today!Vanilla lavender latte and a GF matcha donut in this perfect weather...a delicious combo
Great little coffee shop
They have a vertical garden! And a comfy couch! The coffee was good, too!
Cute little coffee shop downtown. Parking is limited because it is downtown.
I love specialty coffee shops and have worked in the industry for three years now. On a visit to Chattanooga I was excited to check out the local coffee scene and Sleepyhead Coffee. The reason I leave this review is because the service I received was borderline hostile.
I love this place so much that I almost cry whenever I think about it. It is such a wholesome place full of kind energy. In addition to the atmosphere, the coffee is top notch and the service is fabulous.
I have loved this coffee shop since the day they opened! Its ran by 2 of the nicest people. They offer great coffee, conversation, plants and smiles! Honey lavender iced latte is my favorite!
I love this coffee shop. The coffee and pastries are excellent and I wish they were closer.
The space is so adorable and cozy. Coffee was great.
Halfway between Tivoli centre and the Reed House on Broad St Chatt. is a beautiful little coffee place. They have 2 bright rooms, one for serving coffee and great tempting homemade donuts and the other, a place to sip and study in the anterooms of the first and most beautiful skyscraper in Chattanooga, the 1907 James Building. Also outside sidewalk cafe tables for enjoying this gorgeous fall weather. Even some of their coffee is historic, coming from the Brandywine River Valley in Wilmington Delaware. They serve a medium roast that holds its robust flavor even as it cools off. Posted also is a full board of coffee drinks. Also friendly and knowledgeable folks behind the counter.
My favorite place in Chattanooga to grab coffee - especially recommend the cold brew and any of the pastries!
The coffee is amazing and the owners are super sweet!
My favorite spot to escape to get some work done in the morning! For drinks, I stick to their seasonal specials and Im always wowed by the flavors. For eats, their vegan baked goods blow me and my non-vegan friends away! Do not miss out on the beauty, deliciousness, and incredible service youll find at Sleepyhead!
Nice little shop! The space was thoughtfully designed and they had great coffee options. The service however could be a little more warm and welcoming.
Excellent place with wonderful staff! Lots of lovely plants everywhere and located in a beautiful old building. Definitely give them a try! Theres an extra room just across from where you order with more seating and a street side bar top to socialize and people watch.We really enjoyed the espresso lemonade. Also, theres vegan treats!
Such a wonderful coffee shop with a great ambiance and the absolute cutest plants! The staff are always very friendly and helpful! My favorite coffee shop in the Chattanooga area.
Sleepyhead Coffee is absolutely divine. This shop holds such a striking niche in Chattanooga.For starters, the environment is beyond welcoming and relaxing, not to mention beautifully designed. You will find numerous, unique plants scattered about the shop, which are also for sale. These plants are carefully curated by the owners.Secondly, the pastries are absolutely delicious. The owners proudly serve all vegan food items! Honestly, these guys have the best vegan pastries in Chattanooga. You can find anything from blueberry muffins and lemon cookies to non-dairy bagel toppings.Lastly, if you are looking to get a delightfully handcrafted espresso beverage or a carefully handpicked cup of coffee, Sleepyhead is the place to go! You can enjoy a lovely rosemary-infused honey espresso tonic or a refreshing espresso lemonade on those hot Chattanooga days. You can also sip on a creamy oatmilk latte during those brisk Chattanooga mornings.The owners of Sleepyhead are two amazing local Chattanooga guys who have made a deep commitment to not only serve the highest quality of coffee and food items, but to also be a part of the booming local Chattanooga scene. If you are looking for a comfortable and quaint oasis in the heart of downtown Chattanooga, Sleepyhead is a must.
Amazing spot in downtown Chattanooga with amazing coffee and service. Brandon and Christian are masters of their trade, and offer a great spot for business men and women to go for a great drink and vegan options for milks and pastries. Next time you are looking for a spot to work from or want a great vibe, go here! Cant wait for them to open on weekends too!
I gave them 3 stars because the space is adorable and picture perfect thats why this space was selected for a recent photoshoot. My photographer called ahead to make sure we can use the space and assure we wont bother anyone. By the way the photographer is a well-known local photographer who takes amazing photos for magazines. We arrived and assured them that we wont be in there way and the guy was ok with it but gave a little attitude. The staff overall were strange and a bit rude. They looked at us weird and made us feel very unwelcomed. Also it was my first time there so when I ordered I wanted something iced and I asked the lady and she replied rudely. I ordered the iced chai which tasted sour.
Beautiful space, great coffee, friendly staff... this place has it going on! Also, the lavender lemon vegan donut is 💯!
Me and my husband were on vacation and decided to drop in here to try their coffee..Would give this place a 10 star if I could. Ordered an almond milk latte and it was made to perfection! Creamy, bold, perfect amount of foam, and the temperature was exactly where it needed to be! Will definitely be coming back here on our next vacation!!!Thank you 🙏😊
Coffee was alright. Baristas not friendly.
I love sleepyhead! The coffee is very good quality. They have a wide variety of drinks and pastries. The owners are very nice and accommodating! Always a great experience!
Beautiful! awesome vegan lavender donut and oat milk latte. Perfect for a day of working on the computer. Lovely People. Highly Recommend.
Delicious drinks, space, and company.Would encourage to take selfies with plants and coffee.I did not, due to my ugly mug.Will come back for intimate conversation with my degenerate friends.
Great shop, awesome coffee, super friendly staff. Go out of your way to visit this place. Its very worth it.
Fantastic coffee with genuinely wonderful owners! Sleepyhead quickly became a staple of downtown Chattanooga coffee! You have to check out their pastries and all the plants they have throughout the shop!
Ok
OMG! The coffees are just delish. Brandon, Christian, and Maisie are fabulous baristas. Its a lovely place to sit back, relax, and enjoy a smooth brew.
Best coffee in Chattanooga!
I really enjoy this place!! The staff make you feel appreciated, the coffee is amazing, and the pasteries hit the spot!! Definitely a great place to visit. Sleepyhead is also locally owned!!
Some of the best gluten free doughnuts Ive ever had
Nice plant-populated vibe and atmosphere and owned by two great guys. However, the rosemary infused honey espresso tonic I got was espresso + pure la croix + ice. Thats quite frankly false marketing (and off-putting), and also, who uses la croix for an espresso tonic?? Please rename your drink, at least.
Best pumpkin spice latte I’ve ever had
Fantastic latte!
Sleepyhead is great! The coffee, the pastries, and the atmosphere all make for the best coffee shop in town.
Great coffee in a beautiful historic building
I will not return to Sleepyhead. When I asked the barista for a decaf iced americano, she informed me that they do not have decaf espresso but she could make me a decaf pour over. I said “sure I’ll take it iced” but she rudely told me that it would be hot coffee over ice. Even starbucks baristas, with their minimal training, know how to make an iced pour over. I can forgive the fact that they don’t have decaf espresso. However, I cannot forgive the rudeness and obvious lack of training. Don’t waste your money on overpriced, poorly made coffee and horrible service.
BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS EVER! AND IM NOT EVEN VEGAN!
Their coffee is so good & has so many options! They also have amazing, homemade, vegan pastries!!
Great coffee business owned by 2 great guys! Locally owned and operated!
Very nice staff and great cold brew.
This is the best coffee and vegan pastries in town and They really care about their customers. You have to check this place out!!!!
Coffee good, prices a bit much.
I will only drink coffee if it’s made by these guys.
This coffee is delicious!!!!
