Mad Priest Coffee Roasters
1200 McCallie Ave, Chattanooga, TN
Crema's Take
“This roastery brings irreverent charm and genuine warmth to Chattanooga's coffee scene, with a playfully sacrilegious aesthetic featuring vintage religious art and salvaged church pews that make every visit feel like a delightful secret discovery. The baristas are as welcoming as the atmosphere is cozy, crafting consistently excellent coffee in a thoughtfully designed space that celebrates inclusivity and community alongside perfectly executed specialty drinks. Whether you're catching up on work or grabbing a pre-game caffeine boost, Mad Priest manages to feel both artfully distinctive and genuinely inviting—the kind of place where you'll want to linger.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Family friendly.

I love MP’s new space!! It’s a unique and inclusive space. I love that about them. I’ll always support a business that is on the side of all humans. Their veggie quiche was amazingly good.
The baristas are lovely and the new space is so cozy; it’s comforting to be surrounded by wood and warm colors. The temperature feels like a slightly cracked open oven which is perfect temp for the light sweater I had with me. I love when they have new drink specials to try.…
One of my new favorite spots in town to sit and work! Love the vibe and atmosphere of the new location on McCallie. My coffee is always great, made quickly, and everyone is kind. Very inclusive and tons of seating areas. Definitely check this new spot out!
