Crema's Take

Tucked inside a charming old mill building in Chattanooga, this cozy spot surprises visitors with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that perfectly balances specialty coffee expertise with a genuine bakery program featuring standout items like their jalapeño popper bagel sandwich. The staff here seem genuinely invested in helping you discover something new, whether you're ordering a traditional espresso drink, adventurous matcha lemonade, or one of their excellent pastries, making it feel less like a transaction and more like a conversation with knowledgeable friends.

The Old Mill exterior my fool you, but once you step inside it’s WILDLY different! The coffee and food are great, the atmosphere is very pleasant, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. If you are someone who loves stopping at the occasional coffee shop, this is one you need to visit.

We stopped in at First Bloom Coffee and Bakery this afternoon. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and immediately felt welcome. Since it was our first visit, Dakota walked us through the coffee and bakery menu and took our order. We mentioned we were new to the area, and he kindly recommended other places in town to check out, which we really appreciated. I had a Peppermint Mocha that had the perfect amount of peppermint, and my wife chose one of the holiday coffees. We shared a hazelnut chocolate croissant that was flaky, rich, and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and the old wool factory location gave it a whimsical charm that made the experience even more enjoyable. The highlight of our visit was Dakota’s genuine friendliness and the unique old-world factory setting. With plenty of parking and a scenic, interesting location, First Bloom Coffee and Bakery is a wonderful spot we look forward to visiting again

What a find! My goodness where has this place been in my life! We were thrilled to find this fabulous cozy coffee spot and bakery in such a gorgeous location! We had a matcha lemonade with added strawberries, 2 iced Amber Waves and a pour over. All were delicious! I had one of the Amber Waves and it tasted like homemade syrup with a lovely balance of acidity and creaminess. My goodness we will be back!

Great selection of coffee drinks, tea, and pastries. I got a very tasty jalapeño popper bagel sandwich. The staff is very friendly and willing to make suggestions. It’s a worthy detour if you like hole in the wall coffee shops. 10/10 will go again.
