Crema's Take

“This Southside gem pulls off the rare trick of being equally welcoming whether you're settling in with your laptop for hours or grabbing a quick espresso—the friendly baristas and abundant seating across a charming brick building make everyone feel at home. Their espresso-focused drinks shine alongside an impressive spread of breakfast options that go well beyond typical coffee shop fare, from inventive tofu scramble bagels to properly seasoned cheesy grits, with plenty of vegetarian choices that don't feel like an afterthought. The modern urban vibe and early opening hours make it the kind of place locals keep coming back to, whether for the quality coffee and fresh ingredients or simply because the whole experience just feels right.”

Awesome place with lots of vegetarian options. My boyfriend and I got the tofu scramble bagels and they were DELICIOUS. My boyfriend and I’s drinks were also very good. I’ll definitely be back next time i’m in town. Good prices, I got my bagel, 24oz chai and chips for under $15.

Went there for the first time the other day and had a great experience. Their staff are very friendly and helpful. Their coffee was fresh and had great ingredients in it. They also have a small bakery section that was nice as well.

Excellent coffee and a surprisingly wide variety of breakfast items. Atmosphere and service were both enjoyable. Definitely add this one to your list when in Chattanooga.

Cute shop serving coffee and pastries. It's a long, narrow brick building with tons of seating, in and outside, with friendly baristas serving interesting coffee drinks. It was comfy sitting there, sun streaming in and just relaxing. Here's the Breakdown: Good Coffee, Coffee Good +5 stars I would go back if in town again

This is a super cute coffee shop! I loved the modern urban decor and my sausage, egg and cheese + bacon biscuit was delicious! The cheesy grits were also super good! Very well seasoned and extra creamy. Definitely get the strawberry jam! It tastes so fresh, like they make it in house!
