Crema's Take

Tucked on Chattanooga's Dartmouth Street, this independent spot excels at the full breakfast-through-lunch experience with thoughtfully crafted food that matches its genuinely smooth espresso—think perfectly poured latte art alongside homemade jam on warm biscuits and generously portioned burritos. The real magic is in the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff who make you feel like a regular from your first visit, whether you're claiming a cozy indoor seat or settling into their lovely outdoor space.

Great food and atmosphere. Fair pricing! Good coffee. I had the chorizo burrito and it was delicious and generously portioned. The salted caramel latte was great too! Will be coming back here for sure! It’s a quiet, chill environment with an “order at the counter” set up. There’s outdoor seating here too for when the weather warms up.

Daily Ration never misses. My latte came out with the sweetest little heart on top and tasted just as good as it looked. The espresso shot was smooth, the biscuits with homemade jam were incredible, and the breakfast burrito was honestly next level. We sat outside under the heaters and it was such a cozy, relaxed way to start the morning. I grabbed a few photos to share the vibe. If you enjoy them, feel free to check out my other reviews. Daily Ration is absolutely worth a stop for your next brunch or coffee run.

The restaurant had a really comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were super nice and attentive, which made the experience even better. The flapjacks were delicious, and the hot chocolate was rich and perfectly made.✨ Everything was beautifully presented — I’d definitely come back again!

Located on Dartmouth Street in Chattanooga, this breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurant is open 7 days a week (I don’t know their holiday schedule). We arrived around 11 a.m. on a Saturday morning. You order at the counter, are given a number, and you find a seat. They have a few tables inside. Most tables are outside on the mostly covered patio. A few tables are not covered/shaded. They have a great menu options and have coffees and cocktail offerings. A couple of us had the chorizo burrito. In our group we also ordered the Breakfast Burrito, Grits, Kids Waffle w/ blueberries, bacon, and syrup, iced latte, and coffee. Everything was delicious in generous portions. They have two restrooms.

Great outdoor eating, inside space is great too, food was thoughtfully put together and very tasty! The chicken was awesome and the burrito was great! Loved the healthy options as well as the splurges! The outdoor seating was fantastic- even in the rain! There’s a parking lot as well as on the street parking. We did have to go find inside to ask for refills twice but they were super attentive other than that. You must give it a try!
