Grindhead Coffee

Grindhead Coffee is my new favorite coffee shop in East Brainerd and Chattanooga in general really. In my opinion the coffee tastes SO much better than Starbucks. It's smoother, richer, and actually tastes fresh instead of burnt. There are lots of different options but lately I've been enjoying their cappuccinos and chai. Also the staff is always so friendly and welcoming which makes a difference in my eyes. You can tell this is a locally owned coffee shop that truly cares about its customers. The pirate vibe gives the place personality and makes it feel fun and unique instead of corporate. If you’re looking for a great local coffee spot in East Brainerd, I'd highly recommend checking out this gem!

This place is awesome as it is decked out with pirate stuff all over!!! The coffee is good too! Next time we will try an apple empanada mmmmm The girl who helped us today (12/20/2025) right at closing was so awesome and friendly! I also wish I could have a coffee mug skull just like on their sticker. That would be so rad!

Grindhead Coffee – Chattanooga, TN Grindhead Coffee is an easy standout in Chattanooga. Even during the day, the theming is awesome and full of character, with a clear nautical influence that makes the space feel creative and intentional without being over the top. One of the coolest touches is the **custom tabletop games**. They’re a fun, unique addition that gives you something to engage with while you hang out, and it really sets Grindhead apart from a typical coffee shop. The **merch is legitimately cool**—well-designed and clearly thought out, not just generic logo items. Most importantly, the **coffee is good**. The drinks are well-crafted and flavorful, with nautical-themed names that tie into the overall concept nicely. Overall, Grindhead Coffee feels original, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. A great stop whether you’re passing through or looking for a place to slow down and enjoy a solid cup of coffee. ☕️ ⚓️ 🔱

I stopped here to get coffee because the Dutch Brothers out in front of it does not serve regular black coffee. I was glad I stopped!! The service was spectacular and the coffee was very flavorful. Keep in mind I drank black coffee but the beans they use have a very wonderful flavor and I am certain that this will carry over into their lattes and cappuccino. If you are ever in this area please stop in and feel free to reply to my review with your thoughts if that is possible.

I have been wanting to try them out for a long time and was never able to catch up with the truck being from dalton, but finally got to and it is absolutely amazing. Great music playing very chill and helpful staff. Tons of exciting merchandise and the coffees are amazing! The breakfast patsies are very good and got s huge kick out of the miniature bottles of tabasco sauce. They exceeded every expectation I had and they definitely earned a repeat customer anytime I am in the area
