We had about a 10 minute walk from the Read House but I'm pretty sure I would walk 10 miles for another egg bagel and latte LOL So good!! Best bagel I've ever had. Crispy edges, fluffy, yet perfectly chewy texture, amazing flavor and the egg was so delicate and delicious! I had the salted maple & tahini latte, my husband had a fresh brewed small batch. Both were exceptional! We visit Chattanooga several times a year so there's no doubt, we'll be back ❣️

What a great little bagel shop. I had the trout bagel. It was a great spin on bagel and lox. And my wife have egg bagel with bacon. All of it was so good and fresh. The espresso with Vanilla Coke chaser was on point. Must stop spot.

Came to Chatt from Atlanta for my boyfriend’s birthday and we heard about this place from a video we saw online and decided to come check it out. The guy working the counter was so knowledgeable about the drinks and man was he spot on! We had the pecan latte and also the italian sandwich - TO DIE FOR!! Everyone was so kind and the atmosphere was perfect. It literally felt like cozying up at home. We will be back to chattanooga just to come here again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Smelling Cafe with Must-Try Coffee! For real, the smell of fresh bread as you walk in is all you can focus on! 😍 This place is beautiful, quaint, and has a chill vibe. The food and coffee are exceptional! I ordered the Trout Bagel (fresh bread, so good! FYI: the trout is blended into the cream cheese spread). I also tried two lattes: the Salted Maple & Tahini and the Orange & Honey Cappuccino. If I had to choose(which is difficult), it would be the Orange & Honey Cappuccino—the subtle orange flavor,mixed with the espresso is delicious!

How does one fully describe just how good Hungry Mother is? I'm going to try, first off you can tell as soon as you walk in just how much attention to detail and care is put into every aspect. The owners and staff are always so welcoming and take their time describing new specials. Don't know if I can say "specials" because everything is SPECIAL!! You really can't go wrong with anything! And I don't know how they do it but their coffees are so unique and flavorful. It takes incredible talent to pack so much flavor into a cappuccino or latte without making it overly sweet but they do it!! Very flavor forward without the crazy sweetness like other shops. AND the cortado and cappuccino cups are made by a local potter, AWESOME! So do yourself a favor and stop here for breakfast or lunch to experience the magic.
