When I first started March’s search for Chattanoogas best coffee shop that is exactly what I was looking for. The single best coffee shop in the scenic city. There is something like 65 places to get your caffeine fix, so I picked the top 15 ish to check out. I quickly realized that there was no way I would be able to pick just one “Best” so I did what I do best and reevaluated and decided to bring you Chattanoogas best coffee shop for 5 specific needs.

Best Coffee Shop For To Go Coffee

Be Caffeinated started out as a drive through only coffee shop so its no surprise they rock that niche. While there are other places to get your drinks to go, you’re missing out if you skip Be Caffeinated. With multiple locations including the OG in Red Bank there really is no excuse to not add Be Caffeinated to your morning routine. (or afternoon no judgement here)

Coffee Recommendation: Hazelnut Bliss

Best Coffee Shop For The View

Stone Cup has a balcony with an amazing view of the Walnut Street bridge.  Theres also a fun upstairs area to study, work, read or play games while you enjoy your coffee. I’ve made it kind of obvious I have some extra love for the North Shore so there’s no surprise two of the coffee shops that made the list are here.

Coffee Recommendation: Butterscotch latte

Best Coffee Shop For The Gram

Sleepyhead has a lot going for them. They were just featured in The Scout Guide and just had their 3rd anniversary. With two rooms in a historic building there’s no surprise I love it. The pink, plants, and neon sign all give it exactly what you need for your next insta pic.

Coffee Recommendation: Sleepyhead Latte

Best Coffee Shop For Strong Coffee

Velo is the perfect place to go when you need something stronger than coffee but less than cocaine. Admittedly I don’t drink a lot of caffeine but this month I was and let me tell you, when I left Velo I was 97% convinced their coffee was actually crack. If you need that extra pick-me-up do not even think about going anywhere else. Go straight to velo. You’re welcome.

Coffee Recommendation: Cortado

Best Coffee Shop For Pretending You’re In Paris

Rembrandts is the place to go if you want to pretend you’re in Paris. I’m not sure why you would want to pretend that, but the pastries, chocolates, and outdoor seating are perfect for just that. Or, ya know, just enjoying the Bluff View Arts District.

Coffee Recommendation: Caramel Macchiato
