It is super welcoming with free parking and an eclectic decor. Vien was our waiter and he was amazing! He helped us with the menu, had some great suggestions and was entertaining and attentive throughout. He made our meal! We started with the House-Made Potato Chip Nachos, and they were fantastic--loaded with flavor and a great way to kick things off. We all agreed they were much better than regular tortilla nachos. For my entrée, I went with the Muffaletta, and it did not disappoint. The bread was perfectly crisp, the sandwich was packed with flavor, and the side of wood-fired vegetables gave it a really nice twist. She had the Shrimp and Crab Po'Boy special, which she absolutely loved, especially paired with the Confusion Potatoes. Those potatoes were definitely worth mentioning on their own. Our tablemates had the Shrimp Po'Boy and Parilla Steak and Shrimp and both loved their meal. And then came dessert: Beignets. Light, warm, and dusted just right, they brought back memories of the French Quarter in New Orleans. A pretty great way to finish the meal. We wish we were closer to Chattanooga so we could frequent this place often.

Maybe a blessing in disguise since it was a healthier option. Only two gender-neutral bathrooms so prepare for a wait. There was a line the entire time we were there.

We ordered the veggie omelette and the Broadbent omelette, and both were generously filled with fresh, well-balanced ingredients. Nothing overpowered anything else. Instead of relying on heavy spices or sauces, the flavors came naturally from the quality and proportion of the ingredients themselves.

Housed in a beautifully restored historic train station, the atmosphere has genuine character that complements the food rather than trying to distract from it.

Food was good across both visits--consistent, which matters as much as a single great meal. My son particularly liked the Brunch Sausage Burger. Looked good, and seemed entirely appropriate after a late night. Large space, tables well spread out, and located not far from downtown.

There are tons of vegan options, and you don't have to look too hard for gf options if that's your jam. The store itself is packed with amazing health food items like mushroom coffee, shilajit, matcha, electrolytes, and so much more. They also have a refrigerated grab-and-go section with fresh juices, rice paper rolls, chia seed pudding, and a lentil casserole. The glass dessert case is full of vegan treats like peanut butter and chocolate cups, bliss balls, and donuts. The menu is extensive with tons of great organic vegan options. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough (they also offer gluten-free and multigrain) with cashew cheese and a side of chili. I also got a beet juice, a lemon lavender muffin, chia seed pudding, and a decaf oat milk latte. The sandwich was pretty good. The bread seemed really fresh and I enjoyed the cashew cheese. The side of chili had a slight twist that elevated it above most regular chili recipes. It was good, but had a little too much corn for my taste personally. The beet juice was delicious and a generous portion. The desserts were just okay, but I appreciated that they weren't overly sweet and didn't have any weird ingredients. Honestly, it's just so nice knowing your food has no weird ingredients and everything is organic! The only downside was the coffee. Honestly, it was probably one of the worst I've ever had. Maybe it was just an off day or a mistake, I'm not sure. Everything else was good though! I would definitely recommend this spot. The decor is really cute and inviting. I love that they offer plenty of seating options too -- indoor, an enclosed outdoor patio, and an exterior exposed patio. Logistical Notes: Parking was super easy with a lot right out front. There are two accessible bathrooms for people with disabilities, and I love that they have a gender-inclusive restroom as well. You order at the register, they bring you your food, and then you bus your own "tray."

So we arrived at the coffee shop just before the rush and I ordered a strawberry lemonade and a almond Joy doughnut. The strawberry lemonade was so sweet that I added water twice to it, but could not drink it and eventually took it home and later the next day at additional water to help balance out the sweetness. The donut on the other hand, was not that sweet. It was a basic donut with a little bit of chocolate, coconut flakes and almond flakes. It was not that good and I was quite disappointed. My friend ordered a cinnamon roll and raved about it the entire time plus other friends ordered coffee and they all enjoyed it. So definitely a place to come back for coffee.

We have been in here several times. First few times were fine but the last visit I felt like we appeared on jerry Springer. Walking in the host sparkle was to obsessed with her phone and seemed annoyed we came in. Then she sat us at a dirty table saying she was going to find a server. I questioned the find a server because I observed a couple with other tables. My husband ask if one of the servers there could take our table. Point blank she said no because it was basically her decision. After about 10 minutes our server Fletcher finally came in smelling of smoke. We requested a different table but were told no. We decided to order stuff quick to eat but when it came out wrong Fletcher got mad. We watched as he basically threw the plate at the kitchen. The two girls behind the bar just laughed. We were waiting on food to be thrown at us. On the way out the server was telling the host he hopped we never came back because we didn't tip what he deserved. Not a problem we will not be back. read more

My wife and I made a stop in here on Saturday after the hotel recommended it. The atmosphere is charming and relaxing. Our server Miranda was friendly and entertaining. Coming to greet us she apologized for the delay. We had only been sitting maybe 30 seconds. She stated she was delayed because she ran into a wall. My wife ask if she was tired she responded no I really ran into the wall. The food was amazing. Miranda was excellent in recommending selections and even explained her favorites even though they make a weird combination to some. She had us laughing our entire visit and made us feel like family. From the food to the service everyone needs to come to this restaurant. Ask for Miranda and we promise you will love her. We had the chicken and waffles which were amazing. A manager and chef talked to us as well. As frequent travelers to the Chattanooga area we will try our best to become regulars. I wish I could leave more than five stars. read more

I don't even know where to start. When we first came in we got a weird feeling like we were walking into a cult ran by zombies. Our server made it very clear he only cared about what he was getting 'tipped'. He was arguing with other staff some appeared to be management about how he didn't want to be there if he wasn't going to make money because other employees were coming in. Then he sat down on the couch because there was no point in him working is what he told a woman who appeared to be a manager and she agreed with him. When it came time to pay we were honestly afraid he was going to chase us if our tip wasn't enough. Fletcher if you read this since that was the name on our receipt, you might want to apply somewhere that might pay you more. read more

I will start with the good. Location is convenient. Food is decent in size and tastes pretty good to be gluten free. It's odd that honey mustard isn't available for chicken tenders. Now on to the bad. Service is worse than other places. The server Spar'kle that we had is obnoxious. Don't expect refills with this server. The only reason I am writing a review is she ask me to because of a contest she is trying to win. What kind of contest being slow in providing service? Which person can be the most obnoxious? I don't recommend anyone ever stopping in here. The atmosphere has a weird feeling and service is not a top priority. If you do visit try the fried okra. read more
