    100% gluten free and 100% delicious! I come here every time I'm in Chattanooga. Staff is friendly, personable, and ready to answer any questions you may have. The vibe is very cute and thrifty. Definitely a nice spot for some "phone eats first" content.

    This place is AMAZING! Everything is 100% gluten free and the menu is marked for what is dairy free. There is a GF buttermilk biscuit and a GF/vegan biscuit. The menu is set up to order in steps (choose a base, cheese, toppings etc. my husband ordered the chicken (fried! Contains dairy) biscuit and loved it! I ordered the vegan biscuit with vegan cheese and bacon. So good! They also have a GF/vegan cinnamon roll. We have travelled across the country and internationally and I can say this is the best GF dairy free cinnamon roll I've had. Texture and flavor were amazing. It was BIG (3 inches high!). Customer service is great. They make their own coffee syrups so they have clean ingredients and multiple different alternative milks (including nut free options). Highly recommend you get here when they open as it is a microbakery and they sell out quick!

    Ambiance is cool, service was stunning! Accidentally ordered the wrong sandwich, and when my…read morevegetarian partner saw her sandwich had meat, they happily swapped it out and made her a fresh vegetarian sandwich. First time having Stecca! It's great! I'm a bagel lover, I just like mine on the hardier, tougher side rather than soft. They had a specialty bagel with fresh, ripe peaches and thyme which was pretty good. The cream cheese tastes really good, not sure how or why it tastes different from your average Philadelphia cream cheese, but it's got a little extra cheesy flavor in there. But the fresh made Stecca was wonderful! I did the smoked turkey but subbed plain Stecca for garlic and it was great! She didn't love the ratio of zucchini to breading in her fried zucchini stecca they gave us for free, but she just peeled it off and enjoyed it a little lighter. "Just not the vibe for breakfast," she said a little after noon. Definitely stop in, I'd be a regular if I lived here, I think. Friendly staff and good food.

    This was our last stop before heading home from Chattanooga, and it was a nice way to end the trip…read more We visited on a Sunday morning, so it was pretty busy, but we only waited about 5-10 minutes before our order was taken. We ordered a cold brew, a tahini hot vanilla latte with almond milk, and two bagels with cream cheese and bacon. The drinks were excellent, especially the tahini latte, it had great flavor and wasn't overly sweet. The bagels were soft and fresh, and the bacon was a nice addition. The only downside was that the cream cheese tasted a little more tangy than I prefer. Seating downstairs was limited, but there is additional seating upstairs that felt quieter and more spacious. Overall, a great spot for coffee and a quick breakfast.

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. The sourdough toast was exceptional, with a crisp crust and great texture, and my cappuccino was exactly what I hoped for--smooth, balanced, and expertly made. The setting was just as enjoyable. Housed in a beautifully restored historic train station, the atmosphere has genuine character that complements the food rather than trying to distract from it. A breakfast that's driven by quality ingredients instead of gimmicks. I would gladly return and highly recommend it.

My wife has a gluten and dairy allergy, and I've got a tree nut allergy, Alpha-Gal, plus a diabetes kicker. We're usually a solid test for any kitchen. Both visits, the staff passed. Knowledgeable, showed genuine concern, and were able to make accommodations without a lot of back-and-forth. Good selection on the menu meant we weren't working from a short list of options either. 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. Easy place to settle in whether you're with a crowd or just the two of you. Good for: small kids, business meals, casual meals, groups Would come back. Already did once.

I absolutely loved the décor. The menu is extensive, and it was hard to choose just one thing, so my friend and I ordered two juices (Dope Beets & Let's Kick It Out) and two plates (the Grilled Pimento Panini and the Buddha Bowl) to share. The juices were phenomenal. Honestly, I would go back just for those. I really wanted to love the food, but unfortunately, it lacked flavor. I even ordered a cookie to try to redeem the meal, but that missed the mark as well. I felt especially bad because I brought a non-vegan friend and didn't want their first impression of vegan food to be a disappointing one, but sadly, that's how it turned out. That said, I'd be willing to return and try something different. Maybe it was just an off day, or perhaps the dishes we chose just weren't the best representation of the menu. I'd definitely come back for the juices, and I'm curious to try the smoothies too. Those might be a winner. I really want this place to thrive and wish them all the best! I really love their concept and support their mission 100%.

I got the jackfruit sandwich, the texture was amazing, but I believe it was very salty (I got a mix of buffalo and barbecue sauce mix) and with that I believe getting only barbecue might be better to keep the saltiness level of the sandwich down. My friend was very impressed with how real the cheesy taco tasted, good cheese taste and texture. The Buddha bowl had a beautiful presentation and was very balanced and nutritious. YUM! Would definitely recommend.
