Blue Front is a smaller coffee shop but they still have tables and seating that includes all sort of comfy chairs. They have wifi and power and that let me get some work done this morning for a couple of hours. I did try my usual cortado and cheers to the barista who was unfamiliar with the concept and tried hard. It's a small glass - only two shots of espresso with an equivalent amount of steamed (not foamed) milk. What I had this morning was closer to a latte with very little foam. It was still okay and I hope she'll do better next time. [Review 18183 overall - 304 in Tennessee - 1705 of 2022.]

The reviews were high so I had to try this place while visiting Sweetwater. I stopped in for a hot…read morecocoa and a pastry. I liked the look of the space and I was greeted when entering. I'm not sure if the person at the counter was new or training but he didn't know if they served hot cocoa. Another staff member taught him how to prepare it and ring it up. She asked if I wanted whipped cream but didn't say it was a $1 up charge which is quite steep for a drink that's only $3.50 or so to start. It was just canned whipped cream so that felt very pricey: the cocoa was average. I also ordered a cheese Danish to go and the employee just opened a box and the lid of the Danish cloche and told me to grab one. I feel like they should use a paper to grab it; I don't like the thought of other customers putting their hands in to choose. I also didn't want to touch my own pastry with my bare hands before washing. It didn't really make me want to return to try a sandwich. I understand that new employees need training, if that was the case. But I do think they should be familiar with what basic beverages are available.

Updated Review: Attention Yelpers. Doesn't seem worth explaining but for the uninitiated from a…read morelarger metro area, a needed heads up. Kind of obvious but maybe needs to be said. This is rural Tennessee. Freight trains, are frequent as the mountain mist. Prosperity, polish and pretentiousness entertained elsewhere, are not hosted here. The economic situation painted in a small town such as this that has been crushed economically as industries ebb and change, represents those who have sacrificed much. Evidences of sagging retail architecture edifices abound. Or as David Rose from Canadian TV might say, "look like a sad bag of potting soil." Feel free to disagree. The good: The coffee roasting and flavor @ Harmony House are way up from 5 years ago. I'm now ordering by mail from HH, Costa Rican and Ethiopian coffee. Have two fans in H town who fell in love with John's coffee roasting. I hope he considers to start selling coffee online. Carefronting Part One: FYI this establishment does accept credit cards. That is what I used to make purchases. Although throughout the town, cash is king as many small towns, unique locals or small businesses across the country (USA) are. I.e. Martha's Vineyard (Island) in Massachusetts. This is life: Artisan coffee roaster jovial, quick to laugh at his own jokes but honest and desiring to serve his community. He's genuine, focused on the best cuppa, perplexed by those who don't appreciate his passion for coffee. One of his faults. I'm probably as acerbic and moody. (Don't answer that.) The current building owner is woefully not interested in updating the property. That's unfortunate and also out of the HH proprietors hands. Interior seating updates however are on the way. And perhaps luring breakfast menu items beyond scones. We shall see. Meanwhile, if you are longing for pretty good coffee, this is a place I would pull off the interstate for. No Starbucks for miles. Confession, I packed my suitcase with 5 bags of coffee. And I'll probably be ordering soon. To mix metaphors it's not everyone's cup of tea. If you want more vibe and vitality with interiors to caffeinate, go for it. But don't shame a small town for not living up to a standardized platform. Meanwhile I'll keep ordering coffee from here. And the hot tea here is just as delicious. 5 stars for the caffeinating quality & options 3 for interiors 5 for staying power in a teeny, tiny small town My two cents: John, If given the go ahead, I'd put in new wood laminate flooring, a wall sized chalkboard / art wall and a funky lighting fixture w Edison bulbs and especially include a long community table, made from a local tree heavily lacquered festooned w bar stools.) Yep. In sum: Rolling green Mountain View's at one end of the street, clouds lingering over the mountain, and a bubbling fountain & mini park w covered picnic tables in the HH parking lot. Library & Post Office a few steps away. Not much to look in this town in ways of glitter and glam. (Although once famous for the Scopes Monkey trial) Yep. This is life in the slow, slow lane with good to great coffee. Bottoms up.

He took the time to ask us what we were using the beans for (lattes) and recommended his espresso roast. He even asked us how soon we'd be using them and recommended the best way to keep them fresh since we still had half an open bag to get thru back home. He is clearly passionate about coffee. We've been enjoying his beans at home for a week now and my husband and I both think they are by far the best beans we've ever used. My only regret is that we only bought one bag, going to have to look into getting more shipped to us ASAP :) Shop was spacious, maybe more dated than you'd see in a bigger city but the population of Dayton is only about 7,000, enjoy the small town vibes. Great location downtown and plenty of room inside to sit/study for locals and college students.
