I absolutely adored this place…read more Drinks - I had the chance to try two different drinks on this visit. The first was an iced matcha with a little added blackberry. It was really smooth and a very nice quality. The second drink was an iced latte from their specialty menu that had been renamed for a special event I was attending. I loved the flavor of the coffee, so much so that I grabbed some of their beans to take home as well. Merch - There was a great selection of merch from the company and local artisans as well. The stickers and mucus has some really cool designs. Staff - the baristas were some of the nicest people. Not only were they slinging drinks and working the event, but they were just amazingly personable and kind to all of our group. Location - most importantly though was the stunning location. The furniture, decor, vibe and even the commitment to theme through the bathrooms was everything. Even the confessionals booth was just perfect. Overall it is definitely a visit, and I will be back.

It was a really cold and windy day so we wanted a hot drink. I asked for an extra hot latte and was…read moretold they do NOT make drinks hotter. When I asked what temp do they make them at I was told 120 degrees which is like a lukewarm latte. We have friends that own coffee shops in NYC and Nashville. We have traveled the world, gone to most coffee shops when we come to visit and grew up in NYC with the meanest baristas and no one has EVER told me that they could not make my drink at min 145 degrees which is what most coffee shops with steam them at. Needless to say we left and did t get drinks here and we won't be back. What the heck??!!

My daughter wanted something fruity and they didn't have much to offer, but worked with us on figuring it out! We ended up adding their homemade fig syrup to a bottle of sparkling water and it got a thumbs up from the kid. Pretty small inside but we were able to snag some barstool seats. Super cozy, dark wood feel. Great lil spot to come in and warm up during cold weather. Staff were also very kind and helpful. Thanks for a great experience!

My wife (commonwealth lady) was surprised at how good they made her tea based on the notes we had put in online. The toddler was happy as a clam with the food. And I'd say that was the best cup of hot chocolate in Chattanooga hands down. Oh, yeah and we had just left the zoo from a day of fun, so let me say it's super convenient to that location fwiw - overall it's a trendy got everything type of coffee shop with gluten free and vegan options so yeah, 11/10 will go back

Go early for the best selection they were out of a lot of options when we went mid morning. Looking forward to visiting again the next time we are in Chattanooga!

As I typically am not on this side of town, I went out of my way to find a new coffee house to try…read more Google identified several very quickly, but I wanted a spot that was not a chain, and not just a drive-thru option as for me, I want to sit, enjoy my coffee, relax a bit, or maybe do a bit of work. Grindhead is a funny little spot, directly behind a Dutch Brothers Coffee with a Caribbean/Pirate theme. So I walk in, and I hear from behind the coffee bar, Ahoy Matey to the sound of the Caribbean music playing in the background. The barista was friendly and helpful as we chatted a bit about the shop. I started with one of their seasonal offerings, an Eggnog Latte they called the Clipper. It was nice, but too sweet on the finish for me. That was on me for going that direction as I know the associated risk. Salt is a featured ingredient in a couple of their coffees, and as the barista had shared with me a recipe she makes at home that includes both salt and vanilla, I asked her to please whip up a latte to her home recipe.......now this was a real treat as the coffee, salt and vanilla worked in real harmony for a delightful drink. This shop is not really convenient for me as I have several good coffee house options in my own neighborhood, but I will be back, if nothing else I need to spend my dabloons.

My friend and I came here on a whim to check this place out. I haven't heard of this place before,…read moreit looks fairly new. This place is located in a plaza with a couple of other businesses so there's a bunch of parking. When we arrived, Bailey helped and picked drinks according to our taste. She's cheery and very friendly. I ordered some time of latte with Lavender and oat milk and my friend got the Crows Nest. I don't remember the name of what I got, but Bailey suggested my Lavender latte (with I think white chocolate?). It was some combination like that. Anyways, my drink was decent. This is a drink I normally get when I go to other coffee places. I love creamy oat milks and lattes, but this drink wasn't creamy enough for me. Also I felt like the lavender syrup was a little too sweet and potent. It overpowered the drink at times, it was just a little too sweet for me. I took a sip of my friend's Crows Nest and I was delighted upon first sip. It was delicious, not too sweet, and good. Maybe if I tried one of their chais or ordered that one, I would've had a better experience. There were so many good things about this place. I thought the coffee shop was cute with the pirate theme and decor. All the employees that we interacted with were wonderful. It's just my drink and the qualms I have with it. I'd come back to try their other drinks though.
