Stopped in for Mean Mug Sunday morning, on our way to the Incline Railroad. I started to park…read moreacross the street, but it was $12.45 for an hour. That's a nope. Instead found parking on the street but later realized there was a parking lot in the back. I wish there was some way to have known about the parking lot as friends who were in a separate car ended up paying the $12.45. 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.

They have a nice covered patio and plenty of seats there as well as some inside in a small dining room off to the left. I was starving as I had skipped lunch and ordered the Chicken Salad on croissant with a pickle and side of chips. It was served with tomato and lettuce and was sooo good. It tasted like it had a bit of curry or something to add some jazz and it was refreshing and delicious. The pickle was also noteworthy. I purchased a toffee snack and biscotti for later and both were also good. Service at the register was super friendly and I enjoyed my quick lunch here people-watching. It's a popular spot.

It was a busy morning but the service was still pretty quick. I ordered the world famous breakfast biscuit plate and my husband ordered the breakfast plate. The food was delicious but could have been served a little hotter. I love that they offer a Morningstar Farms veggie sausage and even a gluten free bagel option. They have really good coffee. My husband had the regular house coffee and I had the pumpkin spice cold brew. I definitely recommend this place.

As I've visited coffee shops around town, my focus has strictly been on the coffee. As so many of…read morethe shops outsource their limited menu offerings, I kept my focus on the coffee experience. Livingstone is within a comfortable walking distance to my home, and when one of my neighbors offered as we were drinking our coffee at Mad Priest, that I must try their food here at Livingstone, today I decided to do just that. We started simply enough, with the lavender Lemon Scone, absolutely delicious! Then I decided to take a closer look at the menu and was blown away by the food offerings available, they are doing some magical things in that little kitchen in the back. If you're looking for some ideas, talk to the staff, they're happy to be of assistance. It's a cute little spot, but their best feature this time of year might be their little courtyard out back. I just wish there was an easier way to access it other than walking back out to the street and then circling around back.

I have been going to Mean Mug for over 4 years now. It is the most convienent coffee shop in…read moreChattanooga. There was a time where I told people, "Mean Mug is a great place to meet up but the coffee is just okay." Then there was a time that I told people, "Wow Mean Mug's coffee has gotten a lot better!" And now we are back to my first issue with Mean Mug, the coffee. Every time that I get a regular coffee with nothing in it, I sit back and wonder, how could it be this bad? Maybe Mean Mug uses their convenince to outweigh their coffee. I'd rather make my own coffee and just use the space.

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.
