    It's so pleasant to be able to buy a latte and meet with friends in a place that's been around even before the great flood in the book of Genesis when the world was called "Middle Earth" "In those days, and for some time after, giant Nephilites lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times." Genesis 6:4 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/gen.6.4.NLT

    Menu (notice the price of the "Alternative Milks")

    I really dug this spot. Good coffee, laid back atmosphere, nice staff. I wish I had more time to spend in a place with such a nice ambience. And major brownie points for conscientiously not up charging for non-dairy milks!

    My boyfriend and myself wanted to try a new place for brunch; so we stumbled upon The Meeting House. However, I was disappointed with it not meeting my expectations. Very cute, spacious location, but it just didn't cut it for me. The barista was rude and not informative at all. She appeared to not like her job too much. We would ask her questions about the menu and she would answer them annoyed or with a little attitude that gave off the impression that we should already know this information. After looking at the menu for a few minutes, I decided that I wanted the house soup and the Fairy Godmother sandwich. They were out of the house soup, so I settled for the black bean pasta salad. It had NO SALT or FLAVORING to it at all!! I was so shocked at how bland it was; especially with it being a pasta salad. As for the Fairy Godmother Sandwich...It was...okay. I believe it would have tasted better if it was cooked like a panini, but instead the bread was toasted first and then the other ingredients were placed on it. Making it feel a little dry and not very flavorful. The sandwich was also over priced; especially knowing that I could easily make this sandwich at home. This could be a great place and maybe this one time it was just an off day; but I wasn't impressed with it unfortunately.

    The Cowboy - all this can be yours - only $8.75

    Underwhelming, slow and overpriced. My friend and I stopped by here for lunch at about 1:05 p.m. This restaurant is located in the small strip of businesses in downtown Red Bank which have been there since the 1930's. I ordered the Cowboy sandwich, with a side of pasta salad. They don't have soda machines. If you order a Coke, you get a bottle handed to you out of the cooler. I put my credit card in the machine. It would not let me hit "okay" for the total. Why? Well - according to the lady behind the counter - it is because I have to add a tip. Huh??!! I haven't tasted the food. I'm not being served anything. I'm ordering at a counter but I HAVE to put in a tip? I have never experienced this before. Part of me just wanted to hit cancel and pay cash but okay. Then it didn't just want to let me add 10% - the minimum was 15%. To add a manual tip in, I had to jump through some extra digital hoops. I am finally able to pay. We pick a table and sit and wait and wait and wait. After about 20 minutes the counter person tells us there is only enough pasta to give one of us pasta salad. Okay. I'm getting chips, I guess. After another 25 minutes we are served. My friend gets her hot dog and I get my tiny sandwich. As a plus, she only puts one set of silverware on the table. I ask, "Are we supposed to share?" Maybe it's a new dining trend, who knows? She meekly brought out another set but c'mon... For a bag of chips, a small sandwich and a bottle of Diet Coke, I paid - with obligatory tip, more than $12.00. I will not be back. There are too many choices in the Chattanooga area to be told I have to tip before I eat and then to have to wait 45 minutes for a sandwich. On the plus side, the restaurant is lovely. The space has been renovated in an airy and gracious way. You are eating in pleasant surroundings but you will leave poorer and still hungry. At least I did.

    Our amazing coffee and giant cookie

    This place is so cute and the food was great! My husband and i got waffles which were so filling and yummy we split a French press and it's some of the best coffee I've ever had! The blonde girl who brought us out food was so kind and went above and beyond her duties. I highly recommend this place!

    Great coffee with even greater people! We were greeted very politely upon arrival and the music is perfect for the establishment. I highly recommend stopping by for coffee to anyone who is reading this.

And even though the website and the menu says they serve soup, apparently they don't. The staff was friendly, so I wouldn't fault them for the lack of flavor in everything we ordered or equipment not heating up pre-made sandwiches properly.

    It's been years since I was here last. I remember liking this place the last time I came. Recently,…read moreI met up with a friend here and we both enjoyed our orders and time here. I ordered an iced Milk & Honey Latte with oat milk. I was also surprised to see an assortment of wraps and sandwiches by the counter. So I picked up a Chicken Salad sandwich. I loved my sandwich, it was so delicious. One thing about me, I love a good chicken salad sandwich and I was satisfied. My latte was tasty too. The oat milk was creamy, it complemented the espresso well. It was a little sweeter than I would like, and it got better for me after getting watered down a bit. But that's just my preference. I'm sure that if I were to order another drink again, I could just ask for less sweetener. There's many places to sit: there's an upstairs area, a separate room with so many seating options, high tables and chairs, etc. It felt like there were more people who were studying and working rather than chatting. So we were trying to be mindful and not talk super loud. Also they have a free parking lot right outside which was great. So there's a school right across the street from the cafe. At the time my friend and I left the cafe, there were a bunch of students walking after their school day ended I presume. But when I was trying to leave, there were parents who would park in the parking lot (not in a parking space) and block a couple cars while waiting for their kids to get out. So it took me a good 10-15 minutes for me to leave my space and get out of the parking lot because of the car parked right in front of me. That's just one thing to keep in mind if you visit. I really enjoyed this place, I'd definitely visit again. It's a 4.5/5 for me. Next time I'd definitely come early and leave early so leaving the parking lot won't be as difficult or time consuming.

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.

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.
