But I can say it was all worth it. I did read in other reviews that the line usually moves fast but for us that was not the case. One of the people taking orders was taking to two customers for no joke 10-15 minutes which delayed the line movement. We were able to find a seat and they did have high chairs available for young kids. This is always super helpful. We got our pastry and waited about 15 minutes for our food. Once we were seated I was able to really take in the atmosphere of the place and the delicious food. The kids turkey sandwich was full size, which I was not expecting. Everything was very affordable considering they use high quality local products. Check it out if you are in town! Pro tip: We did not know that they would validate your parking... so we paid for street parking. But if you can grab a spot in their lot there is a validation station inside! Free for 1.5 hours.

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.

Staff seemed unconcerned with customers, and stayed busy chatting with themselves. There were lines to get a table and lines at the counter. Was there any staff in either area who was alert or welcoming or friendly? No, there was not. So much so, in both areas we saw groups leave for a lack of attention from anyone. The lack of customer service here was disappointing. Even at the register several times while there was a long line, employees would avoid or abandon the register (and not to make drinks), leaving the waiting line and empty cash register, and then occasionally looking over like it wasn't their problem that customers were there. One employee was on a lengthy phone call while standing at the register before addressing the guest in front of them and then left. Another came to the register and helped one guest and then left (not to make a drink) and then another did the same. Maybe it had been a long day. Maybe the world's largest order just got fulfilled. That would be fine. Just be honest and acknowledge those who are trying to spend their money at your coffee shop and don't treat them like being there is an inconvenience to you. This experience was disappointing and I won't be back. There are lots of other great Chattanooga choices that will gladly and kindly welcome your business and you will enjoy a better experience.

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.

We have been in here several times. First few times were fine but the last visit I felt like we appeared on jerry Springer. Walking in the host sparkle was to obsessed with her phone and seemed annoyed we came in. Then she sat us at a dirty table saying she was going to find a server. I questioned the find a server because I observed a couple with other tables. My husband ask if one of the servers there could take our table. Point blank she said no because it was basically her decision. After about 10 minutes our server Fletcher finally came in smelling of smoke. We requested a different table but were told no. We decided to order stuff quick to eat but when it came out wrong Fletcher got mad. We watched as he basically threw the plate at the kitchen. The two girls behind the bar just laughed. We were waiting on food to be thrown at us. On the way out the server was telling the host he hopped we never came back because we didn't tip what he deserved. Not a problem we will not be back. read more

My wife and I made a stop in here on Saturday after the hotel recommended it. The atmosphere is charming and relaxing. Our server Miranda was friendly and entertaining. Coming to greet us she apologized for the delay. We had only been sitting maybe 30 seconds. She stated she was delayed because she ran into a wall. My wife ask if she was tired she responded no I really ran into the wall. The food was amazing. Miranda was excellent in recommending selections and even explained her favorites even though they make a weird combination to some. She had us laughing our entire visit and made us feel like family. From the food to the service everyone needs to come to this restaurant. Ask for Miranda and we promise you will love her. We had the chicken and waffles which were amazing. A manager and chef talked to us as well. As frequent travelers to the Chattanooga area we will try our best to become regulars. I wish I could leave more than five stars. read more

I don't even know where to start. When we first came in we got a weird feeling like we were walking into a cult ran by zombies. Our server made it very clear he only cared about what he was getting 'tipped'. He was arguing with other staff some appeared to be management about how he didn't want to be there if he wasn't going to make money because other employees were coming in. Then he sat down on the couch because there was no point in him working is what he told a woman who appeared to be a manager and she agreed with him. When it came time to pay we were honestly afraid he was going to chase us if our tip wasn't enough. Fletcher if you read this since that was the name on our receipt, you might want to apply somewhere that might pay you more. read more

I will start with the good. Location is convenient. Food is decent in size and tastes pretty good to be gluten free. It's odd that honey mustard isn't available for chicken tenders. Now on to the bad. Service is worse than other places. The server Spar'kle that we had is obnoxious. Don't expect refills with this server. The only reason I am writing a review is she ask me to because of a contest she is trying to win. What kind of contest being slow in providing service? Which person can be the most obnoxious? I don't recommend anyone ever stopping in here. The atmosphere has a weird feeling and service is not a top priority. If you do visit try the fried okra. read more

I'm a frequent Sunday bruncher here, my usual is the bean burrito, add spinach and tomato. This is a grate establishment that always has the best music playing. Highly recommended to any gluten free people out there, even though their fried chicken is gluten free it is still some of the best fried chicken I've had. The staff and managers here all act like I'm family and I'm happy to see them every Sunday. read more

Yellow deli is one of the best restaurants in Chattanooga in terms of tourist experience due to it being truly once of the first yellow delis. Although the staff might be a bit off putting at times, they are very kind and respectful of the customers that come in--all of them are very gentle and soft spoken. If you are in a rush this is not the place to go because their service time is respectfully slower than most. The interior of yellow deli is so beautiful, very much old cottage/pub like style--the whole place has intricate woodwork, warm/soft lighting, and giant murals on the wall. I am vegetarian, and get the veggie burger a majority of my visits, and it is TO DIE FOR in terms of flavor. I have been aching to get my hands on the recipe because it really is that good. On that note, it is difficult to eat at times because the patty comes apart, I would ask for a fork and I'm sure you will receive. Before I went vegetarian my go to was the deli rose and the saltiness of the deli meat with the sweetness of the sauce is unbelievable. The bread is house made and is undoubtedly fresh and delicious. There is not one time I have been that the quality of food they serve has slacked. I definitely recommend!
