    This was THE greatest coffee experience during my daughter and I's recent vacation. It was packed but customer service was excellent and we barely had any wait at all for our orders. The decorations yall...the whole concept is a must see while in Chattanooga. You MUST try the drink named after LOTR. Daughter said it was life changing.

    The "HERMIT", give it a try, DELICIOUS

    They have just opened their new spot at 1200 McCallie Ave. This is the third coffee cafe you can find in or adjacent to the Highland Park neighborhood. It's like I've shared with my Family, good coffee is almost a religion here in Chattanooga, and arguably, at Mad Priest, it is a religion. The beauty of living here is, you can stop by a wonderful coffee shop like Mad Priest, relax, do a little work, socialize, grab a to-go order if in a hurry, and even more importantly, pick up some of their fresh roasted coffee so you can enjoy their great brew in the comfort of your own home. This is not a Starbucks wannabe, they imitate no one, blazing their own path within this wonderful beverage segment. You want to talk the intricacies of coffee, learn the subtleties of the beverage, this is where you want to go. Great service, great atmosphere, and most importantly, great coffee

    MAD FOR MAD PRIEST | tldr: tiny little coffee shop with limited seating but dog friendly inside. My late friend (rest in peace vic) recommended I check out Mad Priest and I was so happy I did. Super low key and the coffee hit the spot first thing in the AM. The decor is everything I imagined Mad Priest would be - super quirky and fun, with some cool merch, too. Luckily we scored the only seats in the shop at the window which were very quiet and tucked in the corner facing the street. Thankful for the free WiFi as well!I didn't notice it at the time but it looks like there is outdoor seating available, too. They had a small seasonal drinks menu for the fall and I knew I had to try the Maple-ieve, which is literally fall in a cup. They also have a small selection of baked goods which pair nicely with coffee. When the weather warms up, I'll definitely be taking advantage of that outdoor seating next time I'm in town!

    This is one of those no frills coffee bars. A couple of tables, barely any standing room, meager food options, limited selection of drinks. The service is middling. The baristas are BUSY and focused on the task at hand with no conversation. Take order, make drink, get out. I didn't take stars away for that but it was a bit jarring. My matcha latte with oat milk was interesting. There is zero sweetness added to it. As somebody who prefers dessert coffees, it left me unsure how to feel about it. I liked it and it was well made. However, I miss the sugar rush and I needed it this morning as much as the caffeine jolt. It's located in a sketchy area that made me nervous. Homeless folks on the corner begging for money as you walked past. No stars deducted for that, obviously, just a word of caution if you visit. 4 stars because it's good for a no frills coffee shop. Oh and the vibe/decor is probably polarizing.

    Best cold brew in all of Chattanooga! The staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable about their coffee.

    One thing I always try to find when visiting a new place is find a great coffee shop, and with Mad Priest I have found that. Normally, my first order is a cappuccino but with this Tennessee heat I've been going with an iced latte. On a rainy and much cooler day I was able to order a cappuccino and it was quite good. They have their own roastery and use a house blend for their espresso. I also noticed they have a Slayer. I usually see a La Marzocco , so I was surprised to see a Slayer. The people that work there are amazing as well. My first few visits Mya was behind the bar and always nice and makes great drinks. The other two baristas were nice as well and the drinks were good. Mad Priest is located near the intersection of 20th and Broad. They have a private lot with a lot of available parking. There are also a few picnic-like tables on the side of the building for outdoor seating.

    Yummy ube drink.

    Small place but they have great drink options and helpful people working. Definitely recommend for others to check out.

    Iced latte

    Tasty lattes and a fun vibe. Space is too small to stay very long but I think they're moving soon so that may change.

    Found this little gem while on a road trip. The matcha latte was amazing! Love what they are doing here. This place is small but they have lots of parking which is a plus .

    Cold Brew

    Best cold brew!! I don't like hot coffee and it's hard to find a well blended cold brew that isn't sour or bitter. Didn't need cream or anything!

    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.

    Coffee was great. Service was terrific. Cool surrounding. Pirate theme. This place is awesome!!read more

    I go to coffee shops for tea so my reviews will always be about tea or a frozen drink. In this case…read morejust a chai tea with almond milk is my go to. It was good overall. Flavorful and tasty. This is a place that I would return to if in the area.

    Nice people and okay drinks with a cool drive-thru concept. The drinks aren't my favorite because…read morethey taste to me a bit more artificial than other brands. One of my main things beyond the taste is more health related. I need to stay away from dairy as much as possible and have run into some issues. To minimize my dairy intake, I ask for a dairy alternative like almond or oat milk (and no whipped cream). Most recently, I requested oat milk and they instead made my drink with whole milk...that didn't go well and I got really congested and started having issues with my nose and throat. Was wondering why that was happening and checked the label only to realize it read whole milk, not oat milk as requested. I couldn't even drink half of it. Might be good to add a verification screen like competitors so customers can know their order is entered as placed and help catch mishaps before they happen. I for sure will be checking my labels regardless to make sure this doesn't happen again. I, unfortunately, can't trust that communication issues will not happen again. Normally I'd not care and just drink it anyway but this type of thing closes me up and wastes both product and money. ***Double check your order and verify your labels before you drive off.*** (Why I changed to two stars: The mishap was one thing but, reaching out to them to speak to someone about what happened only to get a message service is disappointing. It is especially disappointing when no one returns your call after the audio message says that messages are checked "multiple times each day"...after several days, I received a less than professional text message with no introduction or identification from a number my phone could not ID)
