Milk & Honey is known as the best of the best for brunch in Chattanooga, and after eating here I stand by that statement. I remember back in the day when Milk & Honey had late hours. One time my parents and I came here after dinner for their gelato, and it was so delicious. We were all very impressed with the consistency and how smooth it was. So I've only had their gelato after all these years. This time I came for brunch with a friend on Sunday morning. It was packed and we got on the waiting list for a table. Wait time wasn't too bad actually. My friend and I both ordered the Hodgepodge Hash and I subbed the sausage for chicken sausage. Everything was absolutely amazing. I wish I had come here sooner. I loved everything about my meal. It was flavorful, dynamic, full of texture. It had that spice from the serrano peppers, crispy and flavorful potatoes, and the sauce tied it all together. I love savory breakfast, and that was it. Now I'm hungry and missing my previous meal just writing about it haha. Afterwards, we got gelato! I was pleasantly surprised that the gelato came with two scoops because I originally just wanted the coffee flavored one. So I had a scoop of Coffee + Cream and Pistachio. Our gelato was so tasty. I love anything coffee so this one was good, and the Pistachio one was nice and light. It had a subtle Pistachio creamy taste. Just as before, the gelato was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. Service was great, our waiter was very friendly and super helpful with our food preferences. I have no complaints at all about our experience, and I love every single thing we ordered. I can't imagine a better place to spend Sunday brunch. I look forward to the next time I'm back, thank you! read more

Please take this review with a grain of salt. Today was probably not an exemplary day for Milk & Honey. Mother's Days are challenging, but I think where they hurt themselves the most is that they do not have a method to take reservations or even call ahead seating. Wait times were often in excess of an hour listening to other people waiting to be seated. That's a horrible experience on its face, and the management of this restaurant needs to do much much better or just close on Mother's Day. Next, we'll get to the food. I doubt it was a shining example of what they are capable of. I got the Shakshuka and it was mediocre. I'm not expecting it to be as good as what I would get in Tel Aviv, and I've had the real thing in Tel Aviv. But to be honest, the eggs came out nearly hard-boiled not poached. And the eggs are one of the stars of the show for this dish. If you don't get them right, the entire dish fails. Next will touch on the chicken and waffles. The observation from my tablemate was that it was dry and he didn't even eat it all. The same thing can be said for my other tablemate who had the chicken biscuit. The biscuit was exemplary, but the chicken was dry and actually overcooked. Then there were the omelettes, I don't believe they were impressive in any way and the people that ordered them agree. For those of us at the table that ordered coffee, it was rather strong. I normally like strong coffee, but this was borderline Turkish coffee, and there wasn't enough cream available to mask the potency. The service was also stretched thin. Our server, Destiny, did her best, but she was waiting too many tables. Having once been a waitermyself I have a special affinity for Service staff who are asked to do too much. We left her a good tip, but I'm sure she is capable of much better service than what she was allowed to deliver. Finally, the overwhelming crowd made the restaurant feel claustrophobic. The noise level was far too high, and we could barely hear one another at our table and we were sitting very close to one another. I don't place the blame on the kitchen, staff, or the wait staff, or even the greeters. This was a fail of management, plain and simple. They made no contingency plans for that many people and should have anticipated a larger crowd on Mother's Day. Management -I challenge you to do better!!! We will come back during a normal Service day to see if you can perform better, but I encourage you, as owners and managers, to stop setting your staff up for failure, which is what you did! read more

Milk and Honey, we enjoyed yall! A convenient location to walk from hotels downtown, just across the bridge. We were seated promptly and had our drink orders taken. We got two juices the liquid gold and another I have forgotten. To eat i had the spicy chicken and waffles (5/5, dense waffles so you will be full!) I also tried the croissant that was delicious as well and served warm (5/5). My date got the big kid breakfast, on brand lol. She was satisfied as well. Appreciate the experience Milk and Honey, ill be back and i expect almond croissants! read more

Milk & Honey is one of my most favorite places to come when i visit Chattanooga. The vanilla bean latte is my favorite, the pastries are delicious and everyone is very sweet. I remember the first time my best friend brought me here and they had the Milk & Honey press on tattoos. I can't wait to come back and try more deliciousness. read more

My teenage daughter and I have been several times. She always gets the chicken and waffles. The fried chicken on the waffle is absolutely delicious! Next time I'm definitely getting a fried chicken biscuit. Last time we went, I got the prosciutto and cheese roll from the bakery and it was very, very good. This is probably gonna be our go to for breakfast/brunch. read more

Service was great and the food was delicious! I got the iced salted caramel latte with an egg, sausage, and cheese biscuit. I subbed the biscuit for a croissant. It's not listed as an option on the menu, but I highly recommend it! The croissant is soft, buttery, and flaky...literally all you could ask for in a croissant! The fruit was also fresh and my latte was tasty, too. I will definitely be back! read more

Milk & Honey absolutely delivered on breakfast. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and the kind of meal that makes you slow down and actually enjoy your morning instead of just inhaling coffee and running out the door. They had unfortunately sold out of the cinnamon rolls (clearly I wasn't the only one with good taste), but the manager, Caroline, stepped in and took care of me with a thoughtful substitute without hesitation. That's the kind of service you remember -- not just fixing a problem, but making you feel genuinely taken care of. Great food, even better hospitality. Chattanooga brunch plans = handled. I'll definitely be back... earlier next time for those cinnamon rolls. read more

Yelped this place and chose it because of reviews, which were SPOT on 5 Star plus. Great flavor, great atmosphere. And a great price. Our service was ok, waitress was a little ditsy with an annoying voice, but didnt hold it against her , at least she is gainfully employed! read more

I love this place so much and come to it every time I go to Chattanooga! Everything I've had off the menus has been great! 45 min wait but well worth it on a Saturday for brunch. Staff is great and it's so cute! read more

Tanka Jahari here Pt.2, on a very serious note, shout out to our server Tanner. He was on that grind, and it was pretty busy. The last time we came in, we felt like our last server didn't check on us enough, and I really wanted syrup. Regardless of that, she was very sweet. (Again, I didn't ask, but by the time I could, I was about done with my food.) Tanner came and checked on us a lot, and I got my syrup this time (I asked this time lolll). But thank you, Tanner, for making our experience smooth even how busy it was read more

You have to come here. I am new to the area and was itching for a good brunch after a busy morning. I was informed there was a wait, (It was a Saturday so I assumed this would be the case), but they sat me very quickly before the estimated wait time. I requested and iced London fog tea with my meal, but with a flavor addition they had not heard of before. The server asked questions to ensure they got the drink right which they did. The food was also amazing and I find myself wanting to go back every weekend. Great menu, great service, and amazing food. read more

This was a great lunch spot with an attached coffee and gelato spot. We came on a busy saturday, so there was a bit of a wait but it was not bad at all. There was indoor and outdoor seating, the indoor seating was a little cramped though. I had the fried chicken sandwich with the kale salad on the side. I loved the salad and I just wish there were less raisins, but overall it was excellent. The sandwich itself was definitely a little dry, but i fixed it up with some ranch on the side. Overall I would return here! Lots of great options. read more

My husband and I enjoyed the Nashville location during a trip there a few years ago, so when we saw this location opened we decided to visit during our trip to Chattanooga. The parking lot is shared with a few other shops in the plaza, but we found a spot right up front as someone was leaving. When we stepped inside, the restaurant was very full and lively. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. Our waiter arrived a couple of moments later for our drink orders and asked if we'd been there before. We'd already viewed the menu online, so we were ready to place orders for our meals as well. My husband ordered the Rise & Shine juice, which is carrot, apple, ginger, and orange. He also ordered the chicken and waffles with berries on the side. I ordered a salted caramel latte and the sausage and peppers omelette with berries on the side. My husband's juice arrived quickly, and we waited only a few more minutes before our food was already being served. Not long after that, my latte arrived. All in all, the food was good. We didn't feel it was anything to rave about, but we were satisfied. I really wanted an omelette, which is why I made the selection I did. But the only thing I didn't love was that the sausage and peppers are mixed with red onion before being added to the omelette, and I'm just not a fan of the pungent flavor of red onion. It's just a personal preference. Thankfully, they were thinly sliced so it wasn't so off putting and I was able to enjoy my food. The latte was a little sweeter than you'd find at most coffee shops that I prefer, so I couldn't finish it but it was enjoyable. Definitely get the salted flavor but not in an overpowering way, which was nice. The two-person tables are pretty close together, so we could hear every word from the people next to us and their convo was a little interesting, so we didn't love that either... They also have a cute to-go area where the coffees are made and you can take a look at their pastries. We didn't get any, but they were cute. I got another Milk & Honey mug (after someone broke the previous one I had), and the ladies there were so sweet and gift wrapped it so nicely. Definitely a decent breakfast place to enjoy time alone or with loved ones. read more

I was in town for a wedding and the name and the size of the crowd waiting for a table caught my attention. Super cute decor and cool gift shop, but it was the food that stole the show. I was so blown away with how good the food was here, I ate here twice in one day. I also bought several baked goods for the road paired with a delicious lavender latte. read more

Delicious breakfast spot! Bagels are made fresh daily and were amazing. The coffee and chicken and waffles were also winners!

The food was amazing, the service was stellar as they helped me with my kids and played with them while we are there. The restaurant was beautiful and a lovely experience. Can't wait to go back! Hash was the best dish. read more

First time trying brunch at milk & honey: I was a little underwhelmed. My friend and I loved the mimosa flight!! The liquid Gold juice is delicious. I ordered the ricotta and honey and it was SOOO GOOD! As for my main entree, I was not impressed. The hot chicken was extremely hot which I was okay with initially but the gravy that comes with it was disgusting. Very watery with 0 flavor. I asked the server to just take it back. I requested just a side of scrambled eggs. He initially verbalized understanding but then later came to my table & said they comped the hot chicken and were going to replace it with just the regular chicken biscuit. He brought the new entree out which I still didn't enjoy. Bread was too hard and chicken was extremely dry. I did like the potatoes that came as the side with it. I really just wanted the scrambled eggs but at that point we needed to leave so I didn't see a need to make a big stink about it. Overall, I was not impressed with my meal but I will definitely try to give them another chance next time I visit Chattanooga read more

Hands down - one of our favorite spots in Chattanooga! The staff here is top notch - starting at the door with welcoming hosts - all the way up to the managers who have their eye on the entire place. When we sat down there was some miscommunication about which server was assigned our table. Without missing a bit - the manager came over and apologized and offered us a complimentary appetizer which was very kind. We didn't want a big meal so he got us some coffees instead - which were delightful. The food was delicious and the server - once she knew she was our server lol - was incredible! She chatted with us about our visit - checked on us once our food came and even hand wrote a list of local places to try after we asked her for some recommendations. 10/10 would absolutely recommend this place and will be returning on our next trip! Thanks for a great experience Milk. & Honey! read more

If you come here, you definitely need to try out their tomato, hot pepper, and garlic jams! The dishes that we ordered didn't come with the jams so we asked for them on the side for an additional $2. My friend and I felt like the jams were the highlight of our meal. The tomato jam tasted of autumn flavors such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The hot pepper was a mild to moderate spice level. I ordered hot chicken and waffles as my entree, with home fries as a side. The hot chicken was good, crispy on the outside, and moist. Spice level was moderate. The waffles were kind of bland and not special, but they were fine with the syrup. This was the second time I tried shakshuka. I thought this version was much better than the first one I had tried at another American brunch place. This one had three eggs. The tomato sauce was more flavorful in terms of herbs and seasoning. I also ordered an iced burnt sugar latte to-go. The coffee was good and I enjoyed it, although I will say that the burnt sugar flavor was very very subtle if not nonexistent. Service was great! Our waitress was very warm and checked in with us frequently. The restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating and was pretty spacious. read more

We got there on a Saturday morning a little after 8AM just before morning rush hour started. It was a brisk 15 minute morning walk from our hotel crossing the Walnut Street Bridge. Our waiter recommended Shakshouka for appetizer and it was delicious Overall we enjoyed our meals. The highlight was my son's Hot Chicken Biscuit. We never had Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich before, so we are pleasantly surprised with the proper heat/spiciness delivered by the meal. read more

This place is quite popular for brunch. Be prepared to possibly endure a pretty chaotic dining experience. We stopped in on two different occasions: one to enjoy their craft coffee and cafe drinks, the next was for a scoop of their gelato. Both visits there was no greeting or "cheerfulness" from the attendants behind the ordering counter. They stood there, looking at us, as if they'd rather they not be there. Perhaps it was an off day for them each time. Nonetheless, for our first visit, we ordered a London Fog and a Milk and Honey Latte. Both were quite good, and the latte was very strong with espresso flavor. On the second visit, I ordered a scoop of their "Milk and Honey" gelato ($4.37). It was very good! Creamy, smooth, and flavorful with honey and cream. In all, decent visits with some room for growth regarding their take-out counter staff. The cafe drinks and gelato I'd recommend and would come back for. read more

Super cute mid-century modern spot. The coffee here is amazing--definitely a highlight. Our server, Emily, was fantastic--attentive and accommodating, especially with my dietary needs. You can tell most of the ingredients are really fresh, which is always appreciated. That said, to me the food itself was pretty bland but I do prefer a lot of seasoning. I had to use my own hot sauce because theirs didn't add much flavor, it was more sweet than spicy, but once seasoned, my meal was good. My boyfriend felt the same--his food needed more flavor. If you're someone who prefers milder flavors or likes to season to taste, this would be a perfect fit for you. 100% coming back for more coffee! read more

My husband and I went to Milk and Honey just before leaving the area on a roadtrip and we were so happy we did. I had the Honey Lavender Latte and he had the Burnt Sugar Latte. OMG! We had struggled with finding good coffee on this roadtrip. Being from the west coast we are spoiled and we're so excited to finally have some tasty coffee. And the goodness didn't end there. He had the Burrata & Fig appetizer which he felt was the best Burrata dish he's ever had. And this is a man who's had Burrata from coast to coast (we live in DC now). He had the Hot Mess entre and I had the Roasted Mushroom Omelette. We both loved our dishes. The service was fantastic, fast and on top of everything. The ambiance is modern and comfortable. We really enjoyed our visit to Milk and Honey! read more

Great coffee and great pastries! We tried the milk and honey latte, the burn sugar latter, a milk and honey scone, and one of the pop tarts. My personal favorites were the burnt sugar latte and scone. The main restaurant side was quite busy but we just did the grand and go and it was really quick. They have a bit of seating sinuses but a lot of options outside. Would absolutely recommend a visit! read more

This is a cute breakfast spot - we luckily arrive on a Saturday morning right when they opened up because we were competitors with the NPC show and had a busy schedule to keep. They were welcoming and patient to walk us through the menu and explain how fresh the ingredients are and some of their favorite menu items. I had opted for a simpler breakfast with bacon, eggs, and some waffles even though everything on the menu looked like it would be delicious. Everything came out quickly and (of course) fresh. Chai latte & the Cold Brew were good. Matcha Latte, not so much... either they don't use a good grade or the barista needs some more practice. We actually tried to go back in the afternoon but just missed them so we opted for gelato - super nice to have on a warmer afternoon. We actually tried to go back Sunday morning to enjoy some other menu items but they were just so busy with customers waiting for a table in every crevice that we decided not to wait but if we ever find ourselves back to Chatts, we'll be back. read more

I am a Biscuit HEAD; I really got into the texture! Sure the food was great, but the yummy texture of the Biscuits where wonderful!

Started off my brunch with a milk & honey latte, which I give a 6.5/10. Got the Shakshuka based on raving reviews, though I wasn't that impressed. I feel it could use more flavor, maybe more cheese? BUT, what gives Milk & Honey 5 stars is: Our above and beyond awesome server Madison C. (great vibes, friendly, and super helpful) & The fact that several items on the menu are house made, like the biscuit (which was very good), the raspberry jam, and some of the coffee syrups. I appreciate when businesses have homemade items! Another note is that we were sat right by the door which made it chilly. Even with a few underwhelming pieces of this meal, it was overall a positive experience and I would come back to try more menu items! read more
