Milk & Honey absolutely lived up to the hype. We went for breakfast, and despite the fact that they…read moredon't take reservations, we didn't have to wait at all which already felt like a small miracle. Our server Katie was fantastic. Since it was our first visit and everything on the menu spoke to us, she helped steer us in the right direction. I ended up ordering the pistachio croissant, and honestly... I'd go back for that alone. It was warm, huge by croissant standards, and absolutely heavenly. I even grabbed another one to take home because Future Me deserved a little happiness too. We also tried the raspberry lemon danish, which was a delicious combo, but the pistachio croissant stole the show without breaking a sweat. We started with the poutine, and while it wasn't the traditional version I've had before, it was incredible. Instead of cheese curds blocks, it came with pulled pork and melted cheese, and somehow it just worked. Comfort food with a little Southern flair. For breakfast, we had the ham and cheese omelet with breakfast potatoes. It was exactly what you want it to be--classic, satisfying, and impossible to regret if that's your usual order. I also tried the Liquid Gold juice. Their juice selection is impressive, but I may have accidentally found my forever order on the first try. It was so refreshing, with just a hint of ginger. For a hot drink, I highly recommend the London fog. I'm not usually a tea fan but if you don't want coffee, this is an excellent option. Before we left, we picked up some of their salted caramels to go, and they make the perfect little gift... assuming you have enough self-control not to eat them all in the car. The vibe here is upscale southern diner. One of the signs on the wall said, "All are welcome, but you need to act right," and honestly, that's the kind of life advice we could all use. I also really appreciated that parking was free. In Chattanooga these days it's hard finding a place where you don't have to scan a QR code, download an app, and pay to park just to eat. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Milk & Honey is absolutely worth a visit...and if you're debating the pistachio croissant, stop debating and just order it. Your only regret will be not getting a second one.

Milk & Honey was one of the most popular brunch spots we visited in Chattanooga, and after eating…read morethere, I understand why. Be prepared for a wait, especially during peak brunch hours. We spent some time outside before being seated, but the food and service made it worth it. I stayed in my carrier throughout the meal and was able to join my humans indoors. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and never made us feel out of place. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was lively, and the service was attentive even though the restaurant was busy. Now for the most important part of this review. While enjoying brunch, I witnessed something I never expected to see: a baby goat riding around the restaurant in a pet stroller. At that moment, I realized Chattanooga may be one of the most pet-friendly places I've ever visited. Between the great food, kind staff, and unforgettable people-watching opportunities, Milk & Honey ended up being one of our favorite brunch stops of the trip. Dogba's verdict: Excellent brunch, friendly service, comfortable carrier dining, and unexpected goat encounters. Five paws !

Luckily, downtown dough was there and ready to help with the sugaring. It's got a lovely seating area with a number of small couches one which to chillax! The offerings include cookie dough slices- including vegan options. Gluten is best and it's nice for our gluten intolerant friends. The offerings range from sugar cookie to basically a candy garbage can. The 4 we sampled were lovely! They also have caffeine options, pops, and a number of freeze dried candies - didn't know I loved freeze dried air heads until today! A solid spot, especially to get the kids something to keep them going !

Also, very expensive. 2 small pieces were 11 dollars. I would think just go buy a dozen cookies instead. Maybe they should also sell cookies??? Good idea, but with the super high price I doubt I'll be back

Vegan Treats Galore!!…read more I accidentally stumbled upon this little jewel and was thrilled to discover they have an entirely vegan menu with a great variety of options you don't usually see, like a pimento cheese sammy, chickpea salad sammy, and a whole display case packed with vegan pastries. Talk about a find! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and service was quick. I honestly couldn't recommend this place enough. Parking is paid during the day (which is a bit of a pain), but it's a cute spot and very vegan-friendly...well worth the visit!

I absolutely adored this place…read more Drinks - I had the chance to try two different drinks on this visit. The first was an iced matcha with a little added blackberry. It was really smooth and a very nice quality. The second drink was an iced latte from their specialty menu that had been renamed for a special event I was attending. I loved the flavor of the coffee, so much so that I grabbed some of their beans to take home as well. Merch - There was a great selection of merch from the company and local artisans as well. The stickers and mucus has some really cool designs. Staff - the baristas were some of the nicest people. Not only were they slinging drinks and working the event, but they were just amazingly personable and kind to all of our group. Location - most importantly though was the stunning location. The furniture, decor, vibe and even the commitment to theme through the bathrooms was everything. Even the confessionals booth was just perfect. Overall it is definitely a visit, and I will be back.

Service can take a minute (not forever or anything), so if you're hitting the drive-thru, plan to slow down and take it easy. Honestly, it's worth it because the people are genuinely personable, which feels refreshing in a coffee world dominated by corporate chains that are all about getting you in and out. Supporting lil places like this is how we help create more of what we want to see in the world.

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.

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.
