Sweet Heat Chicken and French Toast Bites
Sam S.

Cute little spot. Waitress was friendly. Drinks were strong. Food was pretty good. I had the chicken and french toast bites. Pretty delish, it has a good balance of sweat and heat. I also had the espresso martini. It definitely put some hair on my chest and my partner had the whipped pineapple mimosa. It sounds good but tasted different. Overall though, it's a place worth checking out.

Chicken St. Charles Benedict Eggs Cochon Benedict  Chicken st Charles Benny was an all timer. So good! I love that you can mix.
Hayley D.

Best breakfast I've had in a while! So many great options that are a little different than the average breakfast spots. The flavor in all the sauces was great!

Michel S.

Came here for breakfast during IronMan weekend. The staff were very accommodating, efficient and welcoming. I sat at the bar and in just 15 minutes the entire restaurant became packed. I had the breakfast tacos and they were very good and flavorful with a kick. The avocado was very small and I was hoping that it was a big bigger. It was a teaser. The OJ tasted freshly squeezed and the latte was made to order. Great place for breakfast!

Florentine Omelet - yummm goat cheese
Ali S.

Great spot! Got here early in the morning so not busy at all. Our waitress was so sweet and even reached out to a friend to help us with questions we had about a local distillery. This breakfast was my favorite from our entire trip. The goat cheese in the Florentine omelette was fantastic! And the homemade biscuit was muahhh! Food came out quickly and the cook (maybe also the owner or manager?) came out to check in on how he did with the food. Tons of seating, cute little details in the decor all around, even fun wallpaper in the bathroom. Fun spot, definitely stop in if you can.

Alexa P.

Our server was amazing, and the suggestions he gave were 10/10. The menu honestly had a ton of great options to choose from, the food was delicious. We will for sure be back to try out more menu items

Chicken St. Charles Benedict
Christine D.

Great option for breakfast in Chattanooga! The service was really great and fast. Lots of options for sitting at a booth table or even outdoors with umbrellas. They have a full mimosa menu and brunch options.

Welcome sign

Lovely kick-start to our return drive to Florida! Home style and so gratifying! Everything is fresh and tasty! Our group was satisfied!

ashley p.

Food was absolutely delicious! I love a place that served migas and they did not disappoint. The Benny was delicious too, as were the peach cobbler beignets (the actual best part of the meal!). We sat on the patio and it was absolutely lovely. Service was great too! The only downfall, and the reason for the 1 star deduction was the cocktails (well mocktails). They were highlighted on the menu and were both undrinkable. They tasted old, watered down, just absolutely terrible. And expensive! I highly suggest going for the food, but would skip the expensive specialty drinks.

Gluten free Tater Tots and gluten free Southern BLT
Lisa M.

Okay, this place surprised me! I went in with low expectations for a chain restaurant. There is an allergen menu (gluten friendly, vegetarian, keto, dairy). SO MANY options. I ordered the southern BLT gluten free on gluten free bread with a side of tater tots. It was excellent. GF bread was surprisingly a decent size! I would definitely return and highly recommend! Excellent food and customer service!

Biscuits and gravy with bacon and eggs

Very polite staff and fantastic food. The manager even made rounds and checked on everyone. Best breakfast food I have had in a while

Breakfast tacos with pork sausage YUM!

This place definitely deserves a return visit. The smells, the staff, the design, all of it! Food quick and fresh and absolutely DELICIOUS! If you're looking for a cool and trendy brunch spot, look no further!

Rue N.

Loved, loved, loved Ruby Sunshine so much! We were only in town for one night, and before we hit the road to drive back to Knoxville we decided to stop for breakfast at Ruby Sunshine. Talk about the highlight of our overnight stay! A truly wonderful meal. My friend and I started off with cocktails (I had the blood orange mimosa, and she had the amaretto iced coffee) that were excellent and really set the tone. Not a bad bite for me throughout the meal. We ordered the apple pie beignets to share, and I had the florentine omelet and my friend had the sweet heat chicken with grits and brussels. The side salad for my omelet was not dressed, but other than that no issue in my meal. I checked in with yelp and got a free starter, so we added the fried green tomatoes to our meal. Mixed review on that as my friend was not a fan, but I liked them a lot. Overall, this was a great place for a casual weekend brunch. If I find myself back in Chattanooga, I will be returning.

Amber P.

Great food, coffee, and service! Everything we ordered came out pretty quickly and was delicious. Can't go wrong.

Milk & Honey is known as the best of the best for brunch in Chattanooga, and after eating here I…read morestand 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!

My wife has a gluten and dairy allergy, and I've got a tree nut allergy, Alpha-Gal, plus a diabetes kicker. We're usually a solid test for any kitchen. Both visits, the staff passed. Knowledgeable, showed genuine concern, and were able to make accommodations without a lot of back-and-forth. Good selection on the menu meant we weren't working from a short list of options either. Food was good across both visits--consistent, which matters as much as a single great meal. My son particularly liked the Brunch Sausage Burger. Looked good, and seemed entirely appropriate after a late night. Large space, tables well spread out, and located not far from downtown. Easy place to settle in whether you're with a crowd or just the two of you. Good for: small kids, business meals, casual meals, groups Would come back. Already did once.

I have been to the Nashville Frothy Monkey years ago but I really enjoyed this one in Chattanooga. I had the maple chicken salad with a side of bacon and it was delicious. Chicken salad was not overpowering in mayonnaise. It was sweet and had enough flavor. I liked that they paired it with mutigrain bread and chips and salsa. I enjoyed my golden milk latte also. Our server was great and I forgot to ask her for her name. Definitely recommend this place.

I was the only customer when I walked in this morning, so I certainly got a lot of friendly attention. I opted to try their seasonal Apple Crumble Latte with a request to reduce the overall sweetness, it worked, there are some very distinctive flavor combinations here, and it was nice and hot. Mugs are not an option here, so I won't take off on that. This is a small store with very limited seating so I suspect this will impact the ability of TT to become the hangout that some of their competitors have, which I believe will also impact the customer type they will attract.

This place is right off the main roadway in downtown Chattanooga, making it super easy to stop in if you're exploring all the attractions around it. It is small with limited seating, which looked to be filled with regulars/climbers, so be ready to take the drink to go. My caramel latte was a bit in the pricier side, but it was amazing! The whole milk added a good richness to the drink, and you could tell it was a real caramel sauce they used, not some cheap syrup. On top of all that, the flavors were still balanced enough that you could taste the espresso. I cannot vouch for the food here, but if I came back to visit this town, this coffee shop would be one of my first stops.

I absolutely loved the décor. The menu is extensive, and it was hard to choose just one thing, so my friend and I ordered two juices (Dope Beets & Let's Kick It Out) and two plates (the Grilled Pimento Panini and the Buddha Bowl) to share. The juices were phenomenal. Honestly, I would go back just for those. I really wanted to love the food, but unfortunately, it lacked flavor. I even ordered a cookie to try to redeem the meal, but that missed the mark as well. I felt especially bad because I brought a non-vegan friend and didn't want their first impression of vegan food to be a disappointing one, but sadly, that's how it turned out. That said, I'd be willing to return and try something different. Maybe it was just an off day, or perhaps the dishes we chose just weren't the best representation of the menu. I'd definitely come back for the juices, and I'm curious to try the smoothies too. Those might be a winner. I really want this place to thrive and wish them all the best! I really love their concept and support their mission 100%.
