Vegan Treats Galore!! 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! read more

Do it! Just go! This was my second attempt going to this coffee shop, the first attempt like a dingdong I went on a Sunday without even checking the hours and they're closed on Sunday. But that failed was not stopping me. I made a second and I was not disappointed coffee is amazing and then they have a great location next-door, a seating area, great place to take aesthetic pictures with your coffee. read more

Sleepyhead Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I decided I wanted to spend a little extra time in Chattanooga before I headed home after a continuing ed opportunity. I wanted a coffee and a treat to take on a walk by the river. After a little googling, I settled on Sleepyhead. It was a good choice! This little coffeeshop is inside the James Building. Truth be told, idk what else goes on inside the James Building, but the shop itself is on the left as you enter the front entrance. It's very small and there's only a couple of stools to sit on so it's mostly a grab and go operation, but wow is it adorable inside! I loved the welcoming, dreamy, upbeat vibes, as well as all the plants and the soft neon. One interesting thing on the menu is a couple CBD-infused drinks. Talk about sleepyhead! ;) I'd not seen that before but the concept is intriguing! Employees were super friendly and guided me in the direction of their sweeter current speciality lattes. They said one of the fruitier ones (raspberry? Strawberry? Can't remember) was the sweetest, but I don't like fruity coffee so I chose the pistachio latte instead. They made it for me quickly. I couldn't help but grab a donut and a sticker to commemorate my visit. All their food is vegan here and some of it is gluten free. I can't remember if my donut was GF or not, but I DO remember it being delicious. The icing on top wasn't gritty at all nor was it over sweet. The cake itself was a little bit dense but it kind of worked? I much prefer a cakey donut to an airy one so this was a winner for me! I can't remember if it was chai, Apple cider, or both, but it was definitely a spice cake and super yummy with my coffee. The coffee was tasty and VERY strongly pistachio, which I for one was all about! I love the nutty, slightly sweet, vanilla-y flavor. In a perfect world I like my drinks a little sweeter, but as I said, it's partly on me because the employees did tell me. Still, I enjoyed it very thoroughly and would definitely return. I'll enjoy my sweet sleepyhead cat sticker and think back on this visit fondly! read more

In a super cute building. Very nice and relaxing sitting areas. Super yummy drinks. Coffees, teas, non-coffe drinks, Kombuchas, etc. Had a CBD peppermint latte, good for the soul, mind, and body. Beet root powder, ginger, and milk very very delicious. The service was friendly and informative about the drinks and products. read more

Great coffee spot in Chattanooga with a very cute seating area! They make their syrups in house and the coffee is very smooth and well balanced. I got a cereal milk latte, half sweet and my friend got a raspberry mocha, half sweet. The raspberry mocha was a little bit on the sweeter side, even with getting it less sweet, so keep that in mind. The cereal milk syrup was quite pleasant! If I'm in Chattanooga again, I will definitely be back to try more flavors. The staff was also very nice and helpful. read more

I've been wanting to come here for YEARS, but the timing never panned out. However my friend and I finally got the chance to swing by. I ordered the Iced Lavender Latte with oat milk and my friend got the Iced Peppermint Mocha. I've heard great things about this place, and once I had my first sip of my drink I knew why. My latte was just outstanding. My drink was flowery, it had the perfect amount of lavender syrup. The espresso and oat milk blended together so smoothly, and the sweetness level was exactly how I like my drinks to be. I have no complaints about this drink, it's my standard latte reference now. My only complaint is that I finished this drink too quickly because it was that good. This place is very cute. The coffee shop is in a small space inside, and there's another space across with more seating. Service was great, they were very friendly. I loved the greenery all around the space and decor. It had such a cool vibe. I love how they redid the space in a historic building. The soft pink theme and lush green plants make a cute combination and overall theme. I look forward to coming back here again and I'll recommend this place to anyone. read more

We got to this spot every time we are in Chattanooga. It is apart of a historical building and has a cool spot to order, and a separate space to enjoy your drink and treat. The space is filled with beautiful plants, and different options to sit (comfy chairs, tables, and bar in front of the window). This place has a wonderful chai latte (hot or cold) and other great coffee options. Service is always an easy and friendly experience. read more

Quick coffee stop before we started our adventure towards the mountain. Chai was okay, and my mom liked her hot coffee. Not a huge selection, but perfect to cover the bases. I would like to try a different place next time I want coffee. Service was quick, it's just a small place inside but there was seating in the next space over across the hall. read more

This coffee shop was definitely picture-perfect. They have two sides--one where you order and one where you sit. The staff was okay--not exactly friendly, but not rude either. The whole place is done in pastels with cute bakery items on display. An instagrammable spot! We got two coffees: a cold brew and a hot latte. The flavor was unique, and the coffee was mild--not super strong. I got a strawberry doughnut (they didn't put much care into packing it - see picture), and after one bite, I immediately felt like they needed to rename it-- it was super dense and crumbly, more like cake than a light, airy donut. Still really delicious. They should just call it a "cake hole." It was worth checking out and overall not a bad experience, but probably not a place I'd go back to. read more

To be fair, I wasn't a huge fan of their coconut milk here. I believe my mocha would've been a 4/5 if I had gotten a different milk. Pastry options include baked gluten free and vegan donuts. Cute little shop with a separate eating area. Excellent customer service. read more

Tried this restaurant while in Chattanooga for the weekend. Saw they had vegan food for breakfast and gave it a try via Uber eats. The breakfast sandwich on the everything bagel was very good. The only critique I have is that the bagel could've been a bit softer as it was extremely crispy (over toasted). The strawberry donut was amazing as a whole. The strawberry icing really made a huge difference! Without the icing, the donut alone had a bitter aftertaste which might be due to too much baking soda, not sure. The cold brew coffee w/ soy milk was decent and kept me alert for the day so no complaints. Overall, glad I found a spot with vegan food and for the breakfast sandwich alone, I'd visit again. read more

Love this spot for coffee on the go! Not much seating, so don't expect to linger too long, but don't skip grabbing some caffeine here. Came here for an afternoon pick-me-up before heading back to Nashville and I'm so glad I did. The people were super rad and the cold brew was some of my favorite I've had in a while. I'll see ya next time I'm in Chattanooga Sleepyhead crew! Insider tip: If you're driving too quickly, you may miss the sign outside, but it's inside a building near the local artists gallery. read more

I stumbled across this location years ago but it was closed. Happy that I was able to return and try it out. I came during Sleepy Head's 5th Birthday so they had tons of local vendors inside the building. From plants, vintage wear, dishes, jewelry, and permanent tattoos! The service was great they had a lot of people come through so I bet they were ready. I came 2 hours before they closed and they still were slinging coffee. I got a Matcha Latte and a iced vanilla latte, both delicious. I will be back to try their vegan pastries! Heard so many good things about it. read more

Limited Menu so disappointed they were out of a few things like maple syrup since it's in several drinks. Everything we ordered was good! Staff was nice but didn't add anything extra. We sat at the counter in the busy tiny space and then when we left realized they had a whole other nice area with way more space and seating. Not that hard to say "Hey there's more seating across the hall if you'd like?" It's the little things that make someone come back! read more

I'm looking forward to returning to Sleepyhead on a regular basis. You know, they say first impressions are everything. Christian and Brandon not only gave me the warmest welcome, they gave me great advice and tips about the city. Christian was kind enough to carry my cappuccino into their sitting area. My first visit I ordered the cappuccino and purchased the travel cup. They have a beautiful seating area for those who want to stay and enjoy their drinks. My second and third visit were the same day. I came in earlier in the day for a superfood latte. I thoroughly enjoyed the tumeric/cinnamon latte iced. Shortly before the shop closed I came back for the hello matcha iced minus cbd along with a blueberry lavender pop tart. The pop tart was delicious and I can't wait to enjoy another one. read more

I saw Sleepyhead on a friend's Instagram story and knew I had to check them out when I was in town. We couldn't find the cute Sleepyhead signage/decor that ended up being across the hall from the tiny coffee bar (we realized after taking all our coffee photos) but will have to return next time for more. Parking is a little annoying - paid street parking only, from what I could see. So if you are stingy, definitely try to park further out and venture toward the Sleepyhead area. I ordered a seasonal latte - the cookie butter latte, which I asked for to be a little less sweet. It was pretty perfect, and the latte art was on point. I was grateful they didn't immediately slam a coffee lid on top to ruin their works of art. I'll be back in Chattanooga in the next few months so I'll probably stop in again then :) read more

The decor and the vibe is pretty solid! Super cute place I had been excited about going to for a while! They have such cute merch too! We got cappuccinos and while they were pretty good, the espresso tastes a bit burnt (kind of like how starbucks coffee does). The guy working was pretty cool though! We got a vanilla donut as well, and it was decent, but in hindsight we probably should've gotten a flavor of some sort (it tasted VERY gluten free-- which isn't always bad but it was very prominent). Texture was flawless though! read more

As for the drinks? I ordered a matcha, which comes with maple syrup as sweetener, a refreshing spin as I usually go for a pump of vanilla. As for the pastries? The "Pumpkin Spiced Donut" was EVERYTHING. Especially the coconut icing - made me want to eat 4 more without taking a breath. As for the seating? Seemed well arranged for a work environment, but felt a little weird carrying a conversation in the separate room as everyone was busy working away on their laptops. They did have optional seating outside which we opted for & did not mind. I think that the green table actually produced some serotonin for me, lol. Location? Not too difficult to find, same for parking, we just found something down the street up the road! Decoration? I'm a big plant fan so I was impressed to see their collection. The colors coordinated well with one another & made the place carry out a chill, natural, calm vibe, with some cool art. Customer Service? Pretty good, the first employee was super kind & didn't seem to mind answering the questions I had. Later on, the second employee seemed to be in a bit of a daze but, understandable, happens to the best of us. If I was traveling through for work, or if I lived here, I would definitely frequent sleepyhead. (Not to mention they have the cutest stickers.) read more

Super cute and different. When you walk into the building you order on the left. Then you head over across the hall to your right and grab a seat. I absolutely love sipping a good cup of coffee while watching the rain and reading. I got the trifecta today when I walked into sleepyhead. I had an Americano and it was pretty good. It was strong which I love, but had a little bit of a bite to the bitterness. I look forward to going back and getting a flavored drink. I absolutely love this area of Chatt! read more

My husband and I were looking for a place to get coffee while in Chattanooga. We love coffee shops and this place was very cute! There is a separate room to work in/drink your coffee and they had the place decorated very nicely! I love all the plants as well. Customer service was great. As far as the iced mocha I got, it was not my favorite...too sweet for my liking. My husband got a cold brew...he liked it, described it as "very smooth"...it wouldn't be his go-to spot for cold brew but said he would have it again! read more

I came here twice in one weekend, which I NEVER do. I was in Chattanooga for a music festival and when I travel, I love trying new coffee shops. I usually go to 1-2 per day and usually try a new shop each day. I came here on my first morning and got a hot dirty pumpkin chai latte with oat milk to drink and a pumpkin spice donut. Both items were amazing. The donut was the perfect amount of pumpkin and the icing on top was so good. The donut itself was pretty dense, but very good. The drink was incredible. On the second morning, I tried looking up other places in town and nothing online stood out enough to make me go somewhere else. On the second morning, I got an iced pumpkin spice latte with oat milk. It was good but definitely not the best PSL I've ever had. I'm still giving this place 5 stars though because the shop was super cute, the staff were friendly, and the donut and pumpkin chai were impeccable. Went twice in one weekend and would tell any person I know going to Chattanooga to go here. Will also go back next time I'm in town. read more
