    The bakery area
    Timothy S.

    So, continuing with my coffee shop tour, I opted to visit the southside location as opposed to the downtown, as I needed to be in that area. Shop is in an old building, love that kind of feel and the aroma from their bakery operation smacks you immediately upon opening the door. It was so hard to resist, but I was here for the coffee I reminded myself. Looks like a neighborhood fave, has a different feel from the shops in the adjacent Highland Park neighborhood. Staff seemed focused on getting their pastries together as opposed to engaging with the customers, other than the perfunctory "hello, be right with you" when I stepped up to the counter. I wish they had done a better job identifying their special seasonal brews, as I missed them completely. Good experience, not great, but I probably should give those pastries a try sometime. Sorry, no pic of my coffee, they served me in a to go cup. I hate that! When a guest is staying, encourage them to drink from one of those lovely mugs you have sitting on the espresso machine.

    Stopped in here on a recommendation from a friend for a caffeine boost, but was drawn in by the fun decor and great service. The café has a comfortable, eclectic energy that is very inviting. I tried a Vanilla Oat Latte and the Breakfast Quesadilla- both were delicious!! The menu of speciality pastries and drinks will definitely have me visiting again.

    1/2 Chai Slush 1/2 Cold Brew Slush

    LOVE. THIS. PLACE!!!!! First time trying this location & it does not disappoint. The barista, who was just a ray of sunshine, explained the menu and recommended the slushes. Immediately brought us samples - 1 chai slush and 1 cold brew. I'm not a big chai fan, but that chai slush was to dieeee for! It doesn't have enough caffeine so I said even though I loved it I was going to order the cold brew, but they recommended I do 1/2 & 1/2 - life changing. Lots of places to sit and hangout, didn't get a pastry this time but from past experiences I know they're delightful. Don't sleep on sleepyhead!!!

    Very cute cafe! Loved the decoration and overall vibe. Staff was very friendly and offered suggestions for my first time. The drinks were very refreshing and I loved the creativity with a lavender matcha lemonade. Perfect for a summer day

    strawberry donut

    coffee was good and i love the ambiance. it's my new favorite study spot in chatt! a lot of the food is gluten-free and the donut i tried was not very good. it was really dense and grainy and had an odd flavor. would still come back for drinks and to study though!

    Menu

    Very cute coffee shop. Not the same menu as the one downtown. Service was great. Got a non alcoholic Sweet and spicy margarita to go. Tasted great! Was kinda bummed they didn't have more options for N/A drinks. I also wish they stayed open later.

    Really nice staff! Ordered the CBD matcha and it was pretty good. The CBD oil at the end was not great so keep mixing as you drink.

    Ask the Community - Sleepyhead Coffee

    I'm about to leave Chattanooga and wanted to have a mocktail before I go, can I get one of the coffee mocktails in the morning or are they only available at certain times?

    Mocktails are available all day at our Main + Dodds location!

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.

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)

The vibe is relaxed and social, great patio energy, easy place to hang out with friends, and it feels lively without being overwhelming. The food was solid. Tasty, well prepared, good portions, but nothing that blew me away or felt dramatically different from other brunch spots I've tried. That said, the pricing felt fair. I had the breakfast sandwich and my wife had the Mexican Omelette. The Bloody Mary was actually really good, balanced and flavorful. I was a little surprised they didn't have any stuffed olives (my go-to garnish), and the server wasn't familiar with them, which caught me off guard. Not a big deal, just unexpected. The only real hiccup was at the end. Our ticket got mixed up and I tried having the server correct it. He said he would at the computer, he took our cards and I get a receipt where my card was charged on another ticket. So I ended up paying for someone else's food. It wasn't intentional and these things happen, but it was a frustrating way to wrap up the meal. Overall, I'd come back. Good atmosphere, fair prices, solid food. It's not a "must plan your whole weekend around it" spot for me, but it's a dependable option if you're in the area.
