Cinnamon rolls, biscuits, scones, muffins and breads all come out of our own oven daily. Our biscuits were in USA Today and our cinnamon rolls were on Food Network's Cheap Eats. Both are made from scratch.

We started roasting in 2017, after six years of running our first shop. Try the Brazil South Minas, a cup for stoking the embers of last night's campfire, with candied almond and cocoa. Bags are sold at all our shops.

Cozy coffee shop meets bustling cafe

I went for a coffee date with my daughter and the vibes were really nice. Not only a good place to hang with friends, but seems like a good place to get some work done if you needed to. I got an Americano and the Caprese sandwich. The Americano was definitely in the top three I've ever had, and the sandwich was also really really good. For a sandwich and a drink I came out around 12 dollars, which in this day and age seems like a steal! I highly recommend stopping by if you are near.

Great experience at mean mug today! The staff was really friendly, the food and drinks were amazing, and the space was super cozy. We got the avocado toast with smoked salmon and a Morningstar sausage biscuit sandwich for food. Both were top notch. The London fog and matcha were also incredible. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a coffee shop around Chattanooga!

I love Mean Mug! It's my favorite coffee place in Chattanooga and they have the best cinnamon rolls that I've ever had (outside of my Mom's.) Their drinks are always good and their menu is really fresh and tasty. My favorite is the smoked salmon bagel. I tried their homemade yogurt and granola this morning and it was great too.

I was blown away by the breakfast we had here. The paleo breakfast was delicious. Really enjoyed the Dijon vinaigrette on the kale salad that came with the paleo breakfast. The breakfast everything bagel was everything. Service was good. Atmosphere is quiet. Plenty of people working solo, along with others meeting. Ample seating, although its pretty dark further back in the building. The horchata chai was not quite what I expected, decent. Will return and try a different drink to go with the…

Great vibe, with good food and coffee! I got the prosciutto biscuit sandwich with the pink latte. So filling and tasty. The sandwich had great flavor! The pink latte was good as well, with beet root, orange, ginger, honey, and coconut milk.
