"Stopped in for an afternoon coffee while visiting. The charm of the building definitely drew us in, but the experience was just okay. The coffee was mild and not particularly memorable, I could hardly taste the flavor in my latte. The furniture inside was uncomfortable and extremely worn. The interior could use a lot of help and cleaning. The vegan blueberry muffin was pretty good but served ice cold."

"Coffee is usually fine. Food is not great. Just got a breakfast plate and the scrambled eggs were literally cold - colder than room temperature. Seems like they cook a big batch of scrambled eggs once a day and warm them up when people order eggs (unless they forget to)"

"Stopped by here before getting my son’s haircut next door. Very cozy little coffee shop. Everyone was nice and worked quickly. My son was a big fan of the MASSIVE cookie and I got a chia latte which was also good."

"This place was recommended to us so we headed in while visiting family in Chattanooga. We had a sausage egg and cheese croissant and a bacon egg and cheese croissant. They were decently good, not outstanding. We were told to have some pastries, but weren’t feeling like a sugary breakfast. They did look delicious! Next time we are in town, we will for sure head in to get a sampling of their sweet offerings. Hip and cool vibe in the coffee shop. Parking on the street."

"Mean Mug was the first coffee shop I ever visited in Chattanooga, long before I lived here. Now it’s where I send people too. The staff is unwaveringly kind and personable—like every single one of them. The genuine, friendly interactions with the staff are refreshing. Both the product and the people leave me smiling. Mean Mug’s coffee is delicious and the food is far above most coffee shops."
