Mean Mug Coffeehouse Southside

Good Nitro brew; not great like some places, but it’s strong in caffeine. And they have FOOD it’s decent. I do like this location for some purposes I deal with. It’s out of the way of other shops; but I like that because it’s less crowded and bigger store.

This is a super cute coffee shop! I loved the modern urban decor and my sausage, egg and cheese + bacon biscuit was delicious! The cheesy grits were also super good! Very well seasoned and extra creamy. Definitely get the strawberry jam! It tastes so fresh, like they make it in house!

Cute shop serving coffee and pastries. It's a long, narrow brick building with tons of seating, in and outside, with friendly baristas serving interesting coffee drinks. It was comfy sitting there, sun streaming in and just relaxing. Here's the Breakdown: Good Coffee, Coffee Good +5 stars I would go back if in town again

Excellent coffee and a surprisingly wide variety of breakfast items. Atmosphere and service were both enjoyable. Definitely add this one to your list when in Chattanooga.

Update 5/2025: Solid breakfast and coffee. Nice casual vibes. Update: 5/2024: Still a great place to grab a coffee. I got a cinnamon roll too, this time and it was really good. Quite large too! Friendly staff. Good coffee. Great latte!

Couldn’t be a better coffee shop. I’m watching my caffeine, I know maybe a coffee shop isn’t the best bet for that, so I asked if they could make me an hibiscus tea latte. They said their hibiscus tea came pre-prepared and was for iced drinks. I gave them a tea bag I brought with me and they said no problem. I didn’t invent the hibiscus tea latte, but I think it was a first for them. Excellent cup of hibiscus latte and you couldn’t ask for more accommodating service. Who goes to a coffee shop with their own tea bag? 100% will always recommend the Mean Mug. No place better…

Went there for the first time the other day and had a great experience. Their staff are very friendly and helpful. Their coffee was fresh and had great ingredients in it. They also have a small bakery section that was nice as well.

We are in from out of town and we’re lucky to find this place. Some of the friendliest staff I’ve encountered anywhere in a year. Prompt service and fresh food. I wish I had a place like this back home.
