I decided to drop by and grab a coffee when googling coffee shops in Chattanooga. I wasnt sure based on the pictures of they had food or not and decided to see for myself.The short is they dont really offer much from the food department, but they have great pastries and a symbiotic relationship with the donut shop next door.I decided to have my coffee on site and I will note this is more of a takeaway, as its very small. The coffee is fantastic and the lovely sourced pastries are also on point, but if youre looking to sit down and enjoy a coffee and snack there are only two seats to choose from. If youre lucky like me you will be able to do so, but otherwise youll have to grab and go.I got the brown sugar latte as they made their brown sugar syrup in house. It was delicious, on the sweeter side which was expected and appreciated.Both the baristas were wonderful and polite. They made me feel welcome and happy that I happened to crawl on through.

Pumpkin Spice Made Better! If youre looking for something different, try their All Hallows Eve latte. Its a unique twist on pumpkin spice by adding butter pecan. I like my latte iced and this is great!

I love small locally owned coffee shops and this is one of the best ones Ive been too. It smells amazing in there (like good coffee). Delicious cappuccino. Definitely going to stop by here again the next time Im in town.

I am regular at Mad Priest Coffee, specifically the Broad St location, and I find it difficult to think of anything bad to say about it. They possess a certain level of “pasaz” that many small coffee shops fail to accomplish. The ambiance is on point, their merch is incredible, their little pastries are flavorful, and the coffee is stupendous. Additionally, I’ve grown to really enjoy speaking with the staff. They provide such warm welcomes when entering the building and never hesitate to educate you on the variety of beans they carry and the process of making your drink. In fact, just the other day, a middle aged couple came in and asked to see how they make a cappuccino due to recently purchasing their own machine. The staff member said “no problem,” and went about explaining the step by step process. This a great stop to hit while traveling through the area and I strongly advise that you do so!

Excellent vibe and ambience in this small little shop. Branding is excellent and has a unique story. Cappucino was excellent! On Mondays, the attached bakery isnt open, but when it is I can tell it adds another level to this experience.

Only three people allowed on the coffee side due to covid-19, but it is worth the wait! If you are visiting in town, plan for coffee and breakfast treats! This place has a good selection of donuts and other goodies to compliment your coffee or those who dont drink coffee alike. Enjoy!

Very cool vibe and friendy staff. also excellent coffee and stickers

Coffee sadly did not taste good and I love coffee.

Great place for a quick cup of good coffee. Their staff is extremely welcoming. It was hot outside when I paid a visit, and barista invited me to bring my dog in to cool down (I hope that you guys wont get in trouble because of this review).Coffee and biscotti were tasty, and we still enjoy bean coffee that we bought there. Highly recommended!

Great experience today. Visited the abroad street location for the first time and, even though it’s a small shop, I loved the details in decor and the atmosphere. I tried the “brown sugar babe” fall specialty drink and it was top notch. The unique ice cubes are one of the best features in all the iced selections. They were super busy today as one of the only places open on Labor Day but the baristas were friendly, calm, and efficient. A literal bachelorette party walked in after me and they handled it so well. Go pay Mad Priest a visit, and make sure you tip these amazing people!

Best cup of coffee Ive had out in a long time. I love that they have raw sugar and almond milk creamer if you happen to be vegan. My only complaint would be their hours as it limits me to pretty much 1 day a week I can go there, but I bought some to make at home for the rest of the week.

Ok I love StarbucksThis is so much better.I travel a lot.And try new thingsThis is the best Coffee Ive ever had

Amazing coffee and cool shop. Sounds like they do a lot of good beyond just making excellent coffee. Really loved it. You should check it out

Stopped into this charming spot I search of coffee on our way home from our trip. The coffee flavors had delightful names and we were fortunate enough to try the columbian and a dark roast. Both were full of flavor and a treat to experience. Look forward to stopping by again when we are in the area.

First order took a week to ship. Second shipment was more timely but the ‘Mad priest’ gimmick here is over the top. I like good coffee and quick, friendly service and that’s all I need. The coffee was good, they appreciated my second order. I lost interest in the coffee here after watching YouTube videos concerning priests being mad over coffee, I get it.. it’s a gimmick but I don’t want my coffee entangled in sacrilegious activities. Lol Packaging is fine, coffee roast and flavor is good.. I liked the varying levels of roasting and pricing. Goodman coffee is best. I also read how company’s respond to reviews.

Great coffee, great vibes, great people!

I love their Dark Night (dark roast) coffee. It was a dark night of the soul...A very long dark night... -St. John of God said so . His picture is on Mad Priests wonderful bag of Dark Night. Pick up, from friendly Mr. T, a bag or a fresh cup on Market near 23rd.And dont forget to treat yourself to a fresh dark chocolate (2 different flavors) scone. Also, its free parking and in good weather, like today, a sidewalk bench to watch the world go by, and summer shade trees on Market.This is the best coffee on either side of missionary ridge. Yes, their Roastery and drive thru pickup is on Dodson near TunnelI almost forgot to mention the Dark Night flavor notes. Especially the middle one on the list. Its really true, I can feel them as soon as I take my first sip... And this is not Fake News, its simply that MSNBC hasnt discovered Dark Night but dont tell them because we want Mad Priest for ourselves here in Chattanooga.

This coffee shop is one you can not miss. Espresso was full of flavor. People were super friendly. Beautiful place. Thank you guys

Ordered a dark roast drip and a lavender mocha. OMG! Both are incredible. The dark roast is smooth and delicious. The lavender mocha is probably the best speciality drink I’ve ever had. So delicious.

So, this morning coming out of the hotel in Chattanooga, we found two great places right next to each other. We stopped not knowing what to expect and we were very pleasantly surprised. The first place was Mad Priest Coffee house attended by Liz Sindler. Let me tell you, not only is she very friendly, the coffee is delicious. . I strongly recommend this coffee shop to all coffee lovers.And if you want a good donut, go right next door to Kochs Bakery where we purchased the best donuts that I have tried. We got the blueberry and coconut, chocolate glazed and plain donut. Let me tell you, amazing!!We are just traveling through Chattanooga and I made the mistake of thinking that I was not going to find anything nice. I was completely wrong, not only were the donuts & coffee great, but the people were very nice and friendly. Next, on the way to the Battle for Chattanooga, we found a soap company right on Broad St, Good Fortune Soap & Spa. My wife loved it! More people need to know about this place. Chattanooga is not only historical, but the people who are venturing into small businesses deserve to succeed. I am doing my part, now you do yours and go to Kochs bakery and next door is Mad Priest Coffee Roasters, both small but deserving recognition.

Found this little gem while on a road trip. The matcha latte was amazing! Love what they are doing here.This place is small but they have lots of parking which is a plus .

Nice people, nice place, good coffee. Very limited seating, so more of a to-go option. Limited food options but there is a bakery next door.

Love this shop! So happy to visit! People were super kind. Merch is affordable. Coffee is legit. Branding is my favorite.

The coffee was not good at all, and neither was the chai latte. The service was good, and they had yummy sparkling tea in a can. Just go somewhere else

One of the tastiest coffee beverages Ive ever had! Highly recommend Mad Priest to anyone looking for something local and trying to stray from the big coffee chains 🤩

This is bar none the best coffee in town. Creative seasonal drinks and great service.

Their chai was some of the best Ive ever had! Servers were gracious and kind.

Smoothest latte ever! I have never tried oat milk in a latte (or outside of a latte, come to think of it), but it sure was delicious! I had caramel latte and my husband had a matcha latte. What a great place! Well be back for sure.

I was already a big fan of their Cherry street location and was pleasantly surprised to find out they’d renovated the Broad street location. I’ve tried every coffee shop downtown and both Mad Priest cafes serve up the best lattes — they’ve mastered the oat milk latte. I have to go a little out of my way to stop in but I’ll continue to do so. The baristas are friendly, helpful, drinks are fairly priced and always made perfectly.

Grab a perfect shot of espresso in Chattanooga, TN!Try the homemade chai, ohhhh sooo good!Looking to tantalizing your tongue? Try the turmeric latte!Great bakery next door.Definitely would stop in again

Cute shop and friendly staff. I ordered a latte that was kinda pricey for the quality of the drink.

Staff was exceedingly friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. Coffee was good to me, but I am not a coffee freak. Pastry store right next door makes a great combination. Parking is easy and right next to the building.

One time I came in and sat down while I waited for the line to clear and a man came and very passive aggressively told me they didnt allow drinks from other places. It was water. I think about that a lot.

Very good variety of special coffees. So far the best Ive found in Chattanooga. They know their business, coffee was well done and served. Prices are a little high but not too bad. Elizabeth and Teddy bring a great and friendly service. Smiles are free. 100% recommended.

Ordered a vanilla mocha latte. The flavor of the coffee was first and foremost. The flavor of the coffee was balanced relative to the other flavors. To many coffee shops over power the drinks with high sugar additives. Definitely not the case here. Enjoy what we had ordered.

Great coffee! We visited the south side location.

Very tasty cappuccino!

Good coffee, interesting history and location.

This place is quaint and awesome! If you like cold brew, they have the best cold brew in Chattanooga in my opinion. Three are four bar stools in a window looking at the road, a door to Kochs to get a donut with your coffee, and super friendly staff.

Kind, helpful and speedy service. Great experience and an even better beverage. Look forward to returning when I am in Chattanooga again.

If you are a caramel frappe lover, then I highly recommend the iced caramel latte.

Omg! Absolutely lovely for a local specialty coffee shop. The naughty or nice was superb! Great service and a wonderful product!

This is our favorite local roaster by far! We love going in and getting a free drip when we buy our coffee! With Kochs, right next door, it makes for the perfect 1-2 punch of coffee and donuts!

Best coffee in chatt, especially the dark roast. Great people working there too.

Great iced latte, love their Benediction espresso blend! Very friendly staff.

Not only are the staff coffee connoisseurs, but they are also very friendly. Excellent coffee and wonderful atmosphere— seriously, loved the books and the reference to The Count of Monte Cristo.

Absolutely delicious coffee and the bakery next door has such savory old fashioned donuts and apple fritters!

Would not recommend the coffee here. Really bad taste, and the facility feels very dirty. Rude employees. Go somewhere else if you’re looking for good coffee and friendly staff.

Excellent oat milk latte made by Teddy! Their teas are good too. Perfect for enjoying with bakery items from Koch’s.

Awesome atmosphere, cute coffee shop. Will gladly go back.

Great coffee and service. Added bonus, it’s connected to Koch’s bakery so you can grab a tasty baked good to enjoy with your coffee!

I had a great time here. The barista was wonderful and made the best latte Ive had in awhile. My fiance and I got two of the seasonal drinks available. The brown sugar and cinnamon was my choice and it was perfectly foamy and comforting. My fiance got the cold brew with coconut and tamarind and he loved it. The barista was also extremely patient when I kept changing my mind if I was getting a t-shirt, hoodie, black mug, or white mug. I got the black mug.

Love this coffee and enjoy trying new kinds! Will go out of my way just to go here.

Great little coffee shop next to a bakery. I was in town visiting and stopped in for some morning coffee. I tried their cider latte. I really enjoyed it. The only thing was the coffees all came in one size and rather small. But very delicious!

Great coffee and good vibes!

Really good coffee. Came from out of town and I definitely recommend you try this place out!

AMAZING coffee and service!

Amazing shop, Tarig is so incredibly nice and coffee is delicious!

Only ever been for cocktails, but have never been disappointed. I love the space, it feels intimate but maybe a little too dark. The drink menu is reliable but interesting. I love their creative use of lesser known spirits and each drink has something unique!

Beer is way too pricey. My wife loves the coffee, but as I cant handle caffeine I was glad to go to a place that has other options. But 5$ for a 5oz draft is absolutely crazy and I should have noticed the sizes when I ordered. Otherwise very friendly staff and lovely ambiance.Edit: My wife does love the coffee and the ambiance is good. Sorry I got the wrong store. Have a blessed day.

Visited in the morning. The parking is next to the building and there was plenty.The service is great, informative, and pleasant. I had a few questions and the employee was very engaging.I ordered a drip coffee and its self serve. The coffee was pretty tasty.This location did not have any food, that I could quickly see, for sale (there is a donut shop/bakery next door).Overall great experience.

If you want great beans from roasters who will share their love for coffee, definitely stop by! This is not a syrup drink stop. These guys don’t burn their coffee. They love to engage in conversation about their craft if your so inclined. Plus they are connected with good souring practices. Don’t miss if your visiting or live in Chattanooga!

Delicious coffee, wonderful staff

We started coming here after they reopened post quarantine. They have THE best coffee in town. Its location is next to Kochs bakery making it a one stop shop for coffee and doughnuts. The barista is friendly and detail oriented. This place is a shining star on the Southside.

Best coffee roasters I’ve found in Chattanooga. One of the few places that doesn’t over-roast. The Sloth-Dispelling Breakfast Blend has become my regular morning brew. Tarig is a great barista and super friendly.

Love their coffee! Anything i have gotten there has been quality and delicious. Great location to grab a cup and a donut in the morning. I also love getting their single origins as well. Shop local people!!

Woah! Awesome coffee. Friendly staff! This will definitely be a destination I visit every time I come back to Chattanooga! This city is fortunate to have a gem like this. Keep up the great work.

Unfortunate circumstances at a near by hospital lead me here. I love their lattes and cappuccino. Thankful I have a place close by the hospital to walk to for a little break and some amazing drinks!

Mad Priest makes some furiously delectable coffee & perk-yaself-up beverages. They are transparent regarding the source of their product. Relationships matter and the Mad Priest team put in the work when it comes to their growers, patrons and the City of Chattanooga (see their up and coming new space as well as their presence in local businesses and the farmers market). I highly recommend giving them a try for yourself.

This is such a unique and authentic cup of coffee. I have roasted for over a decade and the Mad Priest concept endorses the roots of the plant with its exceptional single origin roasts. I stopped by while traveling but if this place were in my hometown Id be there every day.

I was buying coffee for my friend who is extremely picky when it comes to coffee. I believe the person who tended to my order name was Mark. Mark was very accommodating. He took the time to listen to a person who was on speaker phone. He took the order and made it to the exact specifications. It was an awesome experience!

This place just astounds me. They roast their coffee expertly, and buying whole bean from them has absolutely transformed my home coffee experience. They craft espresso beverages with care, and they definitely make the best cortado in town. But most incredibly- everything they do, they do with an ethical conscience as well as an artistic and culinary conscience. This is a company with a clear mission of supporting local refugee families as well as the communities across the globe from which their beans are sourced. They educate about the rich and complicated histories of these communities and are dedicated to furthering a more just future. I can’t say enough about Mad Priest. Thank you for being you!!

Delicious, Authentic Coffee. Not your chain coffeehouse. Small batch roaster I discovered while traveling through Chattanooga, TN. What a delicious find.

Mad Priest is a great place to drop into a quaint coffee shop where you get to experience the sights and sounds of a small-batch roaster and pick up a delicious coffee! I love dropping into this place, because it has a bunch of personality packed into a tiny space.

Some of the best coffee in Chattanooga. An inclusive and community minded organization. Mad Priest is an excellent institution.

The “Magnificent Seasonal Blend” is incredible. Very light with a little spice but also a little sweet too. Very drinkable. Great coffee.

Great coffee, would go the extra mile just for this coffee.

Bought a bag of theirs from Camp House a while back and absolutely loved it and when I found out that they finally got their own location, I was over there in a heartbeat. These guys are doing great things and cant wait to see them bloom. Highly recommend stopping by their shop.

Brilliant tones in the coffee and their vision for empowering those who have been displaced is something Im grateful to support every time I pass through Chattanooga.

Only had a cappuccino but it was delicious. Thankful for good coffee right next to a bakery.

Small coffee shop next to bakery where I enjoyed an iced Americano.

World class operations! Coffee plus purpose! When it comes to talent and passion, the cup overflowith at Mad Priest.

The dream

Best coffee in Chattanooga, hands down. In fact, I believe theyre roasting some of the best coffee in earth, and leveraging that incredible product to drive a mission of real value. What they do with both coffee and refugees is incredible. 100% must visit if youre in or near Chattanooga.

Great coffee at a great price with friendly service!

Amazing cold brew, delicious craft hand brew, friendly staff, & very convenient access from i24. Our new go-to travel coffee spot! They don’t have tons of seating at this location, but the owner said they’ll be opening a full cafe soon.

Incredible coffee without any of the frills. Very kind employees, too! I will definitely be back.

Delicious craft coffee, great service, and such a cool mission! This is one of the best coffee places in Chattanooga! They source and roast great coffee from all over the world.

One of my new favorite spots. They make some amazing coffee. Its great to see another awesome coffee shop in Chattanooga.

Great local fresh brewed coffee the Dark knight dark roast delicious

Great local gem, we were in Chattanooga on a family vacation, looking for a place to have gelato, this was it! Unique gelato flavors, excellent coffee, in a cosy, little shop. Servers took the time needed to prepare our orders correctly, not to be rushed, when you are waiting for something great. Must try if you are in Chattanooga! Dont miss this little gem!

Excellent nitro cold brew.

A quaint little Coffee Spot parking next to building very good service loved the straight to business ambience and the coffee was fantastic will definitely be coming back anytime Im in Chattanooga

Mad Priest has amzaing coffee in a unique cozy small coffee shop. It is next door to a bakery so you can get a sweet pastry to enjoy with your coffee.

Never been onsite, but will hopefully get there one day. Had some of the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe through Angels Cup. Totally legit beans and definitely expertly roasted. Really nice

Great attention to detail and a perfect cup of coffee!

Fantastic service. So friendly and helpful. Delicious coffee,

Hands down my favorite coffee brand in town - always happy to see when I find a coffee shop is serving Mad Priest - especially Be Caffinated right down the street from my house!

Friendly, knowledgeable people serving fantastic coffee and espresso drinks. They know how to roast as well and it shows.

Great coffee, friendly staff, engaging mission. The manual brew Ethiopian was smoothly superb. Coffee as craft and art.
