Greyfriar's, Chattanooga

If you want great coffee, delicious eats, and a warm, cozy atmosphere, Greyfriar's beats SBUX an all counts. Add the competitive prices, and you have found your new favorite cafe haunt. You won't find fresh-cooked healthy meals at any of the coffee chain stores either. Visit Greyfriar's and peruse the menu for breakfas,t and lunch and dinner fare - you'll be back! And you'll most likely see me there. Considering I live in the Atlanta area, that in and of itself should speak volumes! (though I put my "Visit" date at Jan 2004, I've been to Greyfriar's so often, I can't even remember when I first discovered Chattanooga's cafe treasure)

The staff is friendly and helpful at Greyfriar's. The place is nice but relaxed. Drinking coffee and having a bagel there is like being at home. Plenty of free newspapers. I live downtown and it is my favorite place for casual coffee and conversaation

Wide range of coffee, expert on-site roaster, and a cozy atmosphere make this late night coffee haunt a personal favorite of mine. I'm there most every single day! Very friendly staff and a dedicated owner have helped this establishment become the success that it is today. Right next to Lupi's Pizza, the best pizza in Chattanooga.

Every once in a while you get really lucky and stumble upon a place that seems to just beg you to sit still and take the time to simply relax and reflect on something other than the daily grind (no pun intended)and the first time I entered Greyfriar's, I knew that I had found such a place. Not to mention the warm and inviting aroma of coffee and pastries that wafts past the nose as you enter the door, anyone visiting will immediately recognize this shop as a place conducive to soft, sanguine conversations that carry on without regard to time or trouble. So, how much does it cost for admittance into this eddy amidst the raging rush of what has become our lives? Not very much at all. My drink of preference in the summer is a mocha frapp -- almost two bucks cheaper than the local st**buck's. BUT WAIT! That's not all! 802.11g wireless is available...for free with no login! Nice huh? See you there.
