Mean Mug Coffeehouse Northshore

Mean Mug Coffeehouse has several locations around Chattanooga, and Northshore is the roasting headquarters, so sometimes you can catch the roasting. There's a big shared deck and a semi-private room with a picture window.

The espresso drinks are well made, and the drip usually has two roasts to choose from. The London Fog is one of the favorites.

Inside there are wooden tables, concrete floors and tapestries that soften the sound. Free wifi and outlets make it popular with remote workers and students, so it fills up on weekdays. Off-peak hours are easier. The outdoor seating is dog-friendly.
