I decided I wanted to spend a little extra time in Chattanooga before I headed home after a continuing ed opportunity. I wanted a coffee and a treat to take on a walk by the river. After a little googling, I settled on Sleepyhead. It was a good choice! This little coffeeshop is inside the James Building. Truth be told, idk what else goes on inside the James Building, but the shop itself is on the left as you enter the front entrance. It's very small and there's only a couple of stools to sit on so it's mostly a grab and go operation, but wow is it adorable inside! I loved the welcoming, dreamy, upbeat vibes, as well as all the plants and the soft neon. One interesting thing on the menu is a couple CBD-infused drinks. Talk about sleepyhead! ;) I'd not seen that before but the concept is intriguing! Employees were super friendly and guided me in the direction of their sweeter current specialty lattes. They said one of the fruitier ones (raspberry? Strawberry? Can't remember) was the sweetest, but I don't like fruity coffee so I chose the pistachio latte instead. They made it for me quickly. I couldn't help but grab a donut and a sticker to commemorate my visit. All their food is vegan here and some of it is gluten free. I can't remember if my donut was GF or not, but I DO remember it being delicious. The icing on top wasn't gritty at all nor was it over sweet. The cake itself was a little bit dense but it kind of worked? I much prefer a cakey donut to an airy one so this was a winner for me! I can't remember if it was chai, Apple cider, or both, but it was definitely a spice cake and super yummy with my coffee. The coffee was tasty and VERY strongly pistachio, which I for one was all about! I love the nutty, slightly sweet, vanilla-y flavor. In a perfect world I like my drinks a little sweeter, but as I said, it's partly on me because the employees did tell me. Still, I enjoyed it very thoroughly and would definitely return. I'll enjoy my sweet sleepyhead cat sticker and think back on this visit fondly!

Came here for a date night and it didn't disappoint! Kevin was super sweet and accommodating with my gluten allergy. Can't wait to come back again soon!

My wife and I enjoyed this quite a bit. The only unfortunate thing was that the GF French Toast wasn't safe for celiac but it was safe for those who simply like to eat GF.

If you're in Chattanooga, I highly recommend this restaurant! From the Caesar salad, deviled eggs with candied bacon, roasted beets and goat cheese to the Shrimp and Grits, and their Hibiscus Mule(house ginger beer). Everything from Service to food was Excellent. Ended the meal with their Praline Caramel Carrot Cake. Very Good! They also have a Good gluten free selection.

Food is delicious and the atmosphere is great! They had the outer wall open since the weather was nice, giving it an open air feel. They also accommodated gluten free needs which was greatly appreciated!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. My daughter has celiac disease and they were extremely helpful and careful with her food. I definitely recommend the restaurant.

Love Easy Bistro! We hosted our son and daughter-in-love’s rehearsal dinner here. Mike was so great to work with, it was like planning with a kindred spirit 😊. So much patience, kindness, and communication. The night was absolutely beautiful and everyone was wonderful. Mike checked in several times, waitstaff was friendly and attentive, and the food was out of this world! The chef was so accommodating for our two celiac meals, no one was left out of enjoying the meal. We could not have asked for a lovelier experience. Thank you for making our night so special!
