Grilled cashew cheese was really good, and so was the soup. Tons of gluten free and vegan options. Desserts are great, as are the smoothies. You order at the register, but they have menus at the front you can grab and look at before ordering. They also have an outside area, some of which is covered. Will definitely come back.

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!

The coffee was great but the pastries were even better! They have many gluten free options! The line was not terribly long but it still took quite a while to order—only one register in the place. Outdoor seating area is quite nice!

We have been here multiple times traveling through. I like to give folks the benefit of the doubt, but multiple times we have waited absurd amounts of time. Placed an online order. Waited 35 mins PAST when it was told to be ready and left empty handed. Turned out the kitchen was out of gluten free bread and couldn’t make it. The lady up front tried to help and offered a free drink, but that’s not why I was there. So, they refunded and did apologize. I always appreciate an apology, but it was poor communication from the kitchen. (Again, we’ve been here multiple times and slow service is a repeat.)

Adelle’s did not disappoint! We went for Sunday breakfast and was delighted to see live music and a welcoming casual atmosphere. Service was quick, and the manager (I wish I had asked her name) was very sweet and attentive. The food was delicious, especially the hash browns. The bacon was crispy, and they even have gluten free crepe’s available! 10/10 we would absolutely eat here again when in the area.

Brought my daughter here for lunch. They do great with ensuring a gluten-free meal for my daughter. Service was pretty quick from when we placed our order to when we received our food. Nice relaxing environment. It wasn't overly crowded when we visited, so that was enjoyable. Overall a good experience!

I'm personally not impressed with a business that has two things on the menu: the tomato bisque soup and a chocolate rice crispy for a gluten allergy. The vast choices of gluten-free bread out there to add to your menu and training in preparation for your staff would be more profitable. Think about it. I won't be back.

They have many delicious coffee and tea drinks iced or hot with dairy and non-dairy options as well as yummy seasonal beverages. Be Caffeinated also has at least one gluten-free bakery option as well as muffins, scones, cake pops and egg bites. I've enjoyed many an iced coffee or chai and a gf scone. My little pup enjoyed a pup cup too.

I love bringing my little here because there’s so many indoor and outdoor options for seating and clean restrooms. The coffee is always good and the food is amazing. It’s not on the menu but they do have Gluten Free bread that they can substitute on sandwiches. My husband enjoyed that and I had an Asiago bagel with bacon egg and cheese. So good!

I have a severe gluten intolerance. They were very nice about trying to accommodate me, and told me the meal I wanted to order had gluten free ingredients. However, when it came out it didn't have the sauce because the sauce wasn't actually gluten free, and the meal was kind of weird without it. I just wished they'd asked me if I wanted something else, because it seemed like there were other options.

From the street, this place doesn't look like much, but once inside, the atmosphere comes to life. My server Chris was kind and helpful. He was attentive and recommended the fajitas. The chicken in the fajitas were tender, and the veggies they were cooked with made for an overall delightful dish. The desert menue at this place is large, and there were a variety of options, including some gluten-free deserts. The tiramisu was delicious. Soft and creamy. Sweet but not overbearing. This place made me feel like a friend and not just a customer. I would 100% come back here with my family and friends.

Very serious baked goods and coffee. We tried a muffin and a scone and a gluten free peanut butter cookie. Just outstanding! (At this time there wasn’t a sign about the cookies being gluten free, but the cashier told me about them) Made in house goodness 😋 Drank cappuccinos one day and cortados another day and they were fabulous. Would absolutely recommend!
