Tue-Fri: 6:30a-1p; Sat: 8a-3p A review from Yelp accurately describes this awesome little find: "The coffee is fresh roasted on site and served up in a friendly and attentive manner. Every barista has been fantastic in their customer service and well trained on the equipment. I drink French pressed Mayfly coffee at home and drop in the shop for a latte or a conversational cup of coffee. The shop is casual and exudes warmth. Mayfly is a personal favorite!"

Parks & Nature

The beautiful Cumberland Trail begins at Signal Point Park, part of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. From the overlook, the trail descends into Middle Creek Gorge and along Rainbow Lake before entering Prentice Cooper State Forest. The trail ascends out of the gorge to then follow the plateau rim, affording multiple overlooks of the Tennessee River Gorge before dropping into the North Suck Creek Gorge, and crossing the creek on a suspension bridge, and eventually emerges on Suck Creek Road (TN 27). Highlights include Signal Point; an overlook of wet-weather waterfall; Lockhart’s Arch & other rock formations; & Edwards Point with it's spectacular view of the TN River!

Everything Else

Nice church for Sunday mornings. Service starts at 10:40am. A bit more formal than normal (no jeans/tees) but khakis are fine.
