Derek and I love coffee shops. You can read about some of the ones we frequent here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one thing I have missed the most during the pandemic is sitting inside a coffee shop. Getting to-go orders, or sitting outside, is just not the same. I miss the cozy ambience of being inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only coffee shop we\u2019ve never stopped going to is Rembrandt\u2019s, because they have a large outdoor patio. I love going to Rembrandt\u2019s, truly, but I ultimately want to rotate with the other places again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the pandemic started, we have found two new coffee places. Except they\u2019re not really places at all, which is best during a pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Be) Caffeinated is a drive thru in Red Bank on Dayton Blvd, not far from where we live. It\u2019s been open a little over a year. We had passed it multiple times, but never gave it a second thought. A drive thru is now one of the safest places you can go these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, as I\u2019ve noted before, I can\u2019t offer any opinions on the coffee. I only get chai lattes. However, at (Be) Caffeinated, Derek has ordered the Hazelnut Bliss as well as the Gig City Mocha. Derek says it is worth noting that their cold brew is strong. So strong that, getting a coffee in the early afternoon kept him up all night! We now know to go here in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few months ago, when the Chattanooga Market opened up, we also discovered Spill the Beans, a coffee truck. At Spill the Beans, Derek has ordered the toffee nut cold brew. Spill the Beans\u2019 schedule looks a little different these days, but normally you would find them at some of the bigger events in Chattanooga, as well as sporting events. We always look forward to going to the Market on weekends, and now Spill the Beans is included in that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our desire to get coffee and chai on the weekends has not waned despite the pandemic. At least we have these two options, which we will keep in rotation even after the pandemic has ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
