Excellent and super satisfying whole plant based food! If I'm ever in Chattanooga again this will be a must stop for me.
We grabbed some nachos and a breakfast bowl this morning. Everything was very fresh. Didn’t feel gross after eating the nachos. I wasn’t blown away by the breakfast bowl, but the nachos were solid. I’d go back and try some other things on the menu.
Okay y’all, been hearing about Southern Squeeze and decided to take the squad down there. First, all vegan and no dairy or meat. If you’re looking for a traditional sandwich or, pretty much anything, keep looking. This is non-traditional and very proud of it.You’re looking at an $11 waffle. No kidding. Cold and crunchy, no thanks. Others in the party liked their power bowls and smoothie drinks. For me, eh….sorry!I felt like they were trying to throw a fastball by me at these prices, presentation and quantity.If I’m looking for a snack that’s healthy, probably a cool place; not so much for a hearty meal.
I have to give this spot a 3.. the staff was super friendly and helpful, the interior and exterior decor was beautiful, however I came in for a "doughnut" and a shot of espresso and I was very underwhelmed. I know a thing or two about coffee/espresso and my shot was very sour and difficult to drink. A good shot needs no additives (sugar, cream, etc).I think I overlooked the mention of this being a mostly or entirely raw restaurant which is fine, but I did have an issue with the icing on the matcha doughnut. It seemed it was made of coconut oil and matcha powder and perhaps some sort of sweetener. The issue with coconut oil is that it melts very easily. I didn't like the flavor, but once the icing melted off I was able to enjoy the "doughnut" portion. I realize this neighborhood is a sort of posh one, however nearly 11 dollars for a shot of icky espresso and a meh raw doughnut is not cool.
I'm not vegan, I'm not a vegetarian, I'm not a hipster, but I LOVE this place. The smoothies are extremely different from anything you have ever had. Most smoothie places leave me with uncomfortable stomach issues. I drink raw milk exclusively so it could be the cheap pasteurized milk they use. But SS smoothies leave me refreshed and energized. And the staff are so cool, so helpful, so EVERYTHING!
Lots of options at this vegan restaurant-we got the chili and loaded Thai potato The chili was great, the Thai potato was okay (needed roasted potatoes instead of pureed potatoes) The back to zen smoothie was delightful
Delicious Thai bowl (pictured) and an amazing cherry dessert bar. Produce was 10/10 fresh. Perfect. Prices are higher than some lunches, but large portions, great flavors, and the obvious love and care that go into the dishes equate to good value. It is not often that my wife and I can go to a restaurant and be able to pick anything on the menu (due to wheat allergy). What a treat—we’ll be back.
Staff was super friendly & the environment is great! Super pleased with my 1st time experience, Highly recommend. We ordered the paradise bowl and apricot power bites. Did not disappoint & Will definitely be back.
There are quite a few locations that feature a delightful breakfast or brunch downtown in our scenic city. Most of them are small and all of them have a difficult time keeping the wait time down for hungry customers on weekends. There really are very few quality solutions to this dilemma. We found one! Drive a few minutes north from downtown Chattanooga to Southern Squeeze. Just two miles beyond the north shore of the Tennessee River you will find a wonderful enclave of trendy boutiques and service providers. Southern Squeeze provides a healthy and inspirational breakfast in a clean environment with an outdoor alternative. The menu is packed with breakfast bowls, waffles, smoothies, teas and coffees that appeal to the eye as much as the pallet. The staff are helpful in that they look like they are fully committed to nutrition and beauty. Our selections were both from the breakfast and lunch menus because there were so many tempting options. We enjoyed our visit and meal. We will go directly to Southern Squeeze when in Chattanooga again.
Incredible food!! The poke bowl is my favorite, followed by the waffles as a close second. Love the atmosphere!
