Plant Bar — Restaurant in Chattanooga

I absolutely loved this coffee shop when we first visited — the ambiance was incredible, the concept of a coffee bar was so refreshing, and everything being organic was a huge plus. It was such a memorable experience that on our second visit, we even took a detour just to come back.

However, during that visit, we encountered an issue that was quite distressing. As soon as we stepped inside, we noticed an unleashed dog roaming freely. One of the dogs came up to my wife who suffers from cynophobia (a severe fear of dogs) and rubbed his body to her legs. It was a very triggering moment for her and she went out crying as this was the closest any dog came to her in her life.

I totally respect and understand that many patrons enjoy bringing their dogs, and I know this may be a sensitive topic for dog lovers. That said, I do feel that establishments that promote inclusivity should also consider individuals who live with specific phobias or anxieties. Even a simple policy around leash requirements or designated pet-friendly hours could go a long way.

Still a great spot, and I hope to return again if this can be addressed. Thanks to the team for creating such a thoughtful and...

So happy we found this spot! The vibe is everything and the drinks are delish! They have snacks for purchase including local baked goods. That pumpernickel everything bagel with the vegan garlic butter is not to be missed! This is our third time visiting and this trip we decided to try it with the vegan cream cheese. Last time my hubby got the chamomile tulsi chia which reminded me of drinking a warm oatmeal cookie, so you could imagine how good that was! This trip I opted to try the Stimulation Merkola Chai and hubby went with the Dreamy Blue Lotus Cacao, both with the cosmic add on. They are currently doing a happy hour special and we were cutting it close. There wasn’t anyone at the register when we walked in so in order to make it on time, Cameron graciously came over from the dispensary side to help us out! We live in Atlanta but frequent the area about once a month with this quickly becoming one of our go to spots while we are here! It provides a calming space to chill (comfy couches and lots of plants, yes please!) and enjoy a yummy treat…already looking forward...

Coming from a recreational state, I have to say I was spoiled with my CBD and Cannabis options. Moving back had me worried I wouldn't be able to find my go-to spot. With that being said, I am OVER THE MOON to have found Plant Bar and Ashville dispensary!

The atmosphere is quite calming and gorgeous. I loved how much room there was to relax without feeling like you're encroaching on someone else's time.

I love cannabis and coffee and to be able to get a phenomenal latte later in the day is game changer! Angie was such a gem and I enjoyed her help. She was so knowledgeable and personable. I came in for a latte and left with a couple of cannabis seltzers per her recommendation! I've never been into alcohol so it was quite refreshing to find a place that is more cannabis infused based.

Looking forward to many more visits and also checking out the live music they sometimes have on Fridays...
