Goodman Coffee Roasters - St. Elmo

🌊🌊🌊☕Goodman’s is an amazing third wave coffee shop! ☕🌊🌊🌊

My wife and I stopped by at Goodman‘s Coffee Roasters in Saint Elmo on our way home through Chattanooga. I’m a coffee connoisseur, so I am always on the hunt for speciality cafes in my vicinity. We read about this coffee roaster & cafe online and decided it was worth our time. We were certainly not disappointed – in fact, we were blown away! 🤯

When we walked into the quaint store front, the barista greeted us warmly. I was drawn to their whole beans on the shelf and inquired about the roast and processing of their various coffees, so the barista contacted their expert roaster,
Tyler, who was super friendly and answered my (many) questions about their coffee beans and roasting process. Tyler even invited me to see his roasting equipment! 🤩

After nerding out about coffee with Tyler for quite a while, I was thrilled to then go and order my coffee. I got their drip Honduras (natural process) and my wife ordered a latte (the espresso blend includes Guava Banana🍈🍌). Both drinks were excellent! The drip coffee was clean and bright with hints of fruitiness and sweetness. My wife said the espresso tasted like banana bread—a delicious treat!

As you can see from the pics, we’re taking home several different bags of coffee 😁 I was so excited about the guava banana that I couldn’t even wait till we got home to open the bag! What a rich, pleasing aroma! You can see the beans look fresh and nicely roasted from the picture. ☕

Next time you’re in Chatt Town, it’s well worth your time to visit Goodman’s! We certainly will be returning soon! 👋

Best Coffee roasters in town. It's got a cozy vibe and the staff is always super friendly. Their merchandise is also very nice quality. Plenty of beans fresh to purchase and a bunch of different and unique brews. My go to for coffee in the entire Chattanooga area.

The peppermint mocha latte with oat milk is the best! Their blueberry muffins are amazingly delicious. Also they make designs on your coffee if you ask!♥ Love the location close to the Riverwalk and VA greenway in St. Elmo.

We LOVE this place! Amazing croissants! Highly recommend. Always fresh and fast.

I can’t say enough good things about Goodman. It is a must stop for my family and I when we are in town. The coffee they roast is extremely on point, and they offer most of their options on pourover. Very friendly baristas. The atmosphere is really great and there is inside and outside seating available. The location right in the middle of St Elmo is perfect. Parking can be a bit tricky during peak hours but the entire surrounding area is walkable so it’s fine. Highly recommended third wave shop!

I love this cozy coffee shop. I got a giant coffee cup and a cheese/ham scone. It was perfect!

We passed by to get an coffee expresso to go and it was really good. Nice coffee shop with great variety of coffees , teas and pastries.

Espresso isn't bitter or sour, it's smooth and has a good aftertaste, the drinks are priced fairly, the baristas were nice and answered our questions, and the latte art is cute!

Best coffee in chatt and very helpful staff! I got super fresh beans and the cortado is always great.

First time trying Goodman Coffee and it is super GREAT! I got the iced vanilla latte with coconut milk. Also LOVE that they offer ordering online for curbside pick up - huge plus for people like me that don’t wanna try to find parking and order inside. Thank you!

We ordered a small drip and a peppermint mocha. Both delicious. The atmosphere was comfortable and unpretentious. There was clearly a bunch of locals that they greeted by name. The employees were kind and helpful.

I liked this place a lot. It was very cozy and had some good coffee. They were very generous and showed me their roasters. The service was excellent and timely. They even gave me a cool coffee bag that I can now hang in my room!
The prices were also appropriate. If they increased it a bit, I would not mind at all. Definitely recommend.

The staff and coffee are great here. Service leaves nothing to be desired, and a consistently good cup of coffee is no small feat. I love the ‘Shred’ roast; my wife and I buy it in bulk to brew at home. It’s ruined darker roasts for me! Glad to he in a community where such a quality business is run.

Artisan coffee, roasted on-site, espresso and drip as well as beans for purchase. Indoor & outdoor seating with sunshades at the foot of Lookout Mountain.

Goodman coffee is the BEST coffee in town! It's also run by the nicest people in the world. I got the turmeric latte today and it's pleasantly spicy and delicious! 😋😍

Great coffee. Good vibe. Tasty eats. Fresh roasted goodness all around

Absolutely loved the st elmo location! They have a wonderful selection of tea and actually know how to brew it properly!! The everything bagel was delicious! The baristas were very knowledgeable, professional, and fast.

I will say the market street location is a better location however the quality is no where near the same. The batista could not answer flavor question aviut their coffee and had no idea when it came to the green tea. I was very disappointed in the difference. We went to both in the same day because we loved st elmo so much but left deeply disappointed.

Ian and Tyler are definitely one of America's a-list roasters. Not just my opinion, they have the performance in North American and international roasting competitions to prove it!

The atmosphere alone is worth the visit! Friendly, kind people who care about what they're producing. The tea is fantastic, and there's plenty of space to relax.

I've also ordered whole-bean coffee and had it shipped across the country. Rave reviews from the recipients every time!

Far and away the best coffee in Chattanooga!It's a family business with an amazing staff and innovative roasters, and to top it all off they are serious about developing relationships with the farmers that supply their beans, and making sure that their business honors and supports those farmers. Unlike many roasters who do these kinds of things as PR stunts, the people at Goodman are true in their pursuit of sustainable practices and fair trade, and that care and respect shows through in the amazing coffees they put out. Can't say enough about this place, please check them out whether you're Chatt local or in from out of town.
