Genesis House of Tea: The Perfect Girls’ Day Out in Chattanooga

100 Ramen & Hibachi & Sushi Bar just opened by the Aloft Hotel in Hamilton Place- and they've got some cool grand opening deals I'm sharing below! There's a big menu with lots of Japanese variety, and it's a great mix of comfort food and healthy options (they’re even right next door to Crunch Fitness, so it’s basically balanced, right?).

Address: 2090 Hamilton Place Boulevard, Chattanooga, TN

My First Visit

I went in to give it a try, and here’s the rundown:

• Shrimp Hibachi – fresh, sizzling, and loaded with flavor.
• Gyoza appetizer – the perfect comfort bites
• ‍Chicken Katsu Donburi- not many places have this around town, I was a big fan!

• Boba Tea – I love fruit boba tea!! And popping pearls! I got the mango, and it was great! And okay, confession: I’m usually not a milk tea person. But their ZangZang Boba Tea? Surprisingly good.
• Tonkotsu Ramen – my personal favorite of the night. Rich, hearty, and exactly what you want in a bowl of ramen.
• Sushi – beautifully crafted by Kevin, the sushi chef. Nothing here is pre-made, so yes, it may take a little longer if he’s busy- but the results are so worth it.

I got to talk to the owners and they told me they’re aiming to be a healthier, quick, intentional option while still giving you all the fun of a full ramen + hibachi + sushi + boba lineup.

Goat Yoga with Wild Roots Collective at Hixson Farms: A Relaxing and Laugh-Filled Day in the Country

If you're looking for something lighthearted, outdoorsy, and genuinely fun around Chattanooga, goat yoga at Hixson Farms with Wild Roots Collective checks every box. Whether you’re planning a girls’ day out, a bachelorette weekend, or just want a unique way to rewind (and maybe giggle a little), this yoga experience is equal parts wholesome and hilarious.

You’ll stretch, laugh, and maybe get a little goat cuddle—all in the middle of the scenic farmland just outside the city. Add in friendly animals, handmade natural products, and a great local instructor, and you’ve got one of the more memorable ways to spend a Saturday.

The Experience

Goat yoga with Wild Roots Collective isn’t just a yoga class—it’s an experience. It’s held at Hixson Farms, a peaceful location in north Georgia that offers private farm tours and family-friendly animal encounters. The class itself combines restorative yoga poses with the occasional goat clambering onto your back, nuzzling your arm, or lounging nearby. Baby goats wander through the session, and they’re the perfect mix of unpredictable and adorable.

The classes are led by Meg with Wild Roots Collective TN, a certified yoga instructor who brings a warm and laid-back energy to the session. She does a great job creating a calming flow while also embracing the lightness that having goats around naturally brings. So whether you're experienced or brand new to yoga, you'll feel welcomed and comfortable.

Beyond the yoga, Hixson Farms gives you time afterward to meet their other animals. On our visit, we got to feed and pet cows and goats—not something you do every day. The whole day felt relaxed and low-key, but also had that “this is something I’ll talk about for a while” feeling.

What to Know Before You Go

Location:
Hixson Farms is located in Flintstone, Georgia—about 20 minutes south of downtown Chattanooga. It’s an easy and scenic drive.

Booking:
Goat yoga sessions are organized by Wild Roots Collective TN and offered seasonally or by private request. Follow @wildrootscollective_tn on Instagram to see upcoming classes or DM for private bookings. They offer group options for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, team events, and more.

Meg also teaches regular yoga classes around the Chattanooga area, both in-person and online. She’s responsive via Instagram if you’re interested in setting something up.

Pricing:
Prices vary by session and group size.

Parking:
Free parking is available on-site at Hixson Farms. It’s a farm setting, so wear shoes that you don’t mind getting a little dusty.

What to Bring:
A yoga mat, water bottle, sunscreen, and maybe a towel or wipes for afterward. You’ll be outside, so dress for the weather.

Extra Tips or Bonuses

- After your goat yoga class, make time to explore Hixson Farms a bit more. They offer private farm tours with other animals, and it’s a hit with both kids and animal-loving adults.

- Meg with Wild Roots also creates her own line of small-batch natural products. Her bug spray and beef tallow balm are local favorites. She ships nationwide and sometimes holds local meetups to shop in person.

- Want to turn it into a full outing? Hixson Farms is near Lookout Mountain, Cloudland Canyon, and Rock City—perfect for pairing yoga with a scenic hike or picnic.

Final Thoughts

Goat yoga at Hixson Farms is one of those things you might not think to do—until you do it and wonder why you waited. It’s light and fun but also grounding, and a good reminder that wellness doesn’t have to feel serious. It’s great for small groups, birthday plans, or anyone who wants to enjoy nature while doing something truly different.

If goofy goats, fresh air, and genuine joy sound like your kind of escape, this is a local experience you’ll want to try.

Bubble Way: Chattanooga's New Spot for Boba, Bubble Waffles, and Taiwanese Treats

If you’re a fan of bubble tea—or curious to try new Taiwanese-inspired snacks—there’s a fresh addition to the Chattanooga food scene that’s worth checking out. Bubble Way is a family-owned shop bringing boba, bubble waffles, snow ice, and ramen to East Brainerd, and it's already become a welcoming go-to for something a little different. Whether you love a classic milk tea or want to branch out with a creamy shaved snow dessert, Bubble Way blends flavor, creativity, and comfort all in one cozy spot.

The Experience

Walking into Bubble Way feels like stepping into a bright, cheerful corner of Taipei right here in Chattanooga. The interior is simple but inviting, with cute touches and a clean layout that makes it easy to drop by for a quick sip or a more filling snack.

The menu has a great mix of familiar favorites and hard-to-find-in-Chattanooga items. Bubble tea lovers will be glad to see a wide range of options—from fruity teas like passionfruit and mango to indulgent milk teas with brown sugar and taro. You can customize your sugar level and toppings (tapioca pearls, popping boba, agar jelly, and more), making it easy to find your perfect combo.

But what really sets Bubble Way apart is the variety beyond boba. Their bubble waffles—a crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside grid of puffs—can be ordered plain or as a dessert wrapped around toppings like ice cream, fruit, and sauces. It’s fun to eat and perfect for sharing (or not sharing, we won’t judge).

Another standout is their snow ice, a light, fluffy frozen dessert that’s kind of like a cross between ice cream and shaved ice. It’s delicate, creamy, and comes with a choice of toppings. Bubble Way is the first in Chattanooga to offer this unique treat, and it’s an especially great pick on hot days or after something spicy.

Speaking of savory, there’s also ramen on the menu for when you’re in the mood for soup. Simple but hearty, it rounds out the offerings and makes Bubble Way more of a one-stop spot for snacking and meals alike.
