Together Cafe: One of Chattanooga’s Best Kept Coffee Shop Secrets

The Together Cafe: A Cozy Chattanooga Coffee Shop With Heart

Tucked into the Highland Park neighborhood, The Together Cafe is one of those rare spots that’s equally cozy, community-focused, and genuinely delicious. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to work, meet a friend, or sip on something creative, this locally loved coffee shop delivers in all the right ways — and it’s doing good behind the scenes, too.

This one’s a true hidden gem, just east of downtown Chattanooga, and it’s the kind of place you’ll find yourself returning to again and again (especially once you try the cereal milk latte). Here’s everything you need to know if you’re thinking about stopping by.

The Experience

From the outside, The Together Cafe looks humble, but inside you'll find a warm, inviting space that clearly prioritizes comfort and connection. There’s a mix of seating — cozy couches upstairs, window perches downstairs, and a separate side room that adds extra space, complete with a small kids’ play area. It’s clear they’ve thought about families, remote workers, and anyone who just wants a peaceful break in their day.

The menu is creative and fun, with espresso drinks that go well beyond the usual. A longtime favorite is the cereal milk latte (yes, it tastes like the end of a bowl of your favorite childhood cereal), but don’t miss their seasonal creations. This summer, it’s the “Summer in Dubai” latte — a unique blend of Nutella and pistachio syrup with strawberry cold foam and flaky kataifi on top. It’s indulgent, refreshing, and unlike anything you’ll find at a chain coffee shop.

For non-coffee drinkers or hotter days, The Together Cafe also serves up bubble tea-style refreshers with rotating popping boba flavors. Watermelon seems to be a standout right now if you want something fruity and fresh.

Final Thoughts

Creative Discovery Museum Turns Into the Most Fun 21+ Night Out Every Few Months

If you’ve only been to the Creative Discovery Museum with kids, think again—this local favorite transforms into a 21+ playground for “Drink and Discover,” a quarterly adults-only event that brings out the inner child with a grown-up twist. I went with a friend for the summer edition, and exploring the museum with a drink in hand was genuinely a blast. It’s the kind of Chattanooga experience that feels refreshingly different for a night out. Mark your calendar: the next one’s happening October 24, and it’s worth checking out.

Drink and Discover at the Creative Discovery Museum: Chattanooga's Best Adults-Only Night Out

If you’ve ever wandered through the Creative Discovery Museum with your kids and secretly thought, “This place would be even more fun with a cocktail in hand,” you’re not alone — and that’s exactly what “Drink and Discover” is all about. A few times a year, the museum transforms into a 21+ evening event, where grown-ups get the rare chance to explore, experiment, and relive the magic of childhood, with the bonus of drinks, music, and food. Whether you’re heading there with your partner, your coworkers, or just a friend who’s down for a fun night, this is one of Chattanooga’s best under-the-radar experiences for adults.

The Experience

“Drink and Discover” is exactly what it sounds like: you drink, and you discover. All the core exhibits at the Creative Discovery Museum stay open for the night, giving you access to science experiments, art stations, giant musical instruments, and the famous rooftop play area—all without the kids. There’s usually a loose seasonal theme, photo ops, and activities tailored for adults, like beer tastings, food vendors, trivia games, or themed crafts.

The vibe is playful and laid-back. Think less "nightclub" and more "field trip for adults." People come in groups or on casual dates, meandering from floor to floor, chatting over beers while shooting air cannons or building marble runs. It’s a social, low-pressure event where you can actually talk, laugh, and let your inner kid roam free.

What to Know Before You Go

Next Event: The next “Drink and Discover” is scheduled for Thursday, October 24.

Time: Most events run from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Occasionally, they may have extended hours for seasonal themes—check the museum’s website for confirmed details.

Location: Creative Discovery Museum, 321 Chestnut St, Chattanooga, TN 37402

Tickets: Admission usually costs around $20-$25 per person, and includes access to all exhibits and activities. Drink tickets and food are typically available for purchase on-site.

Age Requirement: This is a 21+ event. IDs checked at the door.

Parking: There’s a paid lot directly across from the museum, and additional parking garages along Broad Street and near the Tennessee Aquarium. Plan a few extra minutes to park, especially for evening events downtown.

Tickets and more details: Visit cdmfun.org or check their Events tab for up-to-date ticket sales and info.

Extra Tips or Bonuses

- Come hungry: There is usually a rotating lineup of local food trucks or small bites for sale.

- Dress comfortably: You’ll be moving around, climbing stairs, and possibly crawling through tunnels (yes, really). Sneakers and casual wear are totally welcome.

- Make a night of it: The museum is just steps from downtown bars like Unknown Caller or Matilda Midnight if you want to keep the evening going. Or walk over to Easy Bistro or Old Gilman Grill for a late bite post-event.

- Photo-ready fun: Don’t miss the rooftop garden for golden hour views of downtown. It’s one of the most fun spots for quirky group shots.

- Holiday highlights: Special themed versions of Drink and Discover, like the Halloween or Valentine’s edition, tend to sell out faster. Check their instagram page to see if there is a theme!

Final Thoughts

Drink and Discover is a refreshing twist on a night out in Chattanooga. It’s lighthearted, a bit nostalgic, and offers something totally different from the usual bar or concert scene. Perfect for couples, friend groups, or anyone curious about the Creative Discovery Museum without the usual kid-centric chaos. You’ll leave with a few laughs, maybe a fun craft or souvenir, and hopefully a new appreciation for just how fun playing can be—no matter your age.

GOAT YOGA near Chattanooga and it was equal parts relaxing and ridiculously fun!

If you haven’t tried goat yoga yet, let me be the one to put it on your radar. We recently spent a sunny afternoon at Hixson Farms with Wild Roots Collective for a session that was equal parts relaxing, silly, and surprisingly great for bonding. Meg, the instructor, leads a well-paced class that welcomes all experience levels—meanwhile, baby goats wander in and out, climbing, cuddling, and stealing the show. Afterward, we stuck around to pet and feed the animals, which made the whole outing even more memorable. Whether you're planning a birthday, girls’ weekend, or just looking for something different around Chattanooga, this is one experience that’s absolutely worth booking.

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:

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:

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.
