My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
When I travel and have to get up early, I always look for a unique coffee shop along the way. Sure, I could go to a drive-thru and buy the same cup of coffee I have always had, but there is just something special about a local coffee shop. It might have something to do with the vibe, or the romantic idea of starting your morning with one of a kind type of drink, but the appeal is undeniable. The Coffee Company in Elizabethton, Tennessee, is a local coffee shop that you may not have heard of before, but chances are that will all be changing very soon because the secret is out and people love this place.
Located in the heart and soul of downtown Elizabethton, a little hanging sign will let you know you are seconds away from amazing coffee.
Elizabethton is, of course, a darling downtown that seems frozen in time. Strolling the sidewalks and seeing the old signs above each business gives you a feel for what it would have looked like decades ago -- and not much has changed. That isn’t a bad thing because what it gives is a retro and hip vibe welcoming to the likes of people who would arrive at such a coffee shop as this.
As I alluded to earlier the secret is out on this little shop.
The local news has taken notice of this tiny little cafe, and wanted to know what makes this little place so highly sought after. I can tell you from experience that the coffee is simply delicious -- but that is not the only reason people have been flocking to this location.

The fresh smell of brewing coffee will greet you as you enter the store and many flavors await you.
Get a classic drip coffee then mix and match to your heart's desire when it comes to the menu. Find the perfect blend or defer to the baristas to tell you the best concoction. Make sure to check out whatever their seasonal specials are for a unique treat, too.
Like any good local coffee shop, you will find a variety of pastries and breakfast items to start your day off right. Indulge in a warm cinnamon roll, or take your time with a croissant egg, sausage, and cheddar sandwich. Mmm!
You might be bringing your laptop to just sit and work for a while, or chat it up with the locals. Either way, you should embrace Tennessee culture and not be in a rush to leave! The Coffee Company does a good job of creating a space for that to happen organically. When the weather is nice, the patio space will be full of those who just want to take in the beauty all while sipping the best coffee in town.
There is a local joke that the business should change its name to The Lunch Company because they have amassed quite a following around lunchtime.
Folks love to stop in for an afternoon pick-up with delicious sandwiches and great drinks. When it comes to a quick bite to eat, it may be tough to find a better place and one of the many reasons this place has been showing up on more and more people's radars. Come for breakfast or lunch, but you are sure to walk away with a delicious experience.
You might not have ever heard of The Coffee Company in Elizabethton, TN, but the word is out and I suggest you make your way into town and find this incredible local gem! They also sell their coffee for you to take home in a bag to brew yourself. I remember the day my bag ran out at home and I would be lying if I said it didn’t make me shed a tear, or at least want to.
