Stirling's Coffee House - Sewanee

More than a coffee house, Stirling 's offers a selection of breakfast items, salads, and sandwiches, along with ice cream in the cooler and fresh baked treats to have for dessert. They have a selection of cold beverages from Izze to aloe water to Yerba Mate. Enjoy your meal inside the converted house, or outside on their back porch, front yard or backyard picnic tables. Being on a college campus, the vibe is friendly, welcoming, and super casual. Even if you 're not already on campus, it 's worth a visit especially if you prefer vegan food. I 'm not used to having multiple options, but here vegans plant based eaters can choose breakfast sandwiches with vegan sausage and vegan cream cheese; vegan Mediterranean chickpea salad or sandwich, vegan chicken salad or sandwich, and more. I 'm not used to being overwhelmed with vegan possibilities in rural Tennessee, but wow how refreshing! I opted for the generous vegan chicken salad sandwich (soy based) which came served on a fresh, crusty but soft baguette with some butter lettuce on the sandwich. So good and satisfying to get me through a hike around the domain. Yes, it 's a college place. But if you happen to be driving through the area on interstate 24, it 's worth the few extra miles to seek it out. And if you 're a Sewanee parent, like I am, it 's a nice alternative to fast food in Monteagle when you 're dropping off or visiting your kid. Give your student a few extra to pop by here on the way to class for a coffee. I hear it 's really good here too!

Cute coffee shop with fun drink options. Their menu looked delicious, but we did not get food. The Black Bear Latte was delicious! Chai latte didn't taste like chai, but flavor was still pretty good. Staff were courteous enough. Atmosphere was very chill with many seating options, and even a dog-friendly patio! Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5

My daughter loves going there before classes and we enjoyed our time with her there this week. Great atmosphere, service and food. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My fiancé and I are in the area from Michigan for a concert at the caverns. We needed a minimal fuss but not greasy breakfast spot and this place was exactly that. Menu had a solid selection of fresh and unique items. I went simple and got a breakfast sandwich w/ bacon on a croissant, it was delightful.. My man got the Dimmick Day, the Basil oil leveled it up from just a regular club and was sooo good. Coffee is good too!! Prices are honestly great compared to back home and vibes were on point. 10/10 recommend
