As remote work has become a norm today, more and more professionals are seeking out the perfect spots to set up their laptops and get down to business. Chattanooga is a city that embraces the remote work lifestyle. Landing second place nationally (right behind Boise) for remote work didn't happen by accident. Our Gig City's blazing-fast internet and welcoming spaces have turned us into the Southeast's remote work capital. So, we decided to make a list with some of the best places to work remotely in Chattanooga. Let's walk you through our favorite spots where the magic happens.
If you're looking for a cozy and inviting atmosphere, Rembrandt's Coffee House is the perfect spot. We've spent more mornings than we can count in this Art District gem. With its warm lighting, comfortable seating, and delicious coffee, this cafe provides a welcoming environment for remote workers. Plus, their menu features a variety of tasty snacks and light meals to keep you fueled and focused. Pro tip: their almond croissants are literally life-changing - perfect for that mid-morning motivation boost!
Located in the heart of the Southside, Niedlov's offers more than just their famous artisanal bread. The cafe's industrial-chic setting, complete with exposed brick walls and plenty of natural light, creates an ideal workspace atmosphere. Their reliable WiFi and abundance of power outlets make it a practical choice for remote workers. Try to arrive before the lunch rush to secure a prime spot. Their breakfast sandwich on housemade sourdough is worth waking up early for
Perched on Chattanooga's North Shore, Stone Cup offers one of the best views of the Tennessee River and Walnut Street Bridge. The two-story setup provides different working environments - the upstairs tends to be quieter and better suited for focused work, while the downstairs has more of a social buzz. Their patio is a hidden gem for outdoor working sessions, weather permitting.
With three locations, Mean Mug has established itself as a remote worker's haven. The spacious layout ensures you won't feel cramped, and their commitment to supporting local artists means you'll be working surrounded by rotating art exhibitions. Their cold brew is among the best in town, and they offer gluten-free options. The North Shore location's back patio is particularly lovely for those who prefer working outdoors.
Tucked away in the heart of the Innovation District, Cadence has become our go-to spot when we need to hunker down for some serious work time. The WiFi here is as reliable as their espresso shots (which, trust us, is saying something), and they've mastered that tricky balance between "lively enough to keep you awake" and "quiet enough to focus."
This North Shore favorite stands out for its minimalist design and distraction-free environment. The large windows provide excellent natural lighting, and their custom-built tables are perfectly sized for laptops and notebooks. Their specialty coffee drinks and rotating selection of local pastries keep regulars coming back.
Look, we know what you're thinking - a chain? In a city full of craft coffee spots? But hear us out. Peet's has quietly become one of our reliable remote work spots. What makes Peet's work-friendly? First off, their WiFi. We've never had to do the frustrating reconnect dance here. The seating is actually designed for people who plan to stay a while - proper table height, comfortable chairs, and enough space to spread out your laptop, notes, and that emergency chocolate bar.
Society of Work
Society of Work is a premier coworking space located in the heart of downtown Chattanooga (there is also a Northshore location). This modern and sleek workspace offers a variety of membership options. The space features high-speed internet, ergonomic furniture, and a range of amenities, including conference rooms and phone booths. Society of Work also hosts regular networking events and workshops, providing opportunities to connect with other professionals and learn new skills.
The Edney Innovation Center
We like to call this the "startup heartbeat" of Chattanooga. Beyond the sleek workspaces and meeting rooms, there's an energy here that's contagious. It's a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship in Chattanooga. It offers a range of workspaces, from open coworking areas to private offices. The Edney also hosts regular events, workshops, and mentorship programs, providing valuable opportunities for growth and networking.
Hold onto your laptops, folks, because The Edney is about to get even better! We're talking about a complete makeover that would make any HGTV show proud - from a sleek new lobby with smart security features to a game-changing rooftop patio with views that'll make your Zoom backgrounds jealous.
Chattanooga Public Library - Downtown Branch
It is a hidden gem for remote workers. This spacious library offers a variety of workspaces, from quiet study areas to collaborative meeting rooms. The library provides free Wi-Fi, plenty of outlets, and access to a wide range of resources, including books, periodicals, and online databases. The Downtown Branch also features a cafe, making it easy to grab a coffee or snack while you work.
Northgate Public Library
When we need to escape the downtown buzz, Northgate is our sanctuary. It's got that perfect library quietness without feeling stuffy. This cozy library offers a range of workspaces, from individual study carrels to comfortable armchairs, providing the perfect setting for focused work. The library also provides free Wi-Fi, printing facilities, and access to a wide range of resources.
