The Lead Story Cambridge Square

Coffee Worth Rising For, Now Pouring at Cambridge Square

By the Proprietors · Ooltewah, Tennessee

Coffee is more than just a drink, it is an experience that ignites the senses and fuels the soul. That conviction is set in type on everything we pour at Morning Brew Co., a specialty coffee shop and bakery keeping warm hours in Cambridge Square. The counter carries specialty coffee, teas, matcha and seasonal refreshers; the oven sends out croissants, danishes, scones and cookies; the griddle folds European crepes to order while you watch.

The whole bill of fare can be brought to your door as easily as it is carried to a table. The paper you are holding will tell you everything else worth knowing.

Section Three · From the Oven

House-Made Pastries, Reported Hot

Butter is the whole story here. Croissants are laminated and rested, danishes take whatever fruit the season offers, scones arrive with a proper crumb, and the cookies bake in short, serious batches. All of it is made in our own kitchen, and none of it is built to last past noon.

  • Butter Croissant 4.00
  • Almond Croissant 4.75
  • Seasonal Danish 4.50
  • Buttermilk Scone 3.75
  • Morning Bun 4.25

When the tray is empty, the oven sets the terms for tomorrow.

Section Four · The Twin Dispatches

From the Griddle and the Boiler

Two urgent reports, filed from opposite ends of the counter.

Dispatch the First

European Crepes

Made to order in the European manner: thin, tender and folded while you watch, which is half the pleasure. Sweet or savory, the batter does not discriminate.

  • Lemon and Sugar 8.00
  • Strawberries and Cream 9.50
  • Nutella and Banana 9.00
  • Ham and Gruyere 10.50

    Savory, in the French manner.

Dispatch the Second

Bagels, Dressed Properly

Boiled first, baked after, dressed without restraint. Hot honey over prosciutto, smoked salmon with the trimmings, or the breakfast order that simply works.

  • Hot Honey Prosciutto 9.50

    The loud one.

  • Smoked Salmon 11.00

    The elegant one.

  • The Breakfast Bagel 8.50

    Egg, cheese and your choice of morning.

Section Five · Our House

The House on Cambridge Square

An account of the room, the corner and the people who keep the kettles going.

Morning Brew Co. keeps a simple house: warm cups, warm plates and a room where you can hear your own thoughts arrive. We opened in Cambridge Square with the firm opinion that the first hour of the day deserves the best of it, and we have been acting on that opinion every morning since.

Come for the coffee and let the rest happen naturally. The grinder starts before the lights finish warming up, the pastry tray lands a little after, and the crepe griddle hums straight through the lunch hour. Weekdays we hold the door from seven in the morning until seven at night; weekends we keep gentler hours, eight to four. Leave with a cookie for the road. The welcome is standing.
