Aretha Frankensteins is a gem of a breakfast spot in Chattanooga! 🌟 I arrived around noon and was pleasantly surprised by the cozy, trendy decor - so many cool vintage items on the walls to admire while waiting. We indulged in the thickest pancakes with blueberry butter, and they were heavenly! The service was fast despite a bit of a weekend wait - about 30 minutes, but definitely worth it.

Don’t miss the breakfast potatoes; they were a delightful side to my Italian omelette. Overall, a lovely experience, and I can't wait to return! 🥞
