Signal Mountain now has a new spot to grab a bite and a beer – and soon, to get a glass of wine as well.
The business isn’t new; Mayfly Coffee first opened its doors as a cafe in 2015, and has been selling its locally roasted coffee at area farmers markets for about five years.
In fact, Mayfly is planning a five-year anniversary celebration at its recently renovated cafe to be held near the end of this month, though the exact date has not yet been set.
Mayfly Coffee General Manager Brianna Garriss and owner Atley Davidson sit on the Signal Mountain coffee shop’s new patio.The cafe’s exterior is the only thing older customers will recognize since Mayfly reopened in June. With the addition of a kitchen, Mayfly now offers a simple menu of pastries baked in-house along with made-to-order paninis. Owner Atley Davidson said he plans to expand the menu soon to include small plates and shareables in the evenings, eventually adding soups and salads as well.
Along with food, Mayfly began offering beer from local breweries such as Hutton & Smith, Heaven & Ale and OddStory with the opening of its renovated space. The business has also started the permitting process to serve wine, said Davidson.
