Last week marked National Small Business Week, and we asked folks to tell us their favorite places in Chattanooga. You did not disappoint — with nearly 500 comments, the local love was felt everywhere in the Scenic City.

We wanted to share a few that seemed to get the most tags — but don’t fret, this won’t be the last time we spotlight the businesses shared in our post. In the meantime, check out these beloved spots.

Naughty Cat Café | 3742 Tennessee Ave. | Show some kitties love while sipping on a complimentary drink — you might meet your fur-ever friend.

Eros Hat Co. | 45 E. Main St. | Try out this spot’s custom hats + permanent jewelry experience.

I Go Tokyo | 34 Frazier Ave. | Purchase high-quality Japanese linens, ceramics, and more.

Cocoa Asante | Online + pop-ups | Enjoy the delicious taste of these sustainably-made chocolates that recently went viral on TikTok.
