I visited Cryptid Cafe on a road trip across the country, I saw the sign and simply had to stop. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was delicious. I ordered a sandwich and the chef came to me and said they had bacon, but not quite enough- and offered me a partial refund. Incredibly kind, accommodating staff with a fun theme- I am so glad I got to stop at this wonderful place!

I couldn’t give it 5 stars because they didn’t have much vegan options however their customer service was worth the experience ! I got some potatoes with veggies and a their Godzilla drink which tasted amazing ! They also offer free wifi, it comes in handy when getting school/work things done. There food was fresh, full of flavor, and affordable. Will definitely visit again !Dietary restrictions: They will accommodate to vegans

Such an amazing gem in the middle of rural Tennessee! Cryptid Cafe offers amazing breakfast and lunch fare and a huge selection of tasty coffee and tea based beverages. Their play on Bagels (technically “baguelette”) and Lox (yes, they have it) was delicious as was the French Toast made with locally made bread.The vibe is so much fun! They have fun decor and that plays on the popular mythical creatures. This is also shown on the menu and drinks list.We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area. ❤️🌈

This place is just wonderful! My wife and I came to the getaway campground in Moss, TN and discovered this little cafe. The food is absolutely phenomenal, the owners are super nice and all the staff too, everyone is friendly and welcoming!My wife and I live closer to a couple other getaway campgrounds, but we always come to the one in Moss, TN JUST so that we can eat here for breakfast as many times as we are able. Ever since we discovered this place we have not bothered to try any other nearby food (in Moss and Celina) or go to any other getaway campground!Wish we could eat here more often, but we are always very excited to when we come here 😊

I had the pleasure of visiting a cafe that surpassed all my expectations. As soon as I entered, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The friendly and patient staff added to the welcoming environment.But the highlight of my experience was the exceptionally tasty food. We started with the Selkie iced coffee (March special) and was impressed by its unique blend of flavors. The Campfire Stories latte was equally impressive, with its subtle chocolatiness and rich texture all accompanied by beignets with a chocolate dip. These sweet and tasty pastries were wonderful.For my meal, I opted for the Beast omelet, which was stuffed with savory bacon, peppers, mushrooms, sausage, and cheddar cheese. We also got a chicken provolone panini, which was equally delectable, with its perfectly cooked chicken and melted provolone cheese. The homefries that accompanied the panini were crispy and flavorful. A dash of salt (sea salt would be even better) made these homefries the perfect side with the panini.Despite the bathroom being located outside around the corner, it was clean and well-maintained. The decor and attention to detail throughout the cafe were pressive, and it was evident that the owners took great pride in their establishment.Overall, I highly recommend this cafe to anyone who appreciates great food, coffee, and a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was all exceptional. The staff were wonderful people, and I left feeling grateful for such a memorable experience.

What a fun café! Included in the decor are posters of various cryptids- Mothman, Chupacabra, Nessy… Regardless of what you believe about them, what you may find unbelievable is the selection of specialty drinks and delicious menu items. The Rougarou coffee with its kick of cayenne and a plate of the biggest, tastiest beignets with a chocolate dipping sauce, not to mention the satisfying BLT, were out of this world! The owners and staff were so friendly and welcoming. Truly a gem you won’t want to miss in scenic Moss, TN.

What a great place! My husband and I were staying at a cabin nearby but we wanted to watch the World Cup final, so he called in advance to check if it’d be possible to do that, and they said though they didn’t have TVs we were welcome to bring our computer and watch it. I’m so glad we did! Watching the game was fun, but the food and service just made it all the better! They have a great menu and the breakfast food is delicious, so much so that we came back for breakfast the next day. I made sure to try the coffee this time and it was so good! Make sure to try their homefries, they’re amazing!Husband and I both agree that if we’re ever in Tennessee again, even if it’s a couple hours away, we’ll make the detour to come here again lolKid-friendliness: They have an area with toys for the kiddos, crayons on the tables, and books too.

This place is absolutely fantastic. I drove by it on my way to my campsite and turned around because of the sign (my curiosity was definitely interested!).The husband and wife who own the place were incredibly friendly, and knew so much about the local cryptid lore and the natural awesomeness of the area. They didn’t hesitate to fill me in on places to hike and fun places to explore. Truly a wonderful experience.My Bigfoot iced coffee drink (with oat milk) was my favorite coffee drink that I’ve had in a long time. I will definitely visit again and will spread the word about this place to everyone I know. Hands down the coolest spot I’ve been in quite a while!

Stopped in after checking out of our cabin on a girl's trip. The staff was amazing. A gentleman in the back and 2 girls who looked like sisters. THEY WERE AWESOME! The owners should feel good about having such a great staff! Super friendly and just got really good vibes from them! The cafe was super cute inside. The coffee was DELICIOUS as well as the parfait I had. If I ever go back to this area in Tennessee this spot will be a must! I have written about 2 reviews my whole life but felt writing a review for this place was a must! I see why the getaway cabins recommends this spot!

This place is a real gem in the rough. Whether you want to read a book, play a game of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, or sit in the corner and relax, this place has the best atmosphere and food for within at least 30 miles. With drinks named after oddball cryptids, you know you're in for a real food adventure. I highly recommend stopping by and having lunch here. I can only imagine how good their breakfast is!

On our Getaway, looking for a nice spot to get breakfast, and stumbled upon Cryptid! The food was amazing and FRESH! (The yogurt parfait granola was the best i’ve ever had, not exaggerating!) the owners are the sweetest pair, the coffee was delicious, and the decorations were so cute. We need a place like this in Atlanta! Very welcoming and family friendly environment. Will definitely come again if we have the opportunity!Parking: Great parking!Kid-friendliness: Toys & coloring for kids!

It is unfortunate that I have to write this review. It is also unfortunate that a restaurant that I was looking forward to did not meet up to my expectations. This cafe is an hour+ drive for me and it was in long anticipation for the family to take a drive completely out of the way to visit after becoming a fan of the FB page for so long. The coffee was great, but the food was lack luster. We stopped by for breakfast and got two menu items, the beast omelette and the loaded home fries with an over medium egg. The omelette was over cooked that the eggs became crunchy and my over medium egg was over cooked as well. We were not expecting French omelette level expertise but some care could’ve been shown to make it more edible and if I’m going to be served a fully cooked egg why ask how I wanted me egg to begin with? The place was packed and we had already waited for a decent amount of time to get our food that we didn’t ask for a remake. Needless to say we won’t be making the trip back out.

Best breakfast and coffee I've ever had! The service was very friendly. Very diverse menu, especially of drinks, food was delicious. The chicken and waffles are a must-have for breakfast. Perfect for a family or group of friends.

We finally had a chance to stop in, and we are so glad we did! My husband and I tried the Clay County Cubano and the iced Chai for drinks and the beignets for a special brealfast treat. All items were fabulous! The owners take pride in their drinks and food items, and they also put so much thought and love into it all. Cozy atmosphere. We will definitely be back soon!

This place was so cute and the owners were very friendly. We saw the sign and had to stop. I was surprised by the large selection of coffee options and was able to get a great mocha. We plan to camp locally and stop back by in the future.
