The Jittery Biscuit
About This Spot
Stepping into The Jittery Biscuit in Johnson City feels a bit like walking into a friend’s warmly lit kitchen on a slow, lazy morning. The atmosphere hums with a gentle energy—a comforting mix of neighborhood chatter, the hiss of the coffee machine, and the soft clatter of plates. It’s the kind of place where time slows enough for you to catch your breath, whether you’re stopping by for a quick caffeine fix or settling in for a brunch that stretches into the early afternoon.
The pace here respects the unhurried rhythm of mornings spent savoring simple pleasures. Behind the counter, baristas craft thoughtful lattes and a variety of inventive energy drinks that invite you to linger a little longer, exploring familiar flavors with unexpected twists. The smell of freshly baked biscuits lingers in the air, setting the stage for a menu that feels at once comforting and adventurous—think rich, buttery biscuits that cradle savory fillings or sweet toppings that feel like a subtle nod to home recipes.
There’s a genuine warmth in how the space embraces the locals and visitors alike. It’s the kind of spot where regulars’ stories become woven into the fabric of the place, and the friendliness of the staff makes you feel seen beyond just your order. It’s not a hurried grab-and-go; it’s a small pause in the day, a moment to reconnect with both the flavors and the people around you.

This place is delicious and I love their support of veterans. I have enjoyed everything I've tried from the menu - probably too much! It can occasionally take some time to order and receive food & drink, but that's because of its popularity. So just plan ahead (or order online) if you are headed to work or have a tight time-line. Again, that's just because it's a busy place at times (because it's so awesome!). Staff work hard & are really polite.

Biscuits so good they’ll remind you of home. Iced coffee was the Cinn Toast Crunch - new favorite drink! Snagged the famous lemon blueberry cookies too! Can’t wait to come back

AMAZING biscuits. Gooey cinnamon rolls that are a taste of heaven. Avacado toast is savory and delightful served on fresh sourdough bread and seasoned to perfection. The service was super friendly and quick. The environment is quaint and pleasant. Like being at someone's home for brunch. They serve breakfast until 2pm, which is a winner for all those desiring a leisurely Saturday morning.

A nice neighborhood spot for brunch! We actually went because our AirBnB left us a gift card for the place, but we left very happy! The biscuits are buttery and soft, so it makes the biscuit sandwiches a really nice experience texture wise. The staff were also very friendly. I appreciated the neighborhood feel

The iced vanilla latte and the dirty biscuit was delicious. You can tell the biscuits are made from scratch. Everyone was very nice and one women even kept me from falling on my butt. 10/10. Glad to hear they're moving to a bigger space it's much deserved.

As an avid lover of biscuits and gravy I can confidently say this is one of the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot). Both the biscuits and the gravy were divine. The gravy has such a depth of flavor and richness with a perfect touch of spice. So good! I also got a Cinnamon Toast Crunch cold brew and it’s one of the best coffees I’ve had in a while! I was a little disappointed they didn’t have public WiFi so I could sit and work remote in their cute little cafe since I had driven in from Dripping to check it out. Nonetheless, this place is a hidden gem!

Stopped on our way out of town for a cup of coffee and biscuit sandwich and we were blown away by this place. The sandwich tastes like something from home and the coffees were perfectly made!
