Chattanooga's West Village neighborhood is about to get a taste of the Mediterranean. Santorini Spoon, a Greek frozen yogurt brand known for its tart, probiotic-rich yogurt, plans to open a new shop there in December 2026.
According to WhatNow, the planned opening fits into the West Village district, which includes restaurants, hotels, shopping and other neighborhood experiences, according to the development's website. The outlet reports that West Village announced Santorini Spoon's arrival in an Instagram post, though no exact street address or specific opening date for the new location has been provided.
A separate record may hint at where the shop could land. A Hamilton County business-license list for the week of Oct. 26-30, published by the Chattanooga Times Free Press, names a Santorini Spoon Greek Frozen Yogurt Bar at 214 W. Eighth St. in Chattanooga, with Ahmed Alshabibi listed on the license. It is not established whether that Eighth Street address is the same storefront planned for West Village.
What's in the Cup
Santorini Spoon's pitch centers on ingredients as much as location. Per the company's own site, its Santorini Spoon yogurt is made from specially selected kefir, live probiotic cultures, and milk, with all of the yogurts described as gluten free. The brand also says its milk comes from cows not treated with rBST and is fully pasteurized before use.
For those avoiding dairy altogether, the chain's fruit sorbets are billed as gluten free, fat free, and dairy free, the same website notes. Topping options run from classic to decidedly Greek, including baklava crumbs, pistachio chantilly cream, amarena cherries, chocolate sauce, Rocher, pomegranate, olive oil and sea salt flakes, along with granola, fresh fruit and nuts.
A Brand Built on European Flavor
The West Village location would mark an expansion for a brand that has framed itself as a bridge between continents. The company says on its site that it embarked on a journey to bring the authentic flavors of Europe to Southeast Tennessee, drawing inspiration from Mediterranean food traditions.
With the business-license filing already on record and the neighborhood's own announcement teasing the shop's arrival, Santorini Spoon appears to be laying groundwork for its December debut even as the finer details of address and timing remain unconfirmed.
