Recently rebranded as Ugly Mug, this cozy neighborhood coffee spot appears to have changed its…read morename, though the motivation behind the shift isn't immediately clear. What is clear is that the quality remains firmly intact. The coffee is excellent--well-crafted, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Just as important, the atmosphere is warm and genuinely family-friendly, the kind of place that welcomes regulars, kids, and casual drop-ins without trying too hard to be trendy. Name changes can sometimes signal growing pains or reinvention, but in this case, the fundamentals are strong. Ugly Mug succeeds where it matters most: serving quality coffee in a comfortable, approachable setting that feels like a true local staple.

While in Knoxville we found this cute coffee shop tucking into a small plaza. I love that it was…read moresuper easy to get to. Plus they had ample parking. Side note the walk up window was so cute. Immediately upon walking in I was in awe. The attention to detail in this shop was top tier design. The ladies working when we went were so sweet and very helpful. I also really love the swag that they have. I am kicking myself for not buying the denim hat! Now onto the coffee. I tried the Blueberry Crisp Latte. The notes of the blueberry were good. Not overpowering and just the right bit of top and bottom. I love to taste the flavor as a finishing note as well. My daughter had a Vanilla Frappe which she enjoyed. I definitely will return whenever I am in Knoxville.

A quiet hidden gem that understands the power of simplicity done well. The coffee program here is…read moreconfident and unfussy, the kind that doesn't need theatrics to make its point. I ordered a café au lait, and it delivered exactly what it should: bold, full-bodied coffee balanced by smooth, well-steamed milk. The result was rich without being heavy, strong without tipping into bitterness. This is the sort of place where coffee is treated as a craft rather than a trend--no shortcuts, no distractions, just a well-executed cup that lingers pleasantly and invites you to slow down. A destination worth seeking out for anyone who appreciates coffee with backbone and character.

Cute little shop with a good mission. We got the Italian sandwich and the turkey bacon avocado…read moresandwich. The chipotle turkey one was absolutely delicious! The Italian was good but it was served cold and that's not great for ciabatta bread since it's so dense. It was a lot of chewing. They added balsamic which was a nice touch. The chips on one plate were stale but the other plate's were fresh. I liked the addition of the pickles. Staff was friendly. I liked the games available for patrons to play. If I came back I would probably just get the chipotle turkey sandwich.

Definitely worth the moderate drive to try some of the best Indian flavors in the area. The…read morerestaurant is unassumingly attached to a gas station, but don't let that deter you! Hands down the best Indian food I've had in the Knox County surrounding area. 1 dish is enough to feed 2-3 people - and I wanted to try multiple dishes, so I definitely had to ask for takeout containers and even then I had lunch and dinner for the next couple days covered! I went during dinner hours, but they do offer a buffet everyday from 11am to 3pm - which I will try next time to try more flavors at an even more affordable cost. Food did not come out extremely fast - so a good sign that it is freshly made to order and not just reheated frozen sauces with protein thrown in. The kababs came out sizzling and biryani came out steaming! The lamb was not gamey at all. The hospitality was quick and pleasant also!

We picked this spot specifically because they cook with ghee--and let me just say, that decision…read morepaid OFF. We came for the lunch buffet, and I'm still thinking about it. Every dish was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Indian food can be hit or miss sometimes, but this place? Oh, it's a solid HIT. The atmosphere is spotless and inviting (which matters more than people admit), and the staff? Top tier. Super kind, attentive without hovering, and quick to bring anything we needed before we even had to ask. Honestly, this is the kind of place that ruins other Indian spots for you--in the best way. Safe to say, I'll absolutely be back... probably sooner than I should be.

I've been a faithful fan of Dunks for years... that is until I moved from MA to TN 16 years ago…read more Today I wanted a simple Caramel Iced coffee. I ordered then drove up to the window. The woman at the window had a death grip on the card reader, I was forced to practically climb out my window to put my card in. No apologies from this disheveled looking older woman. The "coffee" she tried handing to me was definitely not right. It had an orange tint with cold foam. She took it back and apparently just scooped the foam off then tried handing it back to me. I declined and proceeded to 7 brew where customer service it top notch, the coffee is not watered down and you receive what you ordered. To my astonishment, she is the manager. There seems to not be much traffic at this location which Im sure is due to crappy management. Do better less you lose even more customers.

Honeybee is a great spot to study and gather with friends. The space is open and even has an…read moreoutdoor space option. The bar seating is nice if you like to stand while studying as well. The staff is great. They are super nice & pretty fast. The espresso is delicious. Though, I must admit that the flavor is diluted as a latte. I recommend an iced cappuccino if you prefer a coffee forward drink. I love it with the brown sugar syrup! I like trying the seasonal flavors, especially since they make syrups in house. My favorite right now (spring 2026) is the banana bread latte. Parking does get tight during peak hours, but something always opens up or you could try the neighboring lots if you're doing a quick stop.

I came here twice in one weekend with some friends while we were visiting Knoxville. What drew me…read morein was the great matcha reviews and the house made syrups. The first day we came, the girls behind the counter weren't very nice. Well one of them was, the other wasn't very nice to me and I was kind of taking a minute to think. I wanted their strawberry matcha but they were out of strawberry (so sad). I got a brown sugar cortado instead and two bags of coffee for home. I also wanted a sticker but they were out. The cortado was delicious. Very good drink. My friend got a BOAT (brown sugar oatmilk latte) and that was also very good. I ordered a honey lavender matcha after and that was also very good! Great color on it! The next day we came & two guys were working the counter. They were nicer for whatever reason. I order another cortado. I also ordered first in my group and they actually forgot about my drink. The guy was super apologetic about it and we had a good laugh! I love cafe culture and this place has all the vibes with the really good coffee too! Just upset that they were out of strawberry and stickers

My husband ordered Red Bull infusion and a ham and cheddar sandwich that was HUGE! They do not hold out on the meat on the sandwiches. We had a great experience and will definitely go back when we are in Loudon!!
