My friend's blueberry bourbon nitro smelled incredible and tasted just as good. I was surprised that they serve hot nitro too, and alcoholic drinks. I got a matcha latte and the whisking was done perfectly and professionally. I'm obsessed with their commitment to all natural ingredients, no sweeteners or artificial flavors. I would love to come back and try their espresso martini or masala chai with a pastry next time.

I loved the foam that comes with nitro--lends to a smooth finish & pleasant mouthfeel. Next time, I would probably get half sweet, but I still enjoyed it. The service was great, too. The barista was super helpful & friendly. I wish I caught her name! The space was great for hanging out with friends & doing laptop work. A bit loud though to study or do deep work. All in all, I'd love to come back!

Super well-balanced and felt like a really elevated coffee experience. Seating isn't the most comfortable, so maybe not a long hang spot, but the coffee alone makes it worth it. Definitely coming back.

I've really enjoyed Primo Passo! It's a bit pricier than some of the other coffee shops in…read moreKnoxville, but it's worth it! My favorite is the hazelnut latte, nutty and slightly sweet. My friends got matcha and the vanilla latte, both were yummy! They make their own syrups, which I've found to be unique in the area. The owner and baristas are nice & very helpful in deciding what to order. Inside is also suited for studying and catching up with friends. But, make sure to bring headphones for when the shop gets busy. There is free parking in the back & the surrounding neighborhood is cute. It's suitable for walking and maybe you'll run into cute doggies playing in the park. All in all, I highly recommend!

The atmosphere is bright, welcoming, and relaxing, with soaring vaulted ceilings, a gorgeous stone fireplace, plenty of natural light, and air conditioning that makes it the perfect place to escape the Tennessee heat. They even have a covered porch with fans and café lighting if you'd rather enjoy your coffee outside. The beachy Hawaiian vibe is unlike anything else around. It's peaceful, inviting, and a wonderful place to study, catch up with friends, work remotely, or simply unwind with a great cup of coffee. The coffee is outstanding. Mahalo roasts their own beans, and you can absolutely taste the difference. Every cup is smooth, rich, and full of flavor. My favorite is the decaf, which has delicious notes of cocoa and toasted marshmallow, but I've enjoyed several of their regular coffees too. They also offer great milk options, including Califia Farms almond and oat milk, along with traditional milk, cream, and other alternatives. The drive-thru is quick and convenient, making it easy to grab a coffee on the go, but I highly recommend spending a little time inside because the space is so inviting. Their merchandise is also adorable! The shirts, hats, mugs, and bags of freshly roasted coffee make it hard to leave without taking something home. If you're anywhere near Knoxville and looking for an incredible local coffee shop, Mahalo Coffee is absolutely worth the stop. Between the exceptional coffee, beautiful space, amazing staff, and genuine hospitality, it's the kind of place you'll want to visit again and again. Mahalo truly brings a little slice of Hawaii to East Tennessee. Highly recommend!

It wasn't as sweet as I expected (like if you order at Starbucks for eg) but the ambiance inside is excellent - they have tables and regular chairs but also couches and big soft chairs. I sat in a big soft chair and was very comfortable! They also have two clean bathrooms, i changed in there after hiking. There weren't enough hanging pegs but they were spacious so still good enough. The staff up front were quick and helpful! No trouble there. And there were a decent number of parking spots out back - that said, by the time I left, the lot was completely full. Not sure where else you could park in the area. Overall, if passing and needing a rest I would rec this spot! But I would try ordering something else besides a London fog ;)

What is clear is that the quality remains firmly intact. The coffee is excellent--well-crafted, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

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.
