A huge rainstorm blew in as I drove over and so I entered quite literally with a clap of thunder. It was scary! I made a joke about getting struck by lightning to defuse the tension and the two employees and the couple guests in the space looked at me like I'd grown three heads and said nothing. This frosty reception continued as I looked at the menu, asked a question, and placed my order. Not the most welcoming staff. The atmosphere otherwise is very nice! Love the decor and the welcoming art and signs. Seems like a great place to get some work done. There's a small library where you can grab a book to read too. There's pastries and baked goods for sale and maybe a few other things to eat; I was stuffed from lunch so didn't pay too close attention. I asked a staff member which of two specialty lattes she liked better; she flatly told me she hadn't tried the "Easley" but that the "Swann" was their best seller. I chose that. It had white chocolate and caramel; I declined the whipped cream on top and got it iced. It was a really good coffee drink! Super pale blonde in color and very sweet...but that's how I like my sugar - er, coffee. It was a nice dessert/energizer combo and I enjoyed it a lot! Would ultimately recommend for vibes and a tasty treat.

Right now, I'm in love with their Iced Vanilla Chai Tea topped with Lavender Cold Foam--it's simply delicious! The wait isn't ever too long, and the prices are just right.

Maple Avenue Coffee House is a winner. The staff are some of the friendliest people you'll…read moremeet--welcoming, helpful, and genuinely kind. It's the kind of place where you walk in once and feel like a regular. The atmosphere is super cozy and well put together. Comfortable seating, and a great layout whether you're just grabbing a drink or planning to stay a while. Using it as a work spot, it's perfect--quiet enough to focus, but still has a nice energy to it. Also, the music they play is spot-on--relaxing and chill, but never distracting. It really helps set the tone for the space. Overall, Maple Avenue Coffee House is the combination of great people, great vibes, and great coffee. Highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing place to work or unwind!

The interior is decorated really nicely, kind of cool and funky vibes with a surprising amount of space available to hang out. Cute merchandise for sale too. I had a little bit of trouble finding the menu but eventually found it on a paper card placed somewhat inconspicuously near the register. I was only interested in coffee but they have a decent selection of cafe-type food and other beverages. They have seasonal specials and more standard, always-available house specials. I selected one of these and got a small iced Turtle latte, which had chocolate, caramel, and praline flavors. I thought service was a little standoffish and put-upon seeming, but I wouldn't say they were rude; just not super welcoming. My drink was made and served quickly and I got back on the road. The drink was good! Nice balance of ice to liquid and a yummy, sweet, rich turtle flavor. There was a slight artificially nutty aftertaste that I'd guess was the praline that I didn't love, but overall this was a solid drink that I'd probably order again. Give them a try if you're in the area.

We decided to give Karma's Coffee another shot, but unfortunately, it was pretty much the same as…read morebefore. The staff still seemed irritable and not friendly, which again made us feel more like an inconvenience than customers. We had to ask multiple times about our drinks and food, which was frustrating. Again, the HIGH prices... On the bright side, there's a nice bookish vibe that gives it that cozy feel. With the exposed bricks/ductwork, mismatched secondhand furniture, and a small selection of books, it does seem like a good spot to relax and chat with friends... Still, I'll be looking for a different coffee place next time! Somewhere the employees attitudes match the chill atmosphere.

There are comfortable couches as well as tables and chairs. There are multiple rooms with bookcases and books for customers to peruse while getting their java fix. The people who were working Thursday when we stopped in were so nice. I told the woman at the register that I'd never been there before. I asked her to pick her favorite coffee and snack for me. She asked me a few key questions and chose the most delicious and perfect things! I couldn't have chosen better myself. The honey vanilla latte and cinnamon roll with cream cheese was amazing! My husband got an iced Chai drink with a pump of vanilla. The Chai served here is locally sourced from a family in Blount County and you can definitely tell its fresh. His was quite possibly the best drink I've ever had in my life. They sell reasonably priced tshirts, sweatshirts, coffee mugs, whole coffee beans, ground coffee, tea, and homemade candles that smell like their coffee flavors! They offer special date nights, classes on roasting coffee, book club, pop up shops, etc. See photos for times and dates of the Barking Bee After Dark events.

They also roast all of their beans in house. Their merch was also well done with multiple shirt options, mugs, fresh beans and more. Most important, the staff were extremely friendly and so helpful.
