What a great coffee and tea bar addition to Harding Valley. I love the fact that you can sample their tap-served nitro, especially those made with bourbon barrel roasted beans. 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. read more

Intrepid Nitro Coffee and Tea Bar - Like their vibe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

I really liked Intrepid! The decaf coffee nitro paired really well with maple syrup & the french vanilla tea went nicely with the honey. 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! read more

As someone who loves exploring coffee shops in every city I visit, I was excited to stumble upon this unique nitro coffee and tea spot--it was a refreshing change from the usual cafés. The entire menu is served on nitro, which gives the drinks an incredibly smooth, creamy texture that really enhances the natural flavors. We ordered a flight of four different coffees, plus a banana bread chai tea. The standouts for us were the Peanut Butter Bourbon and the Bali--absolutely delicious! Fearless and Tiger Nebula were also great and offered some fun, bold flavors. If you're into creative, high-quality coffee and tea with a twist, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Given the high reviews, I was worried this cafe would be busy. There were people there, but I didn't have to wait. It was a strange experience where I ordered at a register and a price was flashed in front of me, but the transaction wasn't completed, so I ended up unable to pay and sitting there waiting while my drink was made. They have a subscription service, and perhaps there are a lot of regulars, because I got this vibe like I wasn't entirely wanted there. In substance, they had some interesting options, but the one I ordered really didn't deliver. I got a matcha with mango and hibiscus and turned down honey to sweeten it because I thought the fruit would do it. Matcha and fruit is often good, it occasionally crashes and burns, but this one really didn't deliver on either side of the flavor combo. I opted against oat milk seeing they had a cheap generic brand, to find that the same was true of almond milk, which I think was the main thing I tasted. I could imagine there's some quality there and I just didn't have the greatest experience, if I'm being charitable. read more

Intrepid Nitro Coffee and Tea Bar - Nitro and matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Nothing but praise for this new coffee and tea spot. We have a ton of coffee places in Knox. For one to stand out, it needed to offer something unique and Intrepid definitely delivers! Samantha took great care of my friend, Atlee M. and I as I indecisively navigated the menu. She told me about their many teas and nitro coffees on tap and mentioned that they also have the standard coffee shop staples like Americanos, lattes, cappuccinos, etc. I am really intrigued by some of the unique flavor notes in their coffees, like maple, bourbon, and peanut butter. Luckily, they let you have samples galore of anything on tap. Hallelujah! Samantha was also really great at patiently guiding me based on flavors I typically enjoy. I was skeptical about adding a touch of maple syrup to the Dominican blend but it was amazing! You also don't need ice because the tap keeps it cold and you don't need a creamer because the nitro blend is already incredibly -and surprisingly- creamy on its own. I normally do half and half or oat milk in my coffee and needed nothing. And while nitro adds carbonation, it didn't add noticeable bubbles, if that makes you initially hesitate. Oh my goodness, friends. Just get over here and try this place. Great service and the samples mean you won't leave disappointed. read more

I've been to a lot of coffee shops of all shapes & sizes all across the World. This place is in my top 3 in terms of their style, selection and energy that the owner Season exudes. The owners moved from good o'le CA. The husband loved craft beer & nitro coffee and the wife, "Season," loves tea so they created this place and offer all. They also have their liqueur liscence so sell wine and bourbon if you wanted something to get your liquid courage up. .....Yes that is right, her name is Season and she has character and a very good Vibe. Stop in if you in the area, you won't be disappointed with their selection. Best this thing is you can get a tasting of everything on the house and then order, super cool. Love your idea dn vibe guys, keep up the great work. IG: DaPharaoh #ViBN read more

Intrepid Nitro Coffee and Tea Bar - Hot chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

I've visited Intrepid 4 times now, getting something different each time. I have enjoyed everything so far! The owners are incredibly kind and filled with joy. They are excited about their business, and that amazing attitude bleeds into everything they do. It is clear that others enjoy working there as well. The asthetic is clean lines and modern. Even with everything white with subtle splashes of color, the vibe is very calming. They offer traditional coffee shop drinks, but the stars of the show are the nitro coffees and teas. The first time I went, I did a flight of nitros and was blown away at the smoothness of each one. My mind couldn't quite wrap itself around the hot nitro, but it was delightful! I've taken chai (think thick, sweet Christmas in a cup) and Matcha to friends to share and all was enjoyed. PRO TIP: if you like a latte but can't have dairy or don't want the dairy, try the Dominican Nitro with a little maple syrup. I was SHOCKED how it suddenly took on a creamy taste just like an cold latte! They also have their liquor license and do wine and liquor pairing with the nitro! SO creative and fun. In a city with so many local coffee shops I love that they have found a unique market. I can't wait to keep supporting them! read more

The coffee is phenomenal! We had a wonderful and informed barista who allowed us to sample the nitros and pick our favorite. The coffee is smooth, with good flavor, and doesn't turn bitter as it cools. The Peanut Butter and Octane were both exceptional. They do change flavors every so often. You can get cold or hot nitros. My only critique is that there aren't allot of seating and their pastry options, while they looked wonderful, were limited. All and all, if you're going for a good cup or coffee, that's what you will find! Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely fabulous new coffee shop in town! Stopped in on a whim, but this definitely won't be the last time. Lovely owners welcomed us in and offered us tastes of not one, but several different nitro coffees and teas. I had a peanut butter whiskey and nitro coffee with bourbon cold foam - OMG, so good! And my daughter had a hibiscus mango nitro iced tea, which she loved. And the stuffed cookies! Oh my! read more

I stopped by in need of quick caffeine and a snack, and this place was so delightful! The owners are really excited about their business and explained their rotating nitro coffee and tea options, and the little sample of the nitro coffee was awesome! They also have boozy coffee options, which is a neat offering that you can't get anywhere else around here.

The space is nice and bright, and it seems like a comfortable place to spend a couple hours working/studying. I'll definitely be back! read more

Wide variety of selections. Staff were really nice and gave us lots of samples. Most of the coffees were really tasty - some, less so (to each their own). Nitro tea was cool - hadn't seen that before. Had unique stuff. Cortado was good. The experience was overwhelming. I just wanted a coffee, but instead tried 5 different kinds of nitro coffee and tea at like 9:30am. Vibes were ok. read more
