The coffee they use for their coffee drinks.

Donna S.

The Airbnb nearby, where we stayed, gave us a sample of their coffee to advertise LOCAL. I LOVED that, so I headed to the coffee shop to check it out. The space is LOVELY... very up-scale with lots of light coming in & lots of seating. (Many people were there working, so I assume they have good wifi.) The staff was SUPER sweet & helpful. The mocha I got was delicious..... But... My issue is with the PRICES. A medium-sized mocha -- that, at $6.50, was already more expensive than Starbucks or any other coffee shop close-by I'd tried, -- was $7.50 with almond milk. $8.20 with tax. I did tip... so a medium mocha was over $9!? Unreasonable in my book.... that's Room Service prices. ;P ALTHOUGH, I will say that, IF you're staying to use their wifi, I think it's not as bad.... But for those of us who were getting it to go, it's ridiculous. I was thinking, after I left, about WHAT could possibly validate the high cost....the coffee bags don't mention organic or fair trade... Maybe the staff is paid higher or they get insurance? I like the new policy at some restaurants that slightly increases the cost of food & doesn't take tips but pays "fair wage & benefits" to employees... but this place had a place for tips so I don't think that's the case.... I didn't ask. Bags of coffee were about $16. I don't think I'll be back. There are LOTS of cute shops to try and ALL, so far, we're less expensive.

Just love the spaciousness of this coffee house.

I came here the other day with my girlfriend. Right away, I loved the friendly service. Andrew, one of the managers, took my order and even provided me with a little palate cleanser along with my ordered cappuccino. I have been seeking the perfect cappuccino since I moved here, and I have to say this has got to be it. Absolutely, loved the flavor here! And I also adored the cool atmosphere --very spacious inside and if it wasn't such a hot day, we would have sat in the outside room with the cool hammocks. A tip from my girlfriend: absolutely try one of their bagels! I look forward to having one next time.

Heidy M.

Great stop on our way to a morning hike. Very friendly staff, clean tables and swinging hammocks to sit on outside. Our lattes were very tasty, served hot and reasonably priced. The reason for the four stars was the bagel sandwiches. We both ordered a custom sandwich and the bagel was doughy with an egg that was previously frozen, rubbery and not good. We were bummed and only took one bite and had to throw them away. We stayed to swing, had a fun morning regardless and enjoyed our lattes on the patio. The next driveway over you can find the Welcome to Knoxville mural and it's a great place for fun photos. We would definitely return but only for a coffee. Very comfortable here with a welcome home vibe. Enjoy!

Mary S.

Visited again while in town and had a much better experience! I didn't realize they had a combo! The combos is a black coffee or cappuccino AND a bagel and spread and I think it's only like $6?! I got a black coffee and an Asiago bagel with whipped butter. This was seriously one of the best bagels I've ever had. The line when we got there was long, but was moving super fast and we got our coffee and bagels super fast too! I really do like this place. It's so cute! I love the hammock swings. This time they even had a little pop up clothing shop in the room with the hammock swings!

Another day and another great coffee. Lots of work to get done today, all fueled with radical caffeine.

Might be the best latte I've ever had. Tried their two featured lattes- Pumpkin Pie and Brown Sugar. Both were made with real ingredients, not just syrups and that was evident in the great flavor. I would stop by Knoxville again for more. A bit pricey. $7 for the features latte and $1 for oat milk substitution but I suppose you're paying for quality. When paying it looks like there is a reward program so that may help for regulars or someone who lives in town. VERY cute atmosphere and clean. A perfect place to join all the students and relax or get work done. Also serve bagels and breakfast sandwiches but I didn't purchase any. Merch: they have a two styles of mugs and one iced coffee glass plus some brewing supplies, tshirts, and beans.

Before really planning anything about my Knoxville trip I planned out some coffee shops to visit! K brew popped up on every list of where to get good coffee in Knoxville so I knew it had to be on my list! I planned to visit a few during my stay but K brew was the first and it lived up to all the hype! First of all the place is adorable with the swings in the back with lights and an open garage door look.. then the latte and breakfast sandwich made the stop more than worth it! If my trip was longer I'd pop in multiple times but I wanted to be sure to spread out my coffee love. I've already recommended this place to multiple people visiting the area soon!

Rebecca M.

Brew - love! I tried the coconut creme latte. It was lovely. There are hammocks inside with a large garage type door opened. Nice and breezy while I sipped my latte. Very zen. Very hip! Prices equivalent to other coffee shops

Visiting from out of town and folks directed me to K Brew for coffee. I ordered a "shot in the dark" which I think was off menu but the guy knew what it was. Had a nice conversation about coffee, roasting, etc. Great folks behind the counter. The coffee itself was not the best I've had, but okay... far better than what most people call coffee. If I lived in town I'd probably visit occasionally and try more of what they have on offer. Cool place and definitely in an area that needs a cool coffee place. I marked them as "pricey" because for a cuppa and a bagel I popped $7. read more

I had a tea which I liked that it was loose leaf and they pressed/seeped it right there. The inside is cute, clean and a light wood with plenty of seating. The best part is the hammocks!!

The coffee is good but the system is terrible. We have never been there that someone doesn't grab our coffee then we get stuck with the wrong one. They need to get names. It's just annoying when you've waited for your coffee and someone grabs yours then you have to wait again or just take what they ordered. Stars do not reflect the coffee just the system. read more

I am finally getting my addiction to this place under control, but I'm sure once winter rolls back around that will all change. They focus on finely crafted drinks of the espresso and pour over variety. They make the best latte in town hands down. It is expensive, but well worth it. My goto drink is a hazelnut latte. And I appreciate that they have multiple sizes on their menu. Sometimes, you just need 20 oz of latte. The inside is tiny... But good use of space with counters all around the inside windows for watching traffic.i usually get it to go. Update: no longer in the same tiny space, they have a lovely little space including tables, some lounge style seating and a hammock forest (which is kinda worth the trip all in itself). I also want to add that after visiting many other coffee shops around knoxville, this one remains the friendliest and is staffed by the most genuine and lovely people. read more

It's so crowded sometimes there isn't a seat, and I do miss the vibes from their little tiny shop. But nevertheless I will always love Kbrew the most.

I went here with a couple friends to talk about some plans for school later this year. They ordered teas and such and on the way to k brew I got Taco Bell because I was hungry and I knew that a coffee shop does not have lunch they have coffee. What a grand idea. Upon getting there my friend and I sat down while the other ordered drinks. After my other friend pays for the drinks the lady that took her order came up to me and my friends sitting down and asked me to leave because I had another companies food inside . First of all, Taco Bell isn't a hipster coffee shop so I don't know if I just didn't get their look right or what but I HAD TO EAT LUNCH. So to make a long story short we will never be returning to this coffee shop and have to sadly support Starbucks in their mission to take over the world, because they actually allow paying customers with other people's food inside their waiting and visiting areas. In summation, don't bring your granola bar or your great value water as you get your coffee (because somehow Walmart is also a competitor to their hipster coffee brand) or you'll be embarrassingly asked to leave by what looks like a nice lady but inside is Satan himself. Also, if the company is reading this kicking out customers is never good business no matter what purpose. Ever. Look at Starbucks. read more

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!

Awesome service and coffee. I also appreciate their military and first responder discount…read more We don't live in the area but we always make sure to stop here (one of their locations) when we are in town.

Try: 1776! Why: I…read moreremember learning about this coffee company years back and always wanted to try so had a chance while visiting Pigeon Forge with the family. I really enjoyed the 1776 that has sea salt toffee, caramel and mocha. I have a sweet tooth and love coffee so it was a great match for me. I also tried the Horchata Latte, which was a bit watery and didn't have enough cinnamon and vanilla flavor for me. My family did enjoy their Black Coffee, Vanilla Cold Brew, and Green Tea. We wanted to try their Honey Chai but they ran out of Chai. Notes: We came in the morning and they were busy with line almost to the door. They managed through the long line fairly quickly with a person at register and two baristas making the coffee. Service was friendly and accurate given my families long list of orders. The Interior was decked out with veteran decor and merchandise. Overall, a solid coffee run to kick start our morning!

Abridged Beer Company

A quick Yelp search while in the area led us here. It was a good find for sure…read more Loved that even on cold days, there is a closed-in patio that allows pups! Our pup travels everywhere with us, so finding these spots is important to us. It was very spacious too - so we weren't on top of other guests. They have an extensive menu and the same with the beer list. There is something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to fruity sours. Not sure which beer you may like - get a sample. Or try a flight! For lunch, we got the deviled eggs to start - something that is a go-to for us. They were solid and enjoyable. For the main, we opted for the Abridged burger and the Chicken club. Both were solid as well. Fries were crispy, but a bit over-salted, and I enjoy some salt. So made a note for next time to "go light". Service was good too. Overall - really only a tiny detail to 'complain' about, but easily taken care of next time. We will be back for sure - I want to try their pizza!

Burgers have always been top notch and awaiting their takeover of the Xul kitchens here. Bar staff on top of service, even refilling water when it got low. Service is a plus. Ambiance is more restaurant feel than brewery, although there is a wide selection of brews available. She order a lemondrop. Nice job, but you get a lemondrop pretty much the same no matter where you go. Beer is very good here. I did not have one I did not enjoy. I need to return some time and try some of their food menu items.

K Brew ultimately is not about the coffee. It is the fact that K Brew honors the service to each customer. It has been said that the underlying philosophy of K Brew is to "Love One's Neighbor." To that end , K Brew shines. The tremendous and beautiful coffees they serve are only the vehicle. I sat for several hours here at their Kingston Pike location. My impression is that humans flourish here. Couples strengthen their love for each other. Business people fuel their work here. Students cultivate their calling in life here. Community is strengthened here. On the surface, you notice the excellence of their food and beverages. Deeper though, you sense their motivation to "love you as their neighbor" K Brew's profits are only the fruit of their excellence. GO! and sit for a while. You will feel the same. read more

This isn't just a great neighborhood coffee shop, it's a great coffee shop period. If you're like me and you just like a plain cup of coffee, they have two different roasts each month. I never thought I'd be one of those people who can tell the difference in types of coffee, but K Brew changed my mind. They also have nice quick bites- breakfast sandwiches on the AM, as well as bagels and biscotti. I'm not a huge espresso drink fan, but the ones I've tasted have been really, really good. I'm proud to have them in our neighborhood. read more
