Definitely coming back.

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!

Perhaps those reviews (which mostly seemed to be around 7-8 months ago) were based on staff that no longer works there. We were greeted in about the most friendly manner ever. Being my first time, I had a ton of questions that were answered with complete care and enthusiasm and attention to detail. While the matcha is pre-sweetened, it's just a mix of matcha powder and sugar. They have dark coffee, which is rare. They checked on the sourdough bread for the avocado toast and it was vegan. Everything was really good, and the service was friendly and fast. The decor is welcoming and modern. Also: open on Sundays which our two other regular spots are not: so now we have an option. Definitely will be back.

We chose a counter table with an eagle view of all the action. Robyn? was taking care of us on this day, and she, in true Waffle House fashion, took our order and stood in line to give our order to the kitchen staff. While we didn't order anything too special or fancy, listening to Robyn shout out our order to the kitchen staff invoked a chuckle in me as I remembered the scene from the Disney animated movie, 'Emperor's New Groove' when Kronk decided to help out in the kitchen. The dialogue went like this. "Three oinkers wearing pants, plate of hot air, basket of grandmas' breakfast, and change the bull to a gill; GOT IT!" One of the cooks wanted to hear some music, so one of the servers got the music and put on 'Waterfalls' by TLC. If you haven't been to Waffle House, like our Mom, it's an experience. The orders are made fast and furious. And if you like waffles, you're in for a treat. If you're all about the hash, they have that too. I ordered dry wheat toast and a side of tomatoes, which was one fat tomato, and it was very juicy. My brother mopped up his plate of hash and left no evidence behind. My Mom ate her waffle, her two eggs any style, and her crispy hash browns. Kudos to Robyn for handling a grumpy regular customer who was less than satisfied with his last visit. Overall, it was a great start to our super Saturday. Thanks, Waffle House team

The food was definitely worth the wait. Everything was delicious, super filling, and came out quickly. I can absolutely see why they're rated the best breakfast in Knoxville. We'll definitely be back -- and we'd love to have Bret as our server again!

At one point, my daughter started heading toward the back/kitchen area, and I immediately sprinted to get her while people standing nearby also helped stop her. Nothing happened, and the situation was handled right away. What shocked me was that a staff member who was wearing a blue/light grey shirt instead of the regular black staff shirts suddenly came over YELLING at me: "She can't be here again, if someone slipped it would be a problem." Her tone was extremely aggressive and embarrassing, especially with everyone around staring in shock at her reaction. I completely understand the need for safety around the kitchen area, and I was already actively handling the situation. But there's a respectful way to speak to customers. I've been a regular at K Brew for a long time, but this interaction genuinely made me reconsider coming back.
