    Vanilla blended coffee w dark chocolate, very good
    Terri M.

    Not sure why the yelp page says ABA Next steps. It's just Riverside coffee. Anyways, this building is a pretty good size building for a coffee shop. All of the employees were very personable. I got a blended vanilla coffee with dark chocolate. It was very good. You could tell it was made with fresh coffee. It also wasn't extremely sweet like Starbucks.

    What a great space! I stopped in here quickly while at an event nearby. Immediately, I noticed how many great spaces there were to both socialize and work. I only got a latte, but I wish I had been able to stay a while and try out all the different foods. The young woman working was so kind in sharing with me about the business and what they offered. I got the pistachio almond latte, half sweet. I was impressed with the number of seasonal offerings and suggestions. My experience was excellent and the mission behind this coffees shop is one that I will continually support!

    While in Knoxville we found this cute coffee shop tucking into a small plaza. I love that it was…read moresuper easy to get to. Plus they had ample parking. Side note the walk up window was so cute. Immediately upon walking in I was in awe. The attention to detail in this shop was top tier design. The ladies working when we went were so sweet and very helpful. I also really love the swag that they have. I am kicking myself for not buying the denim hat! Now onto the coffee. I tried the Blueberry Crisp Latte. The notes of the blueberry were good. Not overpowering and just the right bit of top and bottom. I love to taste the flavor as a finishing note as well. My daughter had a Vanilla Frappe which she enjoyed. I definitely will return whenever I am in Knoxville.

I blame only myself, ha…read more What a great morning treat - I stopped by here recently to network with a local colleague and thought the conversation would be what I enjoyed the most - HOWEVER, the "Cinnamoon" coffee distracted me with every sip! The staff was super friendly, the inside was super clean, all the things you'd hope for in a coffee shop. It was also nice to not feel herded along like you would at a Starbucks or donut shops that happen to sell coffee. I cannot vouch for any other flavors yet, I need more time to really get into it - see you soon! Get here!

The staff is great. They are super nice & pretty fast. The espresso is delicious. Though, I must admit that the flavor is diluted as a latte. I recommend an iced cappuccino if you prefer a coffee forward drink. I love it with the brown sugar syrup! I like trying the seasonal flavors, especially since they make syrups in house. My favorite right now (spring 2026) is the banana bread latte. Parking does get tight during peak hours, but something always opens up or you could try the neighboring lots if you're doing a quick stop.

    I came here twice in one weekend with some friends while we were visiting Knoxville. What drew me…read morein was the great matcha reviews and the house made syrups. The first day we came, the girls behind the counter weren't very nice. Well one of them was, the other wasn't very nice to me and I was kind of taking a minute to think. I wanted their strawberry matcha but they were out of strawberry (so sad). I got a brown sugar cortado instead and two bags of coffee for home. I also wanted a sticker but they were out. The cortado was delicious. Very good drink. My friend got a BOAT (brown sugar oatmilk latte) and that was also very good. I ordered a honey lavender matcha after and that was also very good! Great color on it! The next day we came & two guys were working the counter. They were nicer for whatever reason. I order another cortado. I also ordered first in my group and they actually forgot about my drink. The guy was super apologetic about it and we had a good laugh! I love cafe culture and this place has all the vibes with the really good coffee too! Just upset that they were out of strawberry and stickers

The selection offers a nice mix of classic Indian dishes, from rich curries and tender chicken options to vegetarian choices, rice, naan, and sauces that let you customize each plate. Everything I tried was fresh and well-seasoned, with good flavor rather than overwhelming heat. The buffet makes it easy to sample a little of everything, go back for favorites, and find something for different spice preferences. The naan was a standout alongside the curries, and the overall value is hard to beat for lunch. The restaurant was clean, the food was kept stocked, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Whether you already enjoy Indian food or are trying it for the first time, Spice Hut's lunch buffet is an easy recommendation for a filling, tasty, and reasonably priced meal.

    The Great Indian Food Letdown…read more Listen -- I'm fully on board with a hole-in-the-wall serving up incredible food. That's my favorite kind of find. And maybe we caught this place on an off day, but for me, this was just... okay. And I genuinely do not understand what the rave reviews are talking about. Coming from Houston, a city with roughly a thousand Indian restaurants where almost every single one delivers, this felt like a real step down. Yes, it's attached to a gas station -- fine, no judgment there. They clearly put effort into making the inside feel a little charming. But our table was sticky and gross, and the bathroom matched. Not exactly the first impression you want. And it left me wondering: if the front of house can't notice -- or doesn't care -- that things are dirty, what on earth is happening back in the kitchen? As for the food, we ordered my personal benchmark trio for judging any Indian restaurant: Samosa Chaat, Palak Paneer, and Dosa (when available). They had all three, so I walked in optimistic -- maybe this sticky-table situation was about to redeem itself. Spoiler: it did not. The Samosa Chaat was fine, no real complaints there. But then my Palak Paneer arrived, and I genuinely did not recognize it. It was a strange brownish color -- think baby poop -- and the flavor bore zero resemblance to any Palak Paneer I've had in my life. I didn't finish it, and if you know me with Indian food, that tells you everything you need to know. My husband's dosa fared a little better, but the chutney tasted off, and there was only one variety with no clear indication of what was even in it -- whatever it was, it wasn't good. Traditionally, we're used to getting both coconut and mint chutney on the side, so this felt noticeably incomplete. Honestly, it was such a letdown that I'm not sure I have it in me to give this place a second shot. I'm just sitting here mourning the fear that I may never find great Indian food again after moving here.
