Seed Coffee is my go-to spot to get work done. It's in a repurposed old church, so there's so much space--perfect whether you want a quiet corner or a big table to spread out. What makes it even better is their mission. They partner with coffee growers in places like Haiti and invest back into those communities, so your coffee is actually doing some good too. Food and drinks are also on point. The "Mamba" is a spicy peanut butter spread on a bagel--simple but so good and a little different. I also loved the orange popsicle matcha--super refreshing and just fun. Great coffee, great space, and a spot you can feel good about supporting. read more

Love love love this spot. My only complaint is the location/ difficult parking. They have the best tasting coffee and absolutely fabulous seasonal menus. The s'mores latte is my favorite in the fall. My husband loved the uncrustable latte this week! read more

Man, this place was popping on a Sunday morning, and for good reason! The coffee was absolutely delicious, and I love the unique concept of repurposing an old church into such a creative space. The prices were great, and my order came out quickly. There are so many cozy nooks and corners where you can relax or catch up with friends, and they even have conference rooms, how cool is that? Such a fun spot with great vibes all around! read more

Adorable place! Lots of drink options and I like that they have a second room. Not a fan of how packed it gets with college students but that's really the only con. I can't say their coffee is memorable but it's never been disappointing. However, I have heard that their matcha isn't the greatest. read more

a Saturday treat! Daniel rates his espresso a 4/5 and my matcha is also a 4/5. My matcha wasn't entirely blended at the bottom, but the raspberry flavor made up for it and it complimented the matcha so well! As far as setting goes, Seed is the best in Knox! (imo) this coffee shop is beautiful and it being settled in an old church is absolutely awesome. We were served with smiling faces and we will be back soon! read more

Seed is such a hidden gem! My wife and I stopped here on the way to Nashville and we're so glad we did. I got iced coffee and my wife got matcha and they were both excellent. The vibe of the place was fantastic, with tons of seating both inside and outside. The staff were kind and very helpful as well! Would definitely go out of my way to visit again! (My wife also told me to mention the neighborhood cat that greeted us after we parked.) read more

Stopped in Knoxville for a quick pick-me-up and this place didn't disappoint. I would consider myself a coffee snob and it truly lived up to my standards, not to mention it was SO affordable. I got a cappuccino with lavender and you can tell the espresso and syrup quality on the first sip. If I lived in the area, I would be coming everyday! Great service and really cute store. read more

Super cute spot! I loved my latte. It had a very smooth flavor. My husband really enjoyed the lavender syrup too. It carried the flavor without being too sweet! read more

Stayed at an Airbnb in the "Marble City" area of Knoxville and passed this place on the way back to campus. What a find. Friendly staff, cute, comfortable atmosphere and great bagels and coffee! Lots of areas to sit and be comfortable from couches to tables. Filled with lots of great light! Will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for a quick pit stop on our way home after picking up our son from Univ. of Tennessee. Had two drip coffees and a breakfast sandwich on a bagel. Coffee was good, sandwich was delicious and service was quick. Exactly what we wanted before getting back on the road. read more

One afternoon on my laptop at Seed Coffee Knoxville was all it took to realize I'd found the best spot in town for getting real remote work done. The place nails the sweet spot between lively and distraction‑free--something not all Knoxville coffee shops  manage. First thing that hooked me? The Sonos speakers. In addition to giving quality sound, they have good placement. They sit down low, not too far from ear level. Most of the other coffee shops in Knoxville mount them up high like they do in department stores. Seed's better placement of the speakers gives a full, warm sound that can immerse you without turning the volume to eleven. Small detail. Huge difference. The layout and decor sets Seed apart. It's set in a daylight basement with windows on one side, letting in constant natural light to keep you awake while still maintaining the cozy nook atmosphere that we all love about the best coffee shops. The shop is split into two rooms, letting you choose between vibes. Oftentimes, one is more chatty while the other room remains quiet. Plus, they keep a little jungle's worth of plants that lets the room breathe. Furnishing accommodates a variety of seating preferences: leather couches and lounge chairs if you're in comfy mode, a high bar with stools (which I use as a standing desk), and plenty of two‑tops and fast Wi-Fi for head‑down laptop grind. Their coffee holds its own. I'm a black‑drip guy, and theirs pours smooth. No burnt bite. No weird aftertaste. Order "for here" and they hand you a ceramic mug. A warm touch that carries quality. If you're hunting the best coffee shop in Knoxville for remote work, or just need a mellow corner to breathe, this is it. Walk in, plug in, and get sh*t done. read more

Seed Coffee is such a great space for quiet work or conversation and community. They have a variety of outdoor and indoor seating, truly offering you the best of what coffee shops have to offer. It can be challenging in a small space to make it feel like everyone can have their own space, but they have accomplished it. I really love the light, airy and natural feel of space. I am fairly basic in my coffee order, just ordering a black drip, but it was a fabulous medium roast with a perfectly nutty flavor. Come check it out and see for yourself! read more

Fantastic coffee shop. Can't say enough about the coffee, the bagels, and super service. Everyone is incredibly friendly. Maybe it's the caffeine. read more

I really like this place! Came here with some friends to catch up and it was so cozy. The coffee and the matcha were both delicious and we really enjoyed our time read more

This is a comfortable place to sit back relax and drink a smooth cup of Joe and grab a snack . I would suggest looking into the bagels

I love this cozy cafe, the coffee is amazing and the bagels are the best I've ever had! Highly recommend going and supporting this amazing small business! read more

This was such a cute coffee shop! The service was great, the kids were so nice! The food, was delicious! The everything bagel sandwich was amazing! Wish we lived much closer, Nebraska is a little too far away read more

Wow. I love what Seed Coffee Co has done with this space! The interior is gorgeous and the perfect spot to work for a couple hours or meet a friend. Plus they have a ton of outdoor seating if the weather is nice. The coffee is great! My go-to is a honey latte and they nailed it. They have a wide range of syrup and alternative milk options to suit anyone's needs. BUT DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE BREAKFAST BAGEL. 10/10 stars!! My order is a sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel and it is delish! I've already been 3x in the first 2 weeks they've been open and it's clear the staff is still learning, but it's never taken them more than 5-10 minutes even with a long line. And they are SO NICE! The perfect start to the morning. Take my advice and skip the Starbucks, support local (plus some of the proceeds go to their charity partner in Haiti)! read more

Traveling through Knoxville, i found this coffee shop that opened its doors two months ago. Pulled up to what was once a beautiful church building. The coffee shop is tucked under the bottom floor. Only downside about this place, wish it were closer to me. The coffee was phenomenal, the baristas were friendly and the ambiance was beautiful and warm. Me and my husband enjoy it coffee immensely! read more

A group of friends and I stopped here when passing through the town. The vibe here is great! Love the calming, light atmosphere. I enjoyed the iced vanilla latte. Parking was difficult on our trip likely due to finals week for college students, but overall, a well crafted coffee shop. Service was a little slow, but it was not a big deal to me. read more

A non-pretentious, warm, quiet, inviting coffee shop experience. They serve Haitian coffee to provide business to the sourcing community and return a portion of profits there as well. It is located in a delightful, reclaimed old church building. A darling little setting. There is also outdoor space in front and outback, so you have a choice of what your experience is. read more

Seed coffee Co has such a good vibe and atmosphere. Very friendly staff and so welcoming. Perfect place to get some work done or bring a friend. Plenty of comfortable seating options. The cold brew is phenomenal and I loved their seasonal/4th of July specials! read more

Good drinks, rude service. Couples will not be able to enjoy beverages together as one may wait 20 minutes for their drink.
