Inside, it has a touch of 70's flair and midcentury pizzazz in a small but serene space. Seating is limited, with a few cozy seating spots and many bar seats and low-top tables. The wi-fi was rockin' and many outlets being put to good, techie use. The barista warmly greeted us and quickly got to work with our creations-a cold brew and a hot latte. There is a $1 upgrade for dairy alternatives and any sugar and sweetener is in a self-serve area, not added into the drink (although the barista asked me if that's okay, thus, I think she would have added if I preferred that). They have sugar and stevia, as an FYI for anyone who wants/needs a different option. They have a few baked treats and a few seasonal coffee flavors and add-in flavors and beyond that, the drink menu is simplistic. My latte was the creamiest, foamiest latte in all the land. The coffee itself was a touch more bitter than we like but we were able to doctor it up nicely with stevia. Cute spot with a lovely view of the surrounding, scenic neighborhood.

Our order: seasonal latte and cold brew…read more I typically am not one for foam but this latte got me. Beyond its beautiful aesthetics, the milky layer provided a rich and nutty sweetness that complemented the dark and earthy tones of the espresso. The cold brew was quite the adventure, taking in every layer, one at a time. What started out as subtle sweetness quickly turned into a cacao aroma and ended at citrus tartness. Small but mighty brick and mortar shop in a quaint neighborhood across from a church and lined with other local businesses. Bar stools, lounge chair, work bench, they've got it all. Certainly a hidden gem in residential Knoxville. So glad we stopped by!

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!

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.

Not only did they have a great selection of espresso beans, the barista was happy to educate me on the different options. I also got a dark chocolate bar made in Asheville that was absolutely fantastic! My hot Cortado to go was delicious and high on the caffeine side. (My favorite!!) There is adequate seating for studying, working, or chatting with friends and the atmosphere is warm and relaxing with good WiFi. They have several family style restrooms that are easy to access. The only challenge is that parking can be difficult, but it's inner city....what did I expect? The barista was super fast and had an amazing attitude. I will 100% be back!

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.

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!

I enjoyed my brief visit to this coffee shop! It's right on the edge of downtown. I was coming from…read moreGatlinburg and just wanted a London fog latte so I came and got one. It wasn't as sweet as I expected (like if you order at Starbucks for eg) but the ambiance inside is excellent - they have tables and regular chairs but also couches and big soft chairs. I sat in a big soft chair and was very comfortable! They also have two clean bathrooms, i changed in there after hiking. There weren't enough hanging pegs but they were spacious so still good enough. The staff up front were quick and helpful! No trouble there. And there were a decent number of parking spots out back - that said, by the time I left, the lot was completely full. Not sure where else you could park in the area. Overall, if passing and needing a rest I would rec this spot! But I would try ordering something else besides a London fog ;)

It's a comfy space though a little small and by 10:00, it was starting to get crowded with laptop folks. I took that as my cue and headed onwards. But first, there was coffee (a cortado that was more like a flat white) and a bunch of time on their wifi. There is a parking lot in the back. If it's full there, it will be full inside.

Cute spot near downtown Knoxville…read more There's a decent amount of seating inside and there wasn't too many people ordering on a weekday morning. I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito and a coffee. The coffee was not too sweet and tasted great but I wouldnt say it was strong. The burrito came out nice and hot with a side of salsa. The salsa is a store bought salsa and I would've loved to see a homemade salsa instead. I'd definitely go back here again if I was in town for a quick filling breakfast.

Cute and will serve a hot beverage…read more I'm a tea drinker. Can't speak to the coffee. My London fog was the best I've had in years. Tea, milk, vanilla balance were perfect. Here's the thing. Many places I go will serve a Luke warm tea beverage. This was hot drink bliss. Bonus for sticker offering at register. 75cents. Lots of space. Only possible draw back is the thumping gym music next door. Doesn't bother me, but ruin a more zen type. Customer service with a smile. Will stop by again when I'm around. Note. Some food offerings.
