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.

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 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.

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.

I'm really disappointed by my experience at K Brew today. I came around 11 AM with my 15-month-old…read moredaughter and some friends. 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.

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. Looks like they go fast. Display was close to empty by 1000

Everything looked very clean, including the bathrooms, and the staff was friendly with good recommendations. I ordered the hot honey bagel $2.50 with scallion cream cheese $2.60 (3.25oz cup) and a honey lavender latte $8.00 with almond milk. The bagel was a little dry for my taste (being a New Yorker I'm used to NYC-style bagels), but the cream cheese was smooth/flavorful, perfectly creamy with the right chive ratio. The lavender latte was excellent--fragrant and really well balanced. Be ready to spend a bit. My BAGEL/cream cheese and latte came out to almost $15. Still a nice spot and I'd come back for the latte and the vibe.
