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 ordered a café au lait, and it delivered exactly what it should: bold, full-bodied coffee balanced by smooth, well-steamed milk. The result was rich without being heavy, strong without tipping into bitterness. This is the sort of place where coffee is treated as a craft rather than a trend--no shortcuts, no distractions, just a well-executed cup that lingers pleasantly and invites you to slow down. A destination worth seeking out for anyone who appreciates coffee with backbone and character.

Cute little shop with a good mission. We got the Italian sandwich and the turkey bacon avocado…read moresandwich. The chipotle turkey one was absolutely delicious! The Italian was good but it was served cold and that's not great for ciabatta bread since it's so dense. It was a lot of chewing. They added balsamic which was a nice touch. The chips on one plate were stale but the other plate's were fresh. I liked the addition of the pickles. Staff was friendly. I liked the games available for patrons to play. If I came back I would probably just get the chipotle turkey sandwich.

Super cute inside with ample seating and space. It would be a good place to work in the morning if you're remote or have a business meeting. Clean and pretty quiet. The coffee was great! The sweet barista was upfront about the sugar in their flavors, so skipped that and got a good old-fashioned breve latte. Hit the spot! I opted for the Turkey Sausage Burrito for food. It was pretty good, but I'd probably try something different next time. Now that salsa was the bomb. It made the burrito so much better. Overall I'd recommend and would go back anytime I was in the area.

Definitely coming back.

They…read moreoffer a standard selection of classic coffee selections (cappuccino, latte, mocha, etc.) and a great selection of caffeinated and non-caffeinated teas, which I am always looking for! The matcha latte I had was delicate, sweet and frothy. The staff handled my milk allergy with ease and kindness. They serve Counter Culture coffee, a North Carolina roaster, also found in town at Old City Java and Wild Love, but nowhere I've seen in West Knox. There's natural light in the café enhanced with cool toned ceiling lights accompanied by minimalist pink and gold accents with natural wood features and a few fake plants. The music was mainly rap and R&B. Every seat has a table, though PPC doesn't offer much in the way of comfy seating, as furnishings are ikea-style chairs and metal stools. There are a couple outdoor tables for nice weather. I hope as this the Café establishes roots, we'll see more seasonal drink menus, comfier seating options, and more (real) greenery. Looking forward to trying more of their drink offerings and seeing what lies in store for them!

Staff members were friendly, and it seemed to be a hangout spot for many generations of people. Only had tea since I rolled in after 12 PM and I'm that person who can't sleep if I have caffeine past then (sucks, I know), so I can't comment on the coffee. But the tea was loose leaf, and they let me know the steep time. They even topped me off for a second dose when I finished the first. Wifi was spotty, and I learned quickly why most people using it were in the back room. I attempted to set up in the front room, but it kept kicking me off. Moved to the back room, and no issues. Depending on your needs, just know it can get busy and loud in the afternoon between 2-3ish. Or at least that was my experience. Fortunately, I was listening mostly in my meeting, but it can get noisy in there.

What is clear is that the quality remains firmly intact. The coffee is excellent--well-crafted, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Just as important, the atmosphere is warm and genuinely family-friendly, the kind of place that welcomes regulars, kids, and casual drop-ins without trying too hard to be trendy. Name changes can sometimes signal growing pains or reinvention, but in this case, the fundamentals are strong. Ugly Mug succeeds where it matters most: serving quality coffee in a comfortable, approachable setting that feels like a true local staple.
