Lost a star, (maybe should be 3 1/2 stars) because it took FOREVER to get 2 sandwiches. AND I was…read morethe only person there, with 3 employees. I went in on Sunday, about 11:15, because a friend let me have a bite of her Pistachio Croissant. It was sooo good I wanted to get a few (4). Sadly there were only two left. As I looked at the wall menu I thought the sandwiches sounded good, and I wouldn't have to cook lunch. Well I then ordered 2 Club Houses to go. (My mistake time wise) Again... I was the ONLY customer/person there. I stood around for 30min and noticed the two front end girls were lightly wiping a counter and as my momma would say, "puttering about". Nothing was said to me still standing at the counter. Finally I said 'is anyone making my sandwiches?' One girl said yes, the other girl went to the back to check. The decor is nice, but with a sore foot I wasn't interested in decor, not to forget HH (hungry hubby) was waiting in the car that warm day. The sandwiches when I finally got home to eat them were large and well packed with meat & cheese. They were good. The croissants were really good. BUT waiting 45 (yes Forty-five) minutes for two sandwiches in an empty restaurant was crazy!

Recently rebranded as Ugly Mug, this cozy neighborhood coffee spot appears to have changed its…read morename, though the motivation behind the shift isn't immediately clear. 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.

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!

Traffic was backed up off of I 75 just after exit 81 so I stopped off at this drive-through only…read morecoffee place. These folks have taken a page out of the Chick-fil-A playbook and hire folks to come out and take your order while you're still in line in the car. The coffee seemed like a better alternative to the Dunkin' Donuts three doors down and I was very amused by the plastic bubbles the staff were wearing to take orders in the rain. My coffee, when it was handed to me, was super hot. Like, so hot that I could not even sip it for a full 20 minutes. When I lifted it out of the cupholder to drink it, I discovered that it was so hot that it had burned through the cheap Styrofoam gas station coffee cup that it was served in -- and was pooling around my cupholder. It got all over my car and all over my shirt -- which sucked because I had a seven hour drive ahead of me, with multiple stops, so I looked like a hot mess in every place I went for the rest of the drive home. I'm downgrading it only three stars because the coffee itself tasted good and I was entertained by the staff in their bubble helmets. But really, this created so much cleanup for me because of the two cut hot coffee and the cheap coffee cups that I would never go back here.

A quiet hidden gem that understands the power of simplicity done well. The coffee program here is…read moreconfident and unfussy, the kind that doesn't need theatrics to make its point. 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.

Definitely worth the moderate drive to try some of the best Indian flavors in the area. The…read morerestaurant is unassumingly attached to a gas station, but don't let that deter you! Hands down the best Indian food I've had in the Knox County surrounding area. 1 dish is enough to feed 2-3 people - and I wanted to try multiple dishes, so I definitely had to ask for takeout containers and even then I had lunch and dinner for the next couple days covered! I went during dinner hours, but they do offer a buffet everyday from 11am to 3pm - which I will try next time to try more flavors at an even more affordable cost. Food did not come out extremely fast - so a good sign that it is freshly made to order and not just reheated frozen sauces with protein thrown in. The kababs came out sizzling and biryani came out steaming! The lamb was not gamey at all. The hospitality was quick and pleasant also!

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.

The woman at the window had a death grip on the card reader, I was forced to practically climb out my window to put my card in. No apologies from this disheveled looking older woman. The "coffee" she tried handing to me was definitely not right. It had an orange tint with cold foam. She took it back and apparently just scooped the foam off then tried handing it back to me. I declined and proceeded to 7 brew where customer service it top notch, the coffee is not watered down and you receive what you ordered. To my astonishment, she is the manager. There seems to not be much traffic at this location which Im sure is due to crappy management. Do better less you lose even more customers.

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.
