Currently sipping on the best cherry vanilla latte I've ever had in my LIFE. Best coffee, super consistent. My favorite in town:)
Great latte selection! Loved the seasonal options they had. Super cute and spacious spot.
Very cute coffee shop, there was lots of place to work and hang out. The menu is kind of hard to understand as it lacks details but I recommend the honey bear latte. It is a 10 out of 10 with cinnamon honey and vanilla notes. Will definitely be coming back here!! This location is just as good as the Kerns location, my friend ordered the vanilla latte and enjoyed it as well. They have lots of fun seasonal options as well, including coffee flights.
I had a white chocolate coffee drink and was surprised to find a polar bear in my drink! It was during the holidays so not sure if this is a regular thing but the atmosphere was cute and the drink was delicious.
Matcha was very milky. But I'm sure the coffee is good. Vibes were great and employees were nice. Cute place
I was downtown at a market and went in to warm up and grab a cup of coffee. I got a specialty latte and picked up a bag of coffee. The latte was good as was the bagged coffee.
The most delicious coffee and breakfast sandwhich around! As a pumpkin lover, the pumpkin cookie butter was absolutely smazing. Perfect amount of sweetness balanced with the flavors. Had a sip of the coffee toffee and it was also just as delicious. The cafe is so very cozy and full of students studying and enjoying the quiet atmosphere. Definitely coming back here!
Coffee was amazing!! I was only in Knoxville for 2 days and this is the coffee shop I went to both days because it was so good. So many creative flavors to add to your latte! Service was wonderful. The same lady was there making my coffee both days and she was the sweetest. Great place to study or do work.
Vanilla latte hot was perfect, ordered a bacon egg and cheese in a croissant . Prices were reasonable, the place is clean, great staff. Come support your local coffee shop.
Whenever we are in Old City, I always pass this shop and look longingly into the windows because it is always closed in the evenings. I finally got a chance to stop in and it was worth the wait! What a cool historic building with the exposed brick and steel and the space goes much farther back than anticipated, including a large event space that doubles as a church space in the back. There are small tables galore, a few cozy chat spaces, a large table in a more secluded area in back, and a small room upstairs with a conference room vibe (and a whiteboard). While the menu may look basic, the unique flavorings add some pizzazz to whatever drink you order. This time around, I was hot and wanted a simple iced cold brew (with oat milk) and it was tasty and smooth with chocolate notes. I would definitely come back and try an espresso drink and a flavoring. Note that the parking is a bit tricky in this area but worth the search.
