For your coffee fix. Mocha latte 👍🏼. 🍫☕️

Espresso is great! Authentic, and cappuccino was great, the strawberry coffee cans was good as well.

Hot black coffee was bold and rich. Woke me up with a warm, uplifting aroma.

Try its salted nutella tart, it's amazing!!

The chai latte was so weak I actually thought the barista had forgotten to add the flavoring to the steamed milk. Definitely the worst chai I've had in my life. Adorable place, though!

Great shop. Cool design elements, art, well made coffee, if you like Counter Culture espresso, curated chocolate and bottled iced drinks.

They usually have a "guest" grinder for espresso, but you have ask for it. It's always worth it.

Lately, everyday I'm in here for more than an hour and a half, the wifi mysteriously cuts off for 20mins at a time... Nice play Java..

Easily the best coffee place in Knoxville, and one of the few that's gotten better over the years.

Out-of-towners: this is a real, local coffee shop in every sense. Best non-chain coffee spot in town for reading, studying and meeting folks. (More picks at the link.)
by Elizabeth K.
Go here when you don't really need to do anything, bring your computer, and $12. Order the BLAT (BLT + Avocado). Very relaxed.
