"Seasonal menu is so good my friend and I both ended up getting two different coffees. Very cute place, clean, offers gifts and plants for sale as well. Bagels were good, the cream cheese is standard Philadelphia cream - did the job. Both baristas were kind. Can’t wait to come back to check off other seasonal off the list :)"

"Who knew an Americano could be so delicious?! I absolutely love all their drinks and I’ve gotta say they have one of the best cups of regular black coffee in Knoxville. There’s plenty of seating I just gotta say it gets pretty cold sometimes so bring a jacket if you’re gonna stay awhile. Their cozy toast is pretty bomb I just wish it had more banana pieces on it."

"Made a point to try this adorable cafe recently on a Sunday for a traditional hot vanilla latte. Loved the plant and gift shop vibe, spacious seating options and outdoor patio. However, it was the exceptional service from two of the baristas that really sold me on this place."

"Decent cup of coffee but a little pricey for the cup size. Great place to just hang out. Lots of Knick-knacks. Bad parking lot."

"I stumbled upon this place today and it was phenomenal. It did not disappoint. I wish I could have stayed for longer instead of needing to grab my coffee and go. It was some of the most delicious coffee I've had in a while. I enjoyed the sweater weather from the fall menu and the combination of brown sugar and fig was fantastic! Also the salted brown sugar sprinkled on the top was just the cherry on top. I enjoy my dessert coffee as I like to call them half sweet and it was perfect that way. Looking forward to the next time I'm in Knoxville in that area so I can enjoy it again"

"What a beautiful place to sit and enjoy a fantastic espresso, matcha latte or just a simple cup of coffee. Not over priced and fresh coffee with a few food choices that is a nice touch to sit among the plants and listen to some light music. Lots of space to stretch out and get a little work in if needed."
