There are coffee shops you stop at because you need coffee, and then there are places that make you…read morewant to sit down and actually enjoy it. Primo Passo Coffee Co. is the latter. I came here three mornings in a row while in Knoxville--which, for me, says a lot. The coffee is fantastic. It's thoughtful, well-made, and feels created with purpose. The menu reads like it was put together by someone who genuinely likes coffee and wants you to experience something beyond the standard routine. I tried the Iced Vanilla Cloud Latte, and you can taste the difference between something simply flavored and something actually crafted. Then there are the bagels. Next level. They're sourced through a local sourdough bakery and are exactly the kind of addition that completes the experience. Good enough that instead of grabbing your coffee and inhaling breakfast in traffic, you actually want to sit down, eat, and stay awhile. And that's really what makes Primo Passo work: the place has a vibe. It's young, vibrant and genuinely local. Sitting here in the mornings, I watched people come in who clearly knew one another. They'd grab coffee, talk about their day, discuss business, catch up for a few minutes and then head out. I watched that happen over and over again. It feels less like a business trying to manufacture a neighborhood coffee-shop atmosphere and more like one naturally becoming part of the neighborhood. It's also truly tucked away. Located beneath residential housing in a mixed-use development, this is the kind of place you can drive right past if you aren't specifically looking for it. Trust me: look for it. There are bigger names and plenty of convenient options nearby, but convenience isn't really the point here. Primo Passo is about the coffee, the process and the experience. Places like this become local staples because people support them while they're still becoming one. If you're in Knoxville for business, live nearby and want to change up your morning routine, or simply appreciate genuinely good coffee, put Primo Passo on your radar. This could easily become my go-to coffee shop if I lived here. Maybe it's the coffee. Maybe it's the bagels. Maybe it's the atmosphere. After spending three consecutive mornings here, I think it's a little bit of all three. Whatever they're doing, it works. And it works very well. There is more to the coffee experience than ordering through an app and getting a thank-you message written on your cup. Sometimes it's about the taste, the process, the people and taking the time to actually enjoy the experience. Primo Passo reminded me of that.

Definitely coming back.

It feels like somewhere you could easily come to work, read a book, study, or just hang out for a while. They also have separate rooms, which I thought was really cool! I'm not sure if you have to book them or if you can just use them when they're available, but I love the idea of having a little private space. I can't remember the exact name of the drink I got, but it was raspberry + cold brew and it was ABSOLUTELY delicious. It still had a really good coffee flavor, which I loved because sometimes fruity coffee drinks can completely overpower the actual coffee. The staff was also nice and friendly. Overall, I really liked the cozy atmosphere and would definitely come back!

I was pleasantly pleased to find a boba tea shop in Oak Ridge. This is my first time in Tennessee…read moreand I my hopes were not high in finding good Asian establishments. The marble mango slushie with rainbow jelly was very refreshing on a very hot July day. I try to reduce the sugar whenever I order so I asked for no sugar. The owner said I really needed more for this particular drink so I said 25%. Somehow she convinced me that I needed at least 50% sugar. The drink was good and I liked the swirl of (I'm guessing here) condensed milk? The place is very Instagrammable with cute decor.

I ordered a Marble Strawberry drink with strawberry popping boba jellies. They provide an order number and took about 5-10 min in the kitchen to bring the drink out and call our number. I will admit that this drink was not what I expected. I thought it would be a strawberry milk tea swirled with milk foam or whipped cream. Nope. It was like a frozen strawberry slushy. It tasted a bit like a (strawberry) creamsicle. My daughter drank the majority of this drink and loved it. I, personally, would not get it again, as I am partial to milk tea at boba shops. I may try their brown sugar or coffee varieties next time I stop in. Don't forget that they also serve savory Banh mi sandwiches. Friendly service and a nice spot to meet a friend. Great IG/selfie areas, if that's your thing, too!

I didn't even fully bite into them because they didn't look appetizing to me. They were super greasy and just looked gross so I tossed them immediately. Overall, I would recommend the tea but be cautious when ordering the food!
