We spent an overnight near Knoxville and when we searched for a coffee house we landed on Awaken…read moreCoffee. The vibe is very cool; laid back and comfortable. I ordered a standard hot latte no added flavor just 2% milk. What I got was a full bodied, rich and smooth cup of coffee. The roast has no bitterness. Very enjoyable. My wife asked for something sweet hot and they recommended a latte with honey and cayenne. It was just right. Kick of heat and not too sweet. A surprising star of our visit was an apple tart! It paired so well with our coffees. It was fresh and a nice balance of crisp tart and warm apple. We also brought one of our dogs with us and Awaken is very pet friendly. There was also another pet owner chilling at a nearby table. Great stop. We highly recommend Awaken if you are in the area. Be advised that parking is paid in the area.

This was my last stop in Knoxville for some fuel before I went home. This is a cute little…read morecoffeeshop in a scenic part of town. It has nice large windows that overlook the street and seems like a great place to hang out and get some work done. Parking is a little bit of a struggle but it's to be expected in a denser area like this. I got their speciality honey bear latte iced. It was prepared quickly and was super yummy! The cinnamon and honey flavor was sweet and strong and it had a great ratio of coffee to milk. Would happily order again! My one complaint is service was kind of...icy? I dunno, the barista never approached or asked if I had any questions and just generally gave the vibe that she'd rather not be helping me. It didn't feel very welcoming, but she wasn't outright rude, either. Still, coffee is the most important thing, and in that regard they absolutely delivered!

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.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT GET THE ORANGE ESPRESSO TONIC ICED DRINK. It taste like vomit in a cup!…read moreAnd they would not exchange it for another drink that didn't taste like a sin to coffee. I guess they don't understand what good customer service looks like. However, the bourbon caramel latte was very good both hot and iced and the carrot cake muffin (don't remember the name of it) was also very good! I would have given them 5 stars if it wasn't for that awful tonic drink and bad service. It was a cute place, I would go back. I would just be careful trying fun drinks knowing how bad that seasonal one was.

What makes it even better is their mission. They partner with coffee growers in places like Haiti and invest back into those communities, so your coffee is actually doing some good too. Food and drinks are also on point. The "Mamba" is a spicy peanut butter spread on a bagel--simple but so good and a little different. I also loved the orange popsicle matcha--super refreshing and just fun. Great coffee, great space, and a spot you can feel good about supporting.

That's like saying…read moreMcDonalds never disappoints and in both cases you'd be correct if you're used to slop and don't expect better than slop so you're as happy as a pig when that's what you get. The coffee at Vienna is as high quality as it gets and there are many many varieties to choose from here. Their flagship VCH coffee is excellent, but their single origin roasts are what's truly unique tasting with bright, expressive flavors that never taste burnt or heavy handed. That fella is crazy for bringing up Starbucks lmao I'd as soon as make my own coffee at home then spend my money on Starbucks. Pretty sure he was a Californian, go figure. What you'll notice many other reviewers mention is the location. This is seriously the most impressive cafe I've ever seen, there are so many different rooms and areas to choose from, with sofas and couches and booths and tables to choose from. Many kinds of ambiance to choose from but it all feels cozy. I'm still laughing to myself about Mr California one-starring Vienna Coffee House because it ain't Starbucks lmao

Inside, it has a touch of 70's flair and midcentury pizzazz in a small but serene space. Seating is limited, with a few cozy seating spots and many bar seats and low-top tables. The wi-fi was rockin' and many outlets being put to good, techie use. The barista warmly greeted us and quickly got to work with our creations-a cold brew and a hot latte. There is a $1 upgrade for dairy alternatives and any sugar and sweetener is in a self-serve area, not added into the drink (although the barista asked me if that's okay, thus, I think she would have added if I preferred that). They have sugar and stevia, as an FYI for anyone who wants/needs a different option. They have a few baked treats and a few seasonal coffee flavors and add-in flavors and beyond that, the drink menu is simplistic. My latte was the creamiest, foamiest latte in all the land. The coffee itself was a touch more bitter than we like but we were able to doctor it up nicely with stevia. Cute spot with a lovely view of the surrounding, scenic neighborhood.

Our order: seasonal latte and cold brew…read more I typically am not one for foam but this latte got me. Beyond its beautiful aesthetics, the milky layer provided a rich and nutty sweetness that complemented the dark and earthy tones of the espresso. The cold brew was quite the adventure, taking in every layer, one at a time. What started out as subtle sweetness quickly turned into a cacao aroma and ended at citrus tartness. Small but mighty brick and mortar shop in a quaint neighborhood across from a church and lined with other local businesses. Bar stools, lounge chair, work bench, they've got it all. Certainly a hidden gem in residential Knoxville. So glad we stopped by!
