    Very adorable coffee shop with great coffee flavors. The inside was quaint but a bit cold during the winter. There is ample seating with lots of couches and comfy chairs.

    This place is definitely a hidden gem! I love the recommendations from the barista in this establishment is connected to a nonprofit that helps less fortunate women. The coffee was amazing and atmosphere was ambient and I was able to finish a high-level test with no problem. Definitely recommend here as it is an old house converted into a business. Really cool spot.

    Nice spot. I dig the atmosphere. It was quiet and quant. The cold brew I got was/is really good. I will try a bagel and different beverage on my next visit. Parking is kinda tough but plenty of street parking on Gibbons.

    Like wise is a great coffee shop. The staff is so nice and amazing people. The coffee shop has a great environment. The coffee is always great. There are many places to sit and get whatever work you have or even enjoy time with your friends. The parking lot is on the other side of the barbershop across the street.

    This place is so cool! It's basically a house turned into a coffee shop! Multiple rooms to sit in and relax. Each has its own vibe. One of the best dirty chais I've had in awhile! The service was great and the croissant was huge and flaky!

    I visited Likewise last week when meeting a friend in the morning. There were several reasons this fairly new coffee shop stood out to me and I wanted to share them with you. Overall it is a fantastic place to try out and I love any business that is modeled to help someone in the community. Big Wins: 1.The space out back with picnic tables and other seating that is spread out and has shade. 2. The art displayed through the house that has been done by local young artist. 3. The old house that has been converted in to this cute coffee shop. Wins to be acknowledged: 1. The cleanliness of this shop! I felt clean and bright which is really important for me when I am consuming food somewhere. 2. The fun seating all around the downstairs of the house. Neutral: The coffee. This will be a big deal for some. I could take it or leave it. I wasn't overly impressed, but still enjoyed it. I did try a latte and it was VERY sweet. If you go this route and are not crazy about how sweet latte's get, maybe ask for half the pumps of syrup. There was one reasons that I decided to give this cute place 4 stars instead of five. It has to do with how quiet the inside was. While the space it SO CUTE, it lacked any subtle noise that helps cancel out any conversations. I was having a quiet conversation and we eventually moved outside because no matter how softly we spoke, it still felt like everyone around us was easily listening in. And I also felt like I was subject to listening to others as well. If someone were to bring children, or have a group meet together if felt like the noise would quickly get out of hand. Go try it out. Leave your review, too! I love reading everyone's perspectives. Thank you Likewise for how you serve the community.

    Such a cute vibe. It's a converted house into a coffee shop. Plenty of rooms for work or study. Seasonal drinks and basic drinks. We loved the inside. Plenty of natural light. Parking was a little hard to find but other than that super cute place.

    Outstanding little coffee shop on the East side of Knoxville. Cozy atmosphere with soft music, trendy decor, and all kinds of little nooks and crannies to enjoy your hot cup of joe, which by the way, is solid (I had a flat white). Definitely a cool place to chill, read a book, or get some work accomplished on the computer! Definitely recommend!

    Great products for very reasonable prices! Only $4 for a large iced coffee! I came to support an event for my community. All of the money from today is going to a great cause. Very VERY friendly staff!!!

    The mission based coffee houses are my favorite and the atmosphere was perfect for studying or small bible studies/ coffee dates.

The cozy, café-style atmosphere makes it perfect for a relaxed brunch or a casual lunch with friends. It's charming without feeling pretentious -- just simple, welcoming, and full of great smells coming from the kitchen. The crêpes are the real star. Whether you go sweet or savory, they're thin, perfectly cooked, and generously filled. The savory buckwheat galettes are hearty and flavorful, while the sweet crêpes hit that perfect balance of light and indulgent. Pair one with a good coffee and you've got an easy, satisfying meal. If you're in Knoxville and want something a little different from the usual brunch spots, The French Market is absolutely worth a visit. It's a local gem that keeps you coming back.

    We came on a very busy Saturday night (weekend of Dogwood Festival, theatre night, and prom…read morenight). Thankful to have a reservation, we were promptly seated while others with no reservation were being told three hour wait times. I loved the vibe of Tupelo, the hanging lush green plants on the side of the bustling kitchen, the cheerful staff and the lively music. Lizette was our server and she was just a darling. It was our first time here, and she was so helpful with her all of her recommendations. One of Lizette's favorites was the "Peach, don't kill my vibe" sangria. Which I just loved. I nice mix of peach and pineapple in a sangria. For our mains, we had the grilled harvest chicken and the chicken tenders. Both mains came with two sides. With my grilled harvest chicken, I got the mashed potatoes and the braised bacon green beans. The green beans were to die for, even my hubby was saying he should've ordered that as his side. The harvest chicken I loved--especially the sautéed spinach, red peppers and tomatoes on top. But if you can't handle spicy, this dish does have some heat to it. And we ended my birthday celebration with the heavenly banana pudding. It was heavenly in every way. Made in house, and so delicious that even my hubby ate it and he never cares for this dessert. If I could've licked that little bowl, I would've. We already cannot wait to come back and try some of the brunch items on their menu. We loved everything about Tupelo and hats off to Lizette for making our night even more special!!

    Soooo much goodness here!…read more Off the rip, it's super busy on the weekends, so if you do go--go straight to the bar. We got a quick seat & service!

The place had 2 customers silently sitting and maybe working on their computers but the whole place felt sterile and lifeless. I wasn't greeted and stood at the counter for a few minutes while the lone employee arranged items until I finally asked if I could order. I wanted to sample a variety- so I got an apple fritter, a snickerdoodle donut, a buttermilk old fashioned, and a blueberry Pączki. The apple fritter was the best of those 4. The snickerdoodle was just a traditional cinnamon sugar donut. The base was a bit dry yet also tasted oily. The buttermilk old fashioned had a similar greasy flavor and not the tang I'd expect from this type of donut. The Pączki was just a minimally filled jelly donut...and the dough was very greasy. Normally, the dough is more bready and has a more rich flavor. The ones I've always eaten in the past are heavily filled. This place seems like it has potential but it just lacks the quality or personality I'm looking for in a local gem. Nothing was awful but nothing was great either.
