    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.

    I enjoyed my brief visit to this coffee shop! It's right on the edge of downtown. I was coming from…read moreGatlinburg and just wanted a London fog latte so I came and got one. It wasn't as sweet as I expected (like if you order at Starbucks for eg) but the ambiance inside is excellent - they have tables and regular chairs but also couches and big soft chairs. I sat in a big soft chair and was very comfortable! They also have two clean bathrooms, i changed in there after hiking. There weren't enough hanging pegs but they were spacious so still good enough. The staff up front were quick and helpful! No trouble there. And there were a decent number of parking spots out back - that said, by the time I left, the lot was completely full. Not sure where else you could park in the area. Overall, if passing and needing a rest I would rec this spot! But I would try ordering something else besides a London fog ;)

It's a comfy space though a little small and by 10:00, it was starting to get crowded with laptop folks. I took that as my cue and headed onwards. But first, there was coffee (a cortado that was more like a flat white) and a bunch of time on their wifi. There is a parking lot in the back. If it's full there, it will be full inside.

The staff is great. They are super nice & pretty fast. The espresso is delicious. Though, I must admit that the flavor is diluted as a latte. I recommend an iced cappuccino if you prefer a coffee forward drink. I love it with the brown sugar syrup! I like trying the seasonal flavors, especially since they make syrups in house. My favorite right now (spring 2026) is the banana bread latte. Parking does get tight during peak hours, but something always opens up or you could try the neighboring lots if you're doing a quick stop.

The first day we came, the girls behind the counter weren't very nice. Well one of them was, the other wasn't very nice to me and I was kind of taking a minute to think. I wanted their strawberry matcha but they were out of strawberry (so sad). I got a brown sugar cortado instead and two bags of coffee for home. I also wanted a sticker but they were out. The cortado was delicious. Very good drink. My friend got a BOAT (brown sugar oatmilk latte) and that was also very good. I ordered a honey lavender matcha after and that was also very good! Great color on it! The next day we came & two guys were working the counter. They were nicer for whatever reason. I order another cortado. I also ordered first in my group and they actually forgot about my drink. The guy was super apologetic about it and we had a good laugh! I love cafe culture and this place has all the vibes with the really good coffee too! Just upset that they were out of strawberry and stickers

The atmosphere is bright, welcoming, and relaxing, with soaring vaulted ceilings, a gorgeous stone fireplace, plenty of natural light, and air conditioning that makes it the perfect place to escape the Tennessee heat. They even have a covered porch with fans and café lighting if you'd rather enjoy your coffee outside. The beachy Hawaiian vibe is unlike anything else around. It's peaceful, inviting, and a wonderful place to study, catch up with friends, work remotely, or simply unwind with a great cup of coffee. The coffee is outstanding. Mahalo roasts their own beans, and you can absolutely taste the difference. Every cup is smooth, rich, and full of flavor. My favorite is the decaf, which has delicious notes of cocoa and toasted marshmallow, but I've enjoyed several of their regular coffees too. They also offer great milk options, including Califia Farms almond and oat milk, along with traditional milk, cream, and other alternatives. The drive-thru is quick and convenient, making it easy to grab a coffee on the go, but I highly recommend spending a little time inside because the space is so inviting. Their merchandise is also adorable! The shirts, hats, mugs, and bags of freshly roasted coffee make it hard to leave without taking something home. If you're anywhere near Knoxville and looking for an incredible local coffee shop, Mahalo Coffee is absolutely worth the stop. Between the exceptional coffee, beautiful space, amazing staff, and genuine hospitality, it's the kind of place you'll want to visit again and again. Mahalo truly brings a little slice of Hawaii to East Tennessee. Highly recommend!
