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.

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.

They are often busy and today was no exception. Yet, the staff was very patient and friendly! I had no issues whatsoever. The coffee was delicious and the perfect temp (no lukewarm warm coffee here). The one downside can be the parking. Its street parking only and it fills up fast. It can be a little bit of a walk but not bad! There is accessible handicap parking near the entrance though. I hope you enjoy!

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.

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!

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!

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 ;)

K Brew was a very delightful space, filled with friendly baristas and patrons. I guess I'd come back and try some of the other drinks, and grab one of the tasty bagel sandwiches before I'd really write this place off. That being said, I ordered 2 sweet foam cold brews. The foam to cold brew ratio was off from the beginning, and I wished for more coffee than cold foam, but it was still rather acidic to me. Don't hate me for saying this, but I'd rather drink coffee from the Keurig than dish out the $15 I paid for two lack luster beverages. Don't shoot the messenger, maybe it's better on other days.
