While in Knoxville we found this cute coffee shop tucking into a small plaza. I love that it was…read moresuper easy to get to. Plus they had ample parking. Side note the walk up window was so cute. Immediately upon walking in I was in awe. The attention to detail in this shop was top tier design. The ladies working when we went were so sweet and very helpful. I also really love the swag that they have. I am kicking myself for not buying the denim hat! Now onto the coffee. I tried the Blueberry Crisp Latte. The notes of the blueberry were good. Not overpowering and just the right bit of top and bottom. I love to taste the flavor as a finishing note as well. My daughter had a Vanilla Frappe which she enjoyed. I definitely will return whenever I am in Knoxville.

We were driving while in Knoxville and searched for a good coffee shop nearby, and Summer Moon…read moreCoffee caught our attention. The space is surprisingly large, with a beautiful, inviting interior and a really nice atmosphere. I had never tried fire-roasted coffee before. I usually order a plain latte or cappuccino because I like to truly taste the coffee and appreciate its boldness without added flavors. The coffee here had a distinct smoky flavor, which personally wasn't my preference, but I definitely appreciated how unique and different it was. My husband ordered a vanilla latte and loved it! The service was great. A very friendly young lady took the time to explain the different coffee options and helped us understand what makes their coffee unique. The only thing I wish they offered was a little more variety in food. I was hoping for something like avocado toast or another healthier breakfast option rather than primarily baked goods. A beautiful coffee shop with great service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a unique take on coffee. Definitely worth trying, especially if you enjoy a smoky, fire-roasted flavor.

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 Empty Cup House is SUCH a cozy little spot! They have soooo many tables and chairs, and they're…read moreall different, which gives the place a really cute and unique vibe. 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!

Lost a star, (maybe should be 3 1/2 stars) because it took FOREVER to get 2 sandwiches. AND I was…read morethe only person there, with 3 employees. I went in on Sunday, about 11:15, because a friend let me have a bite of her Pistachio Croissant. It was sooo good I wanted to get a few (4). Sadly there were only two left. As I looked at the wall menu I thought the sandwiches sounded good, and I wouldn't have to cook lunch. Well I then ordered 2 Club Houses to go. (My mistake time wise) Again... I was the ONLY customer/person there. I stood around for 30min and noticed the two front end girls were lightly wiping a counter and as my momma would say, "puttering about". Nothing was said to me still standing at the counter. Finally I said 'is anyone making my sandwiches?' One girl said yes, the other girl went to the back to check. The decor is nice, but with a sore foot I wasn't interested in decor, not to forget HH (hungry hubby) was waiting in the car that warm day. The sandwiches when I finally got home to eat them were large and well packed with meat & cheese. They were good. The croissants were really good. BUT waiting 45 (yes Forty-five) minutes for two sandwiches in an empty restaurant was crazy!

I will repeat this as my palate was pleased with the offering. My spouse enjoyed his usual meal with lox and cream cheese although the capers all gathered on one end of crepe so he missed the saltiness in each bite.

Only possible draw back is the thumping gym music next door. Doesn't bother me, but ruin a more zen type. Customer service with a smile. Will stop by again when I'm around. Note. Some food offerings.

What is clear is that the quality remains firmly intact. The coffee is excellent--well-crafted, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Just as important, the atmosphere is warm and genuinely family-friendly, the kind of place that welcomes regulars, kids, and casual drop-ins without trying too hard to be trendy. Name changes can sometimes signal growing pains or reinvention, but in this case, the fundamentals are strong. Ugly Mug succeeds where it matters most: serving quality coffee in a comfortable, approachable setting that feels like a true local staple.
