From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with genuine aloha and some of the…read morefriendliest staff you'll ever meet. 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!

Cute spot near downtown Knoxville…read more There's a decent amount of seating inside and there wasn't too many people ordering on a weekday morning. I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito and a coffee. The coffee was not too sweet and tasted great but I wouldnt say it was strong. The burrito came out nice and hot with a side of salsa. The salsa is a store bought salsa and I would've loved to see a homemade salsa instead. I'd definitely go back here again if I was in town for a quick filling breakfast.

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.

The staff was super friendly, the inside was super clean, all the things you'd hope for in a coffee shop. It was also nice to not feel herded along like you would at a Starbucks or donut shops that happen to sell coffee. I cannot vouch for any other flavors yet, I need more time to really get into it - see you soon! Get here!

Try: 1776! Why: I…read moreremember learning about this coffee company years back and always wanted to try so had a chance while visiting Pigeon Forge with the family. I really enjoyed the 1776 that has sea salt toffee, caramel and mocha. I have a sweet tooth and love coffee so it was a great match for me. I also tried the Horchata Latte, which was a bit watery and didn't have enough cinnamon and vanilla flavor for me. My family did enjoy their Black Coffee, Vanilla Cold Brew, and Green Tea. We wanted to try their Honey Chai but they ran out of Chai. Notes: We came in the morning and they were busy with line almost to the door. They managed through the long line fairly quickly with a person at register and two baristas making the coffee. Service was friendly and accurate given my families long list of orders. The Interior was decked out with veteran decor and merchandise. Overall, a solid coffee run to kick start our morning!

True, it's not huge, and therefore not necessarily the place to go and sit for hours. But if you're serious about good coffee, and about a coffee shop that understands both the art and the science of good espresso, then The Artistic Bean is absolutely the place to be. (The fact that they roast their own beans is the first hint!) The latte was a complete delight. After my first visit, I can say with certainty that I will be back. Some of the best coffee in Knoxville, hands down!!

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
