Awaken Coffee

So cute! They have Milk Coffee. Their environment is super quite and easy to study. Make sure you don’t miss it because you’ll blink and walk past it! But the inside is inviting. It’s a great place to get work done. Not every coffee shop is like that!

Nice coffee shop, great drinks. Can be loud, so I do not recommend taking work calls here

Great coffee (get the honey bear!) and a great place to work from. Plenty of outlets and a quiet atmosphere.

I like the atmosphere and the coffee is great! The only critique I have is that they do not stay open very late. Because UT is so close by, many college students come here to study. It would be nice to go to a nice coffee shop, like this one, that stays open long enough to do homework after work, school, etc. Also, some of the workers are quite rude when it comes closing time. It makes the customers feel like they are a burden and that they have to rush out. But overall, it's a nice place to socialize with friends and enjoy good coffee.

This is such a comfy, warm coffee shop with lots of wood and nice seating for pairs to meet. They do sometimes run out of tea, but they have improved there ordering to ensure that doesn't happen. The baked goods are usually on point, which I appreciate. All the baristas are pretty much happy, helpful, wonderful people. Definitely worth stopping by to see if it's your kind of place.

My family and I originally discovered Awaken Coffee on an Elf the Shelf scavenger hunt. They make wonderful coffee (I love the Polar Bear Latte at Christmas time!). The frothy designs always make you want to take a photo. They have a wonderful atmosphere, very friendly people, and room to spread out and work. We stop by whenever we’re in the neighborhood.

Located in a sturdy old downtown building, this excellent coffee shop has great coffee and tasty locally sourced pastries. Friendly staff serve local clientele and travellers efficiently.

If you are travelling, beware Knoxville's fee-based parking. There is limited space on the street, but abundant space in public lots at $2 per hour.

Good atmosphere. Great coffee & food. Very friendly staff. The spicy sausage burrito will change your life. Seriously. Order one.

Randomly stopped by Awaken Coffee while driving through downtown Knoxville. I was completely amazed & awakened by their coffee. We'll be back!

Great spot for the occasional small meeting. Solid coffee and tea selection. Warm vibe.
