Awaken Coffee

I stopped in to Awaken Coffee for the first time on a snowy January morning. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff was very kind and glad to chat about coffee to this enthusiast. Awaken serves excellent coffee - I ordered an Americano, my standard for gauging quality of a coffee shop, and I was impressed. It was full bodied and rich - not too watery and not too rich. I would definitely recommend Awaken to a friend!

This is hands down the best coffee shop I have ever been to. I've tried coffee shops all over the US both chain shops and local shops and none can compare to Awaken Coffee shop. Top notch service and the most amazing drinks and artistry. Thank you so much for what you do.

I popped into Awaken several morning right when they opened. Staff were always nice to do drip, pour-over or French press if requested. Their usual drip is a nutty tasting light roast drinkable Guatemalan. If you're into something more fruit forward then consider their Ethiopian.

Very good coffee, with loads of options. I can personally recommend the chicory cold brew. Also, very nice location and atmosphere and staff.

As a veterinary student- one my FAVORITE study spots! Great atmosphere, fantastic coffee, and very comfty spots to study or just meet a friend for a coffee date. I love exploring all the local coffee shops Knoxville has- definitely recommend this place. And unlike the person who commented about WiFi being bad, I’ve never had a problem and I’m constantly on my tablet there for school. WiFi can drop at any place at any time- but it’s never occurred while I’ve been there, it’s been very reliable for me!

Bourbon-barrel cold brew is the absolute best! I added blackberry for a little extra zing. Hung out w/ friends for over 3 hrs, no pressure from the very friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

The place is so cool and chill, and they have some of the most inventive drink ideas! The service was great, the coffee was good, and they even have vegan options. I'm sold!

i only got an iced tea but it was really good and if i’m ever in town again, i would come here for sure. it has a really cozy atmosphere and wasn’t too crowded but it wasn’t like we were the only ones on here. also the staff is super nice

DELICIOUS coffee and espresso drinks with great, friendly service. Caleb is so great with customers and makes you feel just a warm welcome. They even have PALEO, gluten free baked goods! Huzzah!

I wish I could add an extra star because this place deserves it! As a new resident to Knoxville, I got lost downtown when my phone died. The man behind the counter not only offered me directions, but allowed me to borrow a charger and bring my dog inside. The coffee was amazing, probably some of the best I've ever had, and most definitely the best in Knoxville. I can't wait to go again! (and neither can my dog!) Amazing coffee, amazing atmosphere, and AMAZING SERVICE!
