Capybara Coffee

Superb curation and prep - they even select micro lots and provide in house pour overs.

Wish they were open Sundays too.

I live in North Knoxville so I do not get to go as often as I would like. Their pastries are amazing! My favorites are the meat pies and the guava filled! I started out with their German hot chocolate and then their medium roast pour over coffee! I go on Saturday and meet my daughter there since it is half way between for both of us! The people are wonderful and if you enjoy trains you can watch them too while enjoying your coffee!

One of my favorite spots in Knoxville. They make wonderful speciality lattes and mochas. My latest obsession is their wildberry latte. I love their rewards system and it makes me eager to keep coming back.

The only eh feeling I have is how their whipped cream is weirdly oily?

I love this coffee shop. I go there routinely and it is always a wonderful experience. The owners are especially nice. They provide great service and they really care about their customers. If you are passing through Knoxville or are a new arrival at the University, stop by and try it out!

We had a great time playing battleship, drinking our lattes! Others worked on laptops.

Food/Drink quality for price: typical, but the lattes did come in great mugs on saucers on wooden slabs!

Atmosphere: lively

Noise level: not too loud, but covers silence

Lighting: lots of natural light in front

Staff: super friendly! One of them gave me great recommendations on which fountain pen to buy next (:

Cleanliness: yes! We stayed till closing and they were doing their thing in every corner and surface.

Seating: 4 comfy sofa chairs in middle, several tables for 2 or 4, a few high tables with stools and a front high bar at the window.

Didn't look for outlets or check the WiFi here, but all the others working on laptops seemed content with whatever was there.

Car parking: along street

Posting this a second time to create more awareness.
I was in this coffee shop recently, and was aggressively told to never return by one of the employees as I was leaving. From what I understood, this was due to me sitting in the coffee shop with a work associate and neglecting to purchase anything. If I had known that you all prohibited people from doing so, I would have left. I would have appreciated you communicating that to me in a respectful and non-hostile manner. Instead, the language and tone used when speaking to me was uncalled for and very threatening. The employee did also make physical contact with me by grabbing my jacket when asking me to leave which was extremely inappropriate and over-the-line. He gravely invaded my personal space and I will never come back to this place. If he had engaged me any further I would consider speaking to law enforcement. I strongly advise everyone to not use this place as a work/study area if you are not planning on purchasing some of their coffee.

The male owner of this establishment has severe anger problems that will ultimately get him arrested or his business shut down. I will never come back here and I will do my best to make sure everyone I know never comes back here.

Super friendly staff great coffee

Did you know all the beans are from coffee farms in Brazil? They do a great job roasting to make a solid cup of Joe: earthy and smooth. Pastry was delicious. Espresso drink was nice.
Great location with close and easy parking. Casual atmosphere accentuated by the warm owners. Looking forward to coming back for a micro lot pour over.

Best place for coffee in Knoxville. They offer the best service and show the most commitment for offering a great product. Coffee always taste great! Nice atmosphere too!

Anyone leaving a review below 4-stars probably was having a bad day or went in with expectations of Starbucks standards.
