Old City Java

I stumbled upon this by accident. The coffee shop I was wanting to go to was closed. But wow, what a gem! The interior was unique and preserved well. And the latte was extremely smooth! I’ll definitely be coming back here

We loved this place! The staff was super friendly and helpful and the coffee was great! But the star of the show were the pastries! They were absolutely incredible!

This was my first stop in Knoxville. I love this space! If I lived here, I'd be a regular! Good coffee and treats!

I had been wanting to try this place for a while, but between being newer to Knoxville & COVID-19 restrictions, it took so long to get to. I finally did, but it was alright. Their handmade pies are super delicious. They’re coffee is alright, but a tad higher than other similar coffees. My biggest reason for the 3 stars is the complexity of ordering from here. You have to do online ordering only. They have the option for curbside pick-up, but I had to call to double check, & it seemed they wouldn’t have known, despite me clicking that option online. I don’t know. I just feel like there’s an easier way to order. I understand we all want to be safe during the pandemic, but I feel like there could be a way to make ordering a littler easier. I think it’d be much better if they allowed indoor ordering with limited capacity, & no dine-in.

This is my new favorite coffee spot to visit. They have an oat milk option that definitely changes the way the drinks taste which works really well. Their latte and vanilla latte are very smooth and rich in flavor. Their America is really good. The temperatures the drinks are served at are adequate and not burning hot. The environment is upbeat yet relaxing. I love the art work they display and the colors of their walls. It's spacious despite the initial appearance. This is a great place to visit & get some work done while you're at it. Plus the location is great.

We've been trying out so many coffee shops while visiting Tennessee and I was super impressed by this place. I used to come here all the time before I moved to LA and it's one of a few places that still holds up. The espresso and milk texture were great. Definitely would recommend to anyone. Side note: The pastries are great, but the chocolate chip cookie is the greatest. 🙌🏼

I was in Knoxville for a couple of days for work and stopped here a few times - the coffee is delicious and the aesthetic is just the right balance of gritty, elegant and comfortable. The spot is divided into two halves as of it was originally two shops made into one so there is plenty of seating for reading, work or chit-chat. It's located on a the corner of an alley with fantastic graffiti art and bistro tables for outdoor seating. The coffee is really good, serving a very palatable flavor profile that's not too acidic or over-roasted...it's simple and delicious

They serve up a delicious triple shot latte with almond milk and berry hand pie.

Super cool place, I loved the ceiling art, water station, etc. that were all classy touches. And the oatmeal bar was so tasty!!!

Great service, great espresso, and an amazing little hangout!
