I had the coconut chai and lemon berry muffin (warmed). The consumables were delicious!! The service and atmosphere were equally great. This is a great place to hangout and meet with friends or bring your headphones and escape into a book or podcast while enjoying your food. There is a drive-thru if you're in a hurry but I recommend coming when you have time to relax at one of their many tables or couches.
Good coffee, but the sizes seem small. Their large is a 12oz for an Iced coffee and it was around $6. I feel like thats high. Drive thru could be a bit faster as well. If you're going to have one, clear those cars, especially for the typical morning rush.Edit: Apparently the cups are 20oz, but once you see one you'll think it's a 12oz.
Nice, laid-back and comfortable atmosphere. Great for working/studying/meeting up with friends. Super kid-friendly (I think they had a kid play room at one point but not sure if it's back since the pandemic). Staff is super friendly. However, the coffee itself is just okay compared to other local coffee spots in Knoxville. If you're a coffee connoisseur, this is not the spot for you.
I am not a big coffee drinker, but found this hidden gem near work when I needed a pick-me-up. Great chill atmosphere, my coffee was exactly what I didn't know I always wanted - the barista seemed to know exactly what to make based on my vague description of coffee needs. The scone was pretty good, too. Only complaint is that they are not open the rest of the day. Great place to take your laptop and get work done, even if it is only half a day. There is a piano as well.
This place was hopping (i.e. students doing group studies, adults doing remote work, senior group knitting, friends conversing, etc). It would be beneficial for some noise absorption panels as it can get pretty loud.It took a solid 20 minutes to get my pour over medium roast with oak milk and a mixed berry scone. I wasn't a big fan of the coffee. The scone was a little dry for my liking and also small in size for its listed price. The staff were nice and welcoming. The establishment appeared clean.
Cute little coffee place, a lot of seating, very friendly staff great drinks!
These amazing ladies fixed me up so perfectly this morning, in my time of need! Our Keurig died last night, and I had a very important video interview to attend today. I needed to get caffeinated without taking time away from my interview prep.I don't like the hassle of going to Starbucks, nor their overhyped coffee. I gave Empty Cup a call, explained my desperation and need for a LOT of coffee, and they had a 96-ounce carton of liquid gold waiting for me in about 15 minutes.Go give these wonderful people your business. Aside from the excellent customer service, the coffee is PERFECTION - delicious. I can't wait to drink more of it from my carton tomorrow morning.THANK YOU, EMPTY CUP LOVELIES!!
These folks are some genuinely nice people. I went by there for lunch today and tried their coffee flight. It was so great that I ended up getting another medium coffee to go.
The absolute best cup of chai latte ever! Wayyyy better than Starbucks. I live that they have a drive thru window and also options for ice cream and muffins. The environment is cozy and spacious. The employees are friendly. I will DEFINITELY be going back very soon. Amazing!
Such a cute place! Not to mention the incredible coffee and scone selection. I had a pecan pie au lait with soy milk and a gluten free/vegan chocolate chip scone. Both were some of the best coffee shop treats I've ever had.The baristas we're incredibly friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is just as cozy and inviting. An absolute gem of an unexpected place outside of Knoxville!
