South Press 3615 Chapman Highway, Knoxville, TN 37920

"I absolutely adore South Press! All of the workers are wonderful and create an amazing and welcoming atmosphere for everyone who walks through the doors. It’s one of the few coffee shops in Knoxville that has a super creative and vibrant space, making it a comfortable place to work and hang out. On top of it all, the food and drink is the best I’ve had anywhere. Everything is locally sourced, so you’re always supporting local business when you buy here. It’s my favorite coffee shop not just in Knoxville, but anywhere. Well deserving of a 5 star review!"

"I went to South Press for the first time to do some studying/homework, and I absolutely loved it! I was surprised by how many options for coffee and tea they had. I had their chai and a breakfast sandwich. The vibe was so cozy and inviting and all the decorations were so cute. I also love that they provide so many resources like the free pantry, a little library, some shelves to support small businesses, and a safe space for people. I will definitely be back ☺️"

"I loved this place so much it actually made me emotional. Besides the EXCELLENT atmosphere (no decorations have ever been more on point) and the kindest staff ever, the coffee was AWESOME and why?? did the bagel dragged through the garden taste so good???? Seriously, what was on that. It was hard not to simply inhale it. Please give it a go, you won't be disappointed. Also: so many comfortable and different places to sit. I loved every second I was there."

"This is the most welcoming cafe I've ever walked into. Everyone was so friendly and I didn't feel rushed while placing my order even though I looked over the menu and asked questions about their baked goods. My cinnamon bun and absolutely massive cappuccino came out quickly. The cinnamon bun was delicious and tasted fresh despite it being midday when I visited. I loved the home-y vibe of this place since you're not getting handed plain white coffee mugs for drinks. There's a ton of seating indoors and some outdoors as well. They have games, local-made art for sale, and have current local events posted when you walk in. I'd gladly come back here again if I'm ever in the area and highly recommend it!"
