5 Knoxville Coffee Shops You Must Visit
Sophie Siepmann

I moved to Knoxville about a month ago, and my favorite part so far is exploring. While on my excursions around town, I came across a few coffee shops I wish I could spend every day in. Check them out!



1. Backroads Market and Design

Not only can you enjoy a cup of coffee and a simple yet delicious toast from the menu, you can shop and explore the vintage home goods and glorious candle scents offered. You are guaranteed to want every single thing in the store. A personal favorite - the hanging porch bed. One of the cutest local coffee shops I've been to yet - a must.


2. The Blue Mason Coffeehouse

Only a few seconds away from Backroads, Blue Mason is a cozy little coffee shop with great drink options including my favorite- the Lavender Latte, and the Peanut Butter Latte. Also, all iced beverages are served in, fittingly, blue mason jars. River Sports outdoors, an essential outdoors store for anyone with an adventurous soul, is right behind Blue Mason. A perfect combination for a Saturday excursion.

3. Awaken Coffee

Awaken Coffee lies in the heart of Old City. It's open until 11p.m. on some days, so it's perfect for a late study night. There is a church tucked away in the back of this shop, a great use of space and a perfect way to end a church service is with a great cup of coffee.The coffee is unlike any other in Knoxville, as Awaken is the only coffee shop to provide Quills Coffee from Louisville, KY. Every experience at Awaken Coffee is unique.

4. Remedy Coffee

Remedy Coffee has a simple yet perfect menu. The coffee is out of this world, however you take it. With exposed ceilings and modern furniture and hip alternative music always playing, Remedy is a great place to enjoy a cappuccino (so good here) with a few lovely people and engage in great conversation. There's a "coffee & conversation" mural that is a perfect photo-op for your latest Instagram. If you're in the mood for a treat, you can walk a few feet to Makers Donuts. These donuts are the best I've ever had and worth the splurge.


5. K-Brew

Knoxville is a 10/10 for atmosphere. With a little semi-outdoor area with several hammocks set up for you to enjoy a cup of coffee while you study or enjoy the company and conversation of a few buddies. The coffee is stellar and the baristas are so kind. A go-to for lots of UT students and must try for everyone.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
