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.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
