Highly recommend this coffee shop. Service was excellent and drinks were superb. There aren't many places you can go nowadays where you can get an actual mug while dining at a cafe. Thank you Capybara!

Capybara is in a great location near campus and a nice spot to meet or study.

However, the staff is extremely rigid about orders and doesn’t allow customization. I like espresso with just a few ounces of milk and often order iced cortados at other coffee shops, but was told they could only make it hot and they wouldn’t accommodate me to get my desired drink. Another time, I ordered a V60 with a light roast and was told I had to either get a medium roast or switch to a Chemex, which was more expensive. My friend wanted honey in her cappuccino, and they wouldn’t allow that either. Another friend ordered a spiced apple cider chai with whole milk but was told she had to get oat milk instead.

They also told my friend she couldn’t sit and work before ordering, which added to the unwelcoming vibe.

I understand they have preferences for how their drinks should be made, but reasonable customizations should be allowed. It would go a long way if they offered alternatives or worked with customers instead of flatly refusing requests.

The best coffee shop in Knoxville. To counter a previous poor review, the owners are in fact Brazilian. No cultural appropriation happening here. The coffee is high-quality, sourced from Brazil, and always consistent. The barista’s go through an extensive training process to be the best at what they do. 10/10 experiences experience.

Their coffee isn’t the only thing that’s great, they have an amazing selection of teas. I have yet to try one I didn’t like! The staff and owners are always wonderful and friendly. It’s the perfect place to study or meet with friends. Just try it. You won’t regret it!

First time coming here and the service was excellent. The coffee was good and bathrooms were clean. Plenty of parking in front or parking garage right behind it with a door that connects directly to it!

This has become my favorite coffeeshop. The staff are so warm and friendly and the atmosphere is cute. Best chai in town, it doesn't taste watered down like other places. They have excellent baked goods too.

My new favorite coffee shop in Knoxville. The lavender latte is wonderful and I also love the morning glory muffin! On a nice day, it’s nice to bring my laptop and work at one of the outside tables.

We did the After Dark exotics experience and Rachel was AMAZING. So knowledgeable and the animals were clearly very loved and well cared for. Definitely coming back for the Lemur experience! Mike was awesome and encouraged us to use the Photo Booth which was really cute. 10/10 recommend this non profit.

This isn't just the best coffee in Knoxville... it's the best coffee in the world! The staff and owners are top notch. Best place to buy bagged coffee also! Send it as a gift!
