Shareene was sweet and made us feel so welcomed. The sweet treats are all homemade and the Apple Fritter was the best I ever had. The coffee is also great and the amount of flavors you can mix and match is endless. Can't wait to stop here again.

The coffee and pastries were not only delicious, but the atmosphere was so welcoming! The owner (I think) was there working and serving with joy, love, and obvious care! I will definitely be back when I’m in knoxville. Must try!
A hidden gem by the highway! This charming little coffee shop is the perfect escape from the rush — cosy, quiet, and thoughtfully designed with warm, detailed interiors that make you want to linger. The coffee is excellent, the bites are fresh and satisfying, and the host greets you with genuine warmth. Ideal for a peaceful pit stop or a quick pick-me-up on the go.

Happened to stop here on our way out of Knoxville and so glad we did! You could feel how much love goes into every coffee and pastry. The quiche was amazing and the lavender cornbread was perfectly balanced. Thank you for the great send off.

Perk City is a charming yet trendy coffee spot, perfect for those who appreciate a smooth, flavorful brew. The owner offers an impressive variety of flavors to customize your coffee just the way you like it.
Like many small businesses, the shop faced challenges during COVID, losing employees and having to reduce hours. But despite the hardships, it persevered and remains a beloved local gem.
Beyond great coffee, Perk City serves homemade quiche and blueberry muffins—both delicious, though a bit on the pricey side.
The ambiance is warm, inviting, and rich with history, making it an ideal place to relax and unwind. Stop by and experience it for yourself—you won’t be disappointed!
Amazing coffee shop in surprising workaday location. Lovely proprietress makes all the tasty treats, including quiches. Top shelf coffee. Grand room with abundant comfortable seating options.
