Great place to get your coffee and / or energy drinks!!! Staff is super friendly! If you just want to hang out, their sitting area is big, and they have very comfortable chairs and couches.

Local treasure!! I brought my family here during their visit from the East Coast and it was a wonderful experience. Excellent coffee and a cool, relaxing atmosphere. Can't wait to try their Friday flights soon!

The owner was super kind and respectful. We were recording content and he was curious what we were doing. He just explained to be respectful of others and we got some AMAZING coffee!!! The location looks wonderful!!!

Stopped by before heading back to Seattle after a Gloria Trevi concert the night before- one of the lovely ladies working there had a t-shirt from the concert, so we started talking about the show. It created such a warm, welcoming, amazing environment, everyone interacted with us about the show and we got to see how much they care for their customers and their craft. The coffee and chai we got were THE BEST. If we are ever back in Kennewick this will be our first stop. It made an awesome end to an incredible weekend. Thank you Knots and Grounds!!!

I can't say enough great things about this perfect little local espresso coffee shop/cafe business. The coffee (anything you order) is outstanding. They strive to make every experience your most favorite one. No drink is too difficult for this team and they constantly have great specials or will suggest something that you will end up loving. The entire staff/team is professional, friendly, and so much fun and quick to get you served. They all work their tails off! Owner Kollin is the best. He is very supportive to his staff and strives to be the best, most competitive local coffee shop/cafe business in the Tri Cities. He has also remodeled the other half of the building so it is now available as a place to hang with friends (I had our bookclub meeting there), work, and he sometimes brings in local entertainment! Be sure to visit Knots & Grounds Espresso....it will become your new obsession! Thanks to all of you, you are fabulous!

I wish there was a Knots + Grounds on every corner in Tri-Cities. They have the friendliest staff & I’m always greeted with such kindness at the drive-thru. I’m a chai guy & they always craft the best drinks! I don’t live anyway near their location which is a testament to their quality & service ? HUGE shoutout to the owner & staff for creating an experience for their customers!!

I go to a lot of coffee places cuz I’m pretty picky about coffee. They make the best tasting coffee. I normally get iced americanos with heavy cream and flavor and they make it so good. It’s one of the few places I go to.

Worst coffee I have ever had - I thought I would give it a try; but I had to throw it away! If you are looking for an overpriced drink that tastes like garbage - then yes I would say to visit this establishment.

I would like to express my concerns regarding the recent recognition awarded to this business. It has come to my attention that the owner engaged in practices that may not align with ethical standards. Specifically, I observed that the owner was offering complimentary drinks and pastries in exchange for votes, which created an environment where many felt compelled to participate.

While it is understandable that businesses seek recognition, the approach taken by the owner raises questions about the integrity of the voting process. Furthermore, I have noticed that the business frequently opens late, and during my visits, I have overheard the owner making disparaging remarks about both former customers and current employees. Initially, I found this behavior somewhat amusing; however, I now believe it is imperative for the owner to be transparent about their management practices.

It is disheartening to see that other deserving businesses may be overlooked due to such practices. Customers, regardless of any incentives, deserve to be treated with respect, and the manner in which votes are solicited should reflect a commitment to ethical business conduct.

Additionally, it is unfortunate that numerous loyal customers and employees have felt compelled to leave due to a culture of harassment surrounding the voting process, which, regrettably, appears to have been effective once again this year- I wish no harm- this is more of clearing my conscience!

Update

I had high hopes for this local establishment, but my recent experiences have left me disappointed. The drinks I ordered tasted more like muddy sugar water on ice, which was quite unappetizing. When I asked Colin, the owner, for a bagel, I was informed it was stale—but that toasting it would fix the issue. Unfortunately, that was the last straw for me.

Despite my efforts to support a local business, I found that I could no longer tolerate the declining quality and service. My previous interactions and requests had already raised concerns, but this recent visit made it clear that I was simply wasting my money and patience. It’s unfortunate, as I wanted to enjoy my time there, but I will not be returning.
