CommonPlace Coffee + Community

GO TO coffeeplace in knoxville. Its so unique and comforting that it creates the perfect ambiance to get some coffee and study or play a board game or just even hangout. On top of that their coffee is excellent, they make all their syrups homemade. I have not tried their food but it looked good. Overall is just a cool location that you have to check out. 4.5/5

On a road trip through Tennessee and stopped here for breakfast. The shop is so cozy and quiet. The staff were attentive, accommodating, and quick. I had a hand and egg croissant with a cinnamon roll and black coffee. It was all fantastic. This place is the perfect coffee shop.

Love this spot. They have a community board, lots of seats and work space, great food/coffee, and friendly service. They always bring your food and drinks to you which I think is nice. That way you can order and just get comfy and start on your work.

CommonPlace is my favorite coffee shop in Knox!! They have delicious lattes with creative seasonal flavors that they make in-house. I love how they are very community-oriented, hosting cool events like yoga and little small-business pop-up shops, making it more than just a coffee shop. They also have a wall where you can “take a mug, leave a mug” where I have found some of my favorite mugs:). Each staff member is also very friendly and helpful every time I go in! Annie is especially always so kind and personable. I love that the staff will bring your food and drinks out to you so that it will be served fresh. The owner, Eli, is also always making sure his guests have a great experience and feel welcomed. He did a wonderful job creatively turning an old bank into a comfy spot with cool features, like a room called “The Vault” and even a drive-thru. Highly recommend stopping by!!

This is one of those places that is unique because it has a very pleasant and calming environment. The food and drinks are great and fresh. The workers are very kind and patient. Plus, I love the very creative decorations and spots. I love the vault!. It had two private rooms that are fantastic if you need to be away and quiet to concentrate. They also have tables, regular chairs and couches and chairs that are more home like. All in all, I highly recommend this place. Every time I'm in the area I try to go there..

Such a gem of a coffee shop! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for catching up with a friend, getting some work done, or just relaxing with a great cup of coffee. The drinks are always crafted with care, and the pastries are fresh and delicious every time. What really sets this place apart is the vibe. It feels like a true neighborhood spot where you're genuinely welcomed. The staff is kind, thoughtful, and attentive without being overbearing. If you're looking for a place with good energy, excellent coffee, and a peaceful setting, this is it. So glad to have this little haven on Chapman.

I came in around 2:00 in the afternoon to ask about posting a flyer and to try the coffee. Ian (the owner) was behind the counter and was very friendly. I noticed a yoga class on Tuesday nights posted on their events board and he was happy to answer all of my questions about it. My coffee was great! I drink it black and got an iced Americano. The business was clean and well-kept inside and outside. Definitely an impressive visit!

This is one of my all time favorite coffee shops! I love the diversity of seating you can have! Great for social coffee outings, study days, and even board game days! Their parking lot is also large and easily accessible because they have a stop light at it too. The staff here is super friendly and always willing to entertain guesses as to their winter candy cane challenge. This place is family owned and they are so kind! Overall I also really like both their plain coffee and their specialty drinks! My personal favorite is the Silk Road!
