Golden Roast Coffee Roasters

The best coffee shop in Knoxville area. This a cozy place. The staff is really really good. The coffee is AWESOME!!! I highly recommend the southern pecan, this coffee is amazing. The cold brews are a really good option on the summer. You can order any coffee on the menu and I promise you won't be disappointed. You can also buy coffee beans there and have their coffee at home.

The photos were deceiving. I ordered a cappuccino and it was not good. The espresso was decent but the foam was terrible. I'm not sure about sugar drinks but if you're looking for good, traditional coffee drinks then this isn't your place. It should have been a sin that on a Saturday morning it was dead and nobody was here to hang out and get coffee.

It's easy to miss, since it is tucked into the corner of Cumberland Avenue, but if you're a college student then this place should be a second home. It is great for those times when the library is closed and work needs to get done. The environment is quiet and cozy, the coffee is good, the pricing is great, and there is internet. Granted, it's slow internet - but it's there. If you're not a student or affiliated with the university and are just looking for a coffee shop, this place may not be the best for you. Parking is a nightmare on the strip, and frankly there are other coffee shops to check out before this one. However, if you're determined to going to every coffee shop in Knoxville, then it is worth checking out. For students, professors, and anyone else who routinely makes the trip to campus - going to the Golden Roast for a Mocha or Americano during your break is a must.

The good- I had the Samocha which was a coconut mocha which was delicious. I ordered extra espresso as I usually do I love my coffee stronger. She immediately offered a little extra flavor and half n half in place of milk. She showed an understanding of the drinks she was making and did it all. The espresso looked nice coming out with a nice crema being formed. A+ drink! The bad- I discovered it by mistake is tucked back in on campus but that's probably because that's who is really meant for but if you want to bypass the chain on main and get up around the corner you'll find a far better coffee. The Ugly- the are not in Michigan Overall- nice atmosphere, though I took it to go, nice set up great coffee worth the explore to find it if you are not in campus to know where it's at.

I’ve been to this location three times. I’ve ordered the same drink every time and I have to say for $6 it’s garbage. 1. It just tasted like watered milk. No flavor. 2. Was worse than the first. Watered down flavorless latte 3. I had grounds in my cup. And not just a little. But a significant amount of grounds. The latte was so bitter I couldn’t drink it. For a $6 I am completely disappointed and won’t return.
