I’d been hear­ing rave reviews about the new Rem­edy Cof­fee since it opened just a few weeks ago…and finally I man­aged to make my way down there last week. I must say, this place is awesome!

It has the Down­town Knoxville cof­fee shop feel that I love, with big comfy leather couches, exposed brick walls, giant win­dows, and an upstairs loft for small meet­ings and study groups (make sure you take advan­tage of the free WiFi). And the best part — the chai latte and the pump­kin muf­fin I ordered were delicious!

The pric­ing is com­pa­ra­ble to that of Star­bucks (about $6 for my chai and muffin)…BUT Rem­edy donates 100% of after-tax pro­ceeds to char­i­ties like Habi­tat for Human­ity, Tribe One and Beard­s­ley Farm. Talk about generosity!

On top of donat­ing every sin­gle penny of their profit help­ing the Knoxville com­mu­nity, Rem­edy also brews only 100% organic and direct trade cer­ti­fied cof­fee, which helps ensure a fair wage for cof­fee farm­ers and their fam­i­lies as well thriv­ing and healthy farms.

Rem­edy is owned by Knoxville Life Church and is located in the Old City at 125 W. Jack­son Avenue. The shop is open Monday-Friday (7:00am –10:00pm) and Sat­ur­day (8:00am — 10:00pm). It’s closed on Sunday.
