Crema's Take
“Noble Kava is a welcoming sanctuary in Knoxville that goes far beyond typical coffee shop vibes, specializing in kava and kratom drinks with knowledgeable staff who genuinely guide newcomers through their first experiences. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of being cozy enough for solo contemplation or deep conversations—complete with free games and a smoke-free environment—making it an ideal refuge for people seeking community without the intensity of traditional bars. Regulars rave about the generous portions, fair pricing, and the warm hospitality of the kava-tenders, particularly their ability to make every visitor feel welcomed and cared for.”

Ashley was such a good host! I really enjoyed this experience and felt so welcomed. Thank you for such a nice treat! I’ll be back 💚
I took a chance on this place when I was dealing with isolation and personal troubles and wanted a distraction, I couldn’t handle alcohol bars and they crowds at those places weren’t right for me. My first day here I was greeted by a super friendly Erin, one of their Kavatenders, she explained what their products were and gave me a free sample, the regular customers at the bar were friendly and helped me get comfortable and have fun, that first impression stuck with me and I’ve been a regular ever since. The drinks are great and they work, they have a variety of choices for everyone, but at this point I come here for the people, not the drinks. I made so many friends and memories here and it’s one of the few places where I feel like I belong and I’m truly welcome. They host emotional sobriety meetings on Wednesdays 7:30 pm and they help many people with their struggles too. Honestly this place changed my life. Everyone here from the staff to the customers to the dogs is amazing, and it’s a true hidden gem in knoxville.
Been a regular here for about 6 months now. Absolutely love this place. The vibe and culture is so welcoming. All the kava-tenders are awesome! Erin is one and has the best personality for the job here and very well may be one of the first people you speak to. If you’re new, she does a great job at introducing you to the drinks. Ashley makes the vibe here so fun on her days Mon-Wed typically and people love chilling with her! And Heidi has some of the best customer service on her time which is so appreciated. Absolutely love hanging with all of them!
Being a veteran of the kava community, visiting Knoxville with only 2 real bars in the area, I had my doubts. Noble surprised me. Portion sizes, strengthen, and prices were among the best I've seen on the east coast for what you get. Instantly greeted by the owner and answered all questions without hesitation, and provided a complimentary kava shot for my first visit. The kava portion for a single was a good amount (much more than others I've been too). Taste is good, as well as the strength 💪🏻. Kratom is offered in small size and large (16oz) sizes, with multiple mocktail variations. I decided on the Kratom Mule, which blends kratom, with ginger beer, with hints of citrus. Powerful mule, and great price point. More kava bars should follow suit to Noble if they want continued customers, instead of hiking up prices.
I’m in love with this place. The workers are very knowledgeable in leading you on your first journeys with kava or kratom. The atmosphere is phenomenal, FREE GAMES, no cigarette smoking inside love that. 10000000/10 I will definitely be back ! & LOVE the doggos so sweet & nice bonus to coming ☺️
