Crema's Take

Tucked into a charming old house that genuinely feels like a neighbor's living room, Likewise Coffee excels at creating those rare spaces where you can linger for hours without feeling rushed. Will and Katie Boggs have built something special here—where thoughtfully pulled espresso drinks and warm bagels pair perfectly with the kind of genuine hospitality that makes you want to support their business, whether you're settling in with your laptop or meeting a friend for a real conversation. It's the sort of place that makes you believe a coffee shop can actually be a community gathering spot rather than just a caffeine transaction.

I love Likewise! So many cute & cozy corners to sip your coffee & they really seem to practice what they preach — loving their neighbors & showing up for their community 🙌 tasty & cute & kind? Five stars, duh.

Hands down my favorite coffee shop in Knoxville. It’s a great place to meet with people for work & to get things done. The owners are incredible, Will and Katie Boggs. I love knowing that my purchases are going towards their mission with Magnolia Ministries and the women of East Knoxville. I always order the seasonal drinks and a bagel with sausage, egg, and cheese and cream cheese on the side. DELICIOUS! The employees are friendly and the atmosphere is really great. There’s different rooms, great for meeting spaces or alone time and then you also can meet people in the community. 5 STARS no doubt. I love this place and the people who work here!

Likewise is definitely one of the better coffee shops in knoxville. I love the old house feel, feels like your literally in somebody’s house. Very comfortable to relax and get some work done. My only complaint is that it was very cold in some areas of the building. Besides that tho very nice atmosphere. The coffee and bagel was nothing crazy but it hit the spot. Would come back again. 👍 3.9/5

Coffee is delicious and they have really great bagels too. I've usually gone early in the mornings around when they open, but even when it's early the folks working are really friendly. It's a great place to sit and read/do work! The parking isn't the best depending on when you go, but besides that I do love coming here whenever I'm by this part of town

I really enjoyed Likewise. The staff was friendly and my cortado was very good. Had an everything bagel which was served warm without even asking. Lots of space and I left a good coffee to go.
