Intrepid Nitro Coffee and Tea Bar
5201 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN
Crema's Take
“Intrepid Nitro Coffee and Tea Bar is a rare gem where you'll find genuinely excellent nitro cold brew on tap alongside thoughtfully crafted cappuccinos and creative seasonal drinks like their bourbon-infused espresso—all served by staff who genuinely seem to know how to read what you need in that moment. The whole operation radiates warmth, from the immaculate space that welcomes dogs and toddlers alike to owners who clearly pour themselves into making each visit feel personal rather than transactional. It's the kind of place where you're not just getting good coffee, you're getting cared for.”

Here to add to the abundant positive reviews🥰 my toddler and I felt so welcomed, accommodated, and taken care of this morning by the staff. And if you have brought your toddler to a coffee shop, you know how unusual this is!! The barista made him a gently warmed steamed milk and a delicious iced matcha for myself. The positive energy and hospitality is unmatched here💛
This place has amazing Nitro coffee on tap. It’s so hard to find locally made nitro and this place doesn’t disappoint. They have always a light, medium, and dark roast option that you can style anyway you would like. This place is a gem in the Knoxville area and is a must stop on a busy street. Highly recommend going there! 5/5
Love this little coffee cafe. Everyone there is so friendly and so helpful. It is always clean. I love that we can bring our pup, Martini, with us. Popped in again today and was helped by Sarah. She was just so accommodating and pleasant. We had some time to kill between doctor appointments, so we had a very yummy almond croissant, which We asked to have heated up, and Sarah was happy to accommodate us. My hubs is surprisingly picky about his Americano, and they do it just to his liking. I usually have a chai tea and it is always creamy and delicious. Would highly recommend
Best Cappuccino I have had since being in knoxville. Highly recommend if in need of actaul good coffee. I tried their single barrel bourbon infused espresso in a cappuccino and if they still have it i would HIGHLY recommend. Nice little place and I know they do A LOT drinks so their is definitely something for everyone 4.5/5
The owners are absolutely incredible! They “read” you and know exactly what to curate that is somehow exactly what you need in that moment. The creativity, positivity, and personal touch make for the most INCREDIBLE experience you will ever have. The ambiance of the shop is also cozy and inviting. 10/10!!!!!!
