What People Are Saying
from Google"We visited early in out trip to Mountain City and I had to go again as we headed out. I'm a latte-cautious person (let me taste the coffee!) ... the pumpkin spice iced latte was incredible. Husband really liked the matcha as well. The homemade cream cheese spreads are delivered in a scoop on a plate (also love). And the building interior itself is gorgeous. Enjoyed their beans for pour over at camp 🏕 and will definitely order more."
"Stumbled on this gem. Staff is fantastic. The coffee (Bourbon pecan) was ONE of the best cups I've ever had. Then I see they make their own cream cheese flavors.. Bought some Apple Pie cream cheese... So good. Don't miss this local spot!!! PS Will you ship the Cream Cheese to CLT?"
"We stopped here for coffee and to get some work done. They have lots of different types of coffees and teas with lots of syrups and sugar free syrups as well as non-dairy milk! They also have bagels and cream cheeses."
"Know Better Coffee is an amazing place. The owners and their staff are very kind. Always helpful when you want to try something new. The building is gorgeous and so relaxing. Their coffee, espresso, cold brew and tea latte's are perfection. They make your drink with care to get it just the way you like it. There are delicious New York bagels with homemade specialty cream cheeses, amazing danish and muffins. I love this place and these people."
"Know Better Coffee has absolutely nailed it with their new space — warm, welcoming, and full of local charm. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and creative, making it just as easy to catch up with friends as it is to settle in with a good book or laptop. The coffee is consistently excellent — rich, smooth, and clearly made with care. You can tell they really know (and love!) what they’re doing. The staff are friendly and genuine, and the new setup feels like exactly what Mountain City needed: a fresh, modern space that still feels rooted in community. If you haven’t stopped by since they opened the new space, it’s definitely worth a visit. ☕️💛"
