Partial Cafe — Restaurant in Knoxville

This review is long overdue, I love visiting Partial! Every time I walk in, I am greeted with a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The decor is modern yet cozy, making it the perfect spot to relax, work, or catch up with friends.

The coffee is outstanding and each cup is brewed to perfection. They have all the classics to choose from (pour over, espresso, cappuccino, latte, etc) which you can tailor with delightful seasonal flavors. Partial also offers tea and delicious pastries that are freshly made by a local Knoxville bakery. My recent two favorite drinks from here are the blueberry latte and masala chai, they’re perfectly balanced and not overly sweet like the sugary junk at some big chain coffee shops. Bonus points that they don’t upcharge for milk substitutes!

What really sets Partial apart is the exceptional service. The baristas Shay (owner) and Murph are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about coffee. They take the time to make sure your drink is exactly how you like it and are always ready with a recommendation if you're feeling indecisive or adventurous.

While Partial doesn’t have wine offerings just yet, I know they’re going to knock that part out of the park too with their care for their craft and commitment to quality.

I can't say enough good things about Partial Coffee & Wine. It's a gem in our community and a must-visit for any...

Partial is a truly special addition to Knoxville. This isn’t just a café—it’s a space filled with passion, care, and a deep respect for their craft and the people behind it. The focus on creative producers, sustainable practices, and collaboration shines through in every cup. Their coffee is exceptional and reflects a genuine love for what they do.

Knowing they prioritize livable wages, career development, and ethical sourcing makes the experience even more meaningful. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a rotating menu that keeps things fresh and exciting. You can tell they’re eager to share their favorites while embracing what you enjoy, creating a personal connection with every visit.

If you love coffee and value thoughtful, intentional service, you’ll absolutely love it here. This is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates...

Not sure what the hype is, tried to understand what people were describing/feeling here but it wasn’t all that. Review must be a culmination of friends and family. The coffee was good but nothing special or extraordinary. Service was good, the pastries overpriced and not great. My biggest gripe was parking. I circled the business 5-6 times with no clue where to park, no signs on the building itself to indicate where to go. I thought I’d give them a call, no number on google, I thought I’d check their website, no contact information to be found. Every nearby lot had no parking signs combined with homeless or drug addicts staring us down. Won’t be back for...
