Rocky Top Roast & Reads is a coffee shop and bookstore. R&R has been providing craft coffee and good reads that enriches the lives of customers since our doors opened in 2023. After graduating college at The University of Tennessee in Knoxville, a group of friends wanted to create a safe space for students, faculty, and the Knoxville area to be able to gather and share their love for good coffee and good books! That’s where the idea of a coffee shop and bookstore came from.
At R&R, we pride ourselves in hospitality, generous teamwork, and work ethic. Sense of community is important to us at R&R. Coffee shops occupy an important space in many of our lives. We hope to provide a space that is able to satisfy your needs, whether that’s socializing, resting, reading, or working. Our team strives to make every guest who walks through our doors feel like they belong here. We want our space to feel welcoming to all. We hope to put a smile on every guest’s face with our sincere generosity and customer service.
