Coming Soon to South Knoxville
Stone’s Throw Coffee is coming soon.
A queer-owned coffee shop and community arts space opening soon in South Knoxville. We’re building a sober-friendly gathering place for good coffee, local art, author readings, acoustic music, mutual aid, and community care.
Just a Stone’s Throw away.
Tentatively opening September 1, 2026. We’re working toward the right South Knoxville home. Follow along for location, menu, and event announcements.
Menu preview
Handcrafted drinks, no fuss
Espresso, made kindly
Lattes, specialty lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, and Americanos — with one complimentary flavor included and whole milk, half and half, soy, oat, or almond milk available.
Chai, cocoa & classics
Chai, dirty chai, specialty teas, matcha, hot cocoa, iced coffee, drip coffee, and red eyes for the days that need an extra shot.
Chaga coffee
Chaga powder stirred into an iced latte for a smooth drink with a mild, earthy note. More about our chaga coffee →
On the calendar
More than coffee
Drag shows
A central part of our community: drag performances and showcases that celebrate queer artistry and bring people together.
Author readings & poetry
Local authors, Appalachian writers, queer writers, poetry, and book clubs.
Acoustic music & open mics
Singer-songwriters, small sets, and low-volume evening music made for conversation, not over it.
Art, makers & markets
Rotating local art on the walls, local vendor markets, and creative workshops.
Community nights
Queer community gatherings and sober-friendly evening events in an LGBTQIA2S+ affirming space. Everyone welcome, nobody pressured.
Help us open
We’re building this with you.
