Featured Roast

Inspired by the scrappy yet playful nature of the street cats in Southern Italy, Calico is our first and most versatile blend. With notes of dark chocolate and stone fruit, this South American and East African blend is perfectly balanced for any brewing method, from espresso to drip coffee. You can expect a rich body, with a sweet fruity finish.

The Secret Sauce

Mia Piccola is unlike any coffee shop in Knoxville, TN, you’ve ever seen. Here’s our Krabby Patty secret formula for how we stay trending as a cafe natives love.

Coffee

Roasting with Nomad Coffee, we’re obsessed with quality and ensure you have the best lattes and espresso in town. We make our specialty brews with you in mind.

Good Vibes

Jumpsuits, graffiti, and friendly baristas aren’t just a party trick. They’re what make Mia Piccola who we are. Our customers feel better leaving our doors than when they walked in.

Community

At the end of the day, coffee brings people together. That’s why we foster relationships with each customer we meet and host events, groups, and festivals as often as possible.

"Coffee is the great incentivizer in the office. It's a drug. It is quite literally a drug that speeds people up.”

Korrie Shell
Cute little spot to grab a coffee or latte before starting the day, or even the middle of the day for a pick me up. Takes time to make it right and takes pride in the work he does!

Matt Blum
“Delicious flat whites and my partner loves the chocolate iced coffees. Nathan remembers a lot of his regulars and their orders.”

Hudson Perrine
“Coffee as good as the jumpsuits.”
