Amazing coffee and drinks. They are passionate about 2 things, Coffee and You. The only coffee shop I have been that treats you like family and provides a safe environment to have meets or to do work or just to relax. They have a passion for coffee, you wont be disappointed. They roast their own beans and are always making new roast and striving for excellence. I highly recommend Knowledge Perk for your next coffee experience.
The coffee is tasty. The barista staff could use more training on customer service.Edit: Owner approached me and cleared things up. Really appreciate the initiative taken to make things better.
The staff is always so nice and the coffee is great! As is the norm, you pay a little more for the higher quality, but its worth it. If you cant decide what you want to eat, the cinnamon roll is a popular favorite. My personal favorite is the chocolate croissant. They also have a really good rewards program!
The best coffee shop around! They roast their coffee fresh in shop and have excellent food. Atmosphere is perfect. Great place to hang out, study, have a meeting, etc. The back alley has a cool mural and is shared with the businesses next door. The history of the building is really neat too. Customer service is first class. Must try!
Anyone that knows me knows I love Knowledge Perk. Their french vanilla latte is my favorite coffee drink Ive ever had. Their atmosphere has me coming back multiple times a week. Im moving out of state soon, and honestly will miss Knowledge Perk more than anything. If you havent tried it yet, youre missing out. I just love this place.
Consistently great coffee, very reasonable prices. I highly recommend.
Great place to visit for coffee and delicious cinnamon rolls! First time here, invited by my sister. Lovely coffee shop atmosphere with a neat little stage setup to the left of the entrance. :)The chai tea latte was super nice.
Fantastic Coffee and Great staff.. Location is impressive 👏
Wonderful Coffee, Amazing Staff, and a very neat little Cafe, inside and out!
Delicious pastry. Excellent coffee. Friendly professional service. Great vibe. Love the architectural features. Plenty of seating and a small stage for performers. New favorite coffee spot.
Wonderful coffee and pastries and excellent service! Everyone was so nice and it was a great environment. They clearly care about the craft of their coffee.
Enjoyed my tea Au Lait and the chai iced perk! Modern rustic appeal!
Fantastic coffee! Baristas are very friendly and knowledgeable. The space they have is also really nice, will continue to return many times over!
Such a great atmosphere! The coffee is amazing as well!
THE COOLEST COFFEE SHOP WE HAVE EVER SEEN(having traveled to 30+ countries, it says a lot). We loved the industrial look of brick, metal, exposed duct work and electrical on the ceiling. They brew their own coffee and you can go watch as they work. Great coffee done as it should be. They also have individual roasters where you can come and roast your own coffee and classes to help you. We were welcomed and given information by Kevin, who is so welcoming and friendly. Just moved to their area; can’t wait to make this our regular coffee shop to hang out at. They normally have live music, but not right now during COVID.
Excellent service, friendly staff, and amazing coffee. Whats not to love?
Good coffee..better than Starbucks in my opinion..nice atmosphere and very nice and friendly crew..they have my business!!
Most of the time its a good place to meet, drink coffee, and work. But Wednesdays, we are ran out by the church service.
Best coffee in Rock Hill! Hands down! Their regular brewed coffees and specialty drinks are all delicious! They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating, tables are spread at least 6 feet apart from other tables, and its very clear which tables are clean and dirty. Very clean and safe! Staff is very friendly and helpful! Dont waste your time going to Starbucks or other chain coffee shops... Come here and support this great local business instead!
My new favorite coffee shop...the muffin was the best Ive ever had...looking forward to returning!
I imagine the coffee is good but couldn’t tell over the amount of syrup in my pumpkin spice latte. I called back because of it and was told they use 2 pumps of pumpkin and 1of vanilla in a small. Be forewarned, if you don’t like it sickeningly sweet, you may want to ask for less syrup.
Great hangout! I love the atmosphere and the garage door opening to bring the outside in. I’m a big fan of the medium roast, but they have some other great drinks too and ever-changing specials. They even have a conference room for rent for a very reasonable rate! Bonus!
Nice looking locatin. Spacious with plenty of seating. Good coffee, but incredibly expensive compared to other coffee shops in the area.
Not to be dramatic, but the barista just made me the best iced Americano Ive had. 4/5 stars bc my Danish was soft & squishy, not crispy.
Awesome small town shop. Totally unexpected experience. Roaster, roasting classes just a top notch shop. Definitely worth a visit.
The quality of the people and the coffee here are both top-notch! We love it here!
This is a great place for exceptional coffee and tasty pastries. Love the wide open, warehouse that somehow manages to feel cozy.
Great coffee, friendly staff, fun atmosphere.
I don’t like coffee but the hot coco is good and the manger to my playing card
Great atmosphere, great service, and seriously great coffee. These people know their beans, they know where they come from, they roast them in house, and know how to serve a mean cinnamon roll as well. Clean, refreshing atmosphere without feeling pretentious or fake, which is refreshing in the world of coffee today. Also love that they ship beans directly from their shop, so I can enjoy great locally roasted beans at home, too.
What a great spot! Blake made me the most perfect cup of coffee and served it with a nice smile. Jordon checked in on me multiple times and brought me a water while I worked. Cute boys and cute store.
Generally love this place for great hot coffees but the iced coffee is weak and badly overpriced for what you get.
Love this place. Best tasting coffee Ive had out of many places Ive tried in the Charlotte area. Highly recommend it. I go out of my way just to get a cup of coffee from them, love it!
The coffee is delicious and the blueberry muffin is delightfully sinful. The service is exceptional and the ambiance is cozy and inviting. Best coffee house around!!!
Love knowledge perk! Only place I can get an excellent tea latte. The coffe is also wonderful and I highly recommend trying a lavender latte!
Gorgeous location and indoor seating, decent service and pretty weak coffee.I try to find local coffee shops wherever I travel and having a little time before my sons soccer game I decided to take a little time to try a local gem. There was a little on street parking in front of the shop but not much. The other option was the mud pit across the street that screamed hold my beer and watch this. I think there was some more parking further past the shop but cannot say for sure.When we walked in we were in awe of the inside of this place. It is one of the largest, private coffee shops Ive visited. Plenty of seating and alot of open space. I checked in on Yelp, as I always do, and noticed a free latte. When I showed that to the person taking our order she and the gentleman she called over both said they had never seen it before and didnt know anything about it. They did say they were going to honor the perk but after pointing out that it required a $15-$20 purchase I opted not to use it.I ordered a cold brew and a chai latte with almond milk. Both were served correctly as ordered and quickly. I noticed the cold brew looked like a dark tea and the taste wasnt that far off from a dark tea either. I take my cold brew black and usually have to water it down because its so strong however, this tasted very watered down already. It tasted like what Ive made at home and didnt let brew long enough. I asked the barista if their cold brew normally looked that light and she just said yes while walking away. No concern that I would be asking that question which probably should have raised a red flag. Next was the chai - equally watered down. It was pretty much just warmed almond milk. At this point I just decided it wasnt my day for coffee and let it be.
Beautiful coffee shop with nice outdoor seating and excellent coffee. Please note that you cannot buy coffee by the pound here. They sell it next door but they do not open til 9am. I unfortunately was there at 7am so I will not be able to return.
Best coffee place in... everywhere. It’s the best ever. I only drink KP coffee, both at home and out. The cafe is so clean, the food is incredible, and the head roaster is a coffee genius. Can’t recommend this place enough. Run, don’t walk! But don’t run with hot coffee, please.
We got the chai tea latte,iced chai tea, a hazelnut macioto. All were very good. What we liked is the flavor was not over powering! Thank you.
Great coffee shop and meeting place.
Stopped in for a coffee on 5/11. Our bartisa(o) was very pleasant and fun! Also, an artist in the making. Had a great bear painting for $5. Would totally recommend. Great coffee!
Great atmosphere, friendly service and most importantly delicious coffee.
It was nice to see this place go from the small shop next door to a beautiful place to visit, sip coffee, and relax. Ive purchased several types of whole been coffee and drip coffee here and have not been disappointed. I am grateful to have a place like this nearby. Great selection of pastries too! The salted caramel cookie is my favorite.
I LOVE this place! The coffee is great and the staff is even better. Jack was very helpful and very knowledgeable about the coffee brewing process. My favorite coffee shop in town :)
The atmosphere is awesome here, the coffee is amazing, and all of the drinks are mixed to perfection. I prefer the iced coffee or cold brew in the summer times and they are all tasty!
The employees are always super kind and provide an amazing experience! I’m not too experienced in the world of coffee and they kindly suggested great drinks to try! Definitely my favorite coffee shop.
Tried this place for the first time this morning and so glad I did. Very nice setting and spacious seating and plenty of outlets if you’re bringing a laptop. Seating is limited after 8-8:30am. They do have free WiFi and great coffee which I was super happy about. There’s nothing bad about this place and the prices are affordable and they have outdoor seating for the sunny days. Just wish refills was free for regular coffee but still deserves 5 stars
I love this place! Today was my first visit amd the atmosphere and the coffee is amazing!!
Knowledge Perk is a credit to the community and should be supported! This isn’t just a coffee shop - it’s a great place for the community to come together and meet. Rock Hill has needed a place like this and it’s clear that the owners have gone all in to make this place truly special with a huge investment. I live in Fort Mill and will go out of my way to get coffee here. I’m appreciative to the entrepreneurs behind this place - thank you!
It might possibly be the best coffee in the world. If it isnt theyve likely franchised and are now in competition with themselves, as they should be.The staff is amazing and the Brew is magnificent. I would recommend anyone in town to visit and anyone out of town to make the trek. The ambiance is very inviting and its a great place for creatives to give their ideas some room to breathe.10/10 would highly recommend and bring a friend!
One of the best light roasts that I’ve had in the long time. It’s hard to get beans with this kind of roast without any acidity! Great customer service. Will be back. Support local!
Such an awesome atmosphere, great coffee, and the workers are so friendly!
Perfect little coffee shop in the heart of downtown Rock Hill! The coffee is roasted in house and honestly the best in the Charlotte area. The shop is spacious and the atmosphere is cool with a old mill vibe. Go check it out, cool hang out in the heart of Rock Hill.
Great product and great sense of community. Thanks for your support of Miracle Park and the local arts.
You can go [almost] anywhere for a good cup of coffee these days. BUT if you’re looking for a great cup of coffee [or two...or five because you’ll want more], this is the place for you. The staff, atmosphere, and passion for coffee here really PERCOLATE the best experience. Just when I thought there’d BEANothing like it, the other coffee shops in the area were [freshly] GROUND to nothing. BOOM ROASTED.
Thank you for being open on Sundays, for having an easy-to-read menu with lovely options, and for being passionate about coffee and customer service. The gentle, upbeat music and spacious atmosphere cant be beat. It was love at first brew.
The coffee and interior are wonderful!
Loving this place already! Its got such a nice atmosphere although small right now. Its expanding and will definitely be a local hotspot. Its impressive the knowledge they have of coffee and the countries their beans come from. Highly recommend
Always out of something....good cinnamon rolls if you enjoy them served cold.
The best spot to get a cup of coffee in Rock Hill!
The best cup of coffee in Rock Hill. Roasted fresh in the same room where you get your coffee. Staff is highly personable, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable (no pun intended!). If you ever get a chance to do the immersion experience, dont pass. On top of all of this, they are devoted to being a strong part of Rock Hills development. Cant wait to see the expansion coming later in 2019.
It was a rainy Thursday mid-morning when the birds are silent and no one is out - in short, it was a perfect day.I was lost in South Carolina. If youve never been lost in South Carolina then thank your lucky stars.I was forlorn but also chuffed with the weather, so I was in a state of confusion when, out of Knowledge Perk, a sweet little thing asked me if I wanted an oat milk late.Now Ive never had heroin (heron if you know leetspeak), but I can imagine oat milk is pretty similar.So put yourself in my shoes. Its a perfect, rainy day and no one is bothering you. And then a percolating hott little thing asks you if you want a beverage that gives you the best high of your life...GD!
Knowledge Perk offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, and most importantly, great coffee. The coffee prices are reasonable, and there is merchandise available. Both, bags and K-cups, are available for purchase.This place is an excellent choice for your morning brew before work or school.
Every Monday. Bible and beverge
Yay. this place is the best.
Knowledge Perk is a great coffee roaster here in Rock Hill. They roast their coffee in small batches and it is fantastic!!!! Right now they have a small retail space that is open with limited hours. If youre lucky to catch them when they are open pick up some beans, or a cup of freshly roasted and brewed coffee. You wont be disappointed. Their IPO is the most popular, but they also have great Jamaican and decaf available. The decaf is a nice dark roast, so if you like the taste of good coffee without the caffeine then this is for you. Its not a light, watered down decaf, it actually has taste! Cant wait until they open their larger location.
I love this place so much! This place is like family and alway warm welcome! The coffee is always on point and quality is amazing here with everything they do! I’m excited for the expansion when it opens. This is a must to visit!
Excellent coffee and great vibes!
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, fair prices.
This is my familys new coffee spot! Everyone there is very friendly and the vibe is always nice! 20/10 Reccomend this place for everyone!
The customer service was decent and the person who served me was very friendly and informative, however, there were several baristas on staff while the restaurant remained visually dirty. I did not see any employees wash their hands before preparing my food and drink, which is unsanitary and a health code violation. The table I sat at while I waited for my order had a sign labeled “clean” but it was clear due to the crumbs all over the table it was in fact not clean. Normally I wouldn’t mind as much about a less than stellar table, but we are still in a pandemic so it’s a little concerning regular procedures are not being upheld along with extra cleanliness efforts to prohibit the spread of COVID-19. When I received my latte it tasted very burnt, in fact I was almost certain I had been given decaf instead of regular espresso (I am also a barista so I am very familiar with the difference). Either way, it was not very good and I could only stand to drink about 1/4 of the drink before tossing it out. I had high hopes it would be a great place with great coffee since it was a local company with local roasting. I’m sad to say I did not have a great or even good first impression, apart from the decor itself. I’m not sure I’ll be back...
Stellar people. stellar coffee. stellar atmosphere. scott was a sheer pleasure chatting with and learning about the offerings of KP (think corporate team building) and history of the wicked cool building. will be returning!
Amazing new location. They use a Modbar / La Marzocco system. Very high quality stuff! Beats every other coffee shop in the surrounding SC Area.Thanks for schooling me!As always, still the best shop around
It was good we went to eat at the King of 🔥 Pizza which was excellent.
I work at Williams and Fudge and bought 2 bags of coffee last week. Just opened it and it is SO GOOD!!! The customer service was amazing. Both guys made sure I got what I wanted and made sure I was satisfied. Great place! Please check it out!!
I was disappointed with the business ethics here. They did not inform us of a water main break.All I’d ask for is for someone to explain the situation, or warn us, or put up a sign! No one wants to get sick from contaminated water.Moving forward, please consider this feedback.***updated***Although we were from out of town and would have appreciated any sort of in-person heads up, thank you for your prompt reply and explanation. I have updated my review per your explanation.
I am a Starbucks regular, everyday. I stopped in for a dark roast today to see how it was, I AM MORE than pleased! Wonderful coffee and nice customer service. I will definitely be back.
Great vib and employees are super friendly
❤🙌🏻 best coffee in Rock Hill. And they got that oat milk. Yass. Hope they get vegan goods soon, but they do have cool food trucks with vegan options a lot.
Best shop in town! I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!
Friendly staff, stellar coffee, and very cool atmosphere that celebrates some Rock Hill history. Highly recommended!
Very friendly staff and great drink choices
Wonderful new coffee spot. Extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable owners. I wish them much success in this new business establishment. Great asset to Rock Hill! Thank you!
Hurrah, perfect coffee and beans in Rock Hill... no more commuting to Charlotte, wide variety, I choose different with every visit. Some super premium varieties at reasonable prices. leans to medium or dark roast, could use some more light choices but that is the trend everywhere.
Great hot chocolate...
Nice place
I happened upon this little gem while traveling from Texas. Since my visit to Knowledge Perk I have driven all the way up to Bangor, Maine. My Fiance and I love coffee so we try to stop for coffee in almost every state we visit. So far we have visited 14 states on our trip and Knowledge Perk has had the best coffee by far.
Great little coffee spot and friendly staff.
Awesome staff and coffee enthusiasts to the extreme. If you dont know what to order, dont worry, they got you.
This is a beautiful place with wonderful people. Ive never been a big coffee drinker, but their products have changed that.
