Union Ave Books
Whenever we travel, I’m always on the lookout for the coziest, most delightful independent bookstores. Here, I’m pleased to introduce you to one of our favorite indie bookstores in Knoxville, Tennessee. (Find more of our favorite cozy, independent bookstores here.)
Wander along, you guessed it, Union Avenue in downtown Knoxville, and you’ll find the charming Union Ave Books, with their Tennessee-orange bistro tables on the sidewalk inviting you to sit with a book and a snack from the neighboring coffee shop.
Inside the cozy bookshop are new releases, some second-hand options, bookish gifts, and an impressive selection of local-interest books.
Personally, we’re looking forward to a return visit and encourage you to stop in whenever you find yourself in the vicinity.
