The employees were friendly, greeting every customer and answering questions about desserts. We ordered two hot lattes, a cappuccino, cherry cheesecake, 2 chocolate macarons and pavlova. We ate inside. Silverware and napkins are provided and food is served on plates and mugs, not paper items, which is nice. We enjoyed everything! My daughter said that the pavlova here is just like the pavlova she had in Europe. I don't understand reviews complaining about price or that items are too sweet. It is a dessert shop. Some of the desserts are so pretty. This takes time and you are paying for that. I appreciated the attention to detail. We will definitely return.

It's almost impossible to decide what to order because literally everything looks and sounds amazing -- and based on what we tried, you can't go wrong.

I've tried the coffee, a mimosa, and a spritz on different occasions. So tasty.

The French Market in downtown Knoxville is one of those spots that instantly feels warm and…read moreinviting the moment you walk in. The cozy, café-style atmosphere makes it perfect for a relaxed brunch or a casual lunch with friends. It's charming without feeling pretentious -- just simple, welcoming, and full of great smells coming from the kitchen. The crêpes are the real star. Whether you go sweet or savory, they're thin, perfectly cooked, and generously filled. The savory buckwheat galettes are hearty and flavorful, while the sweet crêpes hit that perfect balance of light and indulgent. Pair one with a good coffee and you've got an easy, satisfying meal. If you're in Knoxville and want something a little different from the usual brunch spots, The French Market is absolutely worth a visit. It's a local gem that keeps you coming back.

I will repeat this as my palate was pleased with the offering. My spouse enjoyed his usual meal with lox and cream cheese although the capers all gathered on one end of crepe so he missed the saltiness in each bite. Since we dined long after the lunch crowd had eaten, the restaurant was quiet and peaceful. It's one of our favorite places to relax and enjoy food with an international twist.

I ordered an oolong milk tea with honey boba and it was not good. There was no oolong flavor whatsoever, it honestly just tasted like caramel milk that was way too sweet. The boba didn't resemble boba at all, it was way too hard and had no flavor. It was on the more expensive side and there were no size options. Service was not friendly at all. Would not recommend if you're looking for good boba.

We had excellent service from the time we entered the restaurant. We started off with the cheese board. The selection they had of two cow cheeses and one sheep cheese were delicious. My husband had the croak, madame and he said it was average, with the sandwich tasting a little dry. I had the French onion soup. I have to state my bias upfront - my favorite French chef in the world is chef Ludo and I have gone to several of his restaurants. I rate every French onion soup to his. The way the restaurant prepares the soup is they put the soup and cheese in the bowl and then drown it in some type of liquor like a cognac or brandy. Then they light the top of the soup on fire, which is supposed to present the melted cheese while at the same time burning off the alcohol. The soup I got tasted so much of alcohol. I could not eat it. And it was a little bit skimpy on the cheese.

She is only 2 and when she saw the cake she said, "Uh oh!" and pointed to where the frosting was sliding off. My family had one piece each of the cake and we tossed the rest. It wasn't worth eating. The cake and the frosting tasted old, as though it had been sitting out for days. The letters of her name on top of the cake fell off and we had to place them back on as best as we could. It was supposed to be gluten free but made my husband sick after eating his piece. I can't believe they thought it was OK to charge me $60 for when we were given. Honestly, so disappointed.
