It was so good! The loaded baked potato salad is amazing! I got the pickled green tomato chicken capresé and it was delicious. Definitely get there early. We arrived at 11:30 and it was already packed. Not pictured in a cookie I purchased and it was delicious as well. They said they make all their treats in house! Well worth the visit

Broccoli cheddar soup
Denise H.

Stopped at this cafe on a friend recommendation on our way to Gatlinburg for a girls weekend. The restaurant is located down a paved hill from the Foothills Milling restaurant - two different restaurants. We parked at the top of the hill and walked down to a smallish cafe. You order at the counter when you walk in and there are tables to sit at in a space/room to the left. I ordered: Broccoli cheddar soup - large portion when you order the bowl. Decent recipe, had a bit of a tang to it and a thin consistency to the base. Pork Ba Mi - nice size sandwich and a side of mac salad (could have gotten a smaller soup side instead - I didn't realize). Mac salad was solid. I took the sandwich to our chalet because the soup was so big. Even eating it the next day, the sandwich was delicious! This should be a stop on anyone's to do list. I'll definitely find my way back to try other sandwiches.

What a beautiful gem in Knoxville. If you want a fancy yet comfortable delicious dinner date night, this is a great option. The salmon was absolutely outstanding, possibly one of the best I've ever had. Yet it's always the taste and ambience moment that makes the difference, right? Great looking menu and the service is top notch. Adds a touch of class to the experience. Beautiful dining room, maybe a bit tight at some tables but it's all good and when the focus is on the food and company, nothing else matters much.

The food here really lives up to the hype--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite was spot-on, and it's easy to see why people rave about the menu. Unfortunately, the experience falls apart when it comes to seating. There's little to no place to sit, making it difficult to actually enjoy the meal. Whether you're dining in or hoping to stay a while, the lack of space turns what should be a great visit into a frustrating one. Great food can only carry a place so far--without a comfortable spot to sit, it's hard to justify coming back.

Excuse the rogue finger in the background. Bbq chicken sandwich with white sauce
Laryssa F.

Everything was amazing! We had the White Cheddar Roast Beef, BBQ with white sauce, chicken cordon bleu, iced chocolate latte, key lime pie.

Chicken pesto sandwich and creamy chicken vegetable soup!
Brian H.

The creamy chicken vegetable soup was fantastic! I also took the fried bologna sandwich to go for dinner. It tasted great as well.

A bustling place at lunch. Arrive early so you don't have to stake out a seat like a vulture. We ordered the soup sampler (everything was amazing except the Italian wedding which was just fine), the Italian sandwich which was a perfect combination of flavors, and the French dip which was cleverly served quartered into sticks for dipping. Truffle and pimento macs were flavorful and generous portions. Chocolate cupcake was moist and yummy.

Bacon and cheese on the side.  Bacon was really good.  Pesto salad, so yummy.

Stopped by this sweet gem during our visit from VA. Very crowded. Wonderful food, HUGE portion sizes. I could only eat half of my sandwich. The other half I took to go. I did not see an option to order half a sandwich with a cup of soup, but when I return I will ask to see if it is an option. If not, I will be sharing a sandwich and soup with my hubby.

Fried oyster appetizer

Food was amazing! We always know the food service and ambiance are consistently terrific. Andrew our server was top notch. He gave great suggestions, great service. He was friendly, attentive, kind, and professional. We had the ribs, one had the lobster, Caesar salad is huge, I enjoyed the fried oysters, and the scallops.

Fried okra salad

We arrived when they opened and it filled up quickly. There is not a lot of seating but if you get a chance, you must try them out! Amazing food! Fresh items with great menu choices. We'll definitely be returning.

Muffuletta sandwich
Kelly L.

Looks like the building itself isn't open yet but looking forward to it opening! Meanwhile they do takeout for lunch 12-2p through their main restaurant and I have to say the sandwiches are pretty great! Ordering and paying online is super easy and they have curbside pickup designated parking spots. For lunch we got two sandwiches. They all come with coleslaw and a pickle. Muffuletta sandwich (4/5) pretty packed with meat (bologna, ham, Genoa salami and pepperoni) with an olive tapenade between rosemary focaccia. It was pretty good, although a bit on the salty side with all the preserved meats and olive tapenade. Short rib stuffed meatloaf sandwich (5/5) this was the favorite! The meatloaf was amazing when I had it at the restaurant and amazing pressed between the sweet sourdough bread. Super filling and you could probably even split it with another person. Sweet sourdough bread (5/5) sweet, fluffy, and so pillowy soft, the flavor is perfect. We got two loaves to save for a rainy day. Can't wait for the actual cafe to be finished cause I imagine the ambiance would be great.

I live a block from the bakery, which is definitely a perk. I've pretty much had everything they…read moreoffer, and it was all excellent. Their chicken salad is stellar; i no longer make my own - i just walk up the street and buy theirs. Their sandwiches are excellent. I've also bought a number of cakes, cookies and other desserts there. My favorite is the tiramisu and the red velvet cake. The cakes are also gorgeous - beautifully decorated. There's a reason you see a lot of locals dining here - we know it is one of the best places in town.

For jarring my memory and giving me memories to fix not writing a great review for this place. We traveled to Brevard back in 2022 for one of our annual leaf viewing tours. Fun fact about Brevard! There are white squirrels everywhere. There are also regular brown squirrels too. My wife told me about this before we got here but it's strange, there are so many of them. One of the oddest things I find is that there are no mixed squirrels. Like kinda brown, or kinda white, it's either one or the other. They hang together, surely they get it on. What the hell is going on here?!?!? Where did they come from? Why haven't they spread to other areas?? Anyway.... About this bakery. We stopped by here a few times for meals and snacks. Most of it was just pretty good and nothing to really write home (lol) about. I did not know this at the time and did not truly savor the moment well enough. I had the absolute best pastry I have ever had in my life here. I often think back to it and when I see a similar looking pastry only to be let down when I try it. It was the scone to beat all other scones!!! So freaking good!! Orange Pistachio Coriander was the flavor and nothing will ever beat it I am afraid!! If you make it here, check out the white squirrels. There are even gift shops dedicated to them and I swear they have little signs all over town about them. Also.... Mantiques is right down the way. Great shopping!! '22 - I can't even remember, lol.

Tlive more than an hour from this Mexican Bakery. However, this last time I stopped, the experience was not the same. My favorite was the cheese and jalapeño relleno bread. They also carry some with just cheese. So, I asked the employees which were the ones with jalapeños in them. The employee said they all had jalapeño's and cheese. I purchased two of them. When I arrived at home, the bread instead had chorizo and potatoes inside. The taste was so bad and cold. I was disappointed. So, I called the bakery hoping to get replacements of jalapeño and cheese whenever I have the opportunity to stop by there, since it wasn't my fault. The employee told me no. I told her I could take a photo and keep the receipt. Nope, she didn't care. In addition, since I live more than an hour away, I asked the employee for a box to place the bread in, so the frosting on the small cakes wouldn't get messed up. Upon, looking at my receipt at home to call them, I noticed I was charged $2.25 for a thin little box that one gets free for purchasing donuts at a donut shop. If the employee had told me that there is a charge for the box, I would've had her place the bread in bags instead. This Mexican bakery is not a place I recommend to buy from. Take your business elsewhere.

The shop itself is small but mighty. Super kind staff who will give you any info you request. There are candles, plates, cards, and a few local gifts for sale, alongside all of the tasty treats. There are cookies, brownies, cupcakes, single cake and cheesecake slices and full size cheesecakes for sale. My favorites are the oatmeal sammie and the PB cheesecake. I normally avoid sugar cookies but their version with the sanding sugar is too notch! We definitely prefer the storefront, as the items are super fresh and I love that they carry the single servings. Whenever we are downtown for work, this is our stop. When you get something from the Kroger Magpie's selection, it will either be a full size cheesecake or a sampler box of cookies or bars/brownies. It is hit or miss as to how fresh the items are here. This location now refrigerates the sammies, too, which seems to dry them out quickly. Bummer. From either location, we definitely prefer the cheesecakes, pies, and cookies to the actual cake. Either way, support this local gem!
