I've tried the apple, but not fond of the crumble topping. It would be delicious with their crust topping. I can't review the other pies as I've not tried them...yet. :) Highly recommend Buttermilk Sky.

I was craving a good peanut butter pie and, since the standard to beat is Bush's Baked Beans…read moreVisitor Center, I decided to give this place a shot after seeing it on Google. I picked up a mini peanut butter pie and an item listed on their menu as a "chewy chocolate chip" treat, paying around $7 apiece. Unfortunately, neither hit the mark. The peanut butter pie was just okay--it lacked rich peanut butter flavor and fell far short of expectations. The "chewy" chocolate chip treat was completely inedible. There was zero chew to it; it was rock-hard. A fork wouldn't pierce it, smacking it on the counter didn't budge it, and even sawing at it with a serrated knife did nothing. It was basically an expensive paperweight that went straight into the trash (I'm posting a video on Yelp so people can see for themselves). The only reason this is getting two stars instead of one is because the girl working the counter was genuinely sweet and friendly. Aside from the service, the treats were a major letdown, and I'll be sticking to Bush's for my peanut butter pie fix.

Best donuts in Kingsport. Don't believe me? Go try them for yourself. You won't be disappointed…read more Since I'm a TN newbie, I didn't know if this would truly be great donuts. Well, I'm here to tell you that these little gems melt in your mouth and make you feel like a kid again. My friend told Anna that this was my first visit. Anna said we ordered all her favorites, but there was one more I just HAD to try. So she handed me a donut hot off the line. I practically inhaled it because it was so delicious. Maple Mocha Espresso iced yeast donut is scrumptious. Can't wait to return and try their Maple Bacon yeast donut. We asked why it's drive through only. Anna said it's because she's the only one working there and can't be in front and at the window for all the customers. Hmm, sounds like a job opportunity if anyone is interested. Nice menu at the drive through with photos and descriptions of their donuts and coffee. Love the cute box for small orders.

The donut was sickly sweet and not at all what I had hoped for. There should be a big sign somewhere stating only drive thru service, instead after exiting my car on this cold windy morning I discovered that they only have drive thru service. So back into my car to get my disappointing donut. I ordered one donut and they screwed up that and it took way too much time as the man doing whatever waiting for a lady to come and take my money. HORRIBLE!

I had the hazelnut Napoleon and some tea and loved the people watching tables that look out towards the street. The ambiance allows you to meet people and it was cool to connect with a local and a traveler sitting at those tables. The desserts are all delectable and the Napoleon was yum so you really can't go wrong with anything you choose.

I'd definitely come again if I was in the area. They're open late - and still bustling - and there's a decent amount of seating. Nice night ambiance. Prices are high but worth. Get: - hazelnut napoleon 5/5, perfect texture even though I'm not a hazelnut fan usually, this was wow - strawberry mousse cake 5/5, so refreshing and yummy!! - Godiva cheesecake 4/5, a bit heavier but still a solid cheesecake

I have to say, I really do love their cookies. They look similar to Crumbl's, but they're not…read morenearly as crazy sweet, which I like. My only complaints are the prices and the availability. At $4.50 a cookie (and some flavors are an extra $2), they're pretty expensive for this area. They also say they change flavors every Friday, but when I checked for three weeks, most of the flavors stayed the same. The biggest issue is that they keep "selling out" so early. One time I went around noon, and they were already out of 3 or 4 flavors. Another customer had driven over an hour for a certain cookie and was disappointed it was gone. I went back another day around 3 p.m., and they were sold out of about half the menu again. If you're charging premium prices, you really shouldn't be out of so many flavors that early. Crumbl seems to keep all their flavors available all day, so I wish they could do the same. (I looked last night to order for today and even on their website about half of the cookies are already sold out... What's the deal with that)

Cookies seem underdone and suuuper sweet, and they are ridiculously overpriced. They also have a…read moregrainy texture? Interior of the store feels like a blindly white void. If I were Mike Teavee, I would not be leaving the place as large as I entered it. Y'know what I'm sayin'? You order and pay on the side of the store with an iPad. Very self-service. And while I'm not against self-service, it feels very disconnected from the people there and just sort of...cold? Even convoluted? Perhaps a mite pretentious when combined with the stuffy bright-white atmosphere? Compare to Great Clips, which combines personable service with smart tech solutions. Compare with Great American Cookie which is just so much more straightforward overall. GAC's customer service model is great for customers of all kinds. Here at Crave, I don't want to walk up to someone and have them point me to a tablet in the corner away from the entrance. Simplify! Everyone there was just doing their job, and I hold nothing against the fine people running the establishment. But the people working there deserve a better place with more satisfying food. The people eating from there deserve better for the prices.

I figured a coffee shop might serve up better internet anyway, and I wasn't wrong. The morning crew was bustling but friendly, quickly selling me a cup for the self-serve station and pointing me toward the stairs. The ground floor is cozy and compact, but they've got a second level that opens things up nicely. I chose the light roast labeled 'Autumn Honduras,' which turned out to be a fabulous pick ‐ bright, smooth, and just what I needed. I added a modest splash of cream, climbed the stairs, and found a quiet spot to settle in. I spent a solid hour up there, sipping slowly and sketching out the next leg of my journey through the mountains. It's a genuinely comfortable space, with enough warmth and quiet to make a full workday feel entirely doable. You could easily lose track of time here, and I wouldn't blame you one bit.
