    Everything bagel smear
    Ian C.

    Got the bacon egg and cheese breakfast bagel sandwich and it was good however kinda bland. Their only "sauce" option was mayo which didn't give it any real flavor. However, the bagel itself was really nice and fluffy. My mom got the everything bagel with a cream cheese smear and that was 10x better, I definitely recommend the bagel with a smear over the sandwich. Outside there's nothing much as it's just a window but that adds to the charm, also remedy coffee is next door so a nice little place for a coffee/bagel duo.

    Everything Bagel, Plain Spread

    Love Paysan! Been numerous times and never disappointed. Love a good classic plain cream cheese on everything bagel. Service is decent - they're nice but sometimes slow. Ambiance is lacking, but that's not the point of this place. The point is good, quality bagels to go and they deliver on that front!

    The Classic Lox

    Food is 10/10, bagel was delicious and the salmon was perfect. I went for the Classic Lox. Only improvement could be a separate window for pickup orders, gets a little chaotic when there is a line.

    This is quite literally a hidden gem. Don't blink, or you may miss their tiny storefront/AKA pickup window. If typing it into your GPS, type "Remedy Coffee." If facing Remedy's front doors, Paysan is tucked next to their building on the right hand side. Go early before they run out of bagel flavors and walk up to the window to order (or order online). The service was fabulous and we loved all of their inclusive signage celebrating equality. The pricing was also very reasonable. We wanted a few simple bagels just to see what the Paysan hype is all about and got an Asiago and a Casio e Pepe. They were probable the best bagels we have had in Knoxville thus far. A bit more dense and non-fluffy than NY bagels but still very tasty. We are looking forward to trying a bagel sandwich sometime.

    Amazing bagels!! Do get there early because they run out of select bagel choices pretty fast. They are a small company so it's understandable! We loved our experience here. Great staff and food. No indoor seating but we got coffee and ate in remedy coffee shop. It was perfect.

    Some of the best bagels in Knoxville. It's a small window next to a coffee shop but I'd highly recommend ordering ahead. Service was quick and friendly! I get the BEC on Asiago bagel.

    im putting my NY card on this bagel. 20/10 service too. Plain bagel (sourdough starter), mulberry CC (locally FORAGED for real. Come on.)

    Flower Power on Salt and Pepper bagel.
    Rachel C.

    If you can't find a parting spot, walk! I had the flower power bagel. I'm not vegan but loved all the ingredients on it! My husband got an Asiago bagel a side of butter. Living we got it in the side, it wasn't butter. It was margarine.

    Walk up window

    You'd miss the place if you weren't looking for it. Walk up window for ordering with two picnic tables outside for sitting but you can go next door to Remedy for coffee and more seating. They both open at 8am. I got the bacon, egg and cheese on an Asiago bagel, and added scallion cream cheese. We also got the BLT on a plain bagel. I really enjoyed the smokiness of the bacon but my fiancé thought it overtook all other flavors on the sandwich. It's personal preference but bagels were delicious and overall enjoyed it. It's worth a stop if you're driving through town!

    Order online. Pickup at the window. They're on Toast, too, if you have the Toast app.

    It was not worth the wait. It seemed like they were doing me a favor by allowing them to wait on me. There is much better in Knoxville.

    Oh. My. Goodness!…read more I've been following the Sovereign Sourdough Instagram and Facebook page for awhile because I love the fact that she focuses sharing God's word through her baking. I was immediately intrigued when I found her and have been waiting to try her for some time. Carson was so sweet to meet and talk to today at the craft fair we went to. We grabbed a loaf and some cinnamon rolls. We cut into the beautiful wrapped loaf tonight and it was good. But then I warmed it up and it was probably the best sourdough I've ever had! Amazing chew and texture. Great taste. I wanted to eat the whole loaf in one sitting. I can't wait to have the rolls in the morning and I'm definitely going to have to order some bagels and more bread from her. She's gained a huge fan of a customer in our household. God bless this woman and her family ministering through food. I love this concept. Can't wait for our next purchase!

Tennessee welcomed us with all its charms and warm friendly people! There's either something in the water here... or maybe it's the great Tennessee whiskey... because we are now a southern family of FIVE! We feel so very blessed. My primary goal is to provide ministry through baking. All of my baked goods and breads are naturally leavened with Sourdough (meaning, commercial yeast isn't utilized). I am convicted to solely use organic and sustainable methods, which includes natural fermentation and purchasing out grain, eggs, and milk locally, and of the highest quality.

    Damn good bagels!!!…read more Super cute little place with a good amount of seating inside and out. Very clean and bright. Friendly and helpful staff. I've been there three times and tried something different each stop. First up was the magical chicken salad on an everything bagel. Delicious chicken salad with lots of good flavors that didn't overpower each other. Second was the Steak sandwich on rosemary bagel. Not a fan of the steak. Nothing wrong with it, just a personal preference thing but that rosemary bagel was so good. Third trip was the one I will be going back for. The Pastrami Reuben. They recommend getting it on the pumpernickel bagel, but I couldn't pass up that rosemary bagel again, and it made a great pairing in my opinion. Whatever that Potchke sauce is, it really made the sandwich. But as you can imagine, the bagels were the star of the show each time. Nice size with just the right amount of seasonings. The first bite said it just right... perfect thin crackly bite on the outside with nice chewy dense inside, and so flavorful. I've heard that it can be quite crowded during the typical times you would visit a bagel shop so I went "off peak hours". The first time there were probably 10 people in line in front of me, the second time five or six and the third time I walked straight up to the counter. All three times my sandwich came out within just a few minutes of ordering so I would say they are definitely doing something right behind the counter. Only got one photo on my first visit. Was to excited to eat them to remember to take photos on next visits.

    I usually save my bagels for NY, but had to try this place from all the type. Came here during…read morelunch on a Thursday and there was no line. I ordered the jalepeno cheddar bagel with pastrami flavored lox schmear. I don't think there's any pastrami in this but interesting name. The bagel is light and fluffier than the dense and chewy NYC bagels and the schmear was salty and flavorful. Overall, I would recommend this place for top bagels in Knox. I would not put it up against an NYC bagels, but so glad we have a great option for yummy bagels and schmears. The bagels are big enough to share and they come toasted, cut in half and schmeared on both sides! Saving the second half for my afternoon snack!
