Environment and food was nice and good. The fresh baked good I wanna go back for and a coffee. Nice little atmosphere especially for around here. Definitely be back. Fresh orange juice is a big bonus!

Matcha Crystal Boba and Crunchy Strawberry Crêpe

Great crepe and matcha as well as a huge menu to choose from. $10 crepe and they are very big.

Excellent pastries!! Would have given 5 stars, but they are outrageously expensive. Almost each and every pasty they offer is $10 each.

Here is another place that I was told is a must check out. This place was very very pricey with their pastries. If you're going charge that much for a pastry then there should be some contrast with the flavors and textures. I got the chocolate peanut butter pastry and it was $16.46. Crust tasted like it was a chocolate ginger snap crust. The peanut butter part inside the crust and also the bear were the same, possibly peanut butter with cream cheese. It was OK but definitely was not worth the price. I handed the girl 21.46 and she was taking one dollar bills out.I asked if she could give me a five dollar bill instead of ones. She says she owes me $4.96. I said I gave you $21.46 that's a even five dollars. So maybe if the register doesn't tell you how much change should be given then the manager should probably have people at the register that know how to do basic math.

This is an excellent place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner! I visited for breakfast and was impressed by the menu options. I ordered the Santa Fe omelet platter along with a large Americano. The portions were generous, and I had the choice between fruit or potatoes, as well as a selection of bread. When my food arrived, I could immediately tell that the ingredients were fresh. The omelet was delicious, and the fruit and baguette were great side options. The service staff were friendly and helpful; I ordered my coffee to go and the food to dine in, and it was no problem at all. Although I didn't try any lunch or dinner items, the menu appeared to have great selections for everyone. The restaurant also features a display case filled with beautiful pastries and gelato! It would be wonderful to stop by after dinner for dessert and an espresso. I hope to return soon!

As with any of my reviews, I go over the good and the bad with each establishment. Rendezvous International was easy to access and have good operating hours. The inside is vaguely reminiscent of a cafe and there is a sofa seating area with faux fireplace and large screen tv which was playing sports. There is a large display of sweets and treats as well as the person making the crepes. They have a large array of coffees, teas, and drinks. I believe I saw boba as well. The food menu is relatively simple but does have some unique offerings. We ordered the chicken crepé with a 1/2 salad and the Club sandwich with homemade chips. The crepe was light and had a nice texture. The sauce on the chicken was garlicy very tasty. The salad was an advocado salad and it was fresh with just lettuce, advocado, red onion, bell pepper, and cut cherry tomatoes. It came with ranch dressing. I asked for bleu cheese dressing but they did not have that as an option. I also attempted to order a coke but they only had Coke zero despite having a full Coke fountain machine within view. The club was fresh and the homemade chips were crispy according to my mother. I had the chai latte and it was very tasty, maybe slightly sweeter than my preference but very good. My mother enjoyed a regular latte. One young man was particularly helpful and patient with my mother, who has the onset of dementia, while she was deciding what coffee she wanted. Now lets talk about the things that left us a bit put off. This was our first time at the establishment so we went to the cashier, which was a young woman with long dark hair and glasses, she told us to take menus and then come back to the register and order. The was zero smiles or welcome or glad you're here to try our food. When I paid, there was an option for a tip, which I thought was ridiculous because so far I hadn't really received any service. We didn't receive any additional service either other than someone placing food on the table while we were ordering a coffee for my Mom. When the same girl dropped off food to the lady that sat behind us, she didn't say a word to her or ask her if she needed anything. So, I guess our experience with her was status quo. It was 32 degrees outside and it was also very cold inside. It may be because they were getting a delivery and the door kept being opened and closed. The music, where we sat in the back, was rather loud and was certainly not background ambiance. Lastly and concerning is the wiping of the tables. The tables were not being cleaned with a disinfectant between customers, they were using Pledge. I saw two tables "cleaned" in this fashion. I could not believe what i was seeing! This cannot be up to regulation. So, all in all, would I come here again? Maybe if I have a craving for a crepe.

Cheese cakes, crème Brulé, croissants & eclairs.

Now THIS! is a great breakfast eatery! To bad I'm not in town long enough to try lunch, too. Food is fantastically fresh and tasty and the pastries are to die for. Nice layout/seating area and the music isn't blaring!! The service is friendly and efficient. I could easily drink enough of their coffee to get the shakes. If you're in the area you must stop in!

English breakfast platter and the mixed berry crêpes

We were looking for a breakfast spot and came across Rendezvous. It was a great experience, delicious food and excellent service. We had the mixed berry crepes and the English breakfast. We also got the pistachio danish, Black Forest mousse, and crème brûlée to go. Highly recommend.

Mocha latte
Brenatia H.

If you want to taste a little heaven on earth then please try this place! So delicious! I had the mixed berries crepes, with blackberries, blueberries and strawberries filled with creamy goodness and homemade fresh whipped topping, glazed with strawberry and chocolate drizzle. I also had the mocha latte, hot and served in a mug. The restaurant is very clean inside and out. I chose the patio today because it was cool outside. Staff were nice and professional. Prices are reasonable. I highly recommend. Lots of menu options.

Key lime pie

OMG everybody y'all need to come here. The food is fantastic and the desserts are the best I have had in JC. So much like the patisseries in France and the coffee is perfect. This place needs to stay!!!

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.

We love Honeybee's!! My mother-in-law has been buying goodies from them for years. When we fly out…read moreto visit her (CA to TN), there are always Honeybee's goodies on the table but I have to admit my Achilles' heel is 100% her dinner rolls. OMG! So delicious and slathered with butter We actually stop on the way to the airport and get at least 2 dozen of Honeybee's rolls for the flight home. We used to get only 1 dozen but I've never made it back to Cali without at least one passenger bartering for a few.. it's become a thing! fresh, buttery rolls on a plane is the adult equivalent to getting to stop at McDonald's for a Happy Meal on the way back to school from a doctors appointment; you're literally king for the day! My favorite barter-to-date is a few visits ago when our group was all separated on the plane. The ladies I was sitting next to ordered me a buffalo chicken wrap and a mimosa in exchange for a dozen of my precious dinner rolls ‍ Long story long, Honeybee's has not only made my visits to Tennessee even more special, they've pulled off making the long flight home fun too! I am for sure a lifelong fan!!! I'm so happy Honeybee's was able to not only survive during the pandemic, but become exceedingly popular! I've met a few of the staff throughout the years and their team is so friendly and dedicated to giving the best of what they do! Congrats, Honeybee's!!

Quality and taste were amazing! I last minute wanted a special treat for my husband on his birthday…read moreand we both LOVED these! Best cupcakes we've ever had!!!

First of all, I would like to point out that they have the coolest little food truck around. Foodie…read moreFiction is a close second lol. Okay, seen their truck all over the place. Mostly after I've already stuffed my face with more food than I should, so never walked up to one though my eyes told me I should. Finally couldn't take it anymore. Was full, wasn't even in the mood for dessert, but it was a hot day so ice cream it is and that blue and white truck it had to be!!!! Ordered a ice cream sandwich. Forgot the exact combo, since I tend to order the most random things at the most random places, forgetting exactly what I ordered/ate is common. Let me say that consuming 1000+ calories have never been so guilt free. I'm not sure if it was in fact over 1000 calories, but it sure looked and tasted like it. But it was SOOOO freakin' good!! I truly believe that EVERYONE should treat themselves once in a while to one of their creations. If you do it everyday then you've got a problem. But once in a while?? Ohhhh yeeahhhhhh!!! Get it, and enjoy every bite of it and at the end, lick the paper tray clean. The creamery in their name is well earned. Thank you!!!

Closed. New hours said they were open 12pm to 9pm. Brought the whole family out for a great treat,…read morewe were wrong.
