My family stopped in on Valentine's Day. It was busy but there is a large area in front of the dessert case and a lot of seating so it did not feel cramped. 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. read more

The cakes looked special and well decorated. I did not enjoy the texture or taste. The cake with carrot shaped decoration had good sponge. The mousse was like gelatin and not smooth. Pavlova had lots of melange. The balance of melange and inside (fruit, whip cream and custard?) was off for me. I think the cakes are very special and it's certainly great for special occasions. read more

Everything in the case looked amazing and VERY pricey. I got eh lemon blackberry tart ($11), Strawberry kiwi tart ($11), cookie ($3) and a macaron ($4.50) The Coffee macaroon was tasty, not a very strong coffee flavor. The strawberry kiwi thing was ok but weird. The kiwi part was good, gelatinized kiwi, but the strawberry swirl on top wasn't great. The tart crust was not good, so that went into the trash. The blackberry lemon tart was like lemon curd with blackberry compote or jelly, that was ok. The chocolate thing in the picture.. the girl said it was like a shortbread cookie, but it wasn't crunchy, it was like a cake cookie that was baked a few days prior. Like others have mentioned, they don't taste "fresh" like they were made that day. They also don't thank you for your purchase. read more

I bought the oreo cheesecake and the lemon cranberry cookie. Wow, I have a sweet tooth but the level of sweetness to both pastries was ridiculous. The cheesecake was delicious at first and not too sweet but the sweetness began to increase the more I ate. It was just okay. The cookie, on the other hand, was odd. It was trying to be a cake but in the form of a cookie. An extremely sweet cookie at that. Anyway, I do not think I will revisit. read more

The desserts were wonderful just way too expensive to go on a regular basis. The little cakes were $15 each and the size of a cupcake. The macarons were 4 for $18. read more

Wonderful service and beautiful, tasty products. Expensive, but a bit more justified given the artistry needed to create some of these treats. Great spot to meet up for coffee and a dessert with a friend. We ordered several items, including the triple chocolate mousse and a cheesecake cake, but the Snickers cake was the best of the bunch and worthy of every cent. read more

Got a yummy Oreo cheesecake that was cupcake size. It was delicious, but the price for the quantity is not worth it. Cute little treat for someone's birthday! read more

The Artisan Cakery - Oreo cheesecake - Bakeries Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

It has been few years since I visited so gave them another chance to try. All of the bigger cakes used to be $9 but now these are $13 each. They don't have price tags and had to ask the staff. Better than butter cream cake for sure however quality of the cake wasn't good enough worth $13 to be honest. If we are in big city, this price is understandable however for Knoxville little cake shop, way too expensive. I know it costs to make artisan cake and cover the cost but didn't think it's worth it. If you buy 4 individual cakes for a family, over $52 is not a good price range. read more

What a wonderful bakery! The cakes are amazing. The young lady who waited on us was very patient to explain each one. Check out the unique macarons. YUM! We had lattes with our cakes which was great too. An awesome coffee shop with comfortable seating and quiet jazz music. read more

The foods good but it's grossly overpriced. Really isn't any reason to go here. I mean 14$ for a mini tart? I've tried it a few times, it's fine but not exceptional and not worth the money. Just go somewhere else. I tried it prev when it was 11$ for a tart, it wasn't really worth it at that price, now in less than a year they've raised the price by 3$. Pass. read more

People were nice. Everything was thoroughly decorated. My fiancé and I ordered a cake testing box. It came with 8 mini cakes and they all were less than appetizing. On top of that macaroons were not of great quality. Flavoring tasted very artificial. read more

What an amazing little cake shop! This Instagram worthy cakery isn't just a pretty picture. It's delicious too! We got a full box of treats, a vanilla cupcake to try the basic, a mini peanut butter cheesecake, a refreshing slice of strawberry cake and a chocolate mini petit four. Every morsel was delectable. From the beautiful decor, to the enjoyable little cakes and friendly people this is a Knoxville gem! We loved it and will be back. read more

I rarely write reviews but this was some of the worst customer service I've ever received. Since my group walked in the two women working behind the counter were extremely rude and short with us. It seemed as if the more items we ordered the more annoyed they became. I'll never understand why people who don't like dealing with customers work in a customer serving industry. The cakes looked beautiful and tasted fine but I will not be returning and wouldn't recommend it! read more

This is the Michelin-star level cakery in Knoxville! Their desserts are beautiful, chic, and will make your taste buds dance. If you ever watched the great British baking show and been dreaming about those elegant desserts, this is the place to go. I immediately got two boxes of desserts the first time I went. The pavlova is so special and I'm obsessed with their passion fruit jam on top of a cloud like bottom. Need to try ALL of their desserts. read more

The Artisan Cakery - Pavlova, strawberry and blueberry macarons, and blueberry tart. - Bakeries Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Wow! I pass by this place driving to CycleBar all the time! Finally today we decided to stop in for a treat. This place is just adorable. It is so fancy, elegant, quiet, and it smells incredible! The inside would be a perfect place to go and get some work done! They even have espresso!! My friend and I tried the chocolate croissant and Oreo chocolate cheesecake ( and got the raspberry pistachio tart and blueberry tart to go). Everything was just decadent. I really appreciate that the chocolate cake mellowed out the richness of the cheesecake... and the crunch of the Oreos . The chocolate croissant was also so perfectly put together. The buttery, yeasty, flaky croissant with the sweat chocolate center was incredible. A sweet man came over to make sure everything was good (I assume the owner). That always makes me so happy to see they care for their customers. I'd love to come back here on a weekend where I need a new place to study or just catch up with a friend! read more

Have a sweet tooth? Need something different then the average dessert? This is the place! We really enjoyed all the desserts we chose. We did 4!! Little pricey close to $45. But each dessert could be shared with several people for a tasting. The mousse and tart were our favorite especially the coconut mango tart burst of flavor! Go treat your self! Great for a girls little get together! Only draw back is they ask for tips for putting dessert in a box which I think is ridiculous! But we tipped anyways! read more

Went there around 7pm but Don't let the lack of lights fool you! They are open! They are trying to get more lights out. My husband and I went there for dessert after dinner at downtown. Everything is sooooooo pretty. They use fresh ingredients and the flavors are well balanced. Cakes are moist and the buttercream is not cloying sweet. To me the Taste of the cake is very French. Not "American" sweet. Letting the fresh ingredient shine. My husband had the chocolate peanut cake. The peanut is not the typical jiffy. It's taste like roasted peanut but in thick cream form. The peanut flavor really shines. The chocolate is decadent. I tried the cranberry cake and lemon poppy cake. Fresh cranberry and one of the best lemon curd I've had. The slices are thick and sooooo worth it. I've paid more are some restaurant for a slice of cake that was not worth it. Their cakes are very reasonably price for their size. It's actually cheap for that quality! The latte is delicious and the hot chocolate is real hot chocolate. Staff is friendly and super helpful. The decor is so calming and pretty and Very big space. They are new please give them a try! The bakers work very hard and takes pride in their work. Very talented bakers. I've traveled all over and this bakery is one of the best. So a gem! read more

The lemon poppy seed cake is to die for!!! Went in here to pick up a last minute cake for my fiancés birthday. They had a few options available and we went with the raspberry red velvet. It was super flavorful and moist but also light. I saw the sliced lemon poppyseed cake and grabbed that was well. I've been dreaming about this cake since then! Sad I don't live in the area to come back regularly! read more

I used to love coming here till tonight. They've raised their prices by $3 for their cake slices and tarts. They were also down to one case. I ordered a triple chocolate mousse and it was frozen solid. So sad to see this place go down. I wouldn't be surprised if they closed in the next 6 months. read more

I can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner. My family and I went in after an early dinner and swooned immediately. Everything was so gorgeous and tempting that we took an embarrassingly long time to decide on the pavlova, chocolate coffee tart, strawberry red velvet cake, birthday cake pop, and a few macarons. As a baker myself, I'm rarely impressed with what I find in bakeries, but I made a point to try a little of everything we ordered (I know...such a sacrifice!), and not one bite disappointed. The flavor combinations were subtle, beautifully executed, and never undermined by the American tendency to over-sweeten. At most bakeries you find that the cakes and frostings tend to taste boringly similar, but every cake tasted like it was hand-crafted--like it was a featured delicacy, not just a variation of their go-to recipe. I even enjoyed my daughter's cake pop, and I despise cake pops. The prices were higher than a dessert you might find at Ham n' Goodys or other bakeries close by (we spent about $50 total) but totally worth it. For a few dollars more than a Sonic milkshake, you could have a decadent pavlova or several macarons and relax in their quiet, stylish, and spacious dining room. The fact that Artisan Cakery is within walking distance to my home is going to be a huge problem going forward, but honestly, I think I would crawl there if I had to. read more

Wow, 16' of refrigerated pastry case, all made in house. Only wish I hadn't eaten before.

It's a must visit for an afternoon delight. My wife and I found it through yelp recommendations. Loved their selections!! IG worth design And friendly service. read more

It is great love the location, new and nice, but not sure if we get back a little bit pricy for us for what we got.

I cannot even begin to explain how wonderful this bakery is. The macarons are THE BEST I have ever had! You must get the pistachio! The vanilla cake with strawberry jam was absolutely out of this world. I also got a type of tart with a big pink half-sphere on it. That one was alright, I couldn't get past the texture though. Will absolutely return. read more

Prior to choosing Artisan Cakery my fiance and I had visited and tasted several more traditional wedding cakes, but when we tried a cake from Artisan Cakery it blew our socks off. We chose a layered honey cake and it was literally the best cake I have ever had. The staff at Artisan Cakery took the time to craft an amazing cake that our guests are still talking about over a month later. In fact my mother has requested a smaller version for her birthday cake this month. read more
