Mabel's Cafe • $
2640 Morgan Cir Dr, Knoxville

“Amazing place with super lovely staff and great food for really cheap. It is hard to find however. You have to go to McCord hall, go in the lower entrance (opposite side of where Google will take you) walk in and you'll see a tiny sign on the right. I can't recommend this place enough for a breakfast spot to eat and study“

“Beaver Dough Joe in Karns is a total gem! Their donuts are next-level—fresh, fluffy, and packed with flavor. But what really makes this place special is the people. The team is always friendly, and you can tell they put real love into what they do. Ryan, the owner, is very friendly as well. Whether you’re grabbing a quick dozen or just stopping in for a coffee and a chat, it’s always a great experience. Hands down the best donuts in town—five stars all the way!

Ps. Love having my 1-on-1 business meetings here as well.“

“Delivery is usually rocking, but not today. I’ll usually give a little slack when the order’s not right but I think you would want to know how your food is being represented. I ordered my favorite, the Farmhouse Hash. Maybe I’m being picky but I’m only comparing it to the same meals I’ve had before, which were excellent. First, either Avocado’s have shrunk to the size of a Kumquat or the cook could care less about what this meal would taste like. I got 4 pieces of avocado about an inch big. And they still had the peel on them. Second, I ordered Sour Dough as opposed to wheat because of nutrition guidelines I have to keep. I got wheat anyway, which was very tempting. My eggs were fried, not basted. I got cheddar cheese instead of goat cheese. We also received smucker’s packets instead of the home made jam, that we expected. So it just boils down to the quality for the price. I basically paid $30 for my meal. I don’t mind paying restaurant prices but I also expect better than fast-food. One more thing I would like your business to think about. I am a disabled, immune-compromised customer. I order delivery more than the average customer for health reasons. I don’t appreciate the lack of consideration from your kitchen staff. Just because I’m not there to ask the server to correct my order, does not mean it’s ok to slack off on your duties. It more than likely was oversight but still, I felt you needed to know what was going on. I do hesitate now, to order from First Watch. I’m just not sure I’ll get what I expect.“
