“My favorite coffee shop. The guys are super kind and informative, the atmosphere is elegant and cozy (but it’s very popular so it gets a little loud sometimes). Drinks are amazing of course — we buy their roasts for our at home coffee almost exclusively. One thing, the drinks run very sweet so you may want to ask for half sweet.“
“My best friend and I talked about this place from time to time and just made a spontaneous decision to visit on one of my off days and it immediately had an atmosphere I got attached to. One of the most comfortable and safest places I’ve been in and we’re making it a regular spot!The owner also serves, it seems ?❤️“
“This is definitely one of my favorite local coffee shops! The customer service has always been amazing, whether you go there to study, or meet a friend, the atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing, their coffees are very smooth in taste, and their pastries are excellent! Definitely recommend this place! ?“
“We enjoyed all of the food we got!!! We got the special which was sausage egg and cheese biscuit with double cheddar on a garlic biscuit, 1 plain bacon egg and cheddar biscuit, 1 plain butter and strawberry jam, and 1 plain honey butter biscuit and I'll just say that was the best biscuits I've had in a long time. The biscuits were similar to the consistency of cornbread but fluffier. My boyfriend absolutely loved the coffee. The place was small nice and quaint and we will definitely be visiting again. There was only one person working but he was Maning the kitchen amazingly all while making everyone that came in feel welcome and like they were his friends. Thanks for everything today!!!“
“The food was all incredible! We tried the frituras, tripletas sandwich, guava pastelillo, crispy pork mofongo, and cafe con leche. Everything came out better than the last.Service was super friendly from Millie’s granddaughter and the atmosphere was fantastic. We left wondering who would give this place anything less than 5 stars.“
“Food here is super fresh here! I love it. I never get any bad fruit. Customer service is great. Alex is the man! Always gets my order right and has my food ready by the time I get there . I can’t say enough good stuff about Everbowl. 20/10“
“Dietary restrictions: I must admit, when I first discovered the restaurant on door dash, I was skeptical. I mean, it looked appealing, but you note how some restaurants “fudge” that. Well, Blossom Bowl has never deceived me. I have been seriously hooked to the bowls at this establishment. I have now gone from ordering delivery to stopping by and picking up my order before work. My option is to build my own, but the selection of the different toppings and bases makes every bowl a treat each morning. Yes! Each morning. I get their bowls every week day, and am proud to say so. Somehow, it just makes every day better. More tolerable. Thank you, Blossom Bowl ? .“
“Such a cool spot to hang out and meet good people! Super chill vibe and delicious, quality kava and kratom! Great place to crack open a book or strike up a game of pool with friends! There is a little something for everyone ?. Doggo friendly!“
“Holds to the high quality K-Brew standards of coffee and service. They have cute decor modeled after the original store on N Broadway. Their main problem is simply atmosphere as it's normally loud and crowded. And their tea is ridiculously expensive!“
“I've been twice now. Had the sweet heat chicken and waffles with strawberries. It was delicious. Service was good. You can sit outside, which we did and that was fun. The prices are a little higher than, say, cracker barrel, but absolutely worth every penny!“
“I have tried both Dutch Brothers and Scooters and prefer Scooters over Dutch brothers. The coffee tastes much smoother and is cheaper. The blended, frozen coffee is great and better taste than Dutch. I don't see what all the hype is over Dutch Brothers“

“One of the best brunch spots you’ll find in Knoxville. The food is delicious, cocktails/drinks are fantastic, servers are super knowledgeable and quick, great ambiance to catch up with friends/family, and it’s big! The weekends are busy, but if there’s a wait (typically prime brunch time), they’ll give you a buzzer that reaches out to the parking lot if you want to wait in your car. It’s always worth it and not that long either. Check their patio out in warmer months - highly recommend!Parking: Parking next to building in the lot, and overflow around the corner!“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“This is an essential stop for anyone visiting Maryville. Stopping in and seeing the beautiful theatre and sitting down in their space surrounded by some really cool memorabilia is a great experience. It's a fantastic spot for an ice cream or hot cocoa date.“
“What sweet staff they have in here!! So helpful. I ordered a tuna melt on white and it's amazing!! Cheeseburger is so tasty and done perfectly. But let me tell you about the lemon pie! To die for! Homemade ? pie is my favorite ever! Sad I missed breakfast but I bet the biscuits were delicious. Wish we were staying in town longer so we could come back!! ?“
“Coziest coffee shop nestled right near downtown Knoxville!! One of my favorite coffee shops in the area: close to downtown, great prices, adorable little shop. Sit and chat for a while there then stop by the bookstore nearby for a quaint afternoon in Sequoyah Hills!“
“Good coffee. Convenient. Quick fix took a minute to read the offered selections. I wanted a strong french vanilla creamer coffee. Basic and "quick". I had to pick something on the list, read the list not so quick...... So stop and get coffee off the list and go. Ok not “
“I love kung fu tea because of the red bean fish cakes. They're a staple for when I'm visiting Knoxville. When it comes to the tea, however, it tends to be a little too sweet even when I order it less so. The oolong is the only flavor I've really liked, the matcha was bad and the lychee was just too sweet. Great food though:)“
“This place was a great experience! The staff seemed lovely to talk to and was quite enthusiastic while giving recommendations. The coffee I had was rich with a sweet aftertaste which I really enjoyed. Right next to a grocery store, so perfect excuse to get coffee after grocery shopping. The theme of capybara was also quite “
“They have amazing drinks and tasty snacks. I heard they have an incredible brunch at the manor, too. They're always having events and they love Jesus (which is my favorite part).Kid-friendliness: They are very kid friendly and even have little rooms set up just for the kiddos to play and hang.“
“Doughnuts are off the hook delicious. Took 2 dozen to our employees who said some of the best they have had! Came by at 6:30 am knowing lines get long later in the morning. Person working the counter was very courteous and quick. Will be back!!!!!“
“Love this place! So cute. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, there's such a historic feel to the place too. It used to be an old bank, and they kept the vault and original structure in tact. Coffee was so good, and so was the service. Carly served us, and she was so sweet and friendly :)“
“I love Scooter’s Coffee. I come by a couple times a week on my way to work and usually get a Cappuccino. Cappuccino’s here are very good. Creamy and not bitter or overly sweet.The cups are so cute! I love that the cups are cute year round and not just for the holidays.Customer service is quick and efficient as well as professional and kind.“

“I'm not sure who needs to know this, but they have vegan donuts! My husband, who is deathly allergic to dairy, has safely ate their donuts and loves them! The service has been great each time. I, personally, am not a fan of donuts, but I thoroughly enjoy their honey glazed donut. 10/10“
“This place is really great. Glad to hear they are expanding to the food market.I do wish they would open earlier. I often wish I could stop by after dropping my son at school for a breakfast drink.Kid-friendliness: My son and his friends love this place.“
“Our coffees were great for the long trip. They had a nice full taste.They ladies there were super nice. I had actually talked to one of them about the plants they had. I wanted to know what type of plant it was. She asked if I wanted it. She said it was struggling to get enough light and what is needed.I just wanted to let her know that it was starting to get new leaves and is lookibg more vibrant.“
“Cappuccino and cortado were nicely prepared though both had the exact same textured milk. The espresso was sweet and mild and meandered through the milk rather than a solid punch. Drinks are prepared in paper or plastic unless you request ceramic /glass.Variety of pastries / grab and go available.“
“This will be my third time coming here today I had ordered the mocha milk tea with regular Ice, regular sweetener and tapioca pearls and I also ordered a side of chicken bites. It’s a really really good place to come to if you’re really interested in Boba.“

“Being a Veteran is a call to serve for me. I served faithfully in the USAF for 23 years with no regrets. We have been blessed with recognitions from many businesses. We may ask if there is a military discount, but we never expect it and are very thankful for i when it is givent. For many of us who had missions not that favorable or rewarding we knew we had a purpose and did our best. I don't know where I was mentally this day but after getting all the answers from my questions about their donuts one of the owners (Jimmy), he boxed up my order, gave me an extra donut for my first time being there and then gave me this incredible discount for being a veteran . It blew my mind, I got choked up and took me to some place I hadnt been in a while. It's amazing how kind actions from stranger can really change your moment. I am in total support of status dough not only for the kindness shown, but the incredible delicious quality of the donuts they make. My favorite donut is the old fashion and they have the best I have ever had with the exceptions of the hot fresh ones out of the grease at a Publix in Florida where I worked as a kid during the 80's. They also had a seasonal Pumpkin old fashion that came in a close second. Their cinnamon Roll was like an elevated Honey bun. They were so much lighter and the glaze had to be honey because it tasted so natural and not super overdone sugar. My wife thought the Boston creme was amazing (her favorite donut). They make all the fillings and glazes from scratch and it really was proven when I bit into the blueberry Paczki ( polish donut). The filling bursted with fresh blueberry toast without overly sweet and the brioche dough was phenomenal. The final surprise was when jimmy recommended the vegan snickerdoodle donut. I don't care for snickerdoodle cookies and obviously not a vegan, but he had me already sold. When I brought it home my family loved it (even the picky 8 year old grandson) and it is now my number 3 favorite. I cant wait to see what the rest of the holidays come out with. They have me as a number one customer.“
“The service at Scooter's is always exceptional and fast. I tried the cake bites this time and they are really yummy. I always enjoy their coffee as long as I stop by before noon time to get the special Fresh Brew of the day. I did notice one thing on this trip to Scooter's, that they're fresh brews are at a new price! Three times the price that I had paid in the past for a large. Small $1, medium $2, and large $3 through their coffee is always really good, hot and fresh. This will probably reduce the frequencies of my visits to Scooters.“
“My friend and I and our kids visited this coffee house on her recommendation. She said that there’s a kid corner and she takes her kid to that area often. It was nice to see the cute little kid corner, as that’s not something you see in many places, especially after COVID.I got the Honeysuckle Tea unsweetened (which my picky toddler actually enjoyed), 2 bagels with butter and cream cheese and a cup of tomato soup. The gal who helped me out, was very conscientious and asked or looked to make sure certain items didn’t have eggs in their ingredients. Having a company that helps me to not have an allergy, is a company that has my business!!Prices were reasonable. I will definitely have to come back with my husband, I think he would really like this establishment!!Parking: Parking is in front of the coffee shop and just around the corner is an entire lot with many parking places.Kid-friendliness: Nice kiddie corner with books, chairs and a table. Very nice.“
“What a ray of sunshine to pop in for a healthy, yummy tea AND get greeted with genuine hospitality and sweet smiles….that’s been my experience every time I’ve walked through the door. If you’re looking for a welcoming environment and great customer service, grab your healthy fix at Southern Twist!“
“Just had lunch there for the first time. The food Wes fresh and very good. Was able to order a French press with fresh coffe that was good. Got eggs scrambler Florentine. Was tasty. One large pan sketch on the side to try and it was very big and think. Will be back to try other menubitems that looked “
“The staff is amazing and I love the charm of the inside portion with the mix match chairs and the twinkle lights! Next time I'll be bringing my computer to work from here for a bit. Staff is super friendly and lots of good options for a girl who has lots of allergies (gluten & dairy included). Their mission is also great as portions of the money goes to adoption and foster care support!“
“The manager Francisco and his team always provide a pleasant experience for all guests. The store is maintained in proper order and is always clean and fresh. When walking into the store you are welcomed by music and an atmosphere that makes the customers feel welcome and wanted. Today I had the pleasure of working with barista Aimee who provided excellent customer service. As a patron that visits this location 3-5 times per week it is a wonderful reprieve from the monotony of daily life. I love coming to this location to study and enjoy my favorite beverages and pastries. Thank you to the Sevier Highway and I-75 Starbucks team for always taking great care of your guests, it is much appreciated!“
“I've been to the downtown location many times and seen different people nearly everytime behind the counter, and everytime I go you can tell that every single one enjoys the craft. They even add latte art when it's in a closed cup! Bryce and Chase both gave amazing service during my last visit and made one of the best cappuccinos I've had. The attention to detail from the baristas still amazes me. They always have very unique bagels and the locally roasted beans are always fresh and smell amazing.Vegetarian options: Most of the bagels are vegetarian outside of the ones with cheese, and they offer substitutes for milk.Dietary restrictions: They have the option for substituting milk, and are willing to help with any other restrictions if possible.Kid-friendliness: They have a selection of bottled drinks for those not interested in coffee.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is level with the sidewalk and there are no inclines.“
“My absolute favorite place in Knoxville! The drinks are amazing, food is delicious, and the support Sunago gives to Knoxville's makers is incredible. The staff is extremely friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. Sunago makes you feel at home every time!“
“My first time eating donuts from Duck Donuts, and they were amazing! I don’t think I’ll ever eat a doughnut from anywhere else! When I told the lady at the counter it was my first time there, she went over lots of the selections. She explained how the donuts were made, and the options I could choose from to customize my own donut, although they had plenty to choose from. If you haven’t tried Duck Donuts, I highly recommend them.“
“Nice addition to the newly bustling Sevier Ave. area. Coffee drinks are tasty and reasonably priced. From my experience, they always have seating available after 5pm. The music in the afternoons can be loud and contains profanity, so not recommended for little ones. But hey, it’s a coffee shop, right? Overall, we love having afternoon coffee at this convenient and accessible location.“
“Went for the valentines 3 course dinner, loved the experience also my husband and I liked the pricing for the amount you get. I feel like it was a good price range. Enjoyed each course and were stuffed! Also love coming here for coffees and pastries on the weekend.“
“Great place to get myself something to eat and especially something to drink and since it it open during school i can buy myself lunch at a great price knowing all proceeds go to missions definitely recommended to anyone who would like something to eat and they have great coffee of what I’ve heard I don’t like coffee but everyone says its great.Kid-friendliness: Very much family friendlyParking: Free parking and a lot of it“
“Great food and service! This was my first time trying Southern Grace for a Saturday brunch and I could not have been more pleased with my experience. I decided to try the Waffle Board and Smoky Mountain Sunset. It came out very fast and I enjoyed the meal. I love that you can choose your own seating within the manor. We chose to sit in the study! The staff was amazing! We interacted with three different team members and each one was as sweet as can be. I'll definitely be back!“
“Lord just riding pass had to turn around I worked there years ago so it's been a long time since I've had a straight off the line fresh and hot ? but yes worth my turn around. But lady working the widow was rude she forgot we could hear her I guess she was not pleasant by far but another working must have seen that the lady was needing a cigarette break so she let her take one. We didn't have a big order just 10 hot glazed 2 raspberry that's it and we was the only car in line. Yeah take the kids in get a donut ?“

“I love this spot and the new location! There's so much more parking and a great ambience. I recently went in and got a harvest salad and an iced coffee and it was delicious. Very cute space inside, and there are tables outside to enjoy the weather as well. Definitely a go-to!“
“McDonald's remains a reliable choice for a quick and tasty meal. The menu offers a variety of classic options, and their signature burgers and fries never disappoint.The drive-thru service is efficient, making it a convenient option for busy days. The staff is generally friendly and accommodating, ensuring a smooth and pleasant ordering experience.While the food is consistently good, I wish they would expand their healthier options to cater to those looking for more nutritious choices.Overall, McDonald's remains a go-to fast-food destination, providing satisfying meals at affordable prices. I recommend it for anyone seeking a quick and tasty dining option.“
