It wasn't yet cold enough to have the fire going, but I'm sure in a few more weeks, it'll be nice and toasty in there. My go to order is always their house coffee with the lavender syrup and my better half gets the iced chai. He says it's his favorite chai in all of Tennessee!! They always have a drinks specials board and some yummy baked goods in their case (muffins, danishes, and scones). I also love their little gifts that you can buy for home, such as the glazed coffee cups. Other perks, include a filtered water station and a plant swap station. This place is just my favorite for coffee--if you haven't been, you're truly missing out.

The ordering process is efficient with orders taken at the counter and food is delivered to your table. Customers are expected to bus their tables to disposals near the entry way, not unlike a fast food establishment. Like almost all establishment today, A tipping screen is built into the payment process. My tipping rule is - If I have to stand at a counter to order, I do not tip.

The only ding in the service is that they wouldn't give me the recipe for the hand pies! I explained that they were the closest thing to my Great Aunt Ruby's hand pies I'd ever found and I needed that recipe. I explained that I was from Utah and would never be back again to enjoy their hand pies. I told them it was important to my family history to be able to make their recipe. No, ma'am. I could not talk them into divulging their recipe. I'm sad that u will never be that way again. If they put out a recipe book, I will be the first to order it.

My husband also really liked his latte. We sat inside and ate some of our goodies. We took the rest home for my mum for Mother's Day. My family loved them, too. Nice space.

I stopped here to grab some treats on my way out of Knoxville. This bakery/cafe is absolutely…read moreadorable inside - bright, spacious, welcoming - and has some limited outdoor seating too. If I'd had more time, I would have loved hanging out here for a while. I only managed to get here about 45 minutes to close, so their selection was understandably if somewhat disappointingly quite picked over. I wound up with a cranberry oat scone and a blueberry and raspberry hand tart. The employee was very pleasant and warm. I appreciated her eagerness to help and positive attitude despite my late arrival. The baked goods sadly didn't really live up to my expectations. The cranberry oat scone was the much better of the two; it was pleasantly sweet and had the proper scone texture and only a little dry. Unfortunately, the hand tart had several edges that I discovered later had been burnt. This impacted the flavor of the whole item and sadly diminished it greatly. The fruit filling was tasty at least, though I didn't get much raspberry from it -- mostly blueberry. I'd be down to try again in the future, just would come earlier in the day when the selection is a bit larger and the products available are a bit more "choice," let's say. I appreciated the kind service and lovely vibes!

We came for a late lunch around 2 on the weekend after Christmas, it was surprisingly not busy & we walked in. Our server Chris was on top of his game & patient with our party of 5 & while we browsed the menu for a bit brought out the complimentary apple fritters & juice as soon as we were seated & was really kind enduring my FILs joking during the meal with a smile & quip here or there. I had the bbq chicken wings which is not something I'd usually go for but they looked good & they really were. They were big & had a nice crunch & they sauced them WELL. Fries were solid also. My mother in law is a lady fond of few dishes & one of them is chicken salad. She gave the one here high praise. She also really enjoyed the birds in the case in the dining room. If you've got a large group or picky northerners I think you could do a lot worse than coming here.

The bread is a giant loaf which doesn't make any sense to carry around at an amusement park and is pretty dry with just some sticky cinnamon goo on the bottom. I don't know why they don't serve it by the slice or maybe in the form of a roll? We tried some coffee with our cinnamon bread and it really wasn't very good though claiming to serve Starbucks. If your family eats a lot of sugary bready things, you may enjoy it more and it might make more sense to grab a loaf on your way out of the park to take home. Otherwise, I would say skip the bread and go for the rides instead!
