    Biscuit with honey, cheddar cheese, egg & sausage
    Michaela H.

    THE BEST BISCUIT I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! It was crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The fixin's were made to order and oh so fresh. Seriously so good. You can tell how much care and love go into each order as they are all handmade by Matt himself as he truly is a one man show. He is genuinely having a blast while making and serving his guests. It's a great atmosphere. With that being said, be prepared to wait, for a long time. We got there about 10 minutes before opening and were about 30th in line. We didn't get our food until an hour later. Just as long of a line when we were done eating as there was when it opened. We were not expecting to wait that long and almost left, but everyone in line said that it is well worth the wait, so we stayed. I'm very glad we did. We went on a Saturday morning in the summer so we took turns checking out the farmers market just a few blocks away to help pass time. Great move there! We will definitely be back the next time we are in Knoxville, this place is delish.

    Just bacon and a regular biscuit
    Maureen N.

    Heard good things about this place from a colleague. So decided to check it out. Sadly, although I arrived within an hour of opening, he had already sold out of the blueberry biscuit. So I opted for the regular biscuit. Overall, the biscuit wasn't impressive. It was small and not flaky. Not up to par with others I've had. To worsen matters, would have expected more slices of bacon if I'm to be charged $3. Was a disappointing visit.

    Matt is his small but efficient kitchen!

    I have been wanting to visit this place for quite awhile now, and I actually did try one other time and he was all sold out! So I thought that I would come earlier this time...welllllllll.....They open at 9am and we arrived at 9:45.....he was already sold out of his regular biscuits and the blueberry ones. He only had a few of the garlic cheddar left!!!! So, we tried the garlic cheddar with egg and cheese and my husband had a cup of coffee. BEST BISCUIT IN KNOXVILLE!!!!!! My husband said that his coffee was very good also! We definitely are going to come back! Matt is so warm, friendly, laid back and yes - fun! I ask him if I could take his picture for my review and he said sure - then he insisted that we take a selfie together and not smile!!! So much personality along with his incredible baking talents! He visits with everyone and is full of real good ole Southern charm. The place is very small inside and Matt is a one man show. But he is so efficient that he doesn't really need anyone else. There are a few tables outside where you can sit and enjoy every bite of this deliciousness! I would highly recommend that you get there before 9am.

    Taste the goodness of the biscuit.

    Yeah there's a wait. Guess what? There's a wait for a reason. And if you know how to run a business this is the right way to do it. Make them wanting to come back...had a blueberry biscuit w sausage, honey, butter and double cheese. Taste the goodness of the biscuit!

    Blueberry biscuits with egg, cheese and smoked sausage
    Lori W.

    Stumbled across this little gem... Really busy, tiny place tucked inside the courtyard across the street from the courthouse. The blueberry biscuits here are amazing. I ordered the blueberry biscuits, smoked sausage, egg and cheese. He charges for each item you add onto it. Deee-licous!! I would definitely be back, but bring your patience..he is the only one working here. Long lines. But he knows his regulars.

    Today's Special
    Matthew H.

    Best biscuit in Tennessee! Top 5 best in the southeast. The meticulous attention to detail when Matt prepares your biscuit of choice is an experience all on its own. Every biscuit is prepared with TLC. Please be patient and don't be rude. Two necessities when experiencing this delicacy. The crunchy exterior pairs so well with the spice from the cream cheese spread. Absolutely phenomenal. I also ordered an iced latte, which was great, and a plain biscuit with jelly. Lovely morning meal.

It's kind of hidden and we were curious to try it. We walked in and were greeted with a massive display of chocolates of every kind. Next to the chocolate display, there were cookies and other pastries. The shop was refreshingly cool and very pleasant with wood furniture along with an old school wood bench. The place is small but if you had time, you could definitely enjoy your snack inside. The two women working there were very pleasant and friendly. We ordered a chai latte hot for me, a cold chai latte for my son and my wife ordered a caramel macchiato. To be clear, we were there for my wife. She loves coffee but it is a rare thing when she finds coffee that she likes. More often than not, we go to a promising coffee shop and it falls short. When my wife's face lit up with a smile after her first sip of her caramel macchiato, I was thrilled! There are few things prettier than my wife smiling from joy or, in this case having a great cup of coffee. Since we were in a chocolate shop, I had to order at least a piece of chocolate. The flavors were all different and quirky but it was the apple caramel that caught my fancy. It didn't disappoint!! So, if you're in the mood for coffee, chai or anything else in the way of a beverage and also love chocolate, this is the place for you!! Thanks, Coffee and Chocolate!!!

The place had 2 customers silently sitting and maybe working on their computers but the whole place felt sterile and lifeless. I wasn't greeted and stood at the counter for a few minutes while the lone employee arranged items until I finally asked if I could order. I wanted to sample a variety- so I got an apple fritter, a snickerdoodle donut, a buttermilk old fashioned, and a blueberry Pączki. The apple fritter was the best of those 4. The snickerdoodle was just a traditional cinnamon sugar donut. The base was a bit dry yet also tasted oily. The buttermilk old fashioned had a similar greasy flavor and not the tang I'd expect from this type of donut. The Pączki was just a minimally filled jelly donut...and the dough was very greasy. Normally, the dough is more bready and has a more rich flavor. The ones I've always eaten in the past are heavily filled. This place seems like it has potential but it just lacks the quality or personality I'm looking for in a local gem. Nothing was awful but nothing was great either.

I ordered a standard hot latte no added flavor just 2% milk. What I got was a full bodied, rich and smooth cup of coffee. The roast has no bitterness. Very enjoyable.

It paired so well with our coffees. It was fresh and a nice balance of crisp tart and warm apple. We also brought one of our dogs with us and Awaken is very pet friendly.

The cinnamon and honey flavor was sweet and strong and it had a great ratio of coffee to milk. Would happily order again! My one complaint is service was kind of...icy? I dunno, the barista never approached or asked if I had any questions and just generally gave the vibe that she'd rather not be helping me. It didn't feel very welcoming, but she wasn't outright rude, either. Still, coffee is the most important thing, and in that regard they absolutely delivered!
