I love the grains and produce. The hot meals and deli were great. I loved the lil bread section and my favorite is the olive bread. I always grab a few of yerbs here and a meal. Mostly, I appreciate all the vegetarian friendly options here and so far, what I've gotten has been great. The workers here are always helpful and smiling. I noticed how much happier the shoppers are inside too.

I found these peppers at the outdoor store in downtown Gatlinburg. I am a hot sauce fanatic so I…read morelove to try new sauces and spices, especially when traveling. I purchased the red hot fine ground, spicy verde, and the Tennessee Jerk. The red hot is great on pizza, eggs, and mixed into hummus. I've used the spicy verde on pasta & eggs. The Tennessee Jerk is by far the hottest of the three, and so I have used it a little bit less. They each have their own unique flavor, and you can tell the pepper flakes are fresh. I would highly recommend these to anyone who likes to add heat to their dishes! Thankfully I can order more online & have them shipped to my home!

Our first visit to Tonya Rea's and we're instant fans. With the many coffee shops the world offers,…read moreit's always refreshing and cherished to find a spot that focuses on tea. Shoutout to the wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable Holly, who assisted us for our visit. Their tea is high-quality, and you can taste the care that goes into crafting each cup. The atmosphere of the shop is welcoming, homey, and the people here are so nice and knowledgeable about the products they carry and offer. Loved seeing the different items for sale that are created by various local artisans, too. There is plenty of cozy seating inside as well as a few dog friendly patio tables outside. The visit was relaxed and enjoyable - really a perfect place to unwind with your favorite cuppa. We thoroughly enjoyed the "Knox Fog" (a delicious take on a London Fog) and the "Butter Pecan Latte" (which was SO GOOD with nutty tones). If you're a fan of tea or looking to try something new, I highly recommend stopping by Tonya Rea's Herbal Tea Shop. You won't be disappointed!

Tonya and Holly were so helpful in suggesting what tea to choose on this dreary day. I ended up…read morepicking the hot chai latte and my friend chose the lavender lemonade. We both loved our selections. My friend liked the lavender lemonade so much, that she ordered a second one to take home. They sell loose leaf tea, tinctures, lotions, bath steamers, and so much more. The tea room is decorated so sweetly with string lights and lots of green and lush plants which gives it a very calming and homey feel. We spent a few hours enjoying our tea. They have coloring pencils on their tables and provide complimentary coloring pages. There is limited parking right in front, but we snagged a spot no problem. Can't wait to come back here to try some more of their tea flavors!

After a great dinner at Old Market Square, we walked around in search of coffee for my wife. We…read morecame upon Coffee & Chocolate right off the square. 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!!!

While traversing one of America's longest roads, stopping by Bearden's Blossom Bowls was a high priority! That's because, according to crowd-sourced reviews, this is the top-rated açaí spot along the entire length of this nearly 2,400-mile highway! And yes, it lives up to the hype! I started a humid morning in East Tennessee with a refreshing açaí bowl here. Very professional and assiduous employees greeted me as I entered the store. And although I was just passing through Knoxville, don't think that one of America's most accomplished road trippers is unfamiliar with Vol Country. Although I live elsewhere, UT is my alma mater, I graduated from West High School half a mile away, and my childhood home is only 1,600 feet from Blossom Bowls. So yes, this is home. And while açaí cafés only existed in Brazil the last time I lived here, nonexistent in the U.S. before 2011, I was back home to celebrate one of Bearden's modern adaptations to the culinary scene. Amidst all the reminiscing as I stared out the window toward my old Sequoyah Hills neighborhood, I was enjoying what could be the best açaí bowl I've ever had! All açaí bowls should be judged, above all else, based on the quality of the smoothie base and the granola. The toppings are vital but secondary. And the base of these açaí bowls at Blossom is phenomenal, very flavorful and perfectly textured. But the granola is the star of the show here, chewy with a stunningly good flavor that actually shines above that tangy base! And I also thoroughly enjoyed the copious amounts of fresh fruit carefully decorating the top. Don't miss the bee pollen, a uniquely delicious addition to any bowl! Patrons select six choices from a thorough list of toppings with tremendous variety. And honestly, the mini size is incredibly filling for an affordable price.
