Review I never go to this side of town, and I never even knew The Village Bakery existed--but it truly is a diamond in the rough. It's a very small bakery, but the moment you walk in, you're hit with the most delicious smells. You're surrounded by freshly baked cookies everywhere, and there are old-school toys displayed in a glass case, which makes it really unique and charming. It was so hard to choose from the display case because everything looked amazing. I ended up picking three different kinds of cookies to try, and they did not disappoint--they were all delicious. If you ever find yourself out on Chapman Highway, this place is absolutely worth the stop. Definitely one of the best-kept secrets around. If you want it shorter or more casual (like for Google reviews or Facebook), I can tweak it too. read more

Best pastries in town! Yep, and in SoKno too. I was born and raised in S. Knoxville, only a mile or so from Village Bakery. Our wedding cake (1993), and my most recent b'day treat (cream horn) came from village bakery. Always busy and reminds me of a Boston Bakery. read more

The Village Bakery is a gem. The variety of cookies is impressive, with something for every taste, and every single one was the same excellent quality fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. You can tell real care goes into their baking. I already can't wait to find a reason to go back. Highly recommend. read more

Incredible bakery! I could not recommend this place enough. I almost passed on it because i was looking for breakfast pastries and i couldn't tell if they had them. Luckily, they have a ton of pastry options. They were literally fresh out of the oven when i got there. Very quaint little bakery, super nice staff. You have to try this place. read more

The best bakery in Knoxville. Don't let the small exterior deceive. Everything the bakery makes is the best.

Delicious homemade thumbprint cookies and petit fours! If you want homemade bakery items this is your place!

Always a great experience, awesome peanut butter cookies and best birthday cake ever! Only one bad experience in the 20 yrs I've been ordering from them. Service is always friendly and since you're given a time in which to pick up your order it's always been ready and fresh. Of course it always smells yummy. read more

My two son's Diamond and Rain are addicted to their famous Caramel Walnut fudge. The Village Bakery has the best thumb print cookie on the planet. The entire staff was very sweet, just like their cookies and fudge. read more

See all

Wanted a cake for my Mom's 75th BD. Paid over 100$. Ordered 1/2 chocolate, 1/2 white with Buttercream icing. The icing was nothing but CRISCO & some sugar! Many commented about not liking the icing. It was horrible. Very disappointed in this cake/order. Would have been better served with cake from Walmart! read more

Village Bakery - Strawberry ice cream cake - Bakeries Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Worst of the worst excuse for a King Cake. More like an Ellie Mae cake. Could be used as a defense tool. Was dry, and the following day after being put in a covered cake cover to protect from drying out could use to beat someone up. Lol. Not goid what so ever for the 26 bucks it cost. read more

Small storefront with lovely woman who talked me into a dozen thumbprint cookies. Wish I stuck with half dozen: so melt in your mouth fabulous that I ate way too many. Will have wait to try the strawberry danish: sugar overload for this woman! read more

The woman who owns this use to run the Miller's Bakery downtown back in the 80's and 90's. The best place for thumbprint cookies in town!! THEY ROCK!! The wedding cookies are also good. The wedding cakes look a little cheesy like they are stuck in the 80's. Anyway, go by there and get a few dozen of her thumbprint cookies. They are SOOOO DELICIOUS! read more

Great selection and Staff and everything I purchased was fresh and delicious. I'd say Village Bakery is my favorite bakery stop in all South Knoxville! read more

Fantastic bakery and fabulous people. The thumbprint cookies and petit fours are to die for- melt in your mouth good!

In my opinion one of the best bakeries in Knoxville if not the best. Everything I have ever ordered has always been delicious and beautiful. All of my cakes for birthdays and special events come from village bakery. It's about 30-40 min drive from where I leave and worth every minute for there baked goods and cakes. read more

Come for the thumbprint cookies, stay for the apple stack cake! Of course I have never had anything bad here but the stack cake is a must have! read more

I went in to get delicious cupcakes, then went back in to get lemon cookies that were amazing! I was surprised by how cheap it all was too. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

I was not impressed with them at all. The overall flavor and taste of the cake was great but the appearence of the two cakes I bought looked rushed and as if they came out of my high schoolers Home Ec class. I was to pick up my cakes at 10:30 they were not ready and it took 20 minutes to get them. I'm guessing that is why they looked so bad. The frosting looked terrible, not finished and smooth but very very unprofessional. Had I not been in a hurry and if I could have went someone where else I would have. For the price I paid I expected it to at least look nice. I was ashamed of my cakes. I have pictures if you'd like to see. It was two cake and I asked for the Happy Birthday and decorations to be done. I done good to get the Happy Birthday on there. Very unhappy. I'd been better off going to Food City. read more

I was checking the internet for their business hours when I saw the negative review. These good folks wrote the book on great customer service. My family and I have been driving from West Knoxville for more years than I can remember because of their service and the thumprint cookies. Their thumbprint cookies are not just the best in town, they are simply the best. read more
