    I never write reviews but I had to for this place! Was searching for a place to stop in Knoxville for brunch on our way back home. Ended up stumbling upon one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in a long time!! I got the breakfast burrito with the coloradito sauce which was delicious, and my mom got the OliBea pancakes. They are lemon pancakes and we both agree they are the best pancakes we’ve ever had! The service was also very good. What a great find and definitely worth the 15 minute wait for a table!!!

    Great service...they even brought our kids little animal toys to play with. And the food was AMAZING! I may never be able to enjoy another pancake again!

    It's a phenomenal place to eat with excellent service and incredible food. I feel this place e could use a little more comfortable seating as they utilize the tiny wooden stools and communal tables that is often indicative of the stereotypical hip Knoxville cafe. I'm a 200 pound man. I hardly can fit on the stools in these places..... but man, the food is delicious. The owner is a sweetheart and the same goes for the small crew that operates. You get the feeling that they love it there, and that they truly believe in the food they serve. And they should.

    Two thumbs way up for the food, Service, presentation, and taste.

    I love the small, rustic atmosphere of this cafe that also succeeds in having a modern aura. Amazing food and friendly staff. A great place for a brunch date or even just a coffee at the bar. The location is in a good place although a bit out of the way. It is well worth it.

    The food was absolutely phenomenal. I have never met a better smashed potato and will spend the rest of my days trying to replicate it. The biscuits are the best combination of fluffy and flaky. The eggs clearly come from the happiest chickens ever. And that pork belly! I realize it all sounds simple, but my dudes. Nowhere ever manages to cook ALL the things so well. Either the pork belly is under cooked, the potatoes are oily, or the biscuit is dry. None of that is the case here.

    The only downside is that the front of house needs to figure out what they are doing. Communal seating is a thing that works in other places in the country. If you're going to do carry out orders, grab some phone numbers. The place is too good to not be more organized in the front.
