Crema's Take

This is a made-from-scratch biscuit sanctuary where Matt and his team treat each sandwich like it deserves your undivided attention—expect to settle in and savor, because these aren't grab-and-go affairs. The garlic pepperjack and blueberry sausage combinations have people thinking about their breakfast days later, and the simple-but-stellar menu means everything is done right rather than done fast. Fair warning: they sell out quickly, so arrive early and bring your appetite and patience, because this is the kind of place worth the wait.

What a tasty breakfast sandwich! The menu is simple but the flavors are phenomenal. We liked the garlic biscuit with pepperjack but the blueberry and sausage we loved. And Matt is definitely a character and fun to chat with. Get there early!

This is the breakfast biscuit I’m still thinking about, days later. Matt’s hit the spot. Excellent service, glad I got there before it sold out. I’ll be back.

Had a chance to get breakfast here on a trip to Knoxville. The time and attention that goes into the food here is evident from the moment you walk in the door. Matt has it down to a science, and the results are amazing. Got a blueberry biscuit with sausage egg and cheese and a garlic and cheddar biscuit with bacon egg and pepper jack. The preparation includes a few minutes back in the oven to give some crispiness on the bottom of the biscuit and nicely melted cheese. Really exceptional! On top of that, Matt is a super friendly guy and provides excellent service. Came back on our second day in town to run it back. The line is worth the wait to get something really fantastic. Will be going here every time I'm in Knoxville!

Only go if you have all day. First off- the biscuits are fine. It's a biscuit, it won't change your life. My real issue is the process. Walked up to grab a biscuit sandwich before I took off for the airport. I was taking it to go so the 30 minutes I had to get it was plenty of time- or so I thought. I walk up and the line is out the door. Not an issue, like I said I have plenty of time, and it's a small space so the line's not as bad as it looks. But it takes FOREVER. I finally get to place my order and you can tell Matt cares about his biscuits. He takes great care assembling and making them perfectly. He then places my biscuit on the baking sheet. Great! I'll get my biscuit in a couple minutes and be on my way. Nope, Matt proceeds to help the next four people in line the same way. Perfectly assembling his biscuits, no urgency, no rush, then placing them on the same baking sheet. I had to stand there for another 10-15 minutes until the baking sheet is full! I may as well have been waiting in the line with the people 5 spots behind me because all our food was cooked together. Then I had to wait another 5 or so minutes for it to cook before he took them out of the oven, wapped mine and gave it to me. All totalled it took around 50 minutes to get a perfectly acceptable biscuit sandwich- and now I was late for my flight. So what started as a relaxed last morning in town turned into a stressful pain thanks to Matt and his biscuits. Long story short, biscuits are good but not worth the time. 50 minutes for food at a counter service restaurant is simply unacceptable.

I hate biscuits! That should tell you how good this place is! They run out of ingredients quickly, so we only had the egg and cheese biscuits. They were incredible! Imagine having their sausage or bacon or whatever else they have. The biscuits are made from scratch and you can immediately taste the difference! Go early! Taste excellence! (Sorry the pictures are of half-eaten egg biscuits, they’re too good)
