Wild Love Bakehouse
1625 N Central St, Knoxville, TN
Crema's Take
“Wild Love Bakehouse is a beloved Knoxville destination where excellent coffee pairs beautifully with some of the area's most sought-after pastries and creative drinks like their standout matcha lattes. The cozy, family-friendly space has built a passionate following for its quality baked goods and specialty beverages, though its popularity means you'll often find a line and might want to arrive early to snag your favorite items before they sell out. It's the kind of place where people keep coming back despite the crowds, drawn by the warmth of the spot and the genuine care that goes into both the coffee and the baked goods.”

Used to be one of my favorite places and the last three times we’ve been there all of the pastries have been overcooked. I added a photo- it’s even hard to eat. Disappointed as they used to be 5 stars.
Absolutely adore Wild Love. Some of the best pastries I've had anywhere and it's such a treat to have them in Knoxville. Their bread is also delicious. There's almost always a line but it is absolutely worth waiting for. The coffee is pretty good here as well. Follow their socials for updates on special pastries because they sell out quickly. The green onion feta scone is one of the most coveted items in our house and is potentially one of the single best food items I've ever consumed and I will stand by that. Absolutely perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and the exact texture you want in a scone.
Such a cute spot with delicious pastries! This spot was booming today with customers, so finding a spot to sit was challenging. But we loved it and will definitely be back!
Coffee is very delicious! Wonderful yogurt parfait. I assume baked products are good too, but we could get any😔 We visited on Sunday between 11am and 12pm, and they were sold out of all pastries 🙄 this was a bit disappointing. It would be nice to plan accordingly, or mention that somewhere, about making limited batches.
Wild Love Bakery is absolutely delightful! I got a green tea oat milk matcha latte, which might have been the best I’ve ever had—so creamy and flavorful. I also tried one of their chocolate chip cookies, which was layered and delicious: crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, and so yummy. The granola looks incredible, the croissants are gorgeous, and I love all the merchandise they have, especially the cute farmers market bags. Everything feels fresh and thoughtfully made. The customer service is excellent as well—so friendly and sweet, with young people who clearly love working there and are happy to answer any questions. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience
