Crema's Take

This beloved downtown Knoxville gem transports visitors straight to a Parisian café with its thoughtfully curated aesthetic and authentic French crêpes that keep regulars returning for years. Beyond the Instagram-worthy ambiance, they've earned their stellar reputation by pairing expertly crafted Lavazza coffee with both sweet and savory crêpes that locals rave about—the lemon crêpe with whipped cream and Parisian breakfast options are particular standouts. It's the kind of independent spot where the emotional connection to place runs deep, making it feel less like a breakfast destination and more like a cherished memory in edible form.

I feel like I am back in Paris ! To The owners - C’est Magnifique! The breakfast Parisian is excellent ! Pairs well with their Bloody Mary & Lavazza cafe! Great way to start the day ! It’s an our little piece of Paris Paradise in Knoxville ! Top Notch ! The ambiance is parfait!

This is hands down the most delicious crepe place and, for me, one of the best in the world. This place holds so many memories from my very first days in the United States, and beyond the emotional connection, the food itself is truly delicious. The crepes are amazing, with great options for both sweet and savory cravings. What makes it even more special is its location in downtown Knoxville, close to everything. I truly hope this place stays open forever, so every time I come back, I can relive the same flavors and the same beautiful memories. 🤍

Came in just before the Sunday morning mimosa rush, and got to enjoy a very nice selection of savory crepes. In general, I am partial to a savory composition rather than the far more common sweet ones, so it was nice to see a place fully dedicated to the craft. They have a great selection of coffee to pair with your meal, all of which can be enjoyed in their cozy lofted setup. The beignets were good, but I lack the qualifications for a proper judgement of authenticity.

Very cute gem in downtown Knoxville. Has a very cool aesthetic and the crêpes were delicious. The lemon crêpe with the whipped cream was absolutely delicious. I was visiting from San Diego and this place actually reminds me of a really tasty crêpe spot in Palm Springs.

Meh. I have been to better crepe places. The menu has good varieties but there is no uniqueness to it. The gal who took our order appeared to have seen better days I had the roast beef crepes (pictured) and my bf has ham & cheese crepe. The ham & cheese was very basic, no effort at all to elevate the dish. The roast beef looks better but taste wise nothing super tasty The cafe decor was alright Again nothing unique about this place.
