    Well, I ran through the drive through, so I can't really speak to the atmosphere, but it's Autumn Squash Salad season and that's the only soup I actually like, so I got some and yep it was yummy.

    This is always a great place to hangout and talk with friends when you go dutch. They have great soups, salads, sandwiches and my favorite is the Pecan braid pastry. I have met people here to have a meal and a quick meeting. Not for a board meeting just one on one. They have great beverage options too, coffees, teas and soda. I used to like their potato soup but they got rid of that, so instead I always get their broccoli cheddar. This location is on Knoxville on your way toward the Dunlap area.

    Love this broccoli cheese soup, french bread baguette, cinnamon crunch bagels with honey walnut cream cheese. The kid meal is available for a small serving of soup and baguette.

    the woman at the drive thru window on 9/25 at approximately 7:10 was unbelievably rude. i went to the speaker and said i had a pickup order, apparently i accidentally put it as “in cafe pickup” which she rudely informed me of. then all she said was “window.” when i drive up to the window my bag is being held out the window and she has a nasty look on her face. i say thank you, she says nothing and rolls her eyes as the window shuts. to this lady, i am so sorry that you had to walk an extra 10 steps to grab the bag, and im also sorry that you clearly hate your job and your life. your bitter attitude has clearly clouded your judgement and as a result you are unable to appropriately handle guests, even when they mildly upset you. what i did was not a big deal, and a common mistake i’m sure. since that small error of mine ruined your morning, i hope every guest with a pickup order makes the same foolish mistake i have. now most people would say “i will never be back to this establishment,” I however will be coming back, and i hope i get the same lady every time. :)
