Best brunch in all of downtown Knoxville. Every dish is artistically plated and just so incredibly flavorful. I felt experimental and ordered the peaches & cream babka, but it was maybe the best one yet. Wonderfully balanced with the slightly sweet cream on the side.

Fantastic place for a quick bite. Sandwiches are really tasty, and the baked goods are great as well. We grabbed a babka, bialy, and a couple other sandwiches. It was all delicious. The came with the biggest caper I’ve ever seen, and a couple pickles – the latter were not exactly my style, but were still good. The lox bagel I ate was excellent, would come back just for that. Staff were very nice, and the place had an upbeat atmosphere. I’d happily return for more!

My husband and I went here for lunch today. Everything was amazing. The atmosphere was bright and friendly, service was amazing and the food was incredible. We got a lox bialy, matzo ball soup, potato blintz and the rip n dip. Everything was delicious and so flavorful. 10/10 would recommend. Shout out to our friend and sous chef Andrew! Thanks for the best service and perfect food!

Cute place with great food! I got it to go for a work meeting and it was hot and freshly made, tasted amazing! I went back to get some coffee and one of their babkas — the chocolate babka was incredible. Soft and just the right amount of sweetness. I wanted to try the peaches and cream, but it was more expensive (which is fair! I just wasn’t looking to spend more than $5). The farmer frittata sandwich I got was very flavorful and the egg was cooked perfectly.

This was a last minute pick and we were not disappointed. One of the best Americanos I’ve had this side of the Atlantic and they can do almost everything gluten free. Which for me as someone who is gluten free I was ecstatic. I had the whitefish bialy and my husband had the mushroom Rueben. The whitefish was delicious but the mushroom Rueben was phenomenal.

This place serves Ukrainian inspired food. We had the Potato Blintz, Lox Bialy, Mushroom Reuben and Bat Mitzvah show stopper. Our favourite was the Lox Bialy which is also dairy free. It is very pleasant and refreshing. The Bat Mitzvah is also very delicious. Decor is simple but gave a lot of happy vibes. I noticed a party area that can be sectioned off. I would come again.

Potchke is at the top of my recommendation list for anyone looking for a spot to eat in Knoxville. Laurence, Emily and their team have created an incredible menu in a welcoming and fun atmosphere. The babkas are a must, the mushroom reuben is incredible, the rip and dip is a go-to – I haven’t had anything there I didn’t love!

So glad we stumbled upon this place!! Atmosphere is laid back and very cool. I ordered the avo tartine, cappuccino, and a pistachio babka. Very reasonably priced at $20ish. Service was fast and the food was absolutely delicious! Wishing I had room to try more. I will be visiting Potchke any time I’m in the area for breakfast!

I’m still dreaming about my rip-n-dip. That cucumber/dill yogurt with the chili oil was to die for. The barista recommended a tomato bialy, and I was not disappointed. My friend got the salmon and lox, she cleaned her plate as well. I will be back!
