"Yummy baked goods, limited options for dairy allergies. I ended up with an oat milk chai and a pastrami sandwich sans cheese. We came with a larger group and the server was very clearly annoyed with us and seemed even more annoyed when we tried to clarify items due to the above mentioned dairy allergy. It was quick service and got some yummy bites on pastries. Cool decor as well. Long lines, but it moves fast."

"When we arrived at Potchke at around noon time on a Tuesday afternoon, we could see that Chef Laurence Faber has quite a culinary following. The outside was buzzing with happy lunch couples and the inside was getting quite crowded as well. I got in line, while my better half grabbed a seat along the windows. I like how airy and bright the inside of Potchke is, with many live plants lining the windows and a whole lot of retro vibes. There's also a fireplace nook room where you can sit and enjoy your meal and read a book/work. Being a Ukrainian native, I wanted to try the borscht on my first visit. I loved the flavor and how Chef Faber added mushrooms to his version, but what bothered me was that the veggies were half raw!! I've tried many variations of borscht growing up as a child in Ukraine, and the grated veggies were always fully cooked. I ended up taking half home, and cooking it all the way through. I loved the pampushki (bread rolls) that the borscht came with so much and they reminded me of the ones back home. My cappuccino was absolutely heavenly, one of the best that I've had in Knoxville. I do want to come back to Potchke and try the matzo ball soup next time and also their famous babka. Will update my review when I return!"

"The taste is light for cappuccino. Food is delicious. We ordered 1. Lox bialy (open faces) - freshly prepared. it was yummy & pretty filling. I'd recommend sandwich & maybe order other bakery/cake if insufficient, unless you like bagel... 2. green goddess fritatta sandwich - yummy with crispy dialysis, cheese, fresh vegi & pumpkin and it was just nice for light eater. we wanted to try babka but it was no more when arrived in the afternoon. next time will be early... . So, we ordered an apple coffee cake, which didn’t taste like apple & coffee cake, but i still enjoyed it as the addition of nuts, slight sugar & cinnamon on top made each bite another layer of light nutty flavor and crunchy texture."

"This is my first time eating food from a Michelin star restaurant and it completely lived up to the hype. I would have payed double. My wife and I could not think of a better sandwich we’ve had in our lives. The Babkas were amazing. The chai latte is perfect, sweet creamy not too spicy. The 5¢ seltzer was hilariously only five cents. The room is bright and cozy, about a 15min wait. It was a little tricky to find, as there’s no good sign on the road. But overall an exceptional"

"Amazing atmosphere and decor. Plenty of coffee options and great sandwiches. The open face lox on an everything bialy was absolutely delicious. If you’re in Knoxville, Tennessee it’s a must stop!"
