Wild Love Bakehouse

Wild Love Bakehouse has earned its spot as one of the best bakeries in Knoxville for good reason. Their pastries are as pretty as they are delicious—croissants, pies, biscuits, you name it. The space is airy and minimalist with plenty of seating, making it just as ideal for casual breakfast dates as for solo laptop time.

It’s the kind of place you’d take a label rep or a client you want to impress with something a little more elevated than the average coffee run. The pastries are high-end and made fresh daily, the sandwiches are worth staying for, and the staff is genuinely kind.
