The ultimate sugar rush.

I did the Knoxville Underground Donut/Sweet Treats tour and it did not disappoint. It's an awesome mix of local history, cool street art (the murals in Strong Alley are gorgeous), and a ton of baked goods. We tried everything from melt-in-your-mouth beignets to local bakery cookies and biscuits. The guide was incredibly friendly and gave us great insider tips for other restaurants to try while in town. My only piece of advice? Wear comfortable walking shoes and maybe skip breakfast!

Operator response
