What a wonderful find! Unless you learned about this place from someone else or online, you could walk by and not notice it. Super friendly guy. The biscuit was warm and absolutely delicious! My coffee was on point as well. Highly recommend for a quick grab n go though there are maybe 4 seats inside if you need to eat there.

Not the best picture but a warm cheddar and garlic biscuit with egg and tomato! SO good and the owner was a great guy to talk to with such a positive attitude. They sell out so make sure to try and go early. Love that you can add the egg, bacon, jelly and all the toppings.

We were so happy to have found this Knoxville Gem! You can tell the passion that is put into this place and its food. He was so excited about everything he made, we were very excited to try it! He even offered a sample of something new he was working on. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable. We ordered to go online and it was very easy. Everything was awesome and fresh. I cant wait to come back here to try something else!

Wow. This biscuit exceeded my expectations. Buttery, flakey, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, just the right amount of cheesey. This guy knows what hes doing! We needed a quick bite to eat for lunch while on our road trip and Matts was the perfect little stop. We parked on Market St (a few metered parking spots) and walked the block to the shop. It was around noon and understandable that he was out of bacon. Im sure it would make any sandwich better, but our build-your-own biscuit, egg and cheese sandwiches were possibly the best Ive had. The chipotle cream cheese is a perfect spicy addition, highly recommend. The baby fully approved of his plain buttered biscuit and was drooling for more. Dont pass up this place. Ill look forward to the day when he has locations in Indy!

Lovely flakey, cakey biscuits in several types: Plain, cheese, cheese & garlic, feta & chive, depending on the day. Fillings include sausage, bacon, eggs, etc. Go early: He closes when he sells out, which was in about 2 hours the Saturday morning I was there. Neat place to sit outside, plus a few window stools inside. Parking is nonexistent except for a paid lot & distant street parking. Website menu not really useful because he sells out. Just go & order from his chalkboard. Worth the adventure!

Totally agree with everyone about the passion that Matt put into his food! Fantastic quality and I must say, the best tasting southern biscuits I’ve ever had! He really took the time to get to know us and share a little about himself too. This is exactly why you should support local businesses!

Great biscuits. I read a great review about this place. Guy was from SC and said these were the best biscuits hed ever had. That guy obviously hasnt been to Callies hot little biscuit in Charleston. However, Matt Robbs is in my top five favorite biscuit joints ever. Thats high praise from this foodie.

I cannot believe it has taken me this long to stop in for breakfast. Everything youve heard is true. The best biscuit I have ever had, garlic biscuit, sausage, egg, and cheese. They are moist, with a flakey top and DO NOT crumble apart when eating. Amazing!!!. Had a great convo with Matt that was an added bonus to starting my day. This place is a MUST TRY!

The most incredible biscuit sammie I’ve ever had! Would drive back to Knoxville from DC just for this. Word to the wise: get there early because they do sellout on weekends! Matt is such a kind and passionate owner, and deserves all the success. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We saw this amazing biscuit and coffee place on our adventures in town and knew we had to try it. We went the next morning…it did not disappoint! We felt so lucky, we got the last three delicious biscuits. We had our with jam and butter…so soft and buttery ❤️ Come early cause they sell out and you don’t want to miss out. P.s. no picture because we were starving and couldn’t wait 😂

First timer today. As I’m from Florida I’m kinda sad I won’t have the pleasure of making this at least a weekly stop. The BEST biscuit sandwich I have had. Don’t get me started on the service. Top notch!!! Matt is the most outgoing and friendly owner I have seen in quite some time. Thanks for the great conversation and experience. I’m sure your 11 year old daughter is very proud! Cudos to you Matt!!!

Best biscuits I’ve had that weren’t made by my mother-in-law. Tender and flaky inside with enough crunch on the outside. Perfect flavor.Don’t sleep on the coffee either. One of the best lattes I’ve ever had. And the owner was super friendly and nice, even though he was swamped.Loved it. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Knoxville.

Review №21

Such a neat little find in downtown Knox! The service is great and the owner is so courteous towards customers! They are only open for to-go orders at the moment, but everything is fast and tasty nonetheless! Highly recommend the Nancy for the ultimate flavor experience. The chai latte was also amazing!

Best tasting biscuit in the city. Thank goodness I can finally get a good, homemade biscuit that isn’t a greasy, gastrointestinal nightmare. The coffee and lattes are also amazing. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to find this place. Do yourself a favor and go ASAP.

Highly recommend this as great go-to local coffee & delicious biscuit spot!Matt is always super personable and wants to make sure you love what you eat. We ate here about a month ago and have been craving the blueberry jam ever since. So when we knew we were headed towards a full day of hiking in Ijams we placed a Togo order, stopped in and picked up 4 sausage biscuits and you guessed it...all with that delicious blueberry jam! & a iced coffee ☕️☺️Another great start to our day & really helped satisfy our craving. Thanks again Matt!

Review №35

We walked up to what we thought was the entrance to Matt Robbs Biscuits & Brew, 800 Market Street, found a courtyard and guarded, locked door -- but that was the entrance to the Baker Federal Building! Robbs B & B is nestled in the entrance, small and neat with a display of the best biscuits within an eight hour drive. Probably the safest biscuit business in the world, too. We sampled the biscuits and gravy and a biscuit, cheese, bacon and gravy sandwich with fresh brewed, black coffee. The best. If youre lucky, Matt will be there to talk and share biscuit stories and great recommendations about Knoxville food.

Review №36

If you havent been here yet, GO! This place is all-around great. Cutest little corner coffee shop in Downtown Knoxville. And I do mean little! With covid rules, only 2 customers can be inside at a time, but there are tables out in an open breezeway to sit at to wait, which is preferred right now anyway. All orders are placed through mattrobbs.com. It can be completely no-contact pickup if you wanted. Prices are normal cafe prices, but cheaper (and tastier) than K-Brew. Matt is personable and friendly and makes the best brown sugar latte you will ever have! Plus peep the pumpkin foam art pic! The biscuits are flaky and amazing, the bacon is cooked so perfectly, even the pig would approve. Check it out. You wont be disappointed. 👍👍

Review №44

Hands down best biscuit I’ve eaten creating a party of flavors in my mouth. Especially the exquisitely cooked crispy bacon that melts in your mouth. I only wish I had gone the first day of my trip instead of last. Matt has also created a home away from home where he welcomes everyone as if they were family. He is also the nicest guy. Try the Nancy. Delish.

I was sceptical about a garlic cheddar biscuit for breakfast but let me say what a pleasant surprise it was! One of the best breakfasts Ive had in Knoxville. Matt was a absolute joy to meet. He even knew my hometown of Polk County TN. (1 1/2 hours away). Definitely will be back!

Review №53

Oh my, the best biscuits. I usually don’t go for biscuits because they tend to be dry, crumbly, and salty, but Matt Robb’s are the epitome of biscuit perfection. I love the vibe and cleanliness of the little restaurant itself, the owner is kind and welcoming, the coffee is incredibly smooth, and the food is amazing. I can’t believe it took me this long to finally stop by, but it’s such a hidden gem and well worth the trip.

Review №55

Okay, I have to admit, I’ve had coffee from San Fran to NYC, and this is the best coffee I’ve ever had. Matt’s “Cold Brew” is an original recipe he altered from a brew he tried in New York and brought it here to the south for everyone to enjoy. Not only is the coffee amazing, but his made-from-scratch biscuits are impossible to beat. Originally from the north, I had no idea biscuits could taste so good. Whether you’re a Knoxville native or just in town for the day, I highly recommend stopping in here for a biscuit and a latte.

Review №56

First, the biscuits are so wonderful. Ive been a customer since the very beginning and not only has Matt maintained a great product, he is constantly improving and adding new things. In addition to the biscuits + coffee, Matt makes everyone who walks in the door feel like a regular. Whether you live in Knoxville or are just passing through -- stopping in for a biscuit is a must!

Review №59

By far one of the best places for food and coffee in Knoxville. Matt will go out of his way to ensure you have an excellent experience, way above what you have to pay for it! He even remembers many, if not all customers by name, which is so rare and refreshing. Dont waste another minute if you havent been here yet, its one of my all-time favorites. No brainer.

This place is absolutely amazing! Me and my fiancé are visiting from out of town, and this is the only place we have been repeat customers. The biscuits are amazing, customer service is amazing!

Review №65

These were amazing! I never would’ve put strawberry jam on a biscuit, but it was his recommendation and was so good. It’s honestly a little pricey, because they charge for everything you add like $1 for bacon + $1 for cheese etc, but it was very tasty and filling. We would definitely go back.

We stumbled upon Matt’s Biscuits because we had been turned away at a different breakfast place on Market Square. So glad we did. His biscuits are phenomenal. Talking to Matt also was delightful and he made suggestions for food choices on our further journey. Thank you Matt, keep doing what you are doing.

This is hands down the best biscuit Ive ever had. I was skeptical of a chipotle cream cheese on my breakfast sandwich, but after trying it, I regret not eating it sooner. Matt Robb is a super nice guy that happens to have the best breakfast in Knoxville. 10/10 would recommend.

Just fantastic. Wish I could eat a biscuit from here every morning. This was my first visit. I got a plain biscuit with bacon, egg and honey parsley butter and my husband got a plain biscuit with sausage and cheddar. Both were excellent ( and the bacon was perfect - I am picky about that)- cant wait to try my next combination and it was such a super friendly place.

First, the customer service we received couldnt have been any friendlier, or accommodating, which is always a pleasant experience. Thank you!Second, the biscuits are pretty amazing. Lightly crisped/browned outside, and fluffy inside. This is a big and filling biscuit. We had sausage, egg, and cheese. We will visit earlier next time to try some of the other unique biscuit creations.Oh, and the cold brew was full-bodied without any bitterness, and the little side of sweet cream made my drink super satisfying.Definitely worth the visit :)

Review №98

Great food, great coffee, and great price. When searching for a new grab and go breakfast spot, pay this shop a visit. This was exactly the kind of place I was searching for; tasty and savory biscuits that pair well with a warm cup of craft coffee. If you want a bird food pastry made with dry oats and garden herbs, then feel free to visit some of the other local artisan shops.......but if you want an easy breakfast as hearty and Americana as Matt’s beard, then check out his place.Support locally owned businesses and visit Matt Robb’s Biscuits & Brew.
