Best Donuts in Knoxville

"Varieties include Vanilla-Iced, Boston Cream, and my personal favorite, Strawberry Old Fashioned. You might see Krispy Kreme and Duck Doughnuts on your way to this shop. While those have their place, don’t get distracted."

"If you have a picky bunch of coworkers to please, pick up a dozen from this Halls shop and you're sure to get an option for everyone. The donut shop closed "'permanently'" on Jan. 12."

"From delicious milkshakes on a hot summer day to chocolate covered strawberries on Valentine’s Day, you’ll find that stopping in at Farmhouse Sweets is a wonderful idea for every season. It’s the perfect pit stop after a day in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or an afternoon at the SpeedZone Fun Park on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. During your visit, you’ll find pralines, truffles, fudge, a variety of candied apples and much more."

"Farmhouse Sweets​ is located on the Parkway, so you should have no trouble finding this sweet shop with a local vibe. When we say local, that should clue you in that you’re going to get a good amount of Southern homemade treats — not to mention the ice cream. There’s just no resisting good homemade ice cream, and you’ll have plenty else to choose from when you pay them a visit on vacation!"

"The Sweet Shoppe is located in Dollywood and is one of the most well known candy stores in Pigeon Forge. With taffy and candy apples that have been described as heavenly you won’t want to miss out on making a stop the next time you’re at Tennessee’s top theme park. Chocolate lovers will find plenty of treats to satisfy their taste buds."

"All of the sweet treats at The Sweet Shoppe of the South are made fresh daily, with the freshest ingredients, like real butter, fresh eggs and local produce. Here’s a sample of some of the flavors you can expect to see at their new cupcake shop in Pigeon Forge:"

What makes it great: This park offers a quarry that’s great for paddling, as well as a scenic overlook (one of several) that is just a short walk from the parking area."

"If you're reading this in time, make this next destination an immediate, top priority. During the first few weeks of July, a dazzling sunflower display explodes at Forks of the River Wildlife Management Area . This seasonal sea of yellow swaying in the breeze is one of Knoxville's most stunning unsung sights."

"A few more Sunflower photos because they are in bloom and looking spectacular right now. You might like to see this Adorable Sunflower and dog photo session"
