I have no idea why this place has good reviews… maybe because it seems like you’re eating healthy..?? The cheese is processed American cheese, possibly even the single wrap variety and the turkey was the same. On top of that, the cheese on the hot panini wasn’t even melted on any of our sandwiches. We ordered a small raspberry smoothie and a medium strawberry banana smoothie and were charged for two mediums. We had two $7 sandwiches, one $5 sandwich, two smoothies and a bag of chips and were over charged by $8! When we questioned the bill we were immediately snapped at by the owner. Aside from all this, previous posters have said this place was clean… there was an open jar of peanut butter just sitting out and several used yogurt containers filled with who knows what that looked like they had been refilled several times without being cleaned. There is also used sunglasses and hats for sale here… kinda weird and just a yucky situation for a food place. I did however like the bread.

It was wonderful. Salad sampler is delicious. I did get a smoothie because the salad sampler has a lot of good filling salads on it. Grace Gault, the owner runs a very clean cafe and she is always smiling and grateful that chose her cafe. I will definitely be back and get one of her yummy smoothies. I am grateful that Farragut has a place that is not fast food and locally owned. There are several other but I think you have to go in to order your food. Miss Grace, I will return..I used the drive thru and the service was wonderful.

I absolutely love coming here. Service is always friendly and food is always delicious! I love the smoothies and the chicken salad sandwich is amazing! Really great portions for the price point and always fresh. ❤️

This is my favorite sandwich place and I’ve been a repeat customer since they opened years ago. Love the store, atmosphere and adore the lady who owns this restaurant. The breakfast croissants and paninis are amazing. Every time I come into town, my visit it isn’t complete without a stop here to get a smoothie and circle panini. Pro tip: nibble a pickle on the side and it’s amazing.Kid-friendliness: They have a lot of cute games and books you can look at with the whole family!

This business has a large variety of fresh, fruit smoothies and food! I like that they have a drive-through, so I can grab something healthy when I'm in a hurry. We typically get drinks here, but the sandwiches are made fresh to order! The decor could definitely be revamped, but the service is good considering everything is made to order!

Ordered a sandwich that I didn't know came with mayo. Once I got my food I realized it had mayo and they refused to remake the sandwich without charging me for a new order. Horrible customer service and told me I should have read all the ingredients. Seriously!!

It was so nasty there, and the food is not fresh at all! The owner is the rudest person I have ever seenI wouldn't recommend to anyone!!!

My first time eating at Fruition Cafe was great! Staff was friendly and food was delicious. Would definitely recommend and return!I was in the area waiting for a tire rotation/balance at the Discount Tire nearby and I had my dog with me. Typically I will go to Buddy's BBQ right across the street due to familiarity and habit, but since I had my dog with me I was looking for a place with outside seating. I decided to give Fruition Cafe a try, since they had a couple bistro tables. The staff was very friendly and didn't mind that I left my dog at the table outside. I ordered the Circle (or Circolo) Panini (per their recommendation) and a guava mango smoothie. Both were delicious and I paid less if not about the same as I would have ordering at Buddy's. Fruition Cafe will definitely be my go to place to eat whenever I have to get my car serviced again or if I happen to be in the area.

Super good and so quick! Great fast casual option to have locally. I'd love online ordering, but they aren't there yet. I had a tuna melt which was perfect and the smoothie was filling and fresh.
