AN URBAN RETREAT is a third place, neither home nor work, a place for nurturing community life and creative interaction, a place where strangers, neighbors, and friends gather to nourish the body and build relationships.
OUR VISION
“A passion for perfection driven by a commitment to excellence.”
Café 4 is a full-service restaurant/bakery/coffee bar located in the Historic Market Square district of downtown Knoxville. The restaurant offers a full menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which is served 7 days a week. Café 4 specializes in moderately priced "comfort" food with a “global” flair based upon time-honored recipes from around the world. Our in-house bakery features “beaux desserts pour un” which translates to desserts for one. Finally, the coffee bar includes a casual inviting mezzanine loft allowing patrons to visit often while inviting the community to enjoy a “Third Place” of comfort, relaxation, conversation, and even complimentary WIFI. Café 4 is also the gateway to the premier performance venue, The Square Room.
