The peaceful, park-filled town of Kingsport, TN is known as one of the nicest places to live in the state. Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains, Kingsport offers its residents all the fine shopping and dining of a modern city combined with a more traditional lifestyle. A couple of things the locals appreciate highly are good company and good food. If you’re looking for great brunch places to visit with your family or friends, check out these three local gems.

The Bagel Exchange

Some say the perfect brunch dish is a bagel: half breakfast, half lunch, delicious, quick, and filling. If you’re of the same mind, then be sure to visit this excellent bagel place at 107 West Center Street. The owners are seeking to introduce downtown Kingsport to authentic New York bagels, and they’re succeeding with style.

The happy, helpful servers can help you choose from their long list of delicious bagel options. Some recommended choices include the blueberry bagel, the jalapeno cheddar bagel, and the classic smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese, onions, and capers. Their impressive range of cream cheeses are all freshly made in-house, including many interesting flavors such as maple walnut, apple cinnamon raisin, and vegetable cream cheese.

The Mustard Seed Café

You’ll find a wonderful brunch menu at this cute and characterful, family-friendly restaurant at 118 East Market Street. They offer a range of healthy salads, soups, wraps, and quiches, but their real specialty is serving up quick, scrumptious sandwiches. When you visit, a few must-tries include the club sandwich, the Reuben sandwich, the really cheesy grilled cheese sandwich, and their house special: the Mustard Seed sandwich.

They have plenty of parking outside, and the location is nice and close to the city center. So if you’ve missed breakfast and need a fast, tasty sandwich, soup, and salad to hit the spot, quickly drive across town to grab a Mustard Seed treat. If you’re driving the very agile new 2023 Toyota Camry XLE with its effortless handling, you’ll be there and back to work in no time.
