The Mustard Seed Cafe is by far my favorite place to eat in Kingsport! Food tastes amazing and is fresh every time. A nice variety of options on their menu. And the customer service is top notch. Highly recommend eating here if you’re in the area or passing through!!

Cute local cafe with fresh food. Service is also attentive and friendly. Everything I’ve had has been tasty but the Mexican style quiche is my favorite!

Really really good food, and hot beverages. Our waitress was absolutely amazing, didn't skip a beat (short dirty blonde hair, wore a plaid shirt). The vibe is really chic and adorable. I have nothing bad to say about The Mustard Seed.
Edit on Jan 9th, 2024;
As of late, my husband and I have temporarily stopped coming here. The last three times we've gone, we've gotten terrible service, and the entire vibe has just been off. In October of last year, we were seated and were approached by our waitress(older, blonde) who said, "I hope you don't want this because we're out of it!!" Which was a weird way to phrase that. She wasn't super welcoming.
Then, during our most recent visit, I decided to order a hot beverage and it was absolutely terrible. The cup had streaks going down, and the top of the drink was curdled (not foam, curdled). They were super busy, so I didn't want to complain about my beverage right then. My husband ended up ordering me one of what he had, and it was brought by another waitress. Our waitress (older, thin, long hair) didn't seem to acknowledge the fact that I hadn't even touched the first hot beverage. Eventually, after the crowd died down, I was going to mention it to her, but she was very quick to get our check to us, and didn't stay to even let me speak (I said, "Excuse me", and she walked away) The untouched beverage was on our bill, and I know she saw that it was there and I hadn't touched it since she brought it to the table. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that this is a place that serves hot beverages, there is seemingly no barista, the drinks are made by the waitresses, why not properly train them on how to make hot beverages?? It's really disappointing, because this was one of our all time favorite spots.
We'll probably try again eventually, but if we end up having a similar experience, I can't justify spending another dime here.
