Gatlinburg Grind
Gatlinburg Grind wins visitors over with genuinely warm hospitality and quality coffee drinks that rival the chain alternatives. The staff—particularly Brandy, who's mentioned by name multiple times—goes above and beyond to ensure customers love their order, even offering to remake drinks if needed. While the cozy atmosphere and fresh pastries earn consistent praise, be prepared for premium pricing and note that this small shop occasionally runs out of items during busy periods.
Cuppa Gatlin Cafe
This cozy café wins over visitors with genuinely good coffee and a surprisingly robust breakfast menu featuring standouts like the chorizo bacon burrito, avocado toast, and fresh omelets. The staff earns consistent praise for friendliness, though a few visitors have caught them during understaffed moments when food service wasn't available. Quality can be inconsistent—while most rave about the coffee, a handful have encountered issues with spoiled milk or dry pastries.
