Gatlinburg Grind
Butterscotch lattes, brown sugar cappuccinos and flaky maple pecan pastries are what visitors talk about at this small Glades Road coffee shop, tucked among local craft and antique stores. Beans are roasted weekly, and the staff greet guests like regulars. It suits coffee lovers and pastry fans happy to grab a cup to go, since indoor seating is scarce.
Gatlinburg
Cuppa Gatlin Cafe
The Appalachian oat mocha is the drink reviewers keep recommending, and the made-to-order breakfast of veggie omelets, bacon egg croissants and avocado toast holds its own. This small, cozy Parkway cafe suits coffee lovers and vegan or vegetarian travelers who like to customize. It's cash only and gets cramped at peak times, so aim for mid-morning.
Gatlinburg
Coffee & Company
The house-roasted Black Bear Blend has kept some regulars coming back for 30 years, and seasonal drinks like the Toasted Marshmallow Latte and Caramel Apple Chai win over newcomers. This small downtown Gatlinburg shop suits coffee lovers and tourists who want a local spot instead of a chain, though there isn't much seating inside.
