Panacea CoffeeHouse, Cafe and Roastery

Located in a beautifully restored warehouse in downtown Waynesville, Panacea CoffeeHouse, Cafe and Roastery brings together the art of coffee roasting with casual cafe dining. The exposed brick walls and industrial-meets-cozy atmosphere make this a favorite spot for both locals and visitors seeking quality coffee and fresh food.

As a working roastery, Panacea offers customers the unique experience of watching small-batch coffee roasting in action while enjoying their drinks. The cafe sources high-quality beans from sustainable growers, and their skilled baristas craft everything from perfectly pulled espresso shots to carefully prepared pour-overs.

The breakfast menu features classic morning favorites like avocado toast, house-made pastries, and hearty breakfast sandwiches. For lunch, you'll find fresh salads, grilled paninis, and seasonal soups. The brick walls and wooden tables create an inviting space for working, meeting friends, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a expertly crafted latte.

What sets Panacea apart is their commitment to the coffee community in Waynesville. They regularly host coffee education events, tasting sessions, and workshops for those interested in learning more about coffee cultivation and preparation. The knowledgeable staff is always happy to discuss their latest roasts or help you select beans to brew at home.

The cafe provides free WiFi and plenty of seating options, from communal tables to intimate corners. Whether you're stopping in for your morning coffee, meeting colleagues for lunch, or picking up freshly roasted beans, Panacea CoffeeHouse combines the precision of a serious roastery with the welcoming vibe of a neighborhood cafe.
