What People Are Saying
from Google"Stopped in on a cold December morning with the family and everything hit the mark. The cappuccino and café con leche were warming, the hot chocolate was a hit with the kids, and the Cinnabon was fresh and indulgent without being over the top. Service stood out: we ended up chatting with the owner, learned a bit about their story, and felt genuinely welcomed. Being right across from the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad Depot makes it an easy stop. Bottom line: a spot we’ll keep coming back to every time we’re in Bryson City."
"This is a great local place, covered with local art in a modern type gallery setup. The atmosphere was great. The staff was very warm and friendly, and the food was excellent... Which we were not expecting, as we just stumbled upon the place in search of coffee and it ended up staying to have freshly made cheesy potato, bacon, and leeks soup and a wonderful gluten-free quiche. Both of which were delicious along with the chai tea lattes. They have some local art on display and some on display to sell which I thought was really cool, as it is always good to see a local business promoting local artists. I would highly recommend."
"My friends and I keep stopping here for breakfast sandwiches and coffee when we visit Bryson City to paddle in the Summer. The food is too good to pass up. Good vibes and art inside and everyone's always very nice."
"Best coffee around! We had this coffee on our first day exploring the Smokies, it was so delicious we drove 20 minutes out of our way before heading home to just get another cup. The staff was very kind and even gave us brochures on what to explore in the area. We will definitely be back next time we're in town!!"
"We were visiting Bryson City on an anniversary trip. The owners and staff at this place go over and beyond to make you feel welcome and at home. They not only recommend very good food and drink options but helped us plan our day. They sat down and brought us maps and brochures of really cool places to visit around the area. I will always go back to visit them anytime I'm in Bryson City. Plan a stop here, you won't be disappointed!"
