Just about anything you can imagine: you can put it in bags and buy per the pound. They also have those tubes/straws you can fill with colored sugar and similar candies. Other options are popcorn with multiple flavors, like BBQ bacon and "Chicago style" (caramel corn and cheddar corn mixed together), and gelato, which was very good. As with all the Island, expect very elevated prices, but the staff were very friendly to me and my party. I enjoyed my visit.

Then the lady looks at my receipt, confirms I left a tip, and finally is welcoming and nice to me. And to make things even better they are nasty. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the playful swirl of peppermint signage and a rainbow of treats inside. The Taffy Town display alone is a showstopper--rows upon rows of saltwater taffy in every flavor imaginable, from banana and watermelon to bubblegum and birthday cake. It's pure eye candy... that you can eat! The store is spacious, clean, and wonderfully organized, making it easy (and tempting) to fill a bag with favorites. They've got classics, novelties, oversized lollipops, and even bulk bins for the true candy connoisseur. Plus, it's family-friendly and full of fun photo ops for the kids. We had an absolute blast here--it's the kind of place that brings out your inner child. Highly recommend a visit if you're at The Island in Pigeon Forge. Pro tip: grab a variety of taffy. You won't regret it!

Always looking for a new bookstore when visiting a new city. Excited to stop in and look around…read more This is a HUGE store with both an upstairs and downstairs. There are books for all ages from newborn to seniors. There are more than books here! We enjoyed taking our time and looking at as much as we could in the hour we had available on this day. I love looking at cookbooks and there is an excellent variety to choose from. Books from local authors and books related to Tennessee and its history are displayed nicely. I knew I wasn't leaving without at least one book and I found two paperbacks for $5.99 each. Both books from best selling authors that I am excited to read. I highly recommend stopping in to pick out a book! Note: not a moon pie fan so I can't comment on that part of the store.

The Apple Barn & Cider Mill was such a fun find during my time in the Smoky Mountains! What makes…read morethis place special is that it isn't just somewhere to run in, buy something, and leave. The entire property feels like a destination worth taking the time to explore. I loved the relaxed, old-fashioned atmosphere. There's something wonderfully nostalgic about visiting a place centered around apples, cider, country shops, and Smoky Mountain hospitality. Give yourself time to wander because there is more to see here than you might expect. For me, places like this are part of what makes traveling memorable. The big attractions may get most of the attention around Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, but I also love finding stops with their own personality and sense of place. The Apple Barn definitely has both. It's a great addition to a Smoky Mountains itinerary, especially if you enjoy discovering local flavors, browsing for something unique to take home, or simply finding an interesting place away from the area's larger attractions. I also found plenty of charming details that caught my photographer's eye, which always makes a stop even more enjoyable for me. Definitely worth allowing some extra time for this one rather than treating it as a quick stop. I'd gladly return the next time my travels bring me back to the Smokies!

Some attractions sell an experience…read more Some sell a product. The Apple Barn Cider Mill somehow manages to do both. What started as a simple stop turned into one of the more enjoyable experiences of our trip. The star of the visit was our guide, who took us on a cider journey through the various flavors and offerings. She was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what she was doing. She answered questions, explained the differences between the ciders, and made the tasting experience fun instead of feeling like a sales pitch. And since there's a chance she might somehow see this review: Happy 40th Birthday! Sorry I forgot your name, but your hospitality certainly wasn't forgettable. Now let's talk about the cider. Excellent. There was a large variety of flavors available to sample, making it easy to compare styles and find a favorite. Whether you're new to cider or consider yourself a seasoned enthusiast, there's enough variety here to keep things interesting. After sampling our way through the lineup, we wound up purchasing a glass of the original apple cider and enjoyed it outside. And honestly, that's where the experience really came together. Sitting outside with a fresh cider in hand, playing cornhole and Jenga, enjoying the atmosphere, and slowing down for a little while made for a genuinely relaxing afternoon. No rushing. No crowds pushing you along. Just good cider and good company. We also picked up a growler to bring back to the hotel because one thing became very clear during the tasting process: leaving empty-handed would have been a mistake. The Apple Barn Cider Mill does a great job creating an experience that's welcoming, fun, and memorable without feeling overly commercialized. Great cider. Great staff. Great atmosphere. Five stars. And judging by the growler currently waiting back at the hotel, I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
