We just moved here about 2 weeks ago and are Coffee Hunters looking for places that aren't a "Starbucks" type of place. (To give you an idea of my coffee taste, I don't like Starbucks. Their coffee is hit or miss, sometimes tastes burnt and is WAY too expensive for what you may end up getting. I love Dutch Bros because everything I get from there is great and always tastes like it should also they are always super nice). This little coffee shop is ADORABLE and it also shares the building with Sweet Frog (Frozen Yogurt). We were kind of surprised when we came in because there weren't many pictures in their reviews. They have lots of options (see my pictures for menu) and a "barista favorites" menu that I was glad I saw! Super clean, very cute and inviting. Baristas were polite and there are lots of places to sit inside as well as outside! Prices were pretty good in comparison to most. Don't pass this one up! You will be glad you didn't! read more

Lattes were underwhelming and very milky - to the point where it had no espresso flavor, only milk. Staff was kind read more

Coffee Shop No. 487 Smoky Mountain Espresso Sevierville, TN March 27, 2025 (very behind on posting coffee shops visits) Smoky Mountain Espresso is a Christian inspired coffee shop with super friendly baristas. After chatting with one I sensed ordering one of their specialty lattes was a must, but there so were many options. I asked the barista to surprise me. She was awesome about my request, took it a step further and did not tell me what I ordered until I was finished it. The barista made a Tuxedo Latte and it was delicious! Smoky Mountain Espresso has a very relaxed atmosphere with a cozy fireplace. This is the kind of coffee shops that makes you feel warm and welcomed. Plenty of seating is placed throughout the shop including an abundance of outdoor seating. My favorite part of the coffee shop, besides the barista, was its Pay It Forward operation. Coffee sleeves with handwritten words of encouragement and love were posted on a bar in the middle of the shop. Just normal people wanting to share the blessings of a cup of coffee with others. This gesture really touched my heart. Enjoying life one cortado at a time! read more

Smoky Mountain Espresso - Iced chai latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Ordered two black coffees. The people behind us ordered 4 iced drinks. They immediately started making their drinks as they were ordering and our empty cups were still sitting on the counter waiting to be filled with black coffee. The lady at the register finished taking their order and helped the other barista finish the drinks for the group behind us. Once the drive-thru worker finished with those customers, she began making our drinks (putting brewed coffee in cups). The coffee wasn't anything special. read more

My favorite coffee shop to visit whenever I'm in town. The coffee is a perfect blend every time. I really admire a business that gives back--it makes me want to support them even more. The free‑coffee wall is such a fabulous idea. read more

Stopped in for a hot drink on a cold day. Service, ambiance and coffee were all great. My wife got a gingerbread latte and said it was great. Don't pass this place up! read more

Love this place... definitely a hidden gem in Sevierville/Pigeon Forge TN. Madison and McKenzie were amazing! We asked them their recommendations and both of them made our coffees and they were amazing! The pastries they recommended were tasted great as well! They both talked to us and super friendly. Place was absolutely clean and the ambiance was super chill. Also, fix your POS machine so we can tip your amazing baristas! Niko read more

Stopped by this cute spot during my visit to Pigeon Forge. Super friendly staff with a large variety of things to try. They also offer a staff favorite list of lattes and teas to choose from. The place is decently priced and shares a building with a frozen dessert shop. I chose the salted caramel and coconut Oatmilk latte. read more

The ambiance is really nice, comfortable, welcoming, and a great spot to hang out or get some work done. They also have a great couch that makes it easy to relax and stay awhile. The service was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The espresso was okay, not bad by any means, but the atmosphere and service definitely stood out. I'd come back for the vibe alone. read more

A cool quaint little place to get coffee. I enjoy small coffee places that are usually locally owned versus the Starbucks and the bigger coffee companies. This place hit the Mark . They were very clean. Staff was nice. They had good choices for coffee. The caramel macchiato was perfectly made and then not to mention, you get to sit by the fireplace and have a conversation with your friends. You loved one and enjoy your coffee. Would highly recommend anybody looking for a good couple of Java to stop in here and say hi and sit by the fire catch up with a friend kiss your girlfriend wife hold hands coffee is love. read more

Cute little place to get coffee or tea. Also has a "pay it forward" wall where you can buy a coffee for someone in the future and write a message for them. Someone in need can then pick up one of those sleeves to redeem for a free coffee. Also features strategically located bible verses. You're definitely in God's country. :-) read more

I thought this place was pretty nice. We came in rather than going through the drive-thru line to get some coffee for the morning on our way out of town on our recent stay. They had a lot of seating and hopefully, it is filled because I would like to see this place continue to remain in business. The fixtures were nice and it was clean. The staff there was friendly and they had a lot of choices for libations, I had enough coffee so I chose a lavender Earl Grey tea. We sat on the comfy leather couch in front of the fireplace and enjoyed the drinks. Check it out. read more

We had frozen yogurt at the Sweet Frog. The flavors were good. It's convenient to the RV park that's across the street. Nice outdoor seating area. They are really short staffed in the evening as on person was operating both the coffee and yogurt side. The price was much higher than expected. read more

I'm so glad I made the drive to this coffee shop. The coffee was delicious and it had the coziest ambiance. Baristas made my coffee with a smile! read more

Loved the raw honey lavender latte! The pay it forward wall was truly touching, and inspired me to start one where I live.

I loved it. The service was decent, the environment was great, the espresso was wonderful.

Great service. Chelsie was very helpful in picking out a coffee. I actually ordered her drink... Lavender, maple, chai with 2 shots of espresso frozen....delicious! The atmosphere is quiet and would be a great place to chat with friends or sit and read. Christian theme with great sayings, Scripture verses and a "pay it forward" wall. We didn't stay but got our coffee to go. We did however get an apple Danish for the road. That too was delicious. Looks like they have great outside seating area as well. Again, this seems a nice spot for great coffee and friendly service, try them out! read more

Love it! Coffee was YUM and staff were very helpful and kind. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Adorable!!! Fresh scones from a local baker near by. Workers were so incredibly sweet and answered all of our questions. The coffees definitely run on the sweeter side so if you're a black coffee drinker maybe get an iced coffee on the side to mix in like I did or ask for half the pumps. The inside is so cute. They have a conference room are and little work from home nooks. I would definitely visit again if I was in the area. read more

The employees are super nice, but the coffee taste burnt and chemically. The place looks clean. But alsadly this is a one and done.

I stopped here for a morning coffee. The espresso is amazing and I loved my americano. I definitely recommend stopping here while vacationing here. It's a great way to start your morning! read more

This is the cutest little Christian coffee shop I've been to! Several little verses throughout the shop. It's also attached to a nice little froyo shop. The staff was very friendly and patient as I fumbled through my order. Service was quick and they adjusted my daughter's drink for free when it wasn't what she was expecting bitterness wise. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a local gem! read more

Id love to give more than 1 star but these women are RUDEEEEEE. Guaranteed the majority of these 5 star reviews are tourists passing through. To the rude woman who took our order (and has multiple times in the past) don't interrupt people when they're speaking and you may be able to actually hear what they're saying. To the woman who greeted us at the window because the other woman heard me say let us finish speaking, find another job if you don't like people. Seriously won't be back simply because of their attitudes. We waited for 6 minutes at the speaker and then another 15 minutes at the window (we were the only people in the drive through and about 6 cars total in the parking lot). Once she finally comes to the window and we tell her we forgot to add something, ask if it would be too much (if it was we would have left) she says no, literally makes it in 45 seconds comes back and SLAMS THE WINDOW SHUT. Guess we'll be sticking with chain coffee shops, this is what happens when you try to support local small coffee businesses and you have baristas who think they're special. It would be best they become toll booth operators since they are always in bad moods when dealing with the public. It's a shame cause the coffee was good. read more

Very friendly service, nice fireplace, good matcha latte. Minus four stars for the loud af Christian pop that was blasting the whole time and was so annoying I had to leave. If I wanted to go to church, I would. I don't need to go to a coffee shop and listen to proselytizing camouflaged as ambiance. read more

We found this place while searching for a larger coffee shop with indoor seating to escape the hustle of Gatlinburg for a few hours. Smoky Mountain Espresso did not disappoint!

Cute coffee shop but would not recommend for non-locals. Really heavy religious vibe, and the espresso was not good at all. My plain latte tasted like cardboard and in my friends flavored lattes you could not tell there was any espresso at all. They did give me an iced coffee when I asked to switch my drink, the employees are kind. It's just not somewhere I would ever recommend someone go read more

Haven't had a chance to try them until now but I was pleasantly surprised. Being it is the hottest part of July, I chose the Smoky Mountain mocha frozen coffee. It was glazed with Carmel throughout and was sweet but nonetheless delicious. The medium was plenty for me. Prices are very fair. We needed a local coffee place that you don't have to sit in line 15 minutes to get something and this is it! read more
