Cute place but they need to fix their menu prices. As other reviewers have pointed out they updated…read moretheir prices at some point but didn't update the signs, so people are charged more than the prices listed. The employee who checked us out was aware of the issue and said the managers refuse to fix it, which is bizarre... I felt sorry for her; she clearly hated her job!

I actually didn't realize it was a Christian coffee shop until after we left, and a friend pointed it out. I'm not particularly religious myself, but that didn't matter at all--the experience was warm and inviting, and the coffee was excellent. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a great cup of coffee and friendly service.

Cherokee/Bryson City area has been my little vacation spot for the last decade of my life (I grew…read moreup coming to this area in the summers to tube). I've been coming to Qualla Java Cafe since probably 2016. I can honestly say after 10 years, I've never had a bad drink here. They have a bunch of drinks - all with pretty fun names. Again, I've never had a bad drink here so it's fun to just randomly pick one. The service is always really fast and I'm never really in their long. Sorry if my review isn't better - coffee shops are kind of hard for me to review because coffee doesn't really look good in picture form. Just drink it!

The food, however, was a bit underwhelming. I ordered a croissant with egg and cheese--the croissant itself was decent, but the eggs were were microwaved. It was also on the smaller side for $6, which didn't quite match the price. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee and atmosphere, but would probably skip the food next time.

It's good coffee for sure but definitely came with sticker shock! Prices are in line with what…read moreyou'd expect in the highlands but still $2 extra for almond milk? Replacing whole milk with almond milk is that much more expensive? Service is good but they are busy and tend to focus on local regulars. Kind of makes you feel like the uncool kid in the lunchroom. Not a lot of options around here so ... will be back.

The barista then lets us know mine will take about twenty minutes!?! So we just left with hubby's. Very disappointing. Once we got to the car and took the lid off his coffee we saw it was less than half full. Unbelievable! Even worse, it tasted terrible! Like burnt coffee! I am not sure why I am even giving them one star.

The entire time I felt like the person behind the counter could care less about customers. She was more concerned about conversing about her personal life with the two people at the bar.
