We were in town for the Bronco Super Celebration at the Townsend visitor center, and this place was just across the road from there, making for an easy stop each morning on our way there. I had an iced americano each morning, and the flavor and quality of espresso was fantastic! My boyfriend had an iced latte with sugar free vanilla + caramel, and enjoyed that as well. We didn't get any food there, but the offerings looked great and several people had bagel breakfast sandwiches that I would definitely try next time! They even made cute stickers for the Bronco event, so we snagged one of those. The staff were all very kind and helpful, and the interior is cute and clean. Recommend a stop in if you're in the area! read more

So happy to find a real cappuccino! 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 foam- perfection! Friendly staff and quality espresso. You can't go wrong here of you're a true coffee lover. read more

Amazing, strong coffee here. They have a menu of some classic drinks + some speciality drink, but they know their coffee, so if you're looking for a coffee with a different milk ratio... they can make it. I ordered a hot flat white, and it was delivered with beautiful latte art. It looks like roast their own coffee in the back, super neat, so you know this spot is legit. read more

Absolute best coffee around! But don't take my word for it. The Artistic Bean was named best coffee in Tennessee by USA Today! And you can taste the difference, by far! If you love coffee, smooth, flavorful on its own coffee, then you HAVE to check out Artistic Bean in Townsend or Maryville! read more

One of the best pumpkin spice lattes I've ever had!! This is a great coffee shop in Townsend! Service is friendly, the interior is spacious and comfy, and the coffee is awesome. Highly recommend! read more

This place is the best! My cappuccino was just perfect-strong and smooth and perfectly foamy! Dave had the caramel latte and it was great too. We bought a pound of the dark roast from Kenya for our drip coffee pot. The only place I have found that is as good in our area is Mercer's in Punta Gorda! So happy to be visiting the Artistic Bean with their coffeehouse decor inside! read more

I had the most AMAZING drink here! I got on of their special drinks - it was the Peanut Butter Cold Brew with sugar free vanilla and it was a treat from heaven! Cold brew Vanilla syrup flavor Peanut butter Oat milk Blended and over ice! Sooooo good! Our barista was sweet and fast! The interior had lots of comfy seating. It would be a really great place to come with your laptop and work for a while. The pastries and other non- coffee goodies looked amazing! It's not just worth a stop, it's worth a detour! read more

Second time coming here. The Spanish girl that made coffee, it tasted really really bad. Do places not check workers how they make coffee before hiring them?! Coffee reminded me of the world's best cup of coffee from Elf. Will be back next year to follow up. read more

This cute coffee shop is perfect in every way. I could stop there but you might be wondering why. 1. Local shop with individual attention to detail, taste and personalization 2. Live music at select times 3. Huge menu and selection of not only coffee 4. Comfortable, varied seating options. Couches, chairs, tables, rockers Our barista was working alone this Tuesday morning but was efficient and friendly. I wish this shop was close to home, but alas, it's only a vacation spot for me. Good vibes all around. read more

Espresso is pretty good! Had to pay $1 more for oat milk though, which seemed a little high. Danish was good, just a little sweet for my taste because it had candied almonds on top of powdered sugar and honey. read more

wow, what such a great experience. really cool coffee shop, the interior is super beautiful and the coffee is Bussin. I got a caramel frap and was not disappointed. And fun fact my Aunt's best friend used to own this coffee shop so that's pretty cool. read more

Really nice small batch coffee roaster with good offering and service. Great atmosphere and very relaxing. Ordered avocado toast, which was a little lacking. Menu indicated two slices of toast, it was actually one, (albeit large) slice cut in half and the avocado spread was a little light. It did have good flavor though. One star removed. read more

Excellent artisan coffee in a very small town. We were most impressed with the house roasted beans. The dark roast was rich without tasting burnt or harsh. (Sampling is allowed!!) Because it was afternoon, we grabbed two fancy coffees (not usually our style). The husband had the Mountain Man and I had the Mountain Mamma (naturally). We both subbed skim milk for the called-for full fat. They were excellent drinks! read more

Cute establishment with a nice selection of bakery items and coffees which they roast onsite. Service was very good. Coffee was outstanding. Hot chocolate was very rich with real chocolate not syrup. Cinnamon coffee cake was warm and delish. Highly recommend when you're in the area. read more

Delicious coffee, it has a very welcoming and homey atmosphere. It is a staple to come here every time we come up to Tennessee!

About as good a coffee shop as one can expect outside of the Pacific Northwest! I've been twice now: both times they have had both a medium and a dark roast, Sumatran and Guatemalan last week. Really cozy, clean, and comfy, Tennessee rustic, and what looked to be delectable baked goods, and last but not least, they roast their coffees onsite! I agree that $3.50 for a large coffee may sound like a lot, but compared to the watered down version of coffee at almost every other place in Townsend, not a bad deal at all.... Great coffee is like a good hot shower: nothing like it. Bad coffee is like an unexpected cold shower: terrible! I won't get my coffee anywhere else on our next visits into Townsend. The only downside is 8am opening during the week. I and many others want a coffee along with daybreak, 630am or so. Maybe they'll start opening earlier. read more

I walked into this coffee shop to be warmly greeted by one girl. I ordered a small vanilla latte (8 oz) of which I was charged $6.59. I couldn't believe it. That's was the most expensive latte (and smallest) I had ever ordered. I was the only person in the shop but a guy I thought was an employee but he ended up being a customer. Took forever to get my latte and once it was done she fixed his iced coffee before telling me mine was finished. The muffins being offered were $4 and were from Costco ($8.99 for 12). They had carrot cake cupcakes again from Costco. I'll never stop there again. Coffee wasn't even good. read more

This cute coffee shop allowed me to sit all day and work at a corner table. They even thanked ME for hanging out all day with them! The chai latte, egg bagel sandwich and hot ham and cheese sandwich were freshly made and delicious! And very friendly and welcoming staff! read more

Service was good. We really liked the way the room was laid out. There were couches and pillows all around. Coffee was good. Not the style we prefer, but not too bad. We would visit again. read more

Coffee is top notch! Great service! They roast their own beans. I would recommend the peanut butter cold brew! I don't know how that works but it does. Went back multiple times durning our stay for this. read more

My husband and I visited this week and brought our laptops to work. Expect them to be roasting and bagging during business hours. It was loud and disruptive. About 45 minutes later, an employee came in to work and the employees cranked Spotify over their system and blasted a song for her birthday. They started popping streamers, etc. I get wanting to celebrate your team, but this was very disruptive and disrespectful to the several people in the store working at their computers. Finally, we packed our bags to leave. As we passed the counter, the employees laughingly yelled to each other "look, you're running off the customers!!!!" We will not be back. I can't recommend if you're looking for personal service or good coffee. read more

I was passing through on my way home from gatlinburg to nashville. The peanut butter protein cold brew was literally the best. Yummy coffee drink that I have ever had. I have been to a lot of coffee shops in a lot of states. I have seen every state on the east coast in every southern state to california and a lot of the midwest too. I am a coffee junkie. This was literally the best coffee I have ever had hands down and another reason.I will pass through townsend. I actually ordered too I drank one there and took one with me. read more

Wonderful coffee shop with freshly roasted beans and rich, bold espresso. It's located next to an Ace Hardware and Car Wash. But, despite its humble surroundings, this is high-end coffee. I ordered a latte and it came out perfect. Inside, they have plenty of seating and some roasting equipment. The employees were very friendly and offered some suggestions about the Townsend area. So, if you're a local or a visitor, this is a great stopping point. I highly recommend it. read more

Such a nice coffee shop! I got the peanut butter cold brew and it was DELICIOUS. Perfect if you are a peanut butter and coffee lover. The coffee shop itself was also very cozy and inviting, definitely a good place to do work or study. The service was also good! read more

I love this place! This is a true coffee house with several different coffees on tap as well as cappuccinos, macchiatos, Americanos, and lattes available. The decorations here are adorable. They have praise and worship music playing in the background. The vibe here is very calming and loving. My wife and I both had hot lattes, and they were amazing. They have freshly roasted coffee available by the pound that smells delightful. The back room has two roasters on display, apparently people can come watch the roasting process, which I would love to do. There is a small stage in the seating area for live music. I heard they have worship and other music events here. This place is a real treasure in Townsend. We always visit this place when in town, and it seems to be under new ownership. They have definitely invested in it, and it shows. read more

Favorite local coffee shop! Darling coffee shop with stellar service! Coffee is good (though I like mine a bit stronger). Highly recommend this place any time, but especially if someone is playing music--which happens frequently. read more

In house roasted coffee, great hot and cold coffee. Pastries. Seating available. Fair trade and organic coffee.

Great local spot for coffee. Lots of choices with good selection of pastries. The cheeses danishes go fast so get there early! I'm

I love supporting small local coffee shops! They 9 outta 10 times always have something special to offer. Great service, super sweet barista who was very pleasant and calm despite being in there alone! Their peanut butter cold brew....was absolutely out of this world! Their Mountain Man was great too....and my kiddos love their frozen hot chocolate! It's a great treat to start your day or end it if you so desire! read more

What do you need when you wake up somewhere deep in the Smoky Mountains after a day/night of driving? You need strong, strong coffee, and friendly faces. Lucky for us (and potentially for you), that's exactly what we found at The Artistic Bean. It took us about 30 minutes to get there from our cabin, but it was worth every minute spent driving. First of all, there was an adorable older man selling wood carvings outside the place, and happy people sitting around a little fire. How cute is that? It put a smile on my face, for sure. We felt welcomed the minute we walked in the door, and I was so relieved to see some quality coffee in my future. They roast their coffee in small batches, and it shows. My black coffee woke me up and kept me going all day, and my sister's "cowboy mocha" was lovely and full of spice. Guys... why has no one mentioned the fact that they make HOMEMADE WAFFLES? I so wish I hadn't eaten breakfast beforehand, because they looked incredible. It was fun to see so many families and groups of people happily eating waffles and enjoying the relaxing and cozy atmosphere. I absolutely hope to see this place again once day; it has to be the cutest place on earth during the Christmas season, so maybe I'll be lucky enough to see it then. Thanks for starting our morning off so well! read more

Great environment and friendly service! Good coffee. Latte was too bitter for my taste.

this makes for a pleasant cafe stop while cycling along the river trail. our latte's were on the weak side heavy on the froth and light on the expresso. our chocolate chip muffins were wonderful, warm and fresh. the inside had 2 unbussed tables and the trash can by the door was piling up. why can't the coffee house zoomers take out the trash? not a go to stop if you crave @ brain exploding double shot.......probably more inline for the triple half calf double decaf with fair trade soy milk hippy crowd. three stars for righteous bake goods. read more

Real, fresh, roasted in-house coffee. This isn't your typical coffee. Try it and the others won't do.
