    Cold Brew, Egg White, Cheese & Ham Wrap, and Cranberry Lemon Muffin

    Dancing Bean is our favorite coffee shop when we're in Townsend! They are usually busy, so try to get there early to grab the best pastries. Every month, theirs a creative drink menu that's themed towards the season - they are usually how I order. The staff are polite and friendly...if you want a custom drink, they are happy to assist!

    Baked goods.

    Dancing Bean remains our must stop coffee place when heading up to the mountains. Love the friendly service here, and the cozy ambiance. It wasn't yet cold enough to have the fire going, but I'm sure in a few more weeks, it'll be nice and toasty in there. My go to order is always their house coffee with the lavender syrup and my better half gets the iced chai. He says it's his favorite chai in all of Tennessee!! They always have a drinks specials board and some yummy baked goods in their case (muffins, danishes, and scones). I also love their little gifts that you can buy for home, such as the glazed coffee cups. Other perks, include a filtered water station and a plant swap station. This place is just my favorite for coffee--if you haven't been, you're truly missing out.

    Asiago bagel sandwich

    I got a hot caramel butter brown sugar coffee, and also a smores iced coffee. Both were absolutely amazing. Also got the Asiago bagel sandwich and let me tell you... BEST bagel sandwich I've ever had I think. I can't wait to come back. I'm a coffee shop snob and this place gets 5 stars.

    Great little coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. We got a caramel frap, small vanilla late, cold brew and an everything bagel breakfast sandwich. Service was kind and quick!

    Iced Latte

    Cute decor in this coffee shop! I got an iced oatmilk latte with salted caramel syrup and it was almost $7, so a little pricey. Espresso was not especially flavorful and neither was the salted caramel syrup.

    Cinnamon cake and espresso

    Cinnamon cake is delicious, and espresso very tasty. Environment is great and cozy. Staff is very friendly. If you are in the area and in the mood for a great coffee, I recommend stopping by!

    Pulled pork

    This was our first time visiting. Inside you order at the register and they bring your food to your table. The drinks are self serve as well as condiments (as seen in the picture). We all had the Hog Wild BBQ Pulled Pork-Wich with fries, soda and sweet ice tea. The pork was great! Tender and tasty. The bun nice and soft. The fries & sweet tea were great. The condiment bar was too funny ( see pic). Easy to serve yourself. The bbq sauce was excellent. We took home some apple hand pies, which were awesome! All the employees were friendly and quick to get orders out.

    Oooooo weeee! The best specialty coffees I've had! The s'mores and white chocolate raspberry were KILLAH! The hot brew was a perfect addition to this 28 degree day! The staff is friendly, the storefront is cozy, and they also are dog-friendly!

    Very aesthetically pleasing, mountain modern theme, and savory coffee flavor section was on point. Definitely actin like a tourist while stopping here on our way to our cabin. Clean restrooms, friendly staff and wide selection of drinks and some pastries.

    Loved the staff! I went twice during my stay in Townsend and both times got a donut and honey lavender latte. So good!

    Fantastic coffee. Went on a passport search (local scavenger hunt) and found this treat. Ordered Tom's Fuel and it was delicious

    Cute convenient coffee shop... plenty of outdoor seating. Closest thing to a Starbucks you'll find here.

    Great drinks. A bit short-handed (but who isn't). Enjoyed their treats. Nice shop.

    Great coffee, service and atmosphere. A nice place to stop by on your drive home from Cades Cove. Very reasonable prices as well.
