    Waiting for our order in one of the many seating areas inside store
    Lexy D.

    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!

    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.

    Iced Latte
    Chloe M.

    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
    Luciana A.

    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.

    Beautiful ambiance and great Hot Chocolate! Inside and outside tables with beautiful views!

    Mom's expression coffee
    Rebecca P.

    Wonderful coffee shop. Comfortable chairs. Plenty of space outside and in to enjoy a coffee and pastry. Service was friendly. My hot chocolate was yummy, would have liked it a little bit hotter. Comparable to Starbucks but supppoting local business just feels good. I would return.

    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

    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.

Karen, one of the owners, has put so much thought into creating a fantastic and memorable space. The outdoors just got an upgrade with the addition of a little garden adjacent to the porch. There is a beautiful mural, a lovely fountain, and fun furniture that give the space such a fun vibe! Once you climb the stairs, you'll see various spots to lounge on the porch from rustic looking benches and chairs to swings hanging from rope. Upon entering the shop, it is a combination of rustic mountain decor with fun and whimsical pieces--- from the coffee tree to the taxidermy squirrel riding the bucking fox rodeo style. The place is so inviting, comfortable, and it's charm is unmatched. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy your coffee in the Smokies. Spouse and I always get the Campfire Latte, and it's incredible with mocha, white mocha, and toasted marshmallow syrup. We have also had the Heavenly Harvest from their Fall drink menu, and we loved that too! Our coffee is always delicious and we just keep coming back for more! Karen and her baristas do such an awesome job making our coffee and it says something when they don't ask you anymore what you'll be having. Building rapport is an understatement as they make you feel much more than just another customer, but a part of their coffee house tribe.

I always get excited when I find a coffee shop that has Lavender anything. The rest of my family was equally happy with their Vanilla Latte and Americano. I also grabbed a bag of chocolate covered espresso beans which were yummy and perked me up a bit. It's a tiny shop, so if you have a big party, you won't all be able to fit. They also sell house-made vanilla extract in cute little bottles, coconut and lemon sugar, adorable mugs, and a variety of teas and trinkets. I wish I could buy everything in this shop, it's so cute. I definitely recommend the coffee connoisseur check out Coffee & Company.

    Finding Coffee & Company in The Village Shops of Gatlinburg feels a little like being let in on a…read morelocal secret. You don't just accidentally stumble into it. You seek it out. In fact, we walked about a mile from our hotel specifically to come here because we remembered it from a previous trip. That's a pretty strong endorsement considering there are approximately 7,000 places in Gatlinburg willing to sell you coffee, fudge, pancakes, taffy, or some combination of all four. Tucked away inside The Village, Coffee & Company has that hidden gem feel that makes you wonder how many people walk right past it without realizing what's waiting inside. The coffee itself is solid. One thing I appreciated was the balance. Too many coffee shops seem to believe that foam should either completely dominate the drink or be absent altogether. Here, the ratio of coffee to froth was right where it should be, allowing the coffee itself to remain the star of the show. I ordered a flavored coffee, and while I wasn't completely in love with the particular caramel syrup they use, that's more personal preference than criticism. Coffee flavors are a bit like pizza toppings... ask ten people and you'll get twelve opinions. The drink was still enjoyable and well made. The staff deserves credit as well. Friendly, efficient, and quick without making the experience feel rushed. They seemed genuinely happy to be there, which isn't always guaranteed when dealing with tourists before they've had their caffeine. What I like most about Coffee & Company is that it knows exactly what it is. It's not trying to be a trendy coffee laboratory where your drink arrives after a 15-minute explanation of bean origins and atmospheric conditions during harvest season. It's simply a really good coffee shop serving really good coffee in a charming location. Would I walk a mile for it? Absolutely. Would I walk five miles? Let's not get carried away. Four stars. A hidden gem that's worth seeking out, especially if you're wandering through The Village Shops and need a quality cup of coffee to fuel your next round of Gatlinburg adventures.
