SkyCafe
765 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN
Crema's Take
“Perched atop a mountain accessible by ski lift, SkyCae offers a thrilling experience that blends casual dining with breathtaking elevation—order a slice of pizza or warm pretzel while gazing out at expansive views that feel worlds away from the valley below. The vibe here is deliberately laid-back and family-friendly, perfect for grabbing a quick bite or lingering with a coffee as the light changes across the ridgeline, though expect touristy pricing for the privilege of eating in the sky. It's less about specialty coffee craft and more about the full sensory experience of being somewhere genuinely distinctive, where the views are as much the draw as the food itself.”

Pretzels, pizza, sandwiches, drinks and ice cream available. We ate warm pretzels and hot pizza and had some delicious ice cream. For a quick bite on the mountain, it was good. Not a very big area inside with limited seating, but it is quaint and cozy with beautiful views. Many visitors ordered their food from the window on the lower floor and ate outside.
Love this place! Don’t get me wrong, love the views and the place as a whole. But the price of the food here is insane haha. I got a slice of pizza, 2 hotdogs, 2 nachos , 1 fountain drink and a beer. My total was $48. Seemed very steep for the same thing you’d get at a gas station. I’d come here again, but definitely not buying any of the food from here
On our visit to Skyland Park, we went to SkyCafe as we were so hungry and were surprised by our experience. Despite being a touristy spot, the cafe exceeded the expectations. We ordered a pizza, which was made to order and it was one of the best we've had. The quality of the food was unexpectedly high, especially considering this a typical touristy spot.
Nice place, just snacks and stuff at the top, some pretty nice views. Best to go just a little before sunset so it's light when u get up there and you can see all the views but let it get dark and then you get to see everything including up there all lit up. But to be honest you can see the same views for the most part from pull offs on some of the roads.
Something new and adventurous! Take the ski lift to the top of the mountain, climb a few stairs, and cross the expansion bridge. When you get to the center, you can look straight down through the glass floor. Once across, remember that you will need to repeat the journey back! The views are spectacular!!
