GSM Outfitters Coffee Cafe

Crema's Take
“GSM Outfitters in Gatlinburg is a cozy neighborhood gem where the owners Gene, Cyndi, and Malala genuinely treat you like friends, even helping travelers with practical advice between pouring impeccable lattes and custom-flavored coffees. The warm, dog-friendly atmosphere makes it perfect for lingering over a cup and some quality jerky, and visitors consistently rave that their drinks—from simple salted caramel lattes to creative flavor combinations—rival anything they've had on their travels.”

We stumbled upon this gem by accident and were delighted by our experience. Not only were the owners warm and kind, but everything we got was incredible. Everyone in our party agreed it was the best coffee we had our whole vacation and my son attested the hot chocolate was "magical". They were able to make everything dairy free, even the hot chocolate. We also picked up delicious local beef jerky, got a lovely hand woven scarf, and some souvenirs for the kids. Its clear the owners put their whole heart into making high quality drinks and providing unique items; there's something for everyone. We are so glad we stopped in here and found this treasure.
We bought a tumbler since we forgot to bring a water bottle. The guy was very nice gave us information between bear spray and an air horn, washed the tumbler and filled it with water for us and made very good smoothies. Very appreciative that he helped us while we were not prepared!
Wonderful little coffee shop! Definitely recommend stopping in, just don't come hungry. Unfortunately they can't serve breakfast because of the restaurant next door. Seems a shame they can't offer sandwiches or something for those who don't want to go in and sit down at the Hillbilly Pancake house.
Big shout out to Gene, Cyndi, and Malala. This location is awesome! They have delicious hot coffee and flavored coffee. They will make you any flavor you want. The jerky is so flavorful and well priced. They have cool stickers, shirts, sweaters and hoodies, and so much more. The owners Gene and Cyndi gave us some recommendations on some beautiful drives we could take locally to get a feel for the area and he did not disappoint. Everything about this stop was great. Twenty out of ten totally recommend stopping by.
Adorable shop with tasty snacks and delicious drinks with warm and welcoming staff! My “basic” salted caramel iced latte was quite remarkable, the best coffee I’ve had during my week vacation in the area (I’ve had a lot!). We stayed just a few minutes away at Laurel Crest, a Bluegreen resort, and wish I would’ve found this great spot sooner. Can’t wait to be back.
