Cuppa Gatlin Cafe
458 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN
Crema's Take
“This Gatlinburg gem strikes that perfect balance between a quick caffeine fix and a cozy destination worth lingering in, with a menu that goes well beyond standard coffee shop fare—their chai is genuinely exceptional, and their creative signature drinks are clearly crafted with care (and Instagram appeal). You'll find yourself charmed by welcoming service, thoughtful breakfast options like their standout Berry French Toast, and the pleasant street-view seating that makes it an ideal retreat whether you're a hotel guest seeking a short walk or a traveler who discovered it through word-of-mouth recommendations.”

Love it! It was a short walk from our hotel (stayed at Indigo) and everything was absolutely yummy. I'm a huge fan of chai and this is one of the best chais I've ever had - not too sweet or too much spice - almost like brown sugar oatmeal flavor. The banana parfait were perfect with fresh bananas, yummy granola, peach and honey. The cups have a lot in them too, I couldn't even finish my parfait. The gentleman taking orders was so friendly and nice too. Definitely a must while in Gatlinburg!
Great coffee and food in a cozy space. We had espresso drinks and my son had hot chocolate that was dalloped with whip cream and chocolate. Drink presentation feels geared towards social media posting if you’re so inclined. We had the crepes, yogurt parfait, French toast and avocado toast. All were good.
This is a nice spot to stop by for a quick bite. The view of the street is pleasant, and the menu has some interesting options. I ordered something like a coconut latte but forgot to ask for it without sugar… I only realized it after tasting it. Still, it was tasty, though I personally prefer unsweetened drinks.
We were here on vacation, we got the Berry French Toast and Chorizo & Bacon Burrito. They were both AMAZING. The jam on the side of the French Toast was not jam though which was very disappointing. But I got some syrup and almost devoured the plate too. Did not try the coffee but highly recommend the breakfast! Cute atmosphere, limited seating but not super busy
Good, pleasant experience here. Before traveling to Gatlinburg area, I saw someone reviewing this coffee shop and knew I wanted to visit it. We were pleasantly surprised by welcoming customer service and delicious food & drinks. The place is very cute & cozy. Our food came out quick. Fresh avocado 🥑 toast (didn't seem pre-made) and fresh berries. The parking is across a street, so you'll have to walk a few minutes, not far.
