The Artistic Bean
8027 E Lamar Alexander Pkwy, Gatlinburg, TN
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Gatlinburg, this beloved coffee shop roasts its espresso fresh in-house with such precision that every shot arrives crowned with an impressive crema and aromatic complexity that keeps visitors coming back repeatedly. Beyond the exceptional coffee, the space radiates genuine warmth through eclectic live music, the owners' infectious personality, and pastries and light bites that match the quality of the brew. It's the kind of place that accidentally discovered becomes a must-visit destination, equally welcoming whether you're lingering solo for a slow sit or gathering with family and friends.”

Found this gem of a place by accident, and it was so good we kept coming back for the last three days of our vacation. The place is cute, the staff is super friendly, and the coffee and breakfast are absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!
Very high quality espresso with a large crema, they are roasted fresh in house and are phenomenally aromatic and flavorful
This quaint shop is full of love and laughter. Music fills the air sometimes one live but others just a gentle undertone of the eclectic vibes of the owners. The coffee and pastries are amazing! Online ordering is a breeze as well. This shop will provide your favorite roast no matter where you are. There are 3 things we need in this life. Jesus, Coffee, and music. You will find all three at The Artisic Bean!!
This coffee shop has great atmosphere. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Loved the iced black americano so much that my wife and I stopped back in several hours later for another. Also picked up a bag of beans!
Love this place and wish it were closer to my home so I could visit often. Townsend, TN my favorite gateway to the Smokey Mountains National Park has one of the nicest and friendliest coffee shops! The coffee is roasted in the building, and brewed by some expert baristas. I’m not sure who makes their pastries but they are delicious, and the star of the show is their avocado toast. A lovely concoction which is so simply prepared it’s sublime! The atmosphere is rich and warm, with plenty of varied seating and tables. The staff are fantastic, helpful and attentive. Stop in and enjoy a great cup of coffee in this convivial and amazing place!
