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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
