We wanted to go somewhere that was locally owned and off the beaten path. We were also looking for places to visit with our dog and this was recommended on some forum. After visiting the dog park we stopped here for a coffee. I ordered the caramel frap and turkey and cheese bagel. My husband ordered the tiramisu frappe and chicken salad sandwich. We both were very happy with our purchase. It was easily the best frappacino I’ve ever had and my husband loved his sandwich. A very cozy vibe and we even got to say hello to the honey the cat outside. We will definitely be back.

This coffee shop is really one of a kind. Located in the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community, their coffees are brewed fresh and obviously sweetened with love. I got a seasonal treat- butter pecan brûlée latte! If you’re a coffee girly, this is a must stop during your trip to the mountains. You won’t regret it.

Snowy cold day & stopped in to warm up. Tried specialty drinks (apple caramel frap & white chocolate raspberry mocha sf). Also had apple danish. Service was quick, gas fireplace made warm atmosphere & coffee was very good. Staff very nice and enjoyed our stop. Especially loved the multiple sugar free syrup options! Most places have 1-2 & they had 5-6. Definitely go again. Ty!

Stopped in while touring the arts and crafts district. Small space with big flavors. Had a coffee and a cinnamon roll. Honey the cat was sunning on the front porch welcoming passer byers to the coffee shop. Indoor and outdoor seating depending on the weather. Would come back again when we are in the area.

Delicious made to order coffees, lattes, frappes, and more. Nice selection of cookies and pastries. From ice cream to cold drinks and local honey, this place has a lot to offer. They are even carry local whole bean coffee from Snowbird Mountain Coffee Co.
