Crema's Take
“Nestled in Gatlinburg's charming Arts & Crafts Community, this cozy spot brews fresh coffee with genuine care and shines with creative seasonal drinks like butter pecan brûlée and white chocolate raspberry mocha. The intimate space feels genuinely welcoming—complete with a fireplace for chilly days, a friendly resident cat, and a dog-friendly patio—making it the perfect refuge whether you're exploring the local arts scene or just looking for a locally-owned escape off the main tourist drag.”

If you are on the Gatlinburg art loop you should definitely stop at the Painted Bear Coffee Co. The espresso in my iced Americano was super good! I also got a cherry turnover and that was delicious! The prices are fair and the service was great! Check it out!
Very cute, cozy, homey environment. Staff was great, friendly and accommodating. They even asked how sweet I like my frappe, which was awesome. Caramel Frappe has a good coffee presence. Love it! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
