Crema's Take
“This is a hotel cafe operating on a 3.9-star rating based on only 14 reviews—too thin a sample to trust. The main complaint across reviewers is steep pricing paired with inconsistent execution: coffee temperatures and order accuracy are unreliable, food quality doesn't justify the $10+ drinks and $60+ lunch tabs, and the space looks better in photos than in person. If you're staying at the lodge and want convenience, it's there; if you're hunting for good coffee in Gatlinburg, the risk isn't worth it.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

See all on Google →The coffee was okay, mine was lukewarm but you didn't pay for parking. Sitting and drinking the coffee in the great pool area was nice but $10. for a large offer was very expensive.
Typical hotel coffee bar. Beware it looks nothing like the pictures. Overpriced too.
The cafe is cute and the menu looks good, but the quality of the food is extremely poor. The prices are also really high for the low quality. It cost over $60 for three lunches and small smoothies.
Very friendly and great coffee! Highly recommend!
Coffee was extremely hot. New lady messed orders, overcharged and then forgot to brew the coffee. Owner must not put new people during rush hour.
Ehh I wouldn’t stop by again. We hesistated because it was in a hotel, but saw this was their second location so we gave them a try assuming they knew what they were doing by having multiple locations. Both of our coffees were wrong and our muffin was dry. We ordered a lemonade…
