The Coffee Shack
610 Parkway, Gatlinburg
7:30 a.m.-8 p.m.
Sitting directly on the Parkway across from Mountain Mall, The Coffee Shack is something special! It’s window service only so there is no indoor seating, but this is a ‘grab and go’ that you’ll want before you hit the sidewalks of the strip.

In addition to a perfect cup of coffee, they offer Lattes, Frappes, hot chocolate, apple cider, chia teas and frozen smoothies. Do you kids enjoy a coffee drink too? Ask for a Kid’s temperature – what a wonderful option!

The vibe was so nice inside, it was a great place to just sit and drink the DELICIOUS coffee I got there. Definitely give it a try if you’re interested!!!

Maddi Mae’s Café & Creamery
634 Parkway, Downtown Gatlinburg in The Village ShopsThe former Village Cafe & Creamery is now Maddi Mae’s.  The change in ownership hasn’t changed the extensive menu featuring medium and dark roast coffees, Frappes, Espressos, Capuccin’s, spiced cider and teas.  The wonderful thing about Maddie Mae’s is they are also a creamery so not only can you get a specialty iced coffee, they have smoothies and cofee infused ice cream drinks.  Take your coffee to go or sit and relax, check your email and make those Facebook books about this great little cafe in The Village Shops.

Facebook Review: The ice cream was delicious and the staff was very friendly.  They had a couple tables and chairs just outside their door so we were able to sit and eat our ice cream while enjoying the atmosphere!  Highly recommend!
