Stumbled upon this place while on vacation in the area. It's located in the back of Martha's market and well worth the stop. The baristas were super friendly and happy to answer any questions that we had. The decor was really cute and gave you plenty to look at while you're enjoying your beverage of choice. There's plenty of tables and space for you to sit down. I ordered the vanilla bean Frappuccino and drank every last drop. I went for a small and was glad that I did because it was quite hefty. If you have the opportunity to give this place a try, go for it! read more

Alleyway Caffe - Vanilla bean Frappuccino - Cafes Near Me - Dandridge, Tennessee

A cute little spot nestled in downtown. The staff is exceptionally friendly with lots of knowledge of the area. We both got coffees which were hot and delicious! One of us got a gourmet grilled cheese which was a wonderful mix of flavors. We definitely recommend this cafe for anyone who's passing through! read more

Alleyway Caffe - Alleyway art - Cafes Near Me - Dandridge, Tennessee

We moved to the area and knew one of the first things we wanted was to find a solid coffee place. We visited Alleyway Coffee after reading reviews on Yelp. It was a bit difficult to find so if you're going here know that it's in the back of a shop, keep an eye out for a small sign! After wandering and checking out what the shop offered we walked to the back, found seating, and made our way to the counter. From the moment we walked in there was a huddle next to the counter of 3 people chatting. They looked our way multiple times but I just assumed they were patrons. After standing at the counter and another customer walking in, probably 5 minutes of standing, a girl came from the back and asked us what we'd like. She barely looked at us, only said what was absolutely necessary, seemed annoyed when I asked questions about the menu. They were out of something I asked about, no biggie. Eventually my husband and I place our orders, I got an energy drink and he got a coffee. At the end, the girl who took our orders start chatting with the 3 people huddled in the walkway between the store and back area and we realize they work there. All in all, my drink was fine, my husbands tasted burnt, and the store/coffee shop while absolutely adorable and inviting, the service and atmosphere was not. read more

Handful of choices of fun named coffee choices. Teas and a daily lunch are also available. The girls inside were friendly and welcoming.

Alleyway Cafe offers delicious drinks hot and cold, homemade baked goods and panninis. We had two coffees and a bagel with butter (the butter was really good!) everything was excellent. So much better and less expensive than you know who! This is a great addition to Dandridge and I love supporting local small businesses. read more

Love the coffee here and the shop is so cute! This is a great place to grab a coffee in the morning and rock in the rocking chairs on the front porch while enjoying your beverage. read more

This was our third trip to Dandridge, but our first time looking for a coffee shop. Quaint, friendly with good customer service and an inviting atmosphere kept us here for a couple of hours chatting with family that we had met up with while in the area! I ordered the honey latte and was not disappointed. I'm sure when we're back in the area, we'll be back! read more

Fantastic coffee and service! Martha's market is an adorable place to shop. Ask for Donna!

First let me say I go out of my way to support small businesses. The place is kind of hard to find, in the alley. Signage is there but small. The coffee was very good, a vanilla latte where you can still taste the good coffee with just enough vanilla syrup but not too sweet. The ham and cheese panini was good, but nothing special. Service was friendly. My complaint: the barista did not wear a mask. When I asked her why, she said there's no mandate. True, but to me staff wearing a mask in a service establishment shows me that you respect me and my health. To be fair, once I asked her about no mask she said I could request it and she'd put one on. Not the point though. So if you don't care about masks, the coffee is good. I care, so I'll be looking elsewhere to spend $6 on a coffee. read more

A quaint spot located in the heart of downtown. Feels homie and comfortable, and family friendly ! The sisters that work the counter, greet customers as if they were family, then get to the task of whipping up some delishishness; wether it be a drink, snack or something sweet; you'll be sure to find something that satisfies!! I came with my daughter and granddaughter and we will definitely be back!!! Thanks girls... your fabulous people skills and your talent in culinary arts made us feel loved and cared for!!!

Super disappointed. I went out of my way to go here due to good reviews. Showed up and they were sold out of all the food products. I had my kid with me and asked if they had anything caffeine free and they lady working very carelessly goes "it's on the board". She didn't seem at all interested in my business so I walked right back out. read more

While we were visiting Dandridge we enjoyed several Caramel Lattes and Chocolate Peppermint Lattes at The Alleyway Cafe. They were the perfect combination of coffee & sweetness. Not too sweet! read more

This is such a cool little spot. Downtown Dandridge is quint and charming to begin with, like something out of a country travel magazine. Alleyway fits right in. It has an upscale yet down home vibe. The handcrafted lattes are excellent. I love that they have vegan alternatives to milk The muffins are homemade on site every morning. It is always a surprise as to what other baked goods will be available as there is no set menu for them. My husband loves their their ultimate cheese pannini but he asks them to add ham. I would love to see them add salads to the menu. The service is excellent. It is always nice when it is obvious the staff is happy to be there. This area of Tennessee is easy going on masks. Some restaurants even have "No mask required" signs in their windows. So, if you are uncomfortable with that, it is best to stick to chain restaurants when visiting the area. If not, you will fall in love with this spot. read more

Super quaint shop with a very cute vibe. Coffee was great and is worth the price 100%
