I got an iced latte with cookie butter and cinnamon bun syrup. Yum! Liked that there were lots of flavor options and ways to customize your drink. I think the syrups were Monin brand. Service was good! You order at the window and wait for them to bring your drink out the side door. There is no interior for customers to enter. There were benches nearby but no actual seating for the shack. It's close to The Village shops if you wanted to go over there to sit. read more

Coffee Shop No. 486 Coffee Shack The Villages, Gatlinburg, TN March 26, 2025 This was my third cortado in less than a couple of hours. I was feeling a bit jittery and wasn't sure if I could consume another one. Plus, I noticed everyone was ordering fancy over the top lattes and shakes. This is generally a bad sign for espresso drinkers. I went up to say hello to the gentleman in the Coffee Shack (great name by the way). He knew what a cortado was and sounded like he enjoyed them too. This is a VERY good sign; so I went ahead and ordered the cortado. It was FANTASTIC; totally worth the extra jitters. And it was the best cortado I consumed in Gatlinburg! Enjoying life one cortado at a time! read more

it's really good coffee for sure. good me Uma with lots of flavors. very friendly staff, they are so bus don't does take a while to get the coffee but other than that, worth the wait. the white chocolate latte was good! would definitely come here again. i'm a fan read more

Kinda waited a little for drinks and there wasn't that much of a wait, but it's not bad. I will say, there's no parking unless you want to pay $20 for parking. I think the biggest downside is the location if you just want to grab a quick coffee. If you're touring the area, it's a nice place to grab something. There was so many flavors to choose from. read more

What a golden nugget to find! The coffee was smooth and flavorful, and the staff was so friendly. I am so glad that I stumbled across this coffee shop. If you are visiting Gatlinburg, definitely give this place your business. The best coffee in town. read more

Quick service for a great selection of coffee beverages. There are 20+ Monin syrup flavors. Only walk up and place your order - no outdoor or indoor seating. read more

The coffee is great here at this metropolitan shop in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg. The best part of this shop was the service in my opinion--very kind folks. Would definitely return. read more

Great coffee and barista! My wife and I enjoyed two caramel lattes a bagel and breakfast sandwich. It was delicious and worth the money!

We got an iced almond milk sf gingerbread latte, an iced latte with mocha and peanut butter, and an iced coffee with caramel and coconut. Our barista was super nice and he made sure our drinks were made perfectly. He even made sure we knew the almond milk was sweetened for the sf latte. The shack is super cute and makes it easy and quick to get coffee. Would definitely go back. read more

When i go on vacation, i love to find new coffee places. Walking on the main drag of Gatlinburg, got my first mocha at Coffee Shack. Considering it was in the middle of a tourist area, the pricing was very reasonable. The coffee matters most at a coffee bar. Coffee here was really good. The young lady serving me was friendly, efficient, and, again, made a great mocha. Great location, great service, and great coffee. Coffee shack is a winner. read more

Coffee Shack - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

I'm not usually one to leave a review, but the service here was so bad that I just have to. The man working was so incredibly rude and condescending- he should not be working customer service (mid afternoon November 22, 2025). The coffee itself was good, and if the person working was kind like other reviews I'd seen, I would have given 4 stars. When I ordered a caramel latte he acted as if I were an idiot and said (read with extreme sass) "I think you mean you actually want a caramel macchiato-it's the exact same thing" (no, it is not but I was caught off guard by his attitude that I didn't know how to respond to him) When my friend ordered her iced chai and requested a syrup added, he was incredibly rude and said "no one adds syrups to chai I don't understand why you would want to do that." She then paid $9 for a 12oz chai. She and I have both worked in coffee shops and customer service, and we were so flabbergasted by his attitude that we both said we would never be back again. He does not deserve the job he has, and I pray to God he is not the owner because he needs 1.) to be taught how you treat people and 2.) more education on his products and coffee in general. I always choose to support local coffee shops, which is why we passed a Starbucks to specifically seek out the Coffee Shack. After the experience here, I wish I had just gone to Starbucks. read more

Visiting Gatlinburg for the week and I love trying different coffee shops while traveling. First, I wouldn't drive here ONLY to get coffee. This area is packed and there's no free parking. I'd recommend trying this spot only if you're planning on spending the day in this area so you're not paying $20 parking only for a coffee trip. First impression wasn't great. I stood at the window for 5 minutes before even being acknowledged. The girl looked busy but a simple "hi, I'll be with you soon" would be good customer service. I started wondering if maybe they weren't taking orders or something. Once I was able to order my coffee, the girl was nice and I felt like maybe she was just stressed. For 2 coffees it was $17.86 which I was mind blown by but over the past couple days I've come to realize that coffee is just expensive everywhere here. I don't think that's unique to the coffee shack. My coffee was pretty good. She had recommended a fall drink to me. My husband got a dirty chai which is his usual everywhere and he said it was the best dirty chai he's ever had. He said it was creamy. I wasn't blown away but I also wasn't disappointed. I hope this helps someone! read more

Great coffee solid array of options too. On the main drag so works as far as connivence too. Closes early though

This has to be the worst coffee place I've been, horrific service!!! I ordered a coffee, ask for a pump of sweetener and he put 8 pumps in!!!!! When I then said its way too sweet for my liking and if he could put more coffee in. He said "I'm not wasting my product on you" then said "its coffee don't you think it will be sweet?!?" absolutely horrible attitude, not understanding! if I'm paying $10.15 for a coffee, I would want it to be drinkable. Ended up having to give the coffee to a homeless person to not waste it. DON'T GO HERE!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY! read more

The service was excellent. I got a caramel macchiato with marshmallow and he helped make it work. As a barista myself I give this place 5 stars, just an overall great experience. read more

The coffee shack had excellent coffee and espresso! The owner was absolute gemShe remembered our order every day. I wish we had a coffee shack in Minneapolis read more

I stopped by here this past Tuesday morning with my wife for our morning coffee. We had walked by the Coffee Shack a day before and so I decided to give it a try. Like it's name states, it's a "shack" on the main drag in Gatlinburg and so there is not too much to say about it. You walk up, place your order and wait for your coffee. On this morning I decided to go with with a large latte while my wife went with a small coffee. My coffee here ended up being decent as I could taste both the coffee and the milk and enjoyed the taste. My wife was also a big fan as she thought the coffee had a deep and rich taste to it. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. This coffee shop has a great location which can be convenient if you are out in Gatlinburg in the morning. read more

Love this place for coffee. Hands down the better than any Starbucks or any coffee around. My go to is the vanilla frapp. The ice is very well blended and no chunks. For an extra creamy get it with whip cream. There's usually a line no matter what time of the day I visit so that says a lot about their quality. read more

Pretty expensive coffee place, 9 bucks for a large iced coffee. But the coffee is definitely good. Recommended

My husband and I spent the week here and this has by-far been our favorite spot! The staff is always friendly and the coffee always tastes good! Definitely stop by if you're ever in the area! read more

It was the night before New Year. I took a wonderful nap before hitting the town, but I was craving something warm and delicious to help me with this cold weather. I stopped by Coffee Shack, and they have more than I could ever imagine; not only was this hot chai tea the most incredible drink I've ever had, but the service was excellent. So caring. For the new year, I had to get more. This time, a large. The staff was so friendly and caring. In conclusion, try the place and fall in love with it. read more

Coffee Shack - Large iced caramel latte.. it was AMAZING!!! Not too sweet, not too bitter. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

It was too sweet and very overpriced. There are better options if you go to Pigeon Forge. I didn't get a chance to try the coffee shop down the street from this one. I think this one probably gets the business they do as a result of their location. Pretty decent customer service. Just way too sweet and way over-priced read more

I got a French vanilla cappuccino yesterday evening, and it was awesome. Glad I found this place. And the price was very reasonable for a large. read more
