A Fantastic discovery! We drove by the usual gas station spots. It has a paved parking lot with a creek next to it. We walked over the bridge to a Porch front dinner. It was about 8:00 Am. Very picturesque. We picked up fresh made muffins , cookies and coffee. The Two owners are wonderful people.This house conversion is a Great break from the road. We were in & out in minutes.Everything was amazing. read more

This was my first visit here. You order at the window inside and then they bring the meal to you and bus the tables. Prices are not posted on the menu, but it was $35 for 2 paninis with chips and 2 milkshakes. It was a great price. We would recommend the blackberry grilled cheese, it has jam, bacon, and jalapeños on it. It had a very flavorful profile. I loved the brown sugar cinnamon milkshake, it tasted like horchata. The creek is very nice to eat by, and they have sun or shaded areas to sit as well as inside seating. I did almost get attacked by a squirrel but that's not the business's fault. I'm sure it's because most people feed the squirrels and birds. If you sit outside, make sure to pay attention to any animals nearby. The staff were really nice as well. read more

You can't beat the views with the outdoor seating. Everything was delicious and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly amd happy to answer questions about the menu. I highly recommend a visit! read more

Good coffee, tasty fresh food, great service and a wonderful location--love the outdoor space!

You can't beat the location. Quite old house redone into a quintessential coffee house lovely flowers nice garden tables and a babbling brook that was claiming all the children. We were there for our book club , so elected to sit inside in a nice dining area great old pictures on wall Service was first rate I ordered a tuna salad, it was served on a great bread held up to the tuna juice. Served with dill spear and good chips. Had planned on treating my self to ice cream, but that idea went by the way side ate less than 1/2 sandwich, so no dessert will start with dessert first next mo, read more

LOVE love love...... this spot on the creek. Excellent coffee, good dessert choices, wonderful prepared to order fresh sandwiches and a rotation of specials and soups. Friendliest staff.

Tucked away in the Appalachian Mountains sits the beautiful tiny town of Cumberland Gap surrounded by sprawling mountain tops covered with trees and immense history sits Gap Creek Coffee House . Over the last 8 months passing thru or staying in the Cumberland Gap area I have stopped so many times I can't count . I have tried all but 3 drinks on the ever so extensive menu , multiple food items . Met most if not all employees and have to say they are one of the most consistent coffee houses ever . Every drink and every food item has been amazing . Most of the employees are very personable , friendly and genuine . Most definitely a place to stop for great coffee with fun names , good lunch type snacks and good people read more

This place is amazing. Every time I come visit my best friend, we have to come here. The sandwiches are amazing. The coffee is perfect.

Beautiful little spot with delicious coffee and tasty treats. Excellent ambience. Friendly staff.

I highly recommend stopping at The Gap Creek Coffee House for a unique, peaceful, yummy experience. Choose the Ham Panini , Sweet Tea, and a blueberry scone. Sit outside by the gentle river and let the sun beam down on your skin! It is a precious experience! The workers are lovely and you will be happy you listened to me! read more

Very calm place , extremely clean, the workers are extremely nice, will be returning.

We were there on a beautiful fall day so sitting outside By the creek was heavenly! All the coffees and ice cream looked delicious so have lots of reasons to come Back. read more

Cute stop in a sweet little town. The Sammie's were amazing (see order below), and the coffee was just the kick in the ass I needed to handle our post camping trip drive home with my two wild boys. Order: Camel, iced White lightning, frozen Peach bourbon ham melt Blackberry jam grilled cheese Kids turkey and cheese And a club... It was all delicious. read more

This place was busy on a Sunday afternoon and I can see why! Delicious food at a restaurant set in an idyllic location. Waited about 10-15 minutes to order our food at 3pm on a Sunday. Food took about 10 minutes to come out after ordering. We sat in their small indoor dining area, but there are a lot of tables outside to eat at by the little creek that runs by. The only reason I do not give this place 5 stars is that they did not have prices anywhere on the chalkboard menus or on their paper takeout menus. To me, that's a cardinal sin and it's annoying to ask how much each item is before ordering, especially when there is a line behind you. I hope to come back to Cumberland Gap and eat here again though! read more

If you ever thought how a restaurant can easily be missed by just driving. This is it. This is hole in the wall restaurant if you are traveling from Tennessee to Kentucky or Kentucky to Tennessee. Once converted from a house to now a restaurant, it has a lot of history. From the town itself, the Iron Furnace if you like hikes, Churches for wedding venues to the mini-river it sits right next too. You can either choose to sit indoors or outdoors, if in doors note that it is a tight fit. But if you sit outdoors, what a view you can get. From the mountains, weather to hearing the water from the river. Outdoors is dog friendly with a dog park a mile or so away. Sadly breakfast ends at 11, wish it was available until 11:59 for the last birds that get up late. Stop by, you won't regret it. read more

Cute little coffee house right in Cumberland Gap on a beautiful stream. The staff are beyond welcoming and helpful, food is honestly....fantastic!, there is great seating indoor and out (Dog friendly), and they provide decent WiFi for the middle of Appalachia. The staff was very helpful and even allowed me to open a tap while I prepped to take an online test and have a Zoom meeting. The prices are very reasonable. I recommend a frozen mocha (soy milk...duh) and their amazing chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, substitute potato salad for chips. The club salad was very satisfying and the ingredients were very good quality, all for under $9.00. The restroom was clean and large and the entire house was very well kept. Thanks Gap Creek for your hospitality! read more

No other word comes to mind other than"cute" and "quant." Right along a little babbling creek, this place has strung lights, outdoor seating, and few tables inside as well. A wide array of sandwiches topping at $7.99. We're not talking just some turkey and cheese on sliced bread. These were tasty and toasted and had ones I wouldn't expect to see in this small mountain town. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and it tasted just as good as one you'd find in the city. My gf got a country ham sandwich and it had a wonderful saltiness to it. They're served with chips - not sure if there are other sides. Also a decent selection of ice cream to get a cone and baked goods like cakes, scones, and coffee. The great part is that this is open pretty late which you might not expect for a coffee house. This is an ideal place to grab a bite after getting off the hiking trail nearby or to study. We'll definitely be back with friends when they come to visit us. read more

When I tell you that the outdoor seating is above and beyond... It is definitely above and beyond! There are tables and chairs sitting by a running creek that is absolutely heaven! I got the manager special, but changed it up a little bit, these coffees are to die for! It's not just a coffeehouse they have food, and some of the very best ice cream you will put in your mouth. I would give this place an 11 out of 10! You gotta check it out! read more

Mmmmmmm. Cute, quaint, cool. Great pimiento/ cheese/ jalapeno panini for me and wife had a spinach/ bacon salad as well as a couple of coffees. Delicious, reasonable, very friendly and patient (I'm a basic coffee guy, but wanted something a little different, and the cashier walked me through it (latte, frappe, etc). Love this place. read more

My husband and I just moved here from california ! We did a little hiking up to skylight cane and felt a little hungry and thirsty afterwards so we swung by this amazing little hole in the wall and we were pleasantly surprised! !

Great service - great tasting food - totally reasonable prices and we were even able to eat next to the beautiful tranquil stream -- ! I highly recommend this amazing establishment! Everything about this place was perfect and we will definitely be back ! read more

Gap Creek Coffee House - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cumberland Gap, Tennessee

I went there on 3/17/23 and only ordered a small latte. I didn't ordered anything else, no extra shot, or flavoring or dessert. I only had a couple of dollars on me, so I had to use my credit card. I know the server said it $4 and some change. I put a 1 dollar in the tip jug. I signed my receipt, but I don't remember if I mark a line thru the tip part, which I usually do when I leave a cash tip. Today I notice that i was charged $ 7.49 for my small latte with nothing extra in it. I believe somebody wrote in a 3-dollar tip on it. I called them this morning and the manager wasn't there and no call back as of yet. So be aware of this people. I won't be back that's for sure!!!!!! read more

Visiting Gap Creek is always a pleasure. Having been there numerous times, I can honestly say I've never had a negative experience. The staff is kind and helpful, the ambiance is spectacular (I highly recommend eating outside by the creek if the weather permits), and the food is amazing. I have my favorite meals from the menu, but I also enjoy trying the special of the day. In addition to the great food, the coffee and other drinks are such a treat! I particularly enjoy the frozen Railsplitter. Lincoln Memorial University is in the immediate vicinity, thus the drink's name. (Y'all will have to do a quick search for deets.) The cookies and other desserts are enticing to conclude visits. If you're in the area for any reason, make sure to stop by - you'll love it!! read more

This was our second time in two days to visit this quaint coffee shop. The drinks, the food, the service and the staff were all awesome. We enjoyed our first visit so much we had to come back. If you want a great place to enjoy a coffee drink or lunch or ice cream and sit outside and relax by the creek this is the place. Can't say enough about how wonderful the Gap Creek Coffee House and Cafe is! read more

Nice coint little place. Sandwiches were great. Coffee drinks are subpar and needs more of a kick and it would be perfect
