The s'more' seasonal latte was awesome!! Service was very good, the ladies making the coffee were delightful. Very cute vibe inside, they gave 3 seating areas, 2 inside and one outside. There are also a bunch of games you can use while you hang! read more

Came by when we were just walking around town shops, I got a caramel apple cider and my bf got a cookie and slushie. My caramel cider was amazing. Perfect for the weather. It definitely could have been mixed a bit more because a lot of caramel was concentrated on the bottom but it was amazing. I'd go back for more. The slushie on the other hand was meh. I think it needed more flavoring added. The cookie was good as well. The girls were really nice at the counter. Overall I'd be back maybe even to try the butter beer thing they had advertised on their board I didn't see until after getting cider. Prices were also reasonable too which is definitely a win! read more

What a smell! And I mean that in the most coffee-loving way possible. I had such a delightful experience in the Smoky Mountain Coffee Roasters. My crew had two drip coffees, strawberry slushie, and a blueberry and cheese danish. They have multiple carafes of drip coffee available, and I settled on the Breakfast Blend. The service was excellent, from the person who helped us with the danish, to the person who helped my kiddo decide on their drink. But the best service was to have an encounter with the coffee roaster himself. We were able to witness the original, untreated coffee beans, with their greenish hue. We could then see the vat with the roasted bean and compare. To our luck, we only had to wait 10° to see freshly roasted beans come out! Who needs any other entertainment when you can learn about where your coffee comes from and how it goes from start to finish. We actually came here for their whole bean coffee, and everything else was an unexpected bonus. We picked the Organic Guatemalan Roast, since we are creatures of habit. They ground our coffee for us, we paid, and went off on our journey a little more relaxed than when we came in. Definitely a place to stop when you're in the area. We love their coffee and their hospitality. read more

I stopped by to pick up a pound of freshly roasted coffee beans as I prefer to grind them daily myself. The blends are very aromatic and I feel that they are priced right. There's a little area to sit and enjoy a cup or two of their coffee while enjoying the coffee house vibe. Staff was helpful in selecting a blend for my taste and I appreciate the service. read more

Great coffee. Just walking in lifts your expectation by the strong scent of roasted coffee beans. While the place lacks cozy charm, the coffee is outstanding. We were going to get a pastry or cookie but they looked picked over and a bit overdone. So we passed. They could use better seating to invite people to stay awhile, but we still enjoyed the coffee so much all that didn't matter. read more

Wow, this place is popping and very popular. I believe it's the only coffee shop in the Waynesville area. I like that they grind their coffee onsite. It seems to be a hotspot with the locals including my parents. We saw a lot of people entering to get coffee and buy a bag of coffee beans. I got a Large Lavender Latte...with 2% milk - a little odd they ran out of whole milk already prior to noon. I thought my Latte was good, but would've been tastier w/whole milk. I got an Everything Bagel w/cream cheese. The bagel tasted homemade, was dense and chewy like it should be! The decor is minimal...could use some more love. read more

My absolute favorite coffee shop in the Waynesville area by far. The coffee is great and they will mix a flavor for you if they are out of stock if you ask. I always get the Snickerdoodle with the Organic Sumatran. I also get those beans plain as well. The staff is friendly and always helpful. Highly recommended. read more

I'm homesick just reading the (mostly) positive reviews. I lived in Waynesville for 7 years and frequented this amazing coffee shop often. The baristas were amazing and one helped me with finding a lower acid coffee. Peruvian, yum. Yes, the place is small, and maybe staff might be a bit overwhelmed at times, but I was only greeted with a kind hello and very helpful service. Any criticisms read in the reviews seemed extremely petty to me. I remember one barista especially, super kind and friendly; we ended up trading her own pound of coffee for the espresso cups I had bought at the thrift store. (Within Reach benefits the local women's shelter. Make sure to drop in there too!) What other coffee roaster sells their precious coffee by the pound anymore, and far less than any other roaster I'm aware of. I live in Wisconsin now, and while we do have good coffee here, I will be calling tomorrow and ordering at least 10 lbs of coffee. read more

Super informal coffee roasters - shop, great smells, they have cookies and a bagel bar that small but does the trick. I really liked the authentic ambiance. read more

The staff was great and helpful since we had never been before. The amount of flavors they have to add to your coffee was almost overwhelming lol she suggested Heath bar and so I went with it. It was a really good latte and same for just the regular coffee with almond milk. Prices are great and they do have indoor and outdoor seating which was nice to see. Also ordered a bagel and it was okay, I wouldn't have it again. read more

Nice quick stop and a good cup of coffee. Rustic ambience and locally owned. Liked the chai tea and latte.

Yes!!! Great coffee and espresso! Support your local small businesses! And tip the baristas! This place is one of the only genuine coffee shops you can find in the area. I'm not talking cafes with tons of food. Chocolate shops with "coffee". I mean a real coffee shop. This place is it and is legit. If you're a coffee connoisseur as myself and have to try EVERY coffee shop when you travel, hit this place up as your main chain! Grab some beans for the road too! And also, their prices are outrageous. As in, CHEAP! They don't over-charge you for extra shots, flavors, drip coffee is cheap, etc. They keep the price low and the coffee good. So glad I got to visit here not once but twice during my Waynesville stay. I will come back on future trips, you can count on that. read more

Waynesville was one of the highlights of our Blue Ridge Parkway adventures, both in 2016 and 2017. The best part of visiting Waynesville was discovering Smoky Mountain Coffee Roasters. Their Deep Creek blend is exceptional and I have ordered 10 lbs of Deep Creek beans every couple of months for the past 5 years. I am so happy that they continue roasting such a quality blend and that I can enjoy their exquisite coffee. Thank you, Keith Stanosz Presque Isle, WI read more

This place is very cool for a coffee shop. Although takeout only during this pandemic, you can still stop by and get cup of coffee (yes iced as well for those warmer days) and the little bakery side looks just as good. Don't expect to pay high dollar here. Very affordable pricing! They even have chocolate covered espresso beans! Very friendly staff. read more

Great coffee and delicious, simple baked treats. Friendly staff and active roasting happening on site.

Today was my first visit, and I'll DEFINITELY be back. This is the only place in Waynesville that I've found with REALLY good whole bean coffee, and it's only $10/lb. We were making a bi-weekly trip to World Market in Arden, so thank goodness that's over. The baristas are knowledgeable about their product and SO nice. They allowed us to sample a couple of diffrent roasts before making our decion. Furthermore, Iced coffee for three bucks, PLUS flavoring syrups made with cane sugar (not HFC)? Yes, please! I'm already eagerly awaiting our next trip in! read more

I was in town for the day, and really needed coffee. I stopped by this cafe, and to my surprise, its not your usual coffee house. I was greeted kindly, and was assisted with my orders. As we grabbed a table, they started pouring coffee beans into a roaster. It was so interesting to see the whole process happen right in front of our eyes. The smell of the beans in the roaster was heavenly. I will definitely be back when i am in Waynesville. read more

Noticing a trend. Neato tittle coffee place, but some of the baristas would be more at home in Asheville where grunting, scowling, and treating paying customers as if they ought be really happy just to be acknowledged is the norm. Coffee is always super, food is good; just please remember that this is Hazelwood, not AsheVegas. I'll try you again in a few weeks. If it hasn't changed, there's always Panacea. read more

Great coffee, great service and excellent bagels as well. Love the inside of the building and you can buy Bach's of coffee to take home. Only reason I'm giving 4 is because they have a 5$ minimum on cards. read more
