Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Devils Den

"Smokies Cuban Cafe is a hidden gem located in a strip mall on the Parkway. Visitors will enjoy authentic Cuban food, including empanadas, plantains, palomilla steak, and Cuban sandwiches. No meal at Smokies Cuban Cafe is complete without trying one of their delicious mango shakes!"

"There’s not another place like it around, so you’ll definitely want to try it. They have a classic Cuban sandwich, or you can try one of their other sandwiches, such as the Palomilla steak. They have roasted pork, chicken, beef, and a ton of other entree options."

"Both locations offer a wide range of desserts, prompting a definite struggle for indecisive types. For many, the treat of choice is dictated by the time of day: donuts for breakfast and ice cream later on. Otherwise, your best bet may involve enjoying ice cream in the store and saving your donut for later."

"Mad Dog’s Creamery and Donuts has a full selection of hand-dipped premium ice cream, soft serve, sundaes, banana splits and so much more!. You’ll be able to choose from 24 different flavors of ice cream, from Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough to Strawberry Cheesecake. You can even get milkshakes!"

"You’ll find your favorite flavors, of course, such as vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. You could always try their unique flavors, from yellow brick road to rainbow sherbet. Get your ice cream in a cup or cone, or have a milkshake in your favorite flavor."

"This small little eatery has gained quite a bit of notice from locals and tourists alike since it opened a few years ago. The Lil Black Bear Cafe is a small business open for breakfast and lunch, but it’s a big hit with the kids and worth including as one of the top places to eat in Pigeon Forge for the little ones. The owner is very caring and lets kids do some coloring to be featured on their ​Facebook page​ as members of the Color the Bear Club."

"A favorite for both breakfast and lunch, guests rave about the pancakes, which are thankfully served all day!. Head on over to their Facebook page to read all of the numerous reviews citing them as, “the best pancakes I’ve ever had.” Now that’s a good pancake!. If you hate pancakes (what?!), the cafe also serves a variety of other American breakfast foods, as well as soups, salads, and yummy baked goods."

"If you’re looking for a new breakfast and lunch spot in Pigeon Forge, you need to check out Lil Black Bear Cafe!. Their breakfast menu features everything from a classic stack of hot pancakes to veggie and meat omelettes. Their lunch menu consists of yummy soups, sandwiches, and salads, like the warm philly steak and cheese or the hearty chef salad."

"On our final morning in Knoxville, we had several options for breakfast—Makers donuts and Status Dough being two worthy contenders (and spots you absolutely must try if you have a sweet tooth), in addition to my regular, tried-and-true haunt, Tomato Head—but I can never resist the crepes at French Market, which has relocated from Gay Street to the other side of the square and, ultimately, won out in a battle of the breakfast foods. I still don’t regret that decision one bit!"

"Make a pit stop at The French Market Creperie for a morning treat and a cup of joe to fuel up for the adventures ahead. Just a block away from Market Square and diagonal to the East Tennessee History Center, it’s a great place to start the day with some caffeine and pleasant conversation with your barista. And if you like the neighborhood already, that’s greater than great since you’ll be looping back around to it later in the day."

"Not all coffee shops in Gatlinburg have to be local for you to visit. In fact, ​Starbucks​ is conveniently located right on the Parkway for you to stop in and get your favorite caffeinated fix. Their success has just as much to do with their quantity of shops as it is the quality with which they deliver."

"The only Starbucks game in Gatlinburg, if you HAVE to have it. Arrive early, as the line out the door forms quickly after opening."

"While many gluten-free eaters prefer to avoid asking for accommodations, this approach will definitely expand your menu options if you stop by Dollywood’s Front Porch Cafe. From grilled chicken to Reuben sandwiches, a significant share of the restaurant’s entrees can be enjoyed by gluten-free visitors, so long as the need for adjustments is made clear. The Front Porch Cafe also offers numerous menu items that appeal to vegetarians."

"This neighborhood pub offers a welcoming atmosphere for West Knoxvillians who don’t want to venture to the Old City for a drink. Enjoy a pint on the patio or inside their 1950s auto-garage inspired building. In addition to their drink menu, Abridged Beer Company offers a dinner menu complete with soft pretzels, pork nachos, burgers, and salads."

"Not too many years ago in the hills of Tennessee, Moonshiners hid their stills from Federal Revenuers as they continued the 200-year-old tradition of making high-proof ’shine’ from corn mash and sugar. It was called hooch, mountain dew, white lightning and the better known name of Moonshine, all made famous in the 1958 movie “Thunder Road” starring Robert Mitchum and Gene Barry, and shot in Cocke County, Tennessee, right next door to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. But today, there has been a revival of the drink with the passing of legislation making production of Moonshine legal in Tennessee, and distillers have been coming out of the woods ever since."

"A local eatery you should try with your family is Delauder’s BBQ. They have all kinds of southern barbeque favorites, including pulled pork and ribs. You can share fried mac and cheese bites or fried green beans with everyone in your group. For an entree, you can get a platter with your choice of meat and sides, or you can try one of the sandwiches or hot dogs."

"For great southern barbeque, you should go to Delauder’s BBQ. They have some of the best prices for the amount of food you get!. Some appetizers they serve include nachos, cheddar jalapeno bites, and fried green beans. Try a pulled pork sandwich or a Smoky Mountain slaw dog."
