14 Best Coffee Shops near Whittier

“We always make a point to visit The Peddler Steakhouse whenever we’re in Gatlinburg, and it never disappoints. The salad bar is large, very fresh, and has a wonderful variety of choices. Everything we’ve eaten here has been delicious.

I definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time, and if possible, ask for a window seat overlooking the creek. We usually see bears while we’re there, which makes the experience even more special.

Another nice option is that you can bring your own bottle of wine and pay an uncorking fee.

The food, atmosphere, and beautiful creekside setting keep us coming back. We already plan to make reservations for our next Gatlinburg trip in November. One of our favorite places to eat when we visit! 🥩🍷“

“We love White Moon! The coffee is great! The food is awesome and a nice variety of options. It’s cozy, a great spot to meet and all the employees are friendly and welcoming.“

“So happy to find this shop. 13 moons latte is delicious and unique. The staff was amazing. I wish we had had more time to check it but I hope i can visit again. Can't wait to try the coffee beans at home!“

“If you're ever in Bryson City you must get the Friiters At Honey Bear's Cupcakery!!“

“My family and are I are extra thankful this year for the kindness and generosity of Jeff and Pam Pulley, the owners of Mountain Perks Espresso Bar & Cafe. Two weeks ago, my kids and I came to Bryson City to ride the Polar Express train with friends. GPS said I was only .5 of a mile away from my destination, but my car got stuck on the rocky road on a very steep mountain and I had no cell service. Turns out I inadvertently got lost very high up on the mountain (later we would found out I was 20 minutes away from the house we were staying). My kids and I walked to the nearest house that had a light on, and by the grace of God, Jeff and Pam took us in and helped us. Jeff and his neighbor, Keith, also got my car out of the ditch I backed into, and my kids and I were still able to make the train ride. Jeff and Pam didn’t have to open up their door and help three complete strangers, but they did with open arms. Jeff and Keith didn’t have to get my car out, but they did. Let this story remind you that there are truly amazing people in this world; Jeff and Pam (and Keith) are angels walking among us! My kids and I visited Jeff and Pam at their coffee shop the next morning, and let me just say, their food and coffee are delicious! I highly recommend going there if you are ever in Bryson City, and they are located right across from the train station!“

“Fast, friendly and courteous. The drinks are delicious. Will most certainly be back.“

“Great place. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is delicious. I got the pastrami on rye with grilled onions. It was fantastic. I could only eat half. Warmed up the other half for dinner that night and it filled me up. If you are in Sylvania you should really give it a try. You won't be disappointed.“

“I have been going to Heavenly Fudge since I was a kid 15 years ago. It was always one of my family's highlights when going to the mountains. Now, as an adult, every year for my birthday we make the 2.5 hour trip just to get some Heavenly Fudge. It's nostalgic for me I'll admit, but I can't understand how anyone could say the fudge is bland. I've personally never had that experience, and like I said I've been there a lot.

My personal favorites are the chocolate, chocolate pecan, and peanut butter fudge. They melt in your mouth and are fabulous with a glass of cold milk on the side. The mint melt aways and chocolate turtles are also delicious.

A word to the wise where the dry comment was mentioned. As soon as you get the fudge home put it in a zip lock bag and let as much air out as possible. Keep it wrapped in the paper you're given. This keeps it moist for up to a week while you enjoy it.

I'll keep coming back for Heavenly Fudge year after year. The Fudge Shop down the street ain't got nothing on it. The customer service is great and they are always willing to let you sample. This small family business is a one in a million find.“

“Family owned diner with good food. We have eaten there for years. My kind of pkace“

“We stopped in for lunch and very much enjoyed our sandwiches. The Philly cheese steak and BBQ chicken sandwich (which was more like a panini) were delicious and we highly recommend them! We also enjoyed the “white trash” snack mix we took home for a treat to enjoy later. We will definitely stop by again when we are in town.“

“Excellent way to start your casino day. Good selection of menu items to choose from, breakfast buffet is a nice alternative. We are always seated quickly with our reservations, the service, as usual, was excellent. Highly recommend all to visit and enjoy.“

“Sugar bears has the best ice cream and espresso. The owners are so kind and wonderful people! A must stop during your visit in Cherokee.“

“I swear I think that was the BEST cup of coffee I've ever had!!! It was rich and smooth! I can't wait to go back to Cherokee, so I go by there to get a cup of coffee.☕️💜“

“We had a 6 PM reservation that we were early to and were asked to wait as there were still some 5:45 PM people that hadn't checked in yet. We got a drink at the bar and were shortly seated. The bartender was also our server... Zach. Super nice and accommodating. We both ordered the lobster bisque, which was very tasty and we were sharing the fish and chips platter. Unfortunately, our first fish plate came out a bit cold in the middle, but Zach was more than eager to make it right. Within minutes, we had a fresh hot piece of fish and a great meal! Would go back and also recommend to others.“
