Came here to get breakfast and a sign on the door said “closed for Good Friday” but today is Saturday. It says they are open on the web. Very disappointed because the reviews say this place is amazing. Maybe next time we’re up here…

We were looking for an easy breakfast on our last day down here and this was definitely a diamond in the rough. I am so glad that we stumbled upon this little cafe. The staff was so kind and the food was amazing. We both got bagel sandwiches and we’ve never had a bagel so soft yet still had a crunch. The banana pudding was an added sweet treat and it was worth it. I definitely recommend this place and will be back the next time we’re down here

Food was great! I got the bagel sandwich and I will say the bagel was a little soggy, but I finished the whole thing and enjoyed every bite of it! My partner got Oreo pancakes and it was delicious (I had my fair share). This is a small business and we got the meet the owner. He was very nice and so was our waitress. would definitely recommended eating here for breakfast!

If I could give 10 stars I would. On vacation from Arkansas and stumbled on this amazing cafe. We were drawn by the reviews and the prices. We love places that don't hammer you on the kids meal prices. I had the pulled pork burger and it was amazing. My wife and daughters had the breakfast and I finished off their pancakes. I haven't stopped thinking about them the whole trip. Big and fluffy and amazing! They made my 3 girls feel special and we're so very thoughtful and kind. Christian music playing and Christian decor made it the perfect experience. Thank you all!

just an fyi , if you have a semi large group you will be denied service due to taking too much time i suppose. we had a group of 9 and were denied to sit. so if you have a large group i wouldn’t waste your time in coming here.

Worth to explore, small and cozy place with welcoming personalities of the owners and staff. Food is old fashioned with quality and freshness with each ingredient. Small gem worth exploring but make sure to arrive early to get a sit at this little small place with big hearts at little black bear cafe!!!

This was the BEST little cafe for breakfast! Great home cooked food and the friendliest staff! All of our food was delicious but the pancakes and French toast were amazing. very reasonably priced also. We will definitely be back next time we visit Pigeon Forge!

The second my wife and I walked in we knew we would love this place. The atmosphere is fun, the owner is hilarious, and the food is incredible. We didn't even have to wait for a table, but the people that came after us did, and I would absolutely wait 45 minutes to eat here again if I had to. The pancakes are very unique and a must try, we also got the biscuits and gravy, coffee and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich - all were great. The food isn't expensive either and the portions are large, one of the best values I've seen, and it's in Gatlinburg! This place redeemed our trip to Gatlinburg after a really bad restaurant experience the night before. Please try it!

Best pancakes I have ever had and the owner was wonderful. My friend had the hillbilly grit bowl and it was also wonderful. I highly recommend this place.

We just hopped in to have a quick lunch. The food was delicious. The service wonderful and the environment very sweet. We love finding local small businesses to support when we travel and will definitely be back! I'd love to try the breakfast sometime!
