The Artistic Bean

Very cute coffee shop, great atmosphere! Lattes were outstanding. Will definitely be back whenever we visit the smokies in the future!

I ordered this coffee due to knowing the owner and trusting him. I cannot express how amazing their coffee is. I was a black rifle junkie but that’s been put to the side. This coffee is sunshine in a cup.

Iced Caramel Latte was delish! Very kind gals that waited on me. Recommend this!

Best coffee we’ve ever had! We are in Florida these days and order online regularly!

I had came to the Artistic Bean at around 10:40 AM and the atmosphere was phenomenal. It was quite busy when I arrived but I think the crowd had got knocked out within 10 minutes. The staff was so quick with orders and so respectful at the same time. I didn’t leave till around 3:30 PM. I was busy studying and doing some work and the staff was so great. They didn’t bother me, and they seemed they could care less about me studying. The coffee was absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to go back again. Definitely a must go if you want to get out the house and get some socializing. Or especially if your in school and need a place to study.

I have tried The Artistic Bean a couple of times now. If I was basing it off my first visit i would have probably given it a 3 star rating based on the fact the espresso had a sour back end.
If I was basing the rating just on customer service, I would give it 5 stars without hesitation. As I was waiting for my coffee I had already decided to do that. However, the one star fell off when they filled my cup from the coffee as it brewed instead of waiting for it to finish brewing.
(For those reading this and unaware of why that matters, when the coffee first starts brewing you will have a stronger coffee because the grounds are fresh and the water is extracting more of the coffee. As it brews, the coffee coming from the filter is weaker because a lot of the flavor has already been pulled. However, when is all in the pot, pulled for the whole cycle, it makes the perfect ratio. If you take the coffee when it first starts brewing out, what's in the cup is stronger, but what's left to go in the pot is weaker, affecting the taste for the others getting cups from the pot. The opposite happens when you pull later in the brewing cycle, leaving weak coffee in the cup and strong in the pot.)
However, friendly staff and great single origin roasts.

Cute coffee shop to visit in you’re out in the Townsend area! So happy we got to try the coffee served here ! Kind staff too.

Been sitting here enjoying my coffee and the atmosphere. They open at 8 and today they have been non-stop. With 2 girls working they really rocked. Coffee and food orders were right, they were friendly and personably with each and everyone customer. If you haven't given them a visit, you are missing out.

Staff is all super friendly and helpful and espresso is high quality and delicious. I also love a coffee shop with plenty of milk options. Best coffee I've had in Tennessee.

The vibe is alright. But unfortunately the coffee was pretty poor.
