Hands down the best black coffee I've had, my wife said her chocolate iced latte was delicious.The lady behind the counter was so sweet and helped us make out decisions. Everything was priced perfect.

Edited to add: yes, I am an ex employee. I loved the staff & my customers. The owner’s treatment is why I left. I love supporting local businesses but only if they treat their staff well. Even my manager wasn’t treated well. Hence why a lot of my regulars also stopped going. Sad because the coffee used to be good.

I got my bestie espresso here and she loved it! The shop was super cute!

We desperately want this fine little coffee shop to make it, but there are a few things we would suggest. One is visiting an upscale coffee shop in Nashville or Memphis and take some tips on coffee preparation in the various modes. Though an Italian cappuccino is quite small, most regional shops including Starbucks offer different sizes. The staff was a bit flustered at the suggestion of a medium. The interior décor is really great. Well furnished. Nice leather big seats and love seats plus side room and attractive steel chairs and tables. Fantastic croissant with strawberries, bananas and chocolate drizzle. But the biggest issue is that there outdoor sign on the building is almost no visible from the highway. If I was trying to make a go of the business which to succeed must draw in customers from outside the area, I would put a lot of money in signage with few elements. It just doesn’t work at all. We will come back but I am hopeful for the cafe’s future that a new sign in the building plus one out on the highway will get addressed soon.

Nice environment, but staff were not so friendly. My girls ordered drinks that weren’t that great. As is standard with most coffee shops we asked for something different or a remake. For something different the response was, “that’s what you ordered, are you buying a different drink?” Ultimately she remade the drinks which were much better. Sorry, we purposely patron privately owned businesses as much as possible but won’t be back to this one.

This coffee shop was not good. The menus were messy, hard to read, and on the ground. The prices on the menus were missing and the prices they did have on the chais were wrong. The barista was not knowledgeable on drinks. She was nice but a little impatient. Prices were the highest I’ve ever seen at a coffee shop. I got a peanut butter cup with oat and an extra shot and my friend got a vanilla latte, it was $15 ! For 2 small coffees! I understand we added different milk and such but I’ve never been anywhere that charged this high. The place was messy and unorganized. The coffee itself wasn’t even good. My friends vanilla latte tasted like peanut butter. When we got our coffee it was scolding hot and we asked for sleeves and we’re told they were out and had to ask to double cup it. -_-Don’t go here. There are many other places around that are way better.

Nice cozy place with delicious coffee. Staff was friendly.

I had been waiting all weekend for some "real" coffee, and I finally found it at Espresso Yourself! We're so used to grinding our own beans and having coffee at home that coffee chains just don't cut it anymore when it comes to quality. Exactly what I needed to start my day while on vacation!

What a quaint and homey coffee shop. Lots of rocking chairs by the windows to unwind and enjoy a cup of coffee.

We came to Pigeon Forge for a family vacation and OMG! The coffee sold here is PHENOMENAL!! The owner/batista/baker is friendly (and even remembered our order on our second visit). This adorable cottage-style coffee shop is walking distance from the Old Mill. Go by and get some delicious fresh-baked treats and sip on the best coffee in town. We will definitely be back on our next trip!!!
