I was super excited to try to place due to the reviews. Upon entry it has a cute and cozy feel but it’s definitely very small inside. It was clean. They are definitely not ready for the crowds because there was a very long line just to order. Then from there it got worse because the lady that was taking the orders Could not speak English very well and it was taking a ridiculous amount of time to be able to place the most simple orders. Then I do not like places to have a policy that states that if you order something, you can’t make a change and it has some other really restrictive policies, which is typical of a very small Business. But to me if people order something and they don’t like it, they should be able to exchange it or return it. After we finally ordered it took a long time just to get the food as well and it came out in waves instead of all together. The biscoff hot latte was very good, but they made mine the wrong size. It had taken so long to get it that I didn’t even go back up there to complain . The omelette was OK …. nothing special and very small. They serve it with a pitiful little salad that they could have just kept. The peach smoothie was very good. My son absolutely loved the Oreo Frappuccino. The bacon and cheese toast sandwich was good. We also liked the avocado toast. Again, because of the very small space people were bumping us as we were sitting at the table and it just made for an uncomfortable environment. While the food was pretty good, this is not somewhere that I will return until they can improve the speeds of ordering and...
Read moreThe focus of this review is not on the food or service quality at Cuppa Gatlin Cafe, but rather on the delivery and ordering service utilized by the cafe. In this particular instance, Uber Eats was chosen for a breakfast order totaling $130 intended for a future date. However, there was a lack of specified delivery time or date during the ordering process, leading to confusion. Upon realizing this issue within 30 seconds of placing the order, an attempt to cancel was made. Unfortunately, Uber Eats had already begun processing the order and subsequently charged a cancellation fee amounting to $98 on the credit card.
This negative experience with Uber Eats has led to hesitation in recommending their services for future orders from Cuppa Gatlin Cafe. The absence of clear communication regarding delivery details combined with an immediate charge for cancelling prior to any actual delivery highlights significant shortcomings in their system. As a result, until Cuppa Gatlin Cafe transitions to a different delivery provider that offers more transparent and user-friendly processes, it is difficult to endorse utilizing their current services.
It is essential for customers seeking seamless and reliable food delivery experiences to be able to trust that their orders will be handled efficiently and accurately. By addressing these issues and potentially exploring alternative delivery options such as DoorDash which provides clearer scheduling features within their app, Cuppa Gatlin Cafe may enhance overall customer satisfaction levels...
Read moreA total gem in Gatlinburg. I’m so happy they are here, outstanding experience! I will continue to come to this little coffee shop every time I visit the area. We went out of our norm (Crocketts) and i’m so glad we did. It was a breath of fresh air. For drinks we had the Appalachian Oat Mocha and Almond Berry Bliss Mocha. Along with the bacon egg croissant, bacon egg benedict, and bliss french toast. We also got the cinnamon crunch muffin to go for the road. Owner was sweet that took our order. Drinks were made prompt. I enjoyed the diversity in flavors and accommodations. Food was light but every bite was flavorful and left my palate craving more. Muffin was the best i’ve ever had and super moist. I was impressed this little shop could produce such tasteful beautiful looking dishes. I was also appreciative for the high chair for our 8 month old. We always go to breakfast later- it wasn’t busy at 11 am on a week day. I can see if you were to come in during the rush/peak it might be tight especially with a baby. We just left town and I’m still in awe of this place and can’t wait to plan my next visit here for my next...
