Junaluska Gifts & Grounds — Restaurant in North Carolina

pretty good shop, actually. i liked the atmosphere, and its very nice and clean, but i do have a few gripes.

like most tourist shops, its a bit expensive for the common joe. i found something cheap as a mother's day gift for my mom, but it was small. most the stuff was unique and pretty, so i could see why the cost was higher, but i still wish there were cheaper options.

my main problem was the coffee. I ordered the chocolate chip blended mocha, drank it outside, and was very sick 30 minutes later. it could have been a number of factors that made me sick, but i think it was the coffee. i do not reccomend it.

for tourists visiting the area, this makes a good shop to purchase memorable items, sodas, and ice cream. for residents, it's a bit overpriced but deserves an occasional visit. i would come back. just not getting the coffee...

Lake Junaluska is a place that my family owned a home for 50 years. We only visit there now from oit of state. But going to Gifts and Grounds is always a very pleasant place to get a cup of good coffee and pick up a few gifts. I especially appreciate the Lake Junaluska themed gifts like coffee mugs and sweatshirtd with the logo. For our family with our intergenerational history with the Methodist Church, we hope that the conference grounds will always have a Christ centered, Gospel centered spirituality. The Gifts and Grounds Shop carries that spirit in the music and personnel...

So glad we found this place while we were staying at the Lambuth Inn. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The gift shop was really neat and had many things to browse and buy. Bringing your coffee on the back patio in a rocking chair overlooking the lake is heaven. The only suggestion I have and this is totally a personal taste is please let your staff make the lattes with half and half and offer different sizes for the lattes. Even if there is an up charge for the half and half it makes for a smooth , richer experience. In my humble opinion. We will...
