Our Story

Rooted in the Heart
of the Smokies

Joe Merchant's Coffee and Provisions began with a simple conviction: that the best experiences are the ones shared over a genuinely good cup of coffee and food made with care. Located on the bustling Parkway in Gatlinburg, we've become a gathering place for locals and visitors alike — a moment of warmth and hospitality amid the mountain rush.

Every morning, our kitchen is active before the doors open. Our bakers shape each loaf, fold each pastry, and brew each batch with the same attention they'd give a family recipe. We source our coffee beans from roasters who share our commitment to quality, and our provisions shelf is stocked with items we'd be proud to keep in our own pantry.

Small-Batch Coffee

Roasted in partnership with regional micro-roasters who prioritize sustainability and traceability.

Baked From Scratch

Every croissant, scone, and loaf is made in-house each morning using traditional techniques.

Curated Provisions

A carefully selected shelf of pantry staples, gourmet goods, and mountain finds you won't find elsewhere.
