Espresso Yourself

espresso is the whole point here. not a footnote on a menu full of blended drinks and syrups, but the actual focus. pigeon forge runs on tourist energy and quick stops, which makes a place on old mill st that takes its espresso seriously more useful than it might sound. if you're moving through the smokies and need something that actually wakes you up rather than just tastes sweet, this is where to stop. the old mill area has enough foot traffic that a bad café could coast on location alone, but espresso yourself has built a local reputation that suggests the opposite is happening. pull an espresso before you hit the parkway crowds.
