coffee boba energy
Coffee, boba, energy drinks, dirty sodas and smoothies in one hidden corner of Baskin Square, right on the Parkway.
Gatlinbrews calls itself Gatlinburg's one stop drink shop, and the counter backs it up: espresso, boba milk teas, fruit teas with popping boba, frappes, energy drinks, smoothies, lemonades and dirty sodas, with macarons and homemade brownies on the side.
You'll find it at 631 Parkway, in the Baskin Square outdoor shopping center. Reviewers call it a hidden-gem find, tucked away in the corner just steps off the busiest strip in the Smokies.
Their own Facebook page puts the craft this way: “dedicated to feeling the flow of every espresso drop as it fills the cup.”
