The Artistic Bean
Townsend · Townsend, United States
Why it’s on the route
The Artistic Bean is Jeremy Doss's coffee shop in Townsend, on the quiet side of the Great Smoky Mountains, where coffee is roasted on site and small-batch organic beans are sold to take home. Doss puts as much weight on latte art as on brewing, and the shop has since added a second location in Maryville.
