Rivertime Outdoors/It's Not The Coffee

Our group had a fantastic day! It was so peaceful and refreshing. We enjoyed their grills, fire pit, tables and beaches. The ownership was extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms were clean and maintained. Thinking this will be a tradition for our families to come and enjoy fellowship together! Great feedback from our whole group. Extremely happy for what we received at very fair price!

Great place. She roasts her own coffee. Local person makes organic chess and fudge brownies. Yum! Places can be rented for the day for $20 with picnic table. Easy access to slow river. When we were there people had chairs in the river and had brought a Weber grill and tubes to float.

This is an absolute Gem! I am a coffee nut. During our weekend in the Smoky Mountains, we stopped at It's Not Coffee because of the reviews. I was not expecting much, but Sabrina, the friendly owner and barista, proved me wrong. She knows her craft: she roasts her coffee herself and uses a LaPavoni manual lever espresso machine. The 2 shots of espresso that she brewed for me were absolutely delicious. This is what skills and great coffee beans can do. My family enjoyed their iced latte as well. This is the level of some of the best specialty coffee shops I visited across the country. This one happens to be in a beautiful mountain setting. Do yourself a favor and check this wonderful coffee shop if you drive by Townsend.

Chuck is great. We had a wind down picnic before leaving town. Beautiful spot,water was cool and refreshing

What a great little spot! The owners are incredibly nice and welcoming, which really makes the experience stand out. It’s a super photogenic place—perfect for snapping a few pictures while you’re there. They also had some really cool event gear for sale, which was a nice surprise. Overall, just a fun, friendly place to stop in and enjoy.
