Cozy natural grocery & cafe - Edit
I loved this place. They have lots of vegan and natural grocery and household items as well as the small cafe. I got the lentil burger with a side of pasta salad, it was very fresh!

Amazing - Edit
I bought the lentil burger with a side of potato salad. Absolutely delicious. There are tons of other vegan products you can buy in the store. Best place in Gatlinburg to eat or if you need any vegan products.

Great Vegan Options! - Edit
The burger wrap was great. Very tasty. Very fresh. Don't expect a "burger" in the carnivore sense and go with the wrap to contain.

Carry out only when we went - Edit
Lentil burger salad was good and fresh, and all their dressing options are vegan except for ranch. We had the green goddess dressing, which was good. Unfortunately, we had walked a ways in the heat to get there and had been looking forward to sitting in AC for lunch, but no one is allowed to eat inside the grocery’s side room that serves as their cafe right now, evidently, so we ate outside. Fortunately there was an outdoor table nearby. Note they are also out of juice on the menu. So if you’d like indoor seating or juice, it’d be best to call ahead and make sure that’s available when you visit.

Vegan haven! - Edit
They didn't have much vegan options but the lentil burger was pretty good and the pasta salad was yummy. The iced coffee was awesome with many plant milk options. Very reasonably price. It is connected to a store with a ton of vegan products. The prices are very high at the market part but it is understandable being that this place in gatlinburg. This being in gatlinburg is definitely a heaven-send. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Tasty and fresh! - Edit
A relief in this area where it’s so hard to find veggie food. Lentil burgers are good but more like lentil spread (they’re soft). Got snacks and drinks from the attached market. Could use a wider selection of lunch items but still happy to have it!

Perfect lunch stop - Edit
Whole Earth Cafe was the perfect place to grab lunch after a long hike in GSMNP! The humus veggie wrap and sides were great. Grabbed a drink and vegan cookie in the attached market - they also had plenty of vegan staples like beyond burgers and brats, vegan cheese and more! A nice healthy alternative!

In a town that’s full of non veg options, this is such a cute cafe and store! I would suggest the lentil burger wrap with potato salad as your side.

Yummy Vegan Options - Edit
Quaint, small grocery store with cafe attached. Lots of good vegan finds as well as everyday staples. Cafe menu is clearly labeled Vegan and GF. We ordered the lentil burger on a wrap and vegan potato salad. Both were very flavorful, fresh, and fairly priced. Right off the main parkway just before you get into all the hoards of people in Gatlinburg. Perfect location. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend for anyone looking to order something V or GF without hassle. They take credit card and cash.

Vegan food is 5 stars - Edit
The food was phenomenal and made quickly. Solid vegan sides as well. There is a winery only a couple hundred feet up the hill for after your meal. Or before ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Average quality, small venue, fair price - Edit
The lentil burger sandwich on gluten-free bread was good. I think they could make it more tasty with additional herbs. My daughter had the Lentil Burger salad and the vinaigrette really enhanced the taste of the lentil; maybe that’s a suggestion for the sandwich. Unfortunately the dining area was still closed due to COVID. We ordered our lunch to go and found an outdoor table next door. Server was friendly and fast.
