Panacea CoffeeHouse, Cafe and Roastery

Such a cute place! There's lots of seating, both indoor and outdoor. The coffee is amazing with lots of different options available. They also have a relatively big menu to choose from. Fun place to relax or do homework!

They have a lovely selection of coffees that are roasted in house. They have a large menu for sandwiches throughout the day, as well as wine AND mimosas! A beautiful courtyard just a few steps from the register, with a patio and seats next to the river, which makes quite the serene time (coffee AND nature).

I love the coffee here. I also like that they serve a few food items. The location is in a strange area but, it's a great location just because the back yard that it has behind it. Its beautiful and peaceful! The owner really picked a great place to have his coffee shop!

One of my favorite places in this area. It was a cool day but the coffee shop was warm and sunny. My bagel, from a local bakery, was toasted perfectly and came with ample cream cheese. As always, the coffee is fantastic!

Great space, great coffee choices! I love sitting by the window watching the river rush by and getting some love from the friendly black cat outside. There's huge menus on the wall and a coffee roasting station up front. Cool place!

My friend and I wandered in on the way the way from Asheville to the Smokey Mountains without knowing what it would be like inside. As soon as we walked in we got so excited we went back to the car for our books and stayed for several hours. It's the most spacious coffee shop I've ever been to in my life, and even if it was cut in half it would be bigger than most. It has incredibly comfortable chairs and many large tables to accommodate groups of all sizes. The baristas are very sweet and my Tarzan and Jane salad was huge and very good! It only got better when we walked outside and saw the picnic benches by the river. It was a delightful surprise!!

Super place with friendly staff. Good food. There is seating out back by the creek. Excellent fresh ground coffee. I'll go back and get some and make it for my wife. She likes good coffee.

Only got to experience this place for about 15 minutes before they closed, but it was so nice. I have experienced many-a-coffee-shop being from the Northwest. Sat in the chairs facing the creek enjoying my white chocolate rasberry scone (so good and moist, not dry even after an entire day) and my lavender black tea vanilla latte. I rate these menu items a TBO (taste bud orgasm). Plenty of seating and nice ambience. Thank you!

One of my favorite places in Waynesville. Great coffee, good food, friendly waitstaff.
Only thing to beware of is some of the mismatched chairs, which do fit the industrial decor, are downright uncomfortable and not sturdy-looking. I choose my chair carefully.

My second time here. I actually tried to brewery next door. The beer was okay. I think the coffee shop does a better job at making espresso than the brewery does at crafting beer. Really nice outdoor space next to the river though. Definitely worth a visit.
