Fuel Your Adventure. Stay for the Experience.
Every Burgess Falls adventure starts and ends at Sway Café & Bar. Grab a fresh cup of coffee and a breakfast burrito before hitting the water, then celebrate your adventure afterward with a cold beer. Whether you're swapping stories around the fire pit or unwinding in the hammock zone, there's no better place to enjoy Tennessee's natural beauty.
Your Basecamp for Burgess Falls
Whether you're fueling up before launching onto the water or celebrating an unforgettable day at Burgess Falls, Sway Café & Bar was designed to be part of the experience. Grab breakfast, sip locally roasted coffee, enjoy a cold drink with friends, and stay awhile in one of our outdoor gathering spaces.
Breakfast Burritos
Start your adventure with breakfast burritos, muffins, PB&J's, coffee and other grab-and-go favorites before heading to the falls.
Coffee, Cold Drinks & Fro-Yo
Enjoy fresh drip coffee in the morning or cool off after your paddle with refreshing beverages, beer, Fro-yo and other seasonal favorites.
Outdoor Gathering Spaces
Relax around the fire pit, enjoy shaded seating, or unwind with friends in hammocks while taking in the scenery.
Adventure Starts Here
Sway Café is located at the Cumberland Kayak & Adventure Company basecamp, making it the perfect place to begin and end your Burgess Falls experience.
Relax in the Hammock Zone
Adventure doesn't have to end when you get off the water. Stretch out beneath the trees in one of our hammock zones, enjoy a cold drink, catch up with friends, or simply soak in the peaceful surroundings before heading home. Whether you're visiting for kayaking, hiking, or just great coffee or cold beer, we invite you to slow down and stay awhile.
