A Family-Owned Café Rooted in Community
Caffeine & Chaos in Waynesville, NC, is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a place where families, friends, and neighbors come together to enjoy good food, great drinks, and a lively atmosphere. What began as a small ice cream shop has grown into a vibrant café that now offers handcrafted coffee, premium ice cream, and a safe indoor playground for kids.
Our story is rooted in community. We wanted to create a space that reflects the energy and personalities of the families who visit us every day. Over time, we expanded from serving scoops of ice cream to brewing specialty lattes and finally to building an indoor playground where children can play while parents relax. Today, Caffeine & Chaos is a one-of-a-kind destination that blends flavor, fun, and family connection.
