In the August, 2007 issue of Southern Living [1] magazine's Tennessee Living section, there is an article about Capitol Coffee [2] and the owner, Heath Claiborne. The article is not on-line so run out and purchase the current issue.

Capitol Coffee is in the old Capitol Theatre [3] building in downtown Maryville. The building still has the theatre sign. Apparently, you can book the theatre for private functions.

Claiborne is an artist [4] with a coffee shop to support his art.

We've been to Capitol Coffee and enjoyed our visits. We will return. Thanks to Heath and his wife, Benita, for selecting downtown Maryville!
