Espresso News

"By far the best coffee shop of NC, quite possibly the best on the east coast. I've been to a lot of places and this one for over 18 years has only gotten better and yet the coffee tastes exactly the same as the first time. Amazing people, atmosphere , and a hub for all things culture in Boone. I will drive 45 minutes from the trail head, past so many starbucks and smaller coffee establishments, all for espresso news. Oh yeah. Try the muffins ..."

"Coffee was good, but the vibe was a bit off and I left feeling very weird. Husband and I ordered two coffees while we were waiting for a table at a local breakfast place. We sat down to sip on our coffee for a few minutes as it was cold and rainy outside. One of the workers approached the other two 2 tables very close to us to ask them if they wanted complimentary cookies that weren’t approved to sell (loud enough for us to hear) and never asked us if we’d like any. It made me feel very odd that they wouldn’t have just asked everyone in the cafe."

"Stopped in to grab some coffee before hiking. It's slightly tricky to find because it's tucked back into an alcove off the street. Cool little place with an earthy vibe. It was busy when we went. The staff was very friendly. The only reason I give it a 4 was that the lattes we got didn't have much in the way of flavor. I really wanted to like it, but they were just okay. I did purchase some of their beans. I hope they will be better."

"Excellent white chocolate mocha, mocha and a drip coffee. All were great, only to be out done by the best ever banana bread. Great, friendly efficient service. Nice atmosphere. Finding the place. and parking con be challenging."
