The barista was very nice and attentive to timely service.He Let us know that it's was going to take a little while before we got our drinks, which we appreciated. I loved the local crafts for sale in the shop and the hamemade pastries were delicious! They made us feel very special. I loved the decor and art in the shop. What a great place to chill out!!

It was my first time back to this coffee shop since it was transformed into First Chair Coffee — and I absolutely loved it! The two girls behind the counter were incredibly helpful and friendly, guiding me to the perfect drink. They answered all my questions with a smile and made the experience feel so welcoming. The coffee quality was outstanding, the music perfectly matched my taste, and the vibrant artwork added so much character to the space. I’ll definitely be back — a 10/10 experience all around!

First Chair is a gem in our Beech Mountain community. They offer coffee, (better than any Starbucks) bagels and other baked goods. Their customer service is outstanding! Service is friendly, kind, accurate and timely. First Chair offers cozy and comfortable indoor seating as well as a large covered outdoor deck to enjoy the beautiful mountain air. Special shout out to Barista Kristen- always greets us with a smile and knows our coffee preferences! If you’ve not been there yet, you need to try it!

This was a great spot for some quality coffee and nice, outdoor seating. The barista was very nice and let us try one of her creations she was trialing, a blackberry muffin concoction. She also gave us several places to check out in Boone! Definitely check it out if you're in the area and want some coffee!

Great coffee & lunch spot!
I was happy to find this coffee place right under the mountain. You can purchase caffeine drinks, scones, cold brew, and pastries. The baristas are great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. My kids loved this place, especially since they offer sugar-free drinks. We went there for brunch and later returned for lunch. It was still day light when we left, I wish we can stay longer. The only thing I would suggest adding is hand lotion in the women’s bathroom. It’s very friendly place!
They run specials and have very yummy croissants. I love this coffee shop way more than Starbucks! The coffee is much tastier and of better quality. Thank you!

My go to spot on Beech when I need caffeine. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming, the music is great, and the coffee is always excellent! The cold brew will keep you energized all day! Beech has needed a consistent year round coffee shop for years and I love that I can go spend an hour reading or letting my daughter draw all while enjoying a great drink! Don’t miss it! As always, be nice to the baristas.

Only coffee shop on the mountain it seems. Pretty mediocre, slow service from children who aren’t happy you walked in. Employees had nothing prepped so coffee for 4 people took 20 min. No hot sleeve with a cup so hot you could drop it. Lawsuit waiting to happen.
They don’t accept cash either.
Overall, inconvenient, lack of care and not a great product. Not worth your time and money.

Went with my family to First Chair over holidays. The Coffee and food were affordable and delicious and the location was convenient (near the entry to Beech Mountain resort). We were able to have our entire group sit in the cozy dining room to the right of the counter. The staff was friendly and kind. Go to the First Chair if you want a coffee or treat on Beech Mountain.
This is a good place to eat and have a coffee compared to some other shady options on Beech Mountain (e.g., White Wolf Lodge/Holy Smokes). The WWL/HS had pricey food that was poor fare and the management made errors by losing receipts for rentals and then made harassing phone calls to our group. They then refused to admit when we complained. Trisha at White Wolf/Holy Smokes fakes online reviews (but got caught and humiliated) so that joint is shady and you should stay away. I recommend getting your coffee and treats at First Chair instead. Good vibes at First Chair!
Have a coffee, treat and bread at the First Chair (or
Fred's for barbeque). They are friendly, affordable, convenient, and tasty.

The best coffee by far in Beech Mountain and honestly, some of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted! Their syrups are delicious and their bites are also delicious.
The staff is incredibly friendly and my wife and I will definitely be back when we visit Beech Mountain!

They have recently begun adding better food to their menu. The ham and cheese panini was good! The drop coffee has improved as well (less bitter).
