Bald Guy Brew Blowing Rock

A favorite stop for us in Blowing Rock! BGB has a great vibe. Their coffee products are delicious and well crafted. Customer service is excellent.

While visiting Blowing Rock we stopped in for ☕️. So good we came two more times that weekend.

Great coffee.

The dirty chai latte was delicious and for a great price…. I don’t know about the woman working there who took my order. The moment I walked in I felt judged from head to toe. I watched her scan and stare at me without even saying “welcome!” “Hello!” Or “how you doing this morning?” Instead I initiated everything. I greeted the woman. I asked how she’s doing all the while feeling the awkward pressure that this woman had already judged me 12 ways to Sunday…. I assume she doesn’t get a tall, confident and educated Mexican American visiting the shop that often….. As a 6’2 Brown person existing in this world, I know when I’m being analyzed with prejudice and when I’m being seen with respect. This was one of those instant cases where I felt unseen as human and judged by whatever perversions was in this woman’s mind….. Not cool.

While visiting Blowing Rock, we were looking for a local coffee shop to visit. We ended up going to Bald Guy Brew and we were pleased. The place is very nice inside and everyone was very nice. We went with the Golden Hour Latte and it was good. Definitely would visit again!

Very friendly staff and great prices. The coffee and hot chocolate were delicious. Plenty of seating inside and outside (at least during the off season). Great place to pop in if you're exploring downtown or before you hit the hiking trails.

I’ve been ordering this coffee for over 4 months now and I will never get my coffee beans elsewhere if it can be helped. It is truly some kind of next level roasting operation they’ve got going over there cause this coffee is crack. Yes I said crack, it’s that good!💯☕️

The roasted coffee is the very best I have ever had! This crew has come through Helene with such a mess yet, the service is 150%! Kindness. Gratitude. Blessings of notes written on orders. This is the HEART of America. #belikewncfolks

Great coffee! I love that you can order different grinds depending on how you like to brew.

As a coffee professional, I have high standards for good hospitality and coffee. Visiting Blowing Rock, I happened upon this little cafe and was blown away. The woman who took care of us was incredibly warm and her suggestion to get the maple sage latte was a 10/10! She made it in a cappuccino for me and added whipped cream since I wanted a cozy drink. The espresso was dialed well, the espresso was steamed perfectly and it was overall a memorable experience. Makes me excited to get back to the coffee shop I manage and set higher standards for our hospitality- thank you so much! ☺️

The coffee here was great. They do all their flavors in house which made my latte super delicious. There is a courtyard right outside for sitting.
