18 Best Coffee Shops in Boone

“OMG!!!!!SUPER YUMMY!!!Relaxed atmosphere exceptional food and coffee.“

“I can’t say enough about this coffee place. They have delicious gluten free options. The coffee is fresh and flavorful. The best part though is the staff. Everyone was super sweet and very helpful. Will definitely add this to my list to always visit when we’re in the area.“

“Hatchet Coffee has a way of feeling instantly familiar, even if you’re not sure you’ve been before. On our second trip to Boone, we pulled up to the café and were struck by that déjà vu sense of comfort an immediate excitement that confirmed we’d found one of the High Country’s true gems. This was our second visit, and once again Hatchet proved itself to be among the best coffee purveyors in the region. The line was long, but the anticipation only added to the ritual; after all, we had a 45-minute drive ahead to Grandfather Mountain, and good coffee was non-negotiable. At the counter, the staff embodied the kind of hospitality that makes a place unforgettable. The cashier was warm and attentive, quick to ask questions when she didn’t have an answer, and genuinely excited to help. I had come to swap ground beans for whole, and while the exchange wasn’t possible, they graciously sent me home with a bag of Brazilian beans instead a gesture that spoke volumes about their passion and care. Despite the bustle, the wait was brief, and the atmosphere remained convivial. One of the baristas even struck up a conversation with me about my jacket, a small but meaningful interaction that elevated the experience beyond the cup. Hatchet Coffee is more than a café it’s a community hub, a place where quality and connection meet. With its exceptional brews, thoughtful staff, and welcoming spirit, it’s the kind of spot you’ll find yourself returning to again and again.“

“Me and my husband came for the first time yesterday . The coffee is very good !“

“My son was screaming while I was ordering, the young girl taking my order ran to go grab him the milk I ordered and waited for me to pour it in his sippy and took the cup back to throw away. She obviously did not have to do any of that and I am so grateful she did because the line was long and it allowed me to wait in line without a screaming baby. Every time I’ve gone to the Wichita Falls location I’ve always had above and beyond customer service.“

“Been going to Higher Grounds for 5 years or better and never thought to leave a review. What can I say, I love the place! Matt & Gloria are the best of people. Not your run of the mill by any means and are both just the kind of people that make anywhere their at, a great place ! I roast a different blend of theirs each morning at home and when I have time off, I stop in for a ice vanilla latte ( light ice, lol) and they have it ready and waiting by the time I get to the counter ! Where else can you go and get that kind of personalized service!? Anyways, the last local review I made was unfortunately horrible experience and I'm glad there's places like Matt and Gloria's for when I need to kick it into high gear or decompress from a busy week. Worth every penny !“

“Best Greek option in Boone by a mile - been eating here for years. Consistently good and they have upped their pastry/dessert game recently.“

“Visited on a busy Saturday morning. Very professional staff and amazing coffee. The environment was just as amazing as well. Really enjoyed the experience, we will be back!“

“Excellent coffee and the staff is awesome! Kylie knows how to make the perfect coffee and brightens your day!!“

“Food was incredible, lots of options, tasted great“

“I love Noble Kava. I go pretty regularly on Friday nights and enjoy seeing Caleb's smiling face behind the bar because i know we'll converse about something. He is friendly and welcoming to everyone. The whole vibe is chill and easy.“

“Our whole family enjoyed being in this stunning store. We purchased 6 prints and can’t wait to get them hung in our new home!!“

“The food here is so good, and the people are so sweet 😊“

“I love going to Betty’s Biscuits! It has become one of my favorite places to go while in downtown Boone. The service has always been fabulous, I love the vibe, and the food is delicious. A great spot to meet up with friends or bring the family for a memorable outing! 💛“

“I usually don’t write reviews because…oh, well…time, life…but for Local Lion coffee shop I want to do it because it’s one of the places that truly deserves all the praises. Me and my family are not doughnut fans by any means, we eat a doughnut maybe once a year. We are coffee lovers though (me and my husband, not the kids, lol). However, I got a craving of a doughnut and decided to look for a place that has doughnuts, while being in vacation (we live in Charlotte but we were visiting Blowing Rock/Boone area recently) and found Local Lion on the map. I am so glad I did! The coffee was good, we also bought some custom tea blends from them that are exquisite and the doughnuts were excellent. Something so delicious…I will be dreaming of them for a while and I will definitely go back. Plus the kindness of the people working there…everything makes that place worth checking it out. They didn’t sponsored me or nothing, it’s just a happy customer review.“

“We've been customers for years and love all their cookies and desserts. Can't go wrong with the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich.

Staff is friendly and kind.

They have an upstairs as well and free parking.“

“There's a reason everyone goes here. It's an excellent coffee shop and a great hangout. Also perfect for studying. There's enough ambiance for both. Coffee/study date? You got it. Need to relax? It's an awesome lounge (although I prefer the solarium across the hall). Getting together for a coffee meeting? Everyone at App State, and I mean everyone, will recommend Crossroads. It's also a popular area to write, read, work, and study. Things that could be improved include open hours on weekends, music variety (I get that you're going for a "coffee shop" aesthetic, but there are plenty of kinds of music that can create that. For example, the time you played the Mos Eisley Cantina Theme was a welcome surprise.), more live piano music, and even more menu items like café con leche, horchata, etc.. I'd also like it if you restocked the display cabinet for pastries more than daily since it always seems to run out by mid-afternoon, but I understand that could be a financial issue.“

“Great place to enjoy delicious coffee and relax, talk with family and friends and take in the whole Boone experience! Also, the owner, Conrad, was giving free coffee to people helping during the Helene cleanup! Not a lot of places did that!! Thanks Conrad!!!“
