“as of recently(4/12) they must have gotten a new kitchen manager or chef. The food is phenomenal lately. Everything tastes so fresh. Definitely recommend trying it out again. It seems like they are putting in way more effort than when they first opened up.Favorite items:- The Vicious- Side of potatoes- Strawberry jam“
“Excellent service with friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Relaxing peaceful and fun environment with a welcoming community. Fabulous kava and kratom! Best tasting out of all the kava bars I've been to. Affordable prices and high quality! I love the weekly events, trivia and open mic are my favorites. Great place to express yourself openly and to socialize.“
“I am so excited that this restaurant opened, it is my new favorite takeout in town. Their $5 gyro special 3-5pm during the week is wonderful. My go to is sharing the $30 sampler platter. You get spanakopita, dolmas, chicken and pork gyro meat, pita, falafel, hummus, tzatziki, orzo salad, potato salad, leafy greens salad. Just cannot recommend it enough, it's all really good.“
“I have always gone to Starbucks until I realized one day how greedy they are and how badly they treat the homeless. I took a chance and stopped by 7 Brew and couldn’t believe not only how sweet the girl names Jess was, but the coffee is better than Starbucks. You guys are AMAZING.“
“I adore Hatchet! Such a cute spot and the drinks are always great. I always stop by when I'm in town to try new flavors. I have enjoyed their matcha in the past and recently really liked their honey bee latte. Would recommend the avocado toast, very flavorful and they do not skimp on the avocado. The people there are always super nice and provide good recommendations. They also have a lot of spacious seating and cute merch, as well as products from other small businesses. Definitely worth a visit!“
“Everything about this place is wonderful! It's beautiful inside and outside. The coffee is so stinkin' good! The glazed donut was better than any I've ever had and my British husband said their cheddar and herb biscuit finally tastes like the scones he remembers. I wish we lived closer because we'd be here all the time.“
“My husband and I were in town for a weekend getaway in Boone and decided to stop by blue deer for a sweet treat. We both got the double chocolate chip cookie sandwiches but with different ice creams. My husband got the coffee ice cream and I got the peppermint ice cream. Loved the cookie sandwich! Peppermint ice cream is so hard to get right especially since it can taste like toothpaste but blue deer got it right - sweet, tasty, and perfect texture. I loved it so much that I came back the next day to get the exact same thing.The two girls working were very nice and helpful. Samples of ice cream are also offered to help narrow down your options.“
“I ordered an 8oz Cappuccino with lots of froth, reg milk for in-house and they delivered! The froth was stiff and perfect, the coffee itself was bitter but sweet(?) Good though, a satisfying type of bitter/sweet. I loved it.I then ordered their seasonal Chai Cider w/ Oat Milk and it was SO GOOD!! The baristas strutted their stuff with this gem! The oat milk had such a creamy froth I thought it was regular milk for a sec!Once you get inside it’s wonderful, though the parking is…limited. I got lucky but there are only 4(?) designated spots and with seemingly strict towing for the surround business. I recommend parking elsewhere and walking, highly worth it in my opinion!I would have taken pictures but I drank them too fast ?“
“Wonderful staff, great location, nice shop with premium espresso machines.Wife's latte was perfect, best either of us have had in ages.The "Trooper Smoothie" - on the other hand was really, really bad.For $6+ I'd naively assumed it would contain actual bananas. Instead, it's a (sickeningly-sweet) banana-flavored goo from a jug mixed with peter-pan peanut butter, a dairy-based protein powder and ice. Gave it a chance since, sometimes, however unhealthy flavored goos may be - they are occasionally delicious. Mmmm... forbidden goo...Nope. I poured it in the gutter a few steps down the road, just awful tasting.We'll stick to coffee next time - which again, was superb and truly a rare find.“
“Always a joy stepping into Higher Grounds when we're in the area because we always know that whatever the drink of choice is that day, it will be delightful. What drives it home for me is the wall of beans you can bag and take as that gets me by for a few weeks while I miss that mountain air. There are only a few tables inside from r seating though so it best to grab and go.“
“I caught the sunrise at the parkway and typed best coffee near me and this place had the highest reviews. I got a hot coffee blueberry and vanilla latte and it had the heart design on it for me lol...most importantly, they allowed my Husky, Meekah into the shop to sniff around and be sporadic. Wonderful vibes and great coffee. Highly recommended!!“
