We stopped here while on vacation. Friendliest staff and the coffee was so smooth. Our plans for the day were cancelled due to the weather and we got to hang out here and play board games as a family! Great vacation detour!

I have never left a review ever for any business but had to for this. Today my family stopped here for cappuccino, iced latte, and hot latte. My daughter got her iced caramel latte first and said it was not good. She actually made a face when she drank it, it was so bad. I got my cappuccino next and also found it undrinkable. It tasted bitter and burnt. My son’s hot latte was the same. When we told the barista our drinks were not drinkable she said there was nothing she could do and could not give us a refund. We threw them away and went to 7 Brew and got really good drinks.

Excellent coffee and service. As soon as you walk through the door, the amazing aroma of coffee always makes the day so much better.

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.

Delicious coffee, and prompt, friendly service. Wide selection of drink options. Some limited selection of edibles. Can purchase many varieties of whole bean coffee to take home.
Went here twice while visiting Boone. As soon as you step inside you smell their fresh coffee beans and they smell amazing. My latte was delicious and they have lots of flavors to choose from.

Purchased an apple pie chai with oatmilk and it was one of the most delicious drinks I've ever tasted in my life. Huge selection of beans for purchase. Reasonable prices. Only thing that would make this shop better is to have a couple chessboards available for folks to play.

The coffee was not great. We got oatmilk latte and oatmilk mocha and it was undrinkable. The espresso tasted burnt and chocolate tasted like ovaltine.The 2 star is because despite the coffee being awful, the batista were really nice.
