Used to love this place and would often stop by on my way to work. Lately though, the coffees have gotten so much worse. On my last visit, the barista was too busy talking with her coworkers to listen and made the wrong drink entirely. I'd blame it on being busy but I was the only one in line.

Service is apathetic and slow. They don’t seem to care at all. Used to be a favorite. No longer. They never get the grind right on my coffee I buy. I just can’t keep hoping it will get better. Moving on…

Cozy coffee shop. Coffee was pretty good, donuts were ok, nothing write home about. Recommend going earlier on the morning when the donuts are fresh. Otherwise I’d return here for my coffee/lattes.

I've loved Local Lion since 2014 when I moved to the Boone area for school. I always swing by when in the region. Always a good time with delicious donuts and drinks.

Great coffee and doughnuts and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Truly one of the best cups of coffee I’ve had in a long time.

We have begun to buy our fresh coffee from here and it is absolutely delicious.
And they’re fresh donuts every day get us in trouble because they taste so good.
Excellent atmosphere, easy in and out, and great service.

We went in a Saturday morning so it was crowded, but the line moved quickly. Had chai latte, matcha latte and snagged a dozen of the best tasting donuts I've had in a while!!

The worst service ever. The barista was dismissive and that was the worst chai tea I've ever had in my life, 99% steamed milk.

Friendly staff, great coffee. Probably best coffee in Boone. Donuts are excellent, atmosphere is solid. Better than most of the stale old haunts in Boone, this place and its staff actually seem to care rather than just ripping off tourists.

Yum! My family and I came here after visiting Tweetsie. This is a nice place to unwind after a long day. We ordered the Queen Anne's Lace and Bee Balm. Both had a unique flavor and weren't overly sweet. The doughnuts were super fresh too!
