Been coming here for years since the earlies! Josiah has done wonders with the place and very consistent. Smokey Mountain Bakers family recommended this place a long time ago, and it doesn't disappoint.

Also, I want to give Gabby or is it Gabbie?! An awesome shout out! She was super sweet, and had great conversation with her!

Always a local favortie of mine that I am reluctant to share for the fear that they will get too popular! The coffee is good, I recommend getting the pour over if you have time. The donuts are too die for, the kids absolutely love the Bavarian Cream ones. A favorite trick of mine is to quickly dip the cinnamon sugar cake ones into your coffee it's a bit of heaven on earth.

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.

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.
