Since we are full time RV’ers and lover of donuts, we search for donuts wherever our travels take us. While this was our first time here, NC is at the top of the donuts ladder! Not a huge selection, but there are options for everyone. The cake donuts could have been a tiny more fresh but the flavor was on point. Vanilla Pistachio latte was good. Will definitely return.

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.

This is a cute coffee shop with excellent customer service. The lattes and espresso are great, and the kids love the donuts.

Great coffee and local roasted beans. We brought back several bags of the espresso beans to use at home :)

Hey everyone, I’m new to Boone so trying new things is a must! Today I went here for the very first time and may I say both their donuts and Iced coffee were amazing! But, what was the most amazing part of this new experience for me was their drive-through team member Kaitlyn. She has a great personality so friendly, professional and caring! I was only going to get a donut because I’m super picky when it comes to coffee… but I asked her for a recommendation and she took the time to help me pick what was best for me. You can tell she genuinely cares about this business and their customers. I’m amazed with the quality of their employees and I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to try something new!

I had the best coffee made by the nicest barista Emma!! The coffee was so gas fire that it kissed every taste bud individually.

Cutest little spot in the heart of town, busy but service is quick! The selection of donuts & pastries is the best part about this place but the coffee is equally as good!

I normally go to the drive thru but it was closed in the evening. This was sometime last week. I went aside and the barista was super friendly and made the effort to make conversation. I also think the prices here are the most reasonable of most coffee shops in Boone. I was shocked to find I could get an espresso drink and a donut for $6. Usually, I'm paying $6 for the drink alone. I'll be back!
