“Since moving to Forest City a few months ago I had been wanting to find a local coffee shop and this AM I found Hope House! I got the 20oz Banana Bread Latte and oh it hit my soul just right with perfection! As a hobby baker for over 22 years I am always looking for that perfect blend! I live in Forest City and teach in Asheville so I have quite a haul every weekday morning! I was met with kindness and hospitality as I pulled in the drive thru, received 10% off as an educator and had an amazing coffee to start my work day! Thank you so much and I definitely will be back and will spread the word around for people to check this place out!”

They even let us taste test the pina and the hibiscus, which both were amazing!! The Birria was outstanding as well!! We loved that they had a custom bar where you could build up your tacos. So much better than having just a salsa bar like most places have! They were also so friendly to our 6 month old! They had him smiling from ear to ear!! Can’t wait to go back! 10/10 recommend!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The pimento cheese balls were outstanding—rich, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. The steak was cooked to perfection, exactly as ordered, and the baked potato was light, fluffy, and cooked just right. We also shared the Penny Tower. 😋

We visited on a Saturday in the early evening before the Christmas light display and had about a 35-minute wait, which was absolutely worth it. By the time we left, the wait had grown to 2–2.5 hours. While the service did slow down as the restaurant became busier, the quality of the food more than made up for it. Overall, a fantastic dining experience and well worth the wait.”
