I’ve been living in the area since July 2022, and working for Elon University since August 2022. I have ordered the Chai Tea Latte from here, a few times, and they never disappoint. Today was my first time ordering a sandwich. I asked for egg, cheddar cheese, provolone cheese, and mayonnaise on sour dough, but the sandwich came back with pesto added to it, as well. I have to admit, this sandwich was, BY FAR, the BEST SANDWICH I’ve tasted since being in this entire Alamance County area. Thank you, Acorn Coffee, for making my day!!!

Grabbed a coffee here while touring Elon. Not the best flavor but the place is friendly and cozy.

Got a good sandwich here. They threw the greens and cucumber on the sandwich before they toasted it and I thought that was strange. But it was a good sandwich.

Nice place I got a good hot chocolate and bagel sandwich

Don't go here. Even when empty you have to fill out a piece of paper just to get a coffee. The coffee is much better at erazu's

Ordered a coffee it was Luke warm and just okay. Also, ordered a muffin. I was very stale.

All of a sudden there’s too many people inside when a person of color walks in..? Mind you there were already 10 people, 5 people over your set limit, just standing — not being harassed about too many people being in the shop....

Anna Miller

So rude and noncomminicative to customers. Mediocre Starbucks coffee partner.

Tavaris Smith

Hot coffee fresh nice people

I just call to the number they provided to ask for what type of coffees they have and the person that got my phone call was very rude and said:" you do not call to the office to ask for that" so, why does this number appear to be contacted by potential costumers ? Please, improve your customer service and contact info.

We have been to Acorn just a couple of times when in Elon, mostly because it was the only place open that sells coffee at the time. Unfortunately, I believe they sell Starbucks coffee, so it wasn't very good. We have had bagels here twice now. Again this visit they were large bagels, but seemed day-old as they were pretty chewy again. We got a small plastic condiment with a tablespoon of cream cheese to go with them. They do offer some sandwiches, wraps and a smattering of breakfast pastries, though both times we have visited to get a pastry and coffee (around 9:30 am) there were very few offerings available other than the bagels. On both visits the young person taking our order (counter service only) was more involved with complaning to co-workers about their difficult and unfair work schedule (wait until you get to the real world kids) and barely said a few words to us and with no smile. The atmosphere is a little lounge-like, sofas, coffee tables, upholstered arm chairs, and a few smaller tables with chairs. With the cloth seating and dim lighting, it looks a little like a hotel lobby or hotel breakfast area, and it's pretty quiet. Not sure what the goal was here for ambiance, but students from Elon trickle in and plug in their laptops and seem content. If you just have to stop and get coffee, you can do that here. But you could also drive around the corner to the quick mart or Skids and get some as well. If you want a laid back, lounge feel, might be your thing.

Horrible service. Cashier (old man) didn’t greet me and was so rude. Messed up a chai latte and refused to remake it. Asked for waters with no ice and he put ice. Do not work here if you have an attitude with young college students please get another jobbbb y’all are miserable
