25 Best Coffee Shops in Hickory

“Good caffeine and food at fair prices. A credit to our town - highly recommend!“

“I just love this little bakery. They are always welcoming and so sweet. I love the whoopie pies they make. My favorites are pumpkin and oatmeal. Both are soft and filled with vanilla buttercream that is smooth not broken. I also love the little banana bread loaves moist with chocolate chips and pecans, only thing I wish they were much bigger. We will be bringing our grandson to play putt putt soon. What fun! Support home town, it’s so worth it!“

“Was craving chocolate and got an iced mocha and a chocolate muffin. This is the best mocha I’ve ever had and the muffin is delicious. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Taproot Coffee bus served the best coffee at my wedding!!! They were awesome and went above and beyond for my guests!! Everyone raved about them and loved the coffee and the coffee bus!! You can tell their love, passion, and attention they provide to each coffee they brew!! I highly recommend!!!! 🤍“

“Best sandwhich I’ve tried!! I love getting the “special sandwhich ” ! My man also loves it very much. It’s a good choice for a quick lunch they are also very filling ! I also recommend the lavender iced latte it’s favorable and good! 🥪“

“Place is cute, immaculate and friendly. Food is good. But... they have been out of English Breakfast tea since Christmas which I find ridiculous! I meet friends there once a week and have to bring my own tea bag! C'mon people!“

“Very cozy atmosphere and super friendly staff, I live just up the road from this coffee shop and was able to walk down and back in under 20 minutes! Cameron and Nastacia were both nice and engaging during my time and made me feel welcome to come back and try them again! I got the Bluebird Iced Latte with Oatmilk which reminds me of a cinnamon blueberry muffin (as if you got a blueberry muffin from Panera and added cinnamon to it). I look forward to my next visit!“

“Addicted to the iced vanilla chai latte! Staff is always friendly and service is top notch.“

“Amazing Service! Food was prepared well and was really fresh. I highly recommend.“

“We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast today and espresso drinks that were delicious“

“This was my first time at Waterbean Coffee so I didn't know what to expect. I don't usually frequent coffee shops so I didn't know what kinds of food they would have. They were very helpful and answered my questions and helped me choose what to get. The coffee was delicious and I got a gluten free cookie that was very tasty. I've never had a gluten free snack so I was very surprised at how delicious it was. There were 4 of us and we each got something different and everyone was happy with their choice. The atmosphere was very pleasant and cozy. They even have a piano that I was able to play. We will be glad to go back there again.“

“Good caffeine and food at fair prices. A credit to our town - highly recommend!“

“Wonderful place for both breakfast and lunch! Charming people delicious food ❤️“

“I shared with one of the workers something that took place previously, and they assured me that it was wrong. Well I have to tell you, I am very happy with this place after visiting today. I tried a Boston creme, and the last time I tried one in a dunkin' Donuts was in Four Oaks, and it was very bad. Or maybe South Carolina. Wasn't good, trust me, but this exceeded my expectations. Now I know where to go for Boston Creme donuts. I have been a very frequent visitor. You won't be disappointed. I get an egg, cheese and bacon, plain bagel sandwich, and it's good.“

“Since moving into the area we have purchased a bike, taken our other bikes here for repair, and end up staying to talk with staff because of their vast knowledge of bikes. I recommend stopping by and checking the place out. I'm very glad I did. Repairs are done with care. I go for all my children's (teenage monsters) bike issues. 5 stars. Highly recommend.“

“I always enjoy stopping by in the mornings to see Josh. He has worked for starbucks in catawba county for over 15 years. I followed him here from the LR location, Josh is the heart and soul of the local Starbucks scene. Nobody makes drinks as well as Josh does and i highly recommend you go by and see him. He’s there mostly every morning! Thanks for all the good drinks, Josh!“

“Had a wonderful time at this Starbucks location. Spent the day putting together a Lego set with my son & we got to enjoy wonderful Vanilla Cold Brew coffees while putting the Lego set together. The place was super clean, the staff was extremely polite & were super fast with their service.“

“The food and the technical difficulties aren’t the best but, the crew is always happy, nice and give the tip top customer service!!! Kodos to the crew!!! They make it all positive even when the drive through speakers aren’t working!!!

Kid-friendliness: Great customer service“

“There is a barista at this store named Lucas who changed my life. I know that it sounds silly but I just lost my mother and his kind words and exceptional customer service made me feel a lot better, I really needed that. What I did not need was the female barista, Kayla, to berate me and laugh in my face. Apparently servicing a grieving customer is “standing around talking” to her. I also saw her yell at Lucas for no apparent reason while he was working and she was on “break” I haven’t seen Lucas at the store in a while and I hope that girls mean words don’t have anything to do with it! -ML“

“Best wedding cake ever! The sweetest lady there made our dream wedding cake! Not here to slander another business, but our original wedding cake came from another place and it was an absolute disaster. We went here, the day before the wedding, and explained what had happened and showed her the cake. She made this bride so inexplicably happy when she said she could make me a brand new cake, exactly the way I wanted it, in 24 hours. The end result was better than I could have dreamed it to be! She was absolutely amazing, in customer service and in her baking/decorating abilities. I highly recommend this shop to anyone needing any types of cakes or cookies for special occasions. They will make sure it is what you want and make it look incredible!“

“Owners run the place and are super friendly - drinks are high quality“

“ONLY AT STARBUCKS DOES THE EMPLOYEES MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD! 💕💕“

“They hosted a fundraiser for our PTO. Great to work with! Super friendly!“

“First they gave a coffee which was not even Luke warm and when asked they brewed and gave a fresh coffee. Other food was good. Clean store. Clean restrooms. There is little ceasers also in the same gas station. I would definitely recommend stopping for a quick break.“
