Been going here for years now. Love the coffee and the people. Always been treated like family. Without a doubt the best coffee ive had at any coffee shop. Literally the only thing I could even think to change is more cup size options. Outside of that its a fantastic business thats run and operated by good people. If you ever find yourself in marion definitely stop in and grab a drink.

Ingenious Coffee is my go-to place for coffee in Marion. Our non-profit had ordered coffee for an off-premises event. We prepaid and arranged to pick up the large coffee urn right before the event. Unfortunately there was a mix-up on the date and the coffee wasn't ready. Owner and master roaster Eli stepped up for us. He quickly brewed an urn of coffee and delivered it to our event with a FULL REFUND. We had coffee for our event and the refund. I cannot thank Eli enough for coming through for us. As usual the coffee was excellent. Thank you Eli and everyone at Ingenious Coffee.

This is only the second time my husband and I have been in this coffee shop we were actually invited by some friends that work there.Today I ordered my Caramel Frappe with extra Caramel and it was the very best! My husband had a coffee which he said was good as well.The young lady that fixed our order was so polite and very helpful.I am sure we have found a great place to go for coffee and sharing memories and also making new ones.

Ingenious Coffee is one of those places that instantly feels special the moment you walk in. The coffee is excellent—high quality, thoughtfully roasted, and clearly crafted with care. The fact that they ship nationally just shows how confident they are in what they do.
But what truly sets Ingenious apart is the people.
Every time we come in, Jodie remembers our kids, talks with us, and takes the time to show them around the roaster, explaining different beans and where they come from. He’s always incredibly kind and patient with them, and that kind of genuine warmth is rare. And we’re from out of town so it seems that much more unique that they would remember us.
The whole staff creates an atmosphere that’s welcoming and comfortable for everyone. It’s more than just a coffee shop. It’s more than a roaster. It’s a true community space, and that’s entirely because of the people behind the counter.
Marion honestly wouldn’t be the same without Ingenious Coffee. It’s the kind of place you don’t just visit—you’re glad exists.

Great coffee selection with a variety of in house roasted flavors and grinds. A bright and peaceful atmosphere with seating that meets any preference. The whole team is friendly and helpful. A local favorite and worth the trip from out of town. Pastries are 😋 yummy! Teas are available. Wifi accommodations are available for business and pleasure.
Unbelievably nice staff (family owned), tasty espresso/coffee drinks and very laid back vibe. Front and back of house are in the same space which is very neato. Staff is back measuring and grinding beans stored in burlap bags! They've got a few couches and tables inside and out. Lots of outlets if you wanna do some work too. Worth a stop.

I am a Marion local so have been an Ingenious fan for a long time, but we had their team make us wedding favors for our wedding and they turned out wonderfully. The pricing was reasonable (especially given the current changing prices with coffee) and they were easy to work with. Our friends and family commented on good the coffee was, which we already knew of course! They make some of the best flavored coffees I've had as well, and it's easy to order a couple of pounds online when we need to replenish our stock since we live out of state.

Best coffee in Western NC hands down. Awesome drinks, awesome people, I love the real atmosphere of the shop. The most high quality coffee ive ever had. They know what they are doing and need more credit for it!!
