Coffee Shops near Old Fort

“Love this place! I always get the almond milk mocha and it never disappoints. Easy downtown parking and great service.“

“good coffee and very nice people“

“Ordered 40 Pcs regular chicken nuggets, and 20 pcs spicy nuggets, we got 40 spicy and 20 regular. Still fine but not accurate. We waited a bit because the car in front of us had order issue and the other one took a while to get their order. They gave more sauces than what ordered that's a plus and nuggets taste pretty good.“

“Excellent!! We had a party of 4 and tried 6 different “small plates” and shared. They were ALL delicious!! The service was excellent and everyone so friendly and helpful!!“

“Yall. Simply the best pastries and coffee I’ve had in quite some time! Went to Black Mountain to celebrate my birthday with my daughter & sister. We ordered one of every pastry and had a taste test of 3 items and took home the rest. THEY WERE AMAZING!! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the staff friendly and attentive, and the pastries tasted like they came from a French pastry shop. Will definitely be back soon!“

“I wanted to give a huge shout-out to the team at the Dripolator on Tunnel Road for being such incredible community partners. We recently collaborated with them for our Golden Egg Hunt, and they went above and beyond to help make it a success! They were egg-perts at hiding one of our prize eggs. It’s rare to find a local spot that is as dedicated to community engagement as it is to brewing a perfect cup of coffee. Speaking of which—if you haven't tried their seasonal lattes or fresh baked goods, you are seriously missing out. 🥐“

“We came in from out of town to relax and have a drink. I ordered coffee and my wife ordered a martini. We didn’t know that you weren’t able to have alcohol outside (although someone at another table had a martini as well). We had our dogs with us and we apologized profusely when the bar manager Victoria came outside and mentioned it. As we were gathering our things, we could hear her inside talking about how she’s tired of this “sh*t” , telling patrons at the bar. Initially we ignored it since we were trying to have a relaxing time in a new town. She kept on so I went in and asked if she was talking about us loud enough to where we can hear her outside! She apologized and said there are signs on the tables. First of all, there was one sign on a table that was written on what looked like a piece of paper and you could barely read the words. There was NO sign on our table and she said people take them off. I don’t like people insinuating that I’m doing something I didn’t do. We paid a 30 percent gratuity for the service we received and this is the treatment your customers receive?! Unbelievable! I told her it’s probably not in her best interest to insult and berate customers that are spending their hard earned money in your town.“

“As much as I love to support local I often come here because the local shops either aren’t conducive to studying or aren’t open when I need coffee. This has become my spot to come to when I want to get work done. Everyone is friendly, even when I come through at 5:40am before having to head to the hospital.“

“Best ice cream ever!! Their vegan pea-based ice creams are out of this world and with such unique and delicious flavors! I appreciate that The Hop gives so much back to our community as well. ❤️“

“We've been here several times, only through the drive through. Never had any major issues, sometimes they forget stuff so always check before you leave the drive through if you can. Otherwise the employees are mostly teenagers and are friendly.“
