“We selected Anne's Custom Catering to provide a fabulous in-home dinner for my sister's bachelorette party last weekend, and we are so delighted that we did!! Her food was fantastic! The chicken picatta entree was a hit, and the sweet potato biscuit appetizers were terrific! One of the attendees selected the vegetarian cashew nam prik entree and she was very complimentary as well. The chocolate torte with raspberries adorned cake was delicious and festive for the occasion. Then we ordered blackberry scones and an assortment of coffee breads to have the following morning which were amazing as well. They were very prompt with all communication, arrived even a few minutes early to deliver the food, and it was all packaged lovely. I would highly recommend Anne's Custom Catering and will work with them again happily with future needs. Very happy with the experience, 10/10!“

“Chuck was such a good conversationalist with a bright personality and a clear passion for this cute coffee shop! We were passing through town on our way back from camping, got 2 iced lattes, a cinnamon coffee cake muffin, and a blueberry walnut banana bread. They were all beyond delicious, phenomenal, an absolute delight that almost had us turning around to buy the rest of the pastries on the spot. We will be back and ready for more of this great spot!“

“The Hot Chocolate Freeze was delicious!“

“Just stopped in after being away for a while and was so incredibly sadly disappointed that you no longer have French Broad chocolate available for your mochas. 😞 I used to tell everyone that you had the best mochas in the state (No exaggeration!!). Ghirardelli is so common, way too sweet, and just meh. Love the Drip vibe! Please bring it back.“

“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.“

“Literally amazing food!! I was with a large party so the wait for the food was a little long- but definitely worth it as they brought it out all at the same time, hot and delicious, and everyone’s order was right on the money (which I know can be hard to do with a large amount of guests). Will definitely be returning!!“

“Just went through with my fiancé to get some refreshers after work. We haven’t tried this location before but since we had to come out this way, we gave it a shot. First off, the drinks are absolutely amazing. I haven’t had one made this great in a while. The staff were very kind and trying their best. It took a while to get through their drive thru but ONLY because they’re short staffed and that’s not the employees fault. They were kind and compensated us for having to wait (very unexpected, we didn’t mind waiting since they explained what was happening; but we appreciated them going above and beyond!) They were kind, hard working and had smiles on their faces. All I can say is Starbucks, get them some more staff when you can! I’ve worked in food service before and it’s not for the faint of heart, especially when you’re short staffed and busy. I admire them keeping a positive attitude even when, I’m sure, they were worn out. Thanks guys!“
