My son attends Lees McRae College and found this coffee shop to be the most relaxing and pleasant environment to grab a coffee and study. He introduced us to the shop and the owners Hayden and his wife. We can agree with the masses that this is the best little coffee shop in the Banner Elk / Boone area. Well run, super polite, always greeted with a smile and going the second mile to make sure you are pleased with your product and comfortable. Well done Hayden and Victoria!

Absolute must stop before or after your Grandfather Mountain hike. Visiting off season, before sugar mountain and beech mountain have opened up; we found ourselves in this stunning mountain coffee shop. The service was warm and welcoming and just made us feel good before our trip up the mountain to hike. In house ingredients make this coffee shop one of the best I've had in the area as well as Raleigh. We'll be back every time wether its for hiking or skiing.

Now my favorite coffee place 🙌🏼 the team is pleasant, knowledgeable and anticipatory! The products are delicious, great chai tea, moist and flavorful muffins and not to mention they even have stick boy cookies without having to drive to Boone to get them, (iykyk)! A year ago I would not have given the same review, but the new team in charge is doing a stellar job! Bravo!

We stopped while passing through to head home after a mountain weekend. The service was great and our lattes were fun seasonal flavors. We had the eggnog latte and a pumpkin spice (made with fresh pumpkin) latte with almond milk. The lattes could have been hotter, they were warm but we also didn't say anything. We'll be back next time we're in town.

The best coffee shop in North Carolina. Anytime I come to sugar mountain this is the only place I’ll get my coffee from. I’ve tried other places but always end up coming back to mountain grounds. The food is amazing, but the service and employees is even better. I left my wallet last time I was there and I was already 2 hours into my drive back home to Georgia when I realized I left my wallet. They were able to find it and even shipped it to me for free! I can’t say enough good things about this place.

Stopped in leaving Beech heading to Blowing Rock to do some work and to charge the truck. I always enjoy this place! Coffee is great, I learned today that the coffee I was drinking was roasted locally by Hatchet coffee. I love that they try to keep things local. tried the Asiago rosemary bagel this morning. It was great! The place is clean and has wifi which I’ve taken advantage of before. Met the owner, a young entrepreneur, really nice guy.

We stopped here as it was close to Sugar Mountain and we were thirsty after skiing g the slopes.I ordered an iced mocha while my friend had a dirty iced chai latte, which is just a chai latte with a shot of espresso.My mocha was good, it had a good balance between the coffee and milk.My friend enjoyed their dirty chai latte; we would order both again.They have pastries as well, it’s close to both Sugar Mountain and Beech slopes so it’s great to stop for a drink or snack when on your way back to the cabin.

Good coffee, good place. This place is located close to the ski action (7 min). It  has a good quality coffee with delicious bakery food. They also have a variety of teas. The plus is the service. I’d love to visit  it again.

Here’s to Fred & Larry’s being closed! Recently stayed here for late season snow skiing and needed some coffee as we left ours at home. First option offered up on google search was closed and this one was only another mile away. Man, they got me so good with their gingerbread latte that I came back the next 2 days for my wife’s breve mocha and that darn Campfire latte. Hard to decide between the 2 which was best and that’s a good problem to have. Atmosphere was inviting and the dudes serving were very helpful and attentive. If/when we come back to Sugar, well-being stopping here again.

Loved this place! My boyfriend and I got bagels, a cold brew, and mocha. They were so fast, nice, and helpful. We are from out of town, but if we were local this would be a staple for us. I’m going to assume the guy that helped us was the owner, he was so nice and helpful. Thanks!

Friendly staff, great addition to the surrounding area. Returned three times during our 6-day stay. Highly recommended and definitely best coffee shop in the area.
