We felt so welcomed when we came in here during a snow storm to warm up. It's a clean peaceful vibe with great service. We got a chai latte and a matcha latte and they were both delightful!
Atmosphere and staff- amazing! The taste of the coffee... not my fav :( I was so excited to try the organic syrups but maybe it just wasn't sweet enough, I don't know. I got an iced vanilla with oat milk and it was just too blah. I know, it is a basic drink anyways but usually places make them still special. This was not.
Coffee Shop No. 493 Bald Guy Brew Blowing Rock, NC April 9, 2025 I was instantly drawn to this shop because of their name. Bald Guy Brew! The logo might be one of my favorites of all the coffee shops I have visited. Sadly, my barista had hair and there were no stickers. Not only do I enjoy cortados, but I have a thing for stickers from coffee shops. I should use that hashtag. #coffeeshopstickers I can't be the only 80's baby who has a thing for stickers from coffee shops. The setting of the Bald Guy Brew is picturesque. It sits at the end of a busy street in a little mountain village. Chairs and tables are set up outside. We actually soaked in some sun before I walked in and bought a cortado. The shop was aesthetically pleasing with different colors of wood, black borders and accents, and plenty of natural light. My gaze was immediately drawn toward one of the most beautiful Kyoto-style slow drip coffee tower I've ever seen. The live edge of the tower was stunning and it hung majestically on the wall. I couldn't help but stand there and admire it for a bit. The atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful. I could have sat there all day in the coffee shop. The cortado's description on the menu, "A 'cortado' is a serving of espresso that is cut with an equal part, or slightly more, of warm milk," made me hesitate. I was worried it gave the barista freedom to turn my cortado into a flat white; which happens often. But I noticed the word "cut" in the description so I went ahead and ordered the cortado (I know...having coffee drama or problems is a tough life). The cortado was delicious served at a perfect temperature with a good ratio of milk to espresso. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!
Nice coffee shop. We had heard from locals this place had good coffee and it does. The latte was great. The place was clean/modern w/ plenty of seating.
Lovely little coffee shop on Main Street in Blowing Rock. The inside is quaint and clean, while there's some additional tables and chairs outside so that you can enjoy your beverage of choice in the fresh air. My grandmother was hoping for some kind of baked good, but the only offering available by the time we arrived were some prepackaged mini muffins. It doesn't seem like there's generally much of a selection available, as the display for baked goods is quite small... they could definitely improve in this area. Both my mother and grandmother ordered regular coffees. I decided to shake it up a little and order a London Fog. Typically, you'll find London Fogs made with Earl Grey Tea, unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or something similar) that's foamed, and vanilla extract. Unfortunately, my London Fog here didn't have any hint of vanilla... so it left a bit to be desired. Service here is attentive though. There was only one person working when we visited, and there was a group of 4 or 5 people that came in as a group right after us. The barista made sure to take care of everyone and any waiting was minimal.
A great coffee spot in Blowing Rock! They offered a variety of different coffees, espressos and teas! Something for everyone! They had quite a few syrup options. Including one that had cinnamon, which isn't as common. One thing my friends noted was that their chai tea mix was sugar free. This is apparently not the normal case for chai tea. She was delighted and loved it! There was also a little sitting area right outside the shop. Super cozy and fun!
It's good for what it is. A quick cup of cold or hot coffee. Staff was friendly and it's a quaint little kiosk. Restroom is available. Places to sit and enjoy your brew. Just unremarkable. It's ok.
This is the cutest coffee shop! With the nicest staff. We enjoyed vanilla and brown sugar & cinnamon lattes.
Was perusing around town, stopped in for a coffee, Stephen one of the batista was super Friendly and knowledgeable. Suggested a maple lavender latte. It was perfect. The young lady who made the drink was very sweet and friendly. The store was clean and well organized. Price point was reasonable.
The coffee here was great. They do all their flavors in house which made my latte super delicious. There is a courtyard right outside for sitting.
Excellent iced chai latte! I loved my iced chai with almond milk. The chai spices were excellent and was refreshing on a hot day. I had a fabulous time relaxing on a sunny day. Great service! We parked and walked so it was easy to go there. Definitely need to park and walk in downtown BR.
As someone who would drink the overpriced mermaid coffee because it was loaded with sugar and wasn't bitter. Had an espresso late at the Boone location and was the best cup I've ever had. Don't need the extra sugar or flavors with this coffee. I've tried the Espresso, El Tio, Blue Star Moms and Nicaragua blends. Can't go wrong with any of them. Don also is a joy to talk to and loves the community.
Long wait on a holiday weekend but worth it; best pumpkin spice latte I've ever had. Really cute spot with some seating inside. Worth a pop-in for sure.

We ordered eight coffees for our family, so we were giving the place a pretty good opportunity to impress us. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The coffee was weak, and one family member ordered one of the specialty coffees and really didn't like it. We simply asked if we could swap it for a different coffee, but instead of trying to accommodate us, we were given a hard time about it. For a family that had just ordered eight coffees, I thought that was unnecessary and poor customer service. On top of that, the muffin we ordered was frozen. I know places can have an off day, but between the weak coffee, frozen muffin, and the way our simple request was handled, this was not the experience we expected. Unfortunately, I can only give 2 stars. read more

Great coffee with a really nice indoor seating area. The patio outside is even better when the weather is nice. I had a Nitro Cold Brew that was smooth and refreshing. The service was slow, but only because one barista was doing it all. I thanked her for her hard work and left a nice tip. These days I'm grateful for young people who are willing to work hard. read more
Cute little coffee shop in Blowing Rock near the park. I had a drip coffee. Was hoping to have a pastry also but all they had left were muffins. The decor is beautiful and there is adequate seating. Prices are a little higher than the other coffee shop down the street. read more

Adorable place to grab a pick me up cup or stay and enjoy on of the many cute outdoor table options. Fair warning- no bathroom being offered here so be ready to head back to the nearby public park if you linger. The Cafe Americano and Nitro were both delicious. Stylish safe and spacious coffee option in Blowing Rock. read more
