Stopped in for an afternoon coffee while visiting Chimney Rock. I had a delicious Carmel latte. The lady was very friendly and we talked about the rebuilding that Chimney Rock is going thru after the hurricane. They had coffee and cold drinks. T-shirts and souvenirs. There is a small area in the back to sit and also outdoors on the. Deck overlooking a beautiful stream. read more

My husband and I stopped in last weekend for a coffee treat while driving around the Chimney rock area. The first thing I saw in front of this business was a Puppy Pit stop bowl of water, and I was instantly glad we stopped. What a small yet immensely thoughtful gesture! Now, on to the drinks! My husband ordered a mint frappee and I ordered an iced coffee with cream and toffee syrup. The owner and employee were so friendly and we had great conversation for about 10 minutes. The drinks were both beautiful and delicious. The river runs right behind the coffee shop and we walked down to enjoy the view with our coffee. It was a great experience. Rating from F to A +++, It gets an A+++. read more

Small local coffee shop where you can get a caffeine fix, smoothies, or other assortment of goodies. They have a spot to take old-timey photos too. Staff is friendly and helpful. Seating inside and out but don't bother sitting, go down the walkway next to the shop and you come to the river! Nothing better than sipping your coffee and listening to the water! read more

Great coffee!! Small interior but cozy. Nice experience. Intimate. Good atmosphere. Go there every time I'm in town.

I support local when possible and Coffee on the Rocks was a nice find after our hike near Lake Lure. It's tight and probably very cozy and social when not social distancing. However, they also have seating on the patio and curbside and are nice dog friendly. We took our drinks on the road to enjoy on the ride back to Asheville. My Hot Brewed Coffee was a bit weak for my taste so next time I'll "rock it" (Coffee Rocked) with a shot of espresso. Better yet, I'll order the Americano. My partner enjoyed his cappuccino. We'll back back. Thanks, and stay safe! read more

Staying in Chimney Rock for a long weekend and in need of great coffee. Walked to Coffee on the Rocks and wasn't disappointed. What a gem! Indoor and outdoor seating, lots of great options, and really good coffee! Extra.. they have an old time photo business inside too. Dress up and take home a little souvenir of your visit! read more

Great vibe, friendly service, and delicious coffee and pastries at this little place in Chimney Rock. Didn't expect a lot from this touristy area out-of-season, but was quite pleasantly surprised. read more

The ambiance in here is AMAZING. I could spend all day here. The service is great - just the right amount of personal. The food is great quality, with microwaves and toasters available. GREAT spot. read more

We popped in off season for a hot cup. I had an americano. Wife had a Spiced Chai Latte. Both were very tasty, and warmed us up on a cold February morning. Nice and polite staff. read more

This is a cute little spot, but they could do much better things with their food selection! The coffee was pretty good, but the bagel was disappointing. The guy plopped it out if a Lender bagel bag from the store and handed me a packet of cream cheese! I was very disappointed. I wish they made pastries in house, but I imagine that Chimney Rock business can be unpredictable. I paid $6 for an iced coffee and "lender bagel" Very disappointing, but I did get my coffee fix! read more

We were so lucky to stumble upon this place when we were just passing through town and needed a caffeine fix. We had our dog with us, and she was welcome to come inside the cafe! The coffee was excellent! Would definitely come again. read more

We were so happy to discover this quaint coffee shop. I wish we could've gone again while on our brief weekend getaway, but we enjoyed our cold coffee blended treats. read more

This truly is a little gem in Chimney Rock, NC. Located at the base of Chimney Rock State Park, this is the perfect spot for hikers to get a refreshing treat before or after a long day in nature. It's also perfect for those, like my boyfriend and I, perusing the towns of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. By far the best coffee in both of those places. I ordered an Iced Coffee with a little milk and some toffee syrup, which was truly delightful. We sat outside their cute little place sipping on our beverages for quite a while. Something that is completely different about this little piece of heaven is their ability to do old timey photos. Although my boyfriend and I didn't feel up to it on this trip, it's a cute idea to combine the two. The shop itself is smaller inside, but has many seats outdoors, which allows for one to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. If you're in the area, you should definitely stop in for a treat. You won't regret it. read more

This is a must stop in if one is visiting Chimney Rock, NC. Not only is this place charming, the staff are very sweet people. Personally, I recommend the mocha. It's sweet but not to sugary. The shop is in a house and has antique charm. As a bonus we were informed that a person can take old time photos there as well. For the non coffee drinkers out there, there are also smoothies and hot chocolate. This place really hit the spot on the rainy day we were there. read more

Sooooooo delicious!!! So so so great!! Sadly, we discovered this place halfway through our trip, otherwise I would have been every single day!! I did get to go 2 times and it was worth every penny! It's a small, locally owned little shop but man do they know how to make an iced latte!! We all got different coffee drinks and everyone loved their drinks! The owner was very very friendly and had a lot of patience with our group! His latte's were probably one of the Top 7 I've ever had!! I wish I could bring this place back home with me!! I'd definitely visit again if given the chance!! read more

We stopped here for our morning coffee and the sign says they open at 8 am but they were not open. We left and came back and they were open but they only have one parking space. On the third trip we were able to park and they were open. They offer several of options in coffee, tea and smoothies. My husband had the coffee and he said it was weak and wouldn't recommend it. I had a mocha and it was very sugary and did not look anything like the one they have pictured on here. We also tried a couple of pastries but mine was a little stale and my husband said his had no flavor. Definitely store bought and not made in house. Served in plastic wrap. The prices were about the same as any of the pricey big box coffee shop if not a little higher but this is a small tourist town which is probably why it is so expensive. The decor is old and definitely out of date. The shop is very small and could use a good cleaning and dusting of the pictures all over the walls. We went outside and sat at one of the cute table and we did get to enjoy a little conversation but when we got ready to leave they do not have a trash can outside or napkin dispenser on the table. They do have a cute water bowl outside for dogs! Overall, we would not recommend this coffee shop for the quality and it is way to expensive. read more

Awesome people and the best coffee! Very close to the entrance to chimney rock and there is a pathway beside the shop for easy access to the creek. Cutest little shop and you can get old time pictures done in the old western style. read more

On our vacation to visit Chimney Rock State Park we walked into Coffee On The Rocks. We were drawn to the shop because they took Old Time Photo's. They were so friendly and helpful with information about the town and the park! They took a great Old Time Photo of us and made a great Caffe Latte. Gave us energy for our hike. Great shop for more than one reason! Will visit again next trip. read more

Great coffee with a pleasant atmosphere. The location is perfectly situated between several great trails and hiking spots. read more

Decent latte. Most pastries were plastic wrapped. Scones seemed day-old. Apple fritter was good.

I came here a couple of days ago while my family was getting ice cream next door. I was not greeted when I walked in until the worker was done with another customer's order which threw me off as I'm used to getting a hello by customer service even if they are busy. My iced coffee was OK it was just as expensive as Starbucks. read more

Cute little coffee shop. Friendly staff! They have a pretty good selection of coffees, snacks and drinks. The iced vanilla latte was well made! read more

Bruce, an amazing barista - to think we would find world class coffee here in the mountains. Stopping here is a must!

I'm not quite sure what "thinner" milk has to do with disguising the taste of the espresso. I am also concerned with you not addressing the lack of friendliness of your staff in your reply. I will definitely give you guys another chance the next time I am passing through though... read more

Must have to be a local to get help or a smile or any sort of a pleasant exchange. It's an interesting cover but the content (people & food/bev) underwhelms. read more

The BEST CHAI EVER!! I've tried chai from about every coffee shop (including the chains...) and none of theirs compares to Coffee on the Rocks! Simply amazing!! The rest of my family got an iced caramel latte (also amazing) a mocha frappe (so good) and a strawberry banana smoothie (not a big fan of strawberry but it was astounding!). All in all such a good coffee shop, a must stop when visiting chimney rock! read more

Great spot in Chimney Rock, very nice owner and terrific coffee! Plenty to choose from lattes, frappachinos, the list goes on!

We went to chimney rock on or trip to Asheville and found this darling coffee shop near the entrance to the park we had awesome iced lattes and it was a great starting place before we treked to the top of the mountain. p.s. the views from there are breathtaking!! read more

Awesome burgers, great local beer selections and the fries are great as well.Dont miss the chili burger which is die for and also the green fried tomato burger. read more

The coffee was better than any corporate coffee place. The environment is so friendly and is the type of coffee shop you feel at home. Plus the coffee doesn't have a bad after taste. read more

Amazing coffee and service was superb!! Will be making this a regular stop when in the area.

I've been to the Chimney Rock / Lake Lure area five times on vacation, and am an avid espresso drinker. I believe this is the best coffee shop in the area, hands down. Their Chai tea lattes are the best I've had anywhere, and their espresso drinks are excellent as well. On my last stay of a week's duration, we visited approximately six times. I highly recommend Coffee on the Rocks!! read more

We were referred to this place by the owners of the arbor cabins in Lake Lure great service great staff great coffee very good menu and very informative about coffee selections will return again read more

To start things off, the service was AMAZING. Ive never been greeted by a nicer staff in my lifetime. The team was very efficient in getting my coffee made in a timely manner. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Thoroughly impressed and would recommend in a heartbeat. read more

Not just a coffee shop! Great refreshing fruit smoothies! Mango, peach, strawberry, and strawberry-banana. A little pricey but fresh ingredients are always worth it! read more

Cute place, right next to the Old Rock Cafe (another true gem) and had a nice simple selection of coffees and treats. Charming, great owner, good chats, friendly place. Got the caffeine injection we needed in a sweet dessert delivery system. Stop in to this place as you stroll with the beauty all around you. read more

This place is fantastic. My girlfriend and I needed a spot to get some work done early in the morning and we were welcomed with open arms. Bruce was extremely accommodating and generous. It doesn't hurt that the smoothies are delicious as well! read more

Great coffee. Better conversation. This guy is a hoot and his wife knows how to make a real latte.
