Beverages are self serve. The manager check on us several times. French onion soup was hot with a ton of peppery flavoring and plenty of cheese and onions. I thought the soup was a tad too salty. My husband had a hamburger with all the fixings. His burger came with chips. He loved the burger. My brother had a Rueben with a Bavarian style sauerkraut and potato salad. He devoured and loved his meal. WiFi is free. There is plenty of parking in their private lot.

The baristas were super friendly and happy to answer any questions that we had. The decor was really cute and gave you plenty to look at while you're enjoying your beverage of choice. There's plenty of tables and space for you to sit down. I ordered the vanilla bean Frappuccino and drank every last drop. I went for a small and was glad that I did because it was quite hefty.

My daughter and I walked over for breakfast, and everything was delicious. Way better than I expected. She got the egg whites with a little bacon and oatmeal and fruit. I got a toaster, which is toasted bread with bacon egg and cheese. You can choose the type of meat. The coffee is good, as well. I would guess, based on the food we had for breakfast, that their other items are also delicious. They have pizza, burgers, other types of food like that, as well as salads and other entrees.

I realized after shopping here that they are at a new location due to Hurricane Helene. I'm unsure…read moreif their current location is permanent, but they are currently located at 311 NW US 25 70 HWY, Hot Springs, NC 28743. This was one of very few small businesses that had yet to reopen when we visited. So we wanted to stop in and show our support by buying some gifts and a cup of tea. Still in the process of reestablishing, their new space is coming along nicely. Lots of pretty jewelery, trinkets, crystals, various gifts and even a small selection of plants. It appears that multiple talented artisans sell their work here. I've wanted a Rose of Jericho for a long time, but had resisted buying one so far. There are reports that much of what is available on the market has been poached from wildlife. But when one of the owners noticed my interest in them, he told me how when they were finally allowed to come back after the hurricane, they opened the door to their flooded shop to see all the Rose Of Jerichos alive and floating in the water. "I knew right then that we were going to be ok." I was sold and will cherish mine, with this sentiment attached. I also bought myself a new little Pilea for my Fairy Garden, some beautiful earrings, and a handful of gifts for my loved ones. I snagged a hot tea as I paid for purchases and then used their clean restroom before we headed out into the wilderness for the day. This seems to be another favorite amongst the Appalachian Trail pack, and I can see why. Im looking forward to coming back later in the season and seeing their progress in rebuilding.

Again, I've never had a bad drink here so it's fun to just randomly pick one. The service is always really fast and I'm never really in their long.

My wife ordered the Reuben sandwich and really liked it. I ordered the beef stroganoff, and was pretty seriously disappointed. The sauce seemed like it had almost no sour cream, and it was relatively small, almost like a side dish. That being said, our friends enjoyed their food, but except for the Reuben, it did not seem like anything special. The service was very enthusiastic, but I still felt like we weren't getting adequate attention. Probably because of the closed door.
