So many classics, new and old. One thing I don't like about big box booksellers is that they tend to be overly focused on the hot novels of the day. Shelves and shelves of books by authors who crank out a book every year so. Thornwell has a carefully curated selection of local books, international classics, and books that are new, but not necessarily trendy.

And after I made my order the young lady had call me back and said that they were out of a certain thing that I ordered and ask me if I wanted something else and I said yes. When I first arrived it was amazing. It was a restaurant and a general store all in one. And The young lady was very kind to provide me any chocolate of my choosing and I chose a Smores flavor. I personally want to say that this place has the best chocolate i've ever tasted. And they have so many flavors. If any time that you are in morganton , you've got to give this place a try. It was so amazing and the ambience here was top notch. This place has me wanting to come back any time I come back to North Carolina.

Picked up a hot peppermint mocha today and chatted briefly with the co-owner. Great location for grabbing a coffee on the go (though if you blink, you might miss the place, so keep an eye out for it). They offer punch cards so that you can earn a free drink, and right now, you can also get a free drink if you purchase a minimum of $20 on a gift card. Check 'em out if you haven't already!

We walked over and we were so glad we did! By PB&J Iced Latte was so good! The cold foam on top was so yummy and the drink really did taste like a PB&J. The Iced Chai was also delish! It was spicy and not overly sweet. We stopped by before we left town the next day - for one more PB&J Latte, another Chai as well as the Blackberry Lemonade and a few baked treats for the road. The Blackberry Lemonade was a fun drink - icey and refreshing! (It was pretty sweet, but also tart - really good) The staff were SO welcoming (especially the sweetest baby ever at the register ) Everyone behind the counter was smiling and actively working which is why our drinks were ready fairly quickly both days despite the crowd. The shop had fun little gifts and stickers which tempted us while we waited. We were happy to see so many Gluten Free treat options - they were all individually wrapped which made them even safer for our son with celiac. This is a great place - we will definitely stop in next time we are in the area!

We ended up just ordering coffee, and although the line moved pretty quickly, it took quite awhile to get our drinks, and one came out way later than the other. We sat in chair in the back and it was pretty comfortable. On a quieter day, I think you could sit and check emails here or chat with a friend. We had hoped to order food as well, but they were out of a lot of items and warned that egg bites would take 15+ mins to make, so we passed on that. Overall, I'd give it another chance, as the coffee was enjoyable. Felt like they were caught a little off guard that day.
