I had a fantastic visit to Espresso News in Boone -- a classic mountain-town coffee shop with real…read morepersonality and seriously good drinks. At the recommendation of one of the knowledgeable baristas, I ordered the maple cardamom latte, and it absolutely delivered. The maple brought a warm, natural sweetness, while the cardamom added a subtle aromatic spice that made the whole drink feel layered and intentional. It was comforting without being heavy. That paired perfectly with a cinnamon orange white chocolate scone -- bright citrus notes, gentle spice, and just enough sweetness from the white chocolate to tie it all together. The flavors played off the latte beautifully. I finished with an amaretto latte, which was strong on the nose with that classic almond aroma, yet surprisingly smooth and easy on the palate. Bold but balanced -- a great way to end the visit. Great coffee, thoughtful flavor combinations, and baristas who know their craft. Espresso News is absolutely worth a stop when you're in Boone.

I made a safe bet and got a hot vanilla latte it's one of the best I've ever had. Don't think about it just give them a shot! The baristas could probably be a bit more friendly but overall not bad. The environment is great and very busy great vibes all around. I will be back!

Hatchet Coffee absolutely delivered…read more I ordered the Sweet Bee iced latte -- espresso and local honey -- and it was fantastic. The honey brought a smooth, natural sweetness that complemented the espresso without overpowering it. It was refreshing, balanced, and incredibly easy to drink. Simple ingredients, done really well. I also had their El Salvador on drip, and it was exactly what I'm looking for in a light roast. Bright, lively, and full of fruity and floral notes without veering into sour territory. Clean finish, expressive aromatics, and beautifully brewed. Between the quality of the coffee and the clarity of flavor in both drinks, Hatchet clearly knows what they're doing. Definitely a must-stop if you appreciate well-roasted, well-executed coffee.

This coffee shop evokes a classic "Global Village Coffee House" vibe that is increasingly rare. I love this place primarily because it feels very down-to-earth and has a local, welcoming atmosphere. You're greeted with a warm hello and presented with a large handwritten chalkboard menu that invites you to explore your drink options. During my visit, I was unsure about what to order until I asked the barista for a recommendation. She suggested the Pistachio Latte, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. It tasted amazing! While they don't roast their coffee beans in-house and source them from Georgia, I don't think that affects the overall experience or the reasonable prices at this café. In the end, I feel that this coffee shop fulfills its purpose of creating a hometown feel while providing a sense of relaxation and nostalgia. It has definitely become my go-to place!

One of my new favorite places in the Boone area when I go. There is no shortage of coffee shops in…read morethe Boone/ Blowing Rock area but Mountain Dog offers a little more than average - a dog park and much more. There are small freezers with Sheppard's pie's and other pies as well as cakes and biscuits. The food is a little pricey but they are all hefty meals. The coffee selection is a honest selection of a typical coffee shop but there is a special menu that is separate from the main "traditional" menu. The special menu is a compilation of special drinks (dog inspired). We tried the goldendoodle which was golden milk with chai and it was really good. The staff was quick and helpful and fun to talk with. This place is highly recommended!

The spot has ample parking and is pretty spacious as well.
