Fantastic coffee roastery! Stopped in to take some home for the holidays. Wished they were everywhere. If you are visiting, make it a stop. The staff were very helpful in describing the flavors they have and to cater that to your preferences. read more

Another day, another opportunity to get coffee. With a chill in the air, we headed to dynamite. I ordered a large hot hazelnut latte. It was a comfortable place to drink & to visit. My drink was ready in no time, & I appreciated that it was full to the top. The coffee was rich & pleasant. The flavoring however was weak & not discernible. I think if the flavoring were more pronounced, this place would be excellent. read more

Always love when I get to stop here! My dirty chai was so yummy and warm and spicy. My blueberry and cream cheese danish was perfection. The service is always kind and efficient! I love the vibe at Dynamite too... read more

I am thrilled that I discovered this local WNC roaster while at Old Europe in Asheville. Their coffee was so delicious that we immediately drove to the roaster in Black Mountain. Their building is cute and cozy, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They even had two decaf espresso options to choose from, and we opted for the dark roast decaf. It is so chocolatey and delicious. We will be ordering in bulk and having it shipped to us. read more

This coffee is the bomb! I asked for guidance on which coffee would lend itself best for home cold brew. I have made a couple of batches and the flavor is fantastic. read more

This coffee if so good! I always get drip when I come, whatever is the lighter drip for the day. The porch is a great place to chill, and they have a large vinyl selection inside with a player and speakers. I've always had a good experience with the staff too. If you like really good coffee fresh from the roasters down the road, you have to come here!!! Also, they usually have the windows open in the warmer months, so you can get free smells just by parking in the parking lot! read more

Great little coffee shop just outside of downtown Black Mountain. Personally, my favorite coffee shop in Black Mountain--and that's not to throw any shade at the other spots, I think Dynamite is just THAT good. Easy parking and accessibility--you'll notice they even have a coffee grinds vending machine right out front, which is very unique. It's small/cozy inside, so you may have trouble finding a spot to set up shop if you're looking to camp out, but they also have nice outdoor space on a composite wood deck. I really enjoy their lattes with oat milk--typically I'm a simple, black-coffee man myself, but when I come here, I feel the need to treat myself! The staff always does a great job of being thorough with the orders, so be patient! read more

Stopped in to Dynamite Coffee for a Saturday morning brew. Small location with minimal parking. Some people parked too close to the driveway of the establishment so it can be hard to get in. The coffee was great! Very hot which I approve. I wouldn't say it's the best place in North Carolina but it was pretty solid. Pumpkin chocolate chip muffin was stellar though. read more

Great coffee, friendly people, and the cutest little coffee vending machine I've ever seen! I had an iced latte and my husband a black coffee. Next time I will need to give their pastries a try! Baristas were super sweet (and patient with my indecisive husband!) Seating inside is a bit limited, but such a fun spot! Worth a stop when you are in the area. read more

We were on vacation at a B&B NC. Tried their premium coffee offering and it was from Dynamite Roasting " SUMATRA Mandheling", honestly the best coffee I've had. I bought a 5 pound bag and I'm loving it.....so do my neighbor's! read more

Dynamite Roasting is a unique little coffee shop. I love how they have bags of coffee in a vending machine outside. Inside there are lots of interesting records, cozy atmosphere, and wonderful smells of freshly roasted beans. I'm disappointed I didn't try their chai tea but will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. I got a bag of Suplicar to take home and my kitchen is smelling just like their shop! read more

Awesome coffee - freshly roasted. I buy all my fresh-roasted beans here for home use. The freshness and taste I have not been able to match anywhere else. Very highly recommend this spot if you have coffee-snob tendencies. You will love it. Cheers! read more

Absolutely great coffee and tons of options. Latte was maybe the best I've had in asheville area. Nice area to sit with friends or work for an hour. Staff is incredibly friendly. The coffee price per pound is wry fair price! I will hang out at this place for sure!!!! read more

I have decided that this is the best coffee in the world. Seriously, have you tried their incredibly delicious organic fair-trade coffee? I've been drinking their coffee every morning for about six months now and it has altered my taste buds (or my brain) because I have no interest in drinking other coffees any more. Not only is their coffee the perfect tasting coffee ever, they are a loving, community-based business who truly cares about taking care of people. They strive to have positive relationships with their coffee bean growers and roasters, their customers and their local community. And it really shows. Although their coffee costs about $14/lb it is worth every single penny. read more

Dynamite Roasting - Cute space! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Black Mountain, North Carolina

10/10!!! Incredible coffee, by far the best in Black Mountain. It's located in a small home and it's very vibe inside, feeling like a living room in someone's home. They have cool records playing and some limited seating if you want to hang. Excellent pastries and awesome service, I actually dropped my chai getting in my car and was ready to buy another, but they just gave me another on the house! So sweet. The coffee is incredible, I'd recommend taking some home with you if you're visiting. Will def be a regular spot when visiting Black Mountain. Also.. free bumper stickers ! read more

Love popping into this location when I'm in Black Mountain - there are so many places to get my fix in the Asheville area. Dynamite coffee - right up there with the best beans around! read more

I used to go to the Dripolator down the street, but they've gone down hill since I was there a couple years ago. Cold to luke-warm cappuccinos and even their new logo SUCKS. Change in ownership? Anyway, THIS place is everything a great coffee shop is meant to be; comfortable, casual, eclectic staff and diverse clientele. I'd love if they could add even more food items than their current, excellent offering. The pear hand-pie was de-lish! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I enjoyed a super strong oat milk cappuccino outside on the patio. It was delicious- the best I've had in ages. The barista was super sweet. I'll return again asap! read more

Passing through the area as we were traveling. Have not been here in years. Still has Excellent coffee, as smooth as silk. No bitterness whatsoever! And thanks to the lovely barista who re-did my order recently. I just don't "do foam" and she understood! Great vibe going on here. read more

If you love coffee, you only need to walk in the doors of Dynamite to know that you've come to the right place! Tall, dark and strong in a cup {and possibly sitting across from you if you have a hot date}. I highly recommend a stop in Black Mountain and a visit to this roaster if you're headed to or from Asheville. With a beautiful view of the mountains from their lovely back porch, a full record collection with couches for comfort, the only thing missing from this coffee stop is free wifi. Get a drip of the day if you're feeling straight or a latte if you're feeling fancy [and be sure to take some home! Grab a punch card if you think you'll be back]. And the whipped cream on the frappe would be to grab a bite to eat from Gateway Eatery right next door. I also highly recommend the almond muffins at Dynamite if you're looking for a sugary treat. read more

They have pre-bagged cold brew. This is not a drill! Only $15! The baristas were very kind and knowledgable. Also just precious and sweet. Loved the building and location. Great shop! read more

Dynamite is one of two locally owned and operated coffee shops in Black Mountain. The coffee here is consistently great. And they have local pastries in the morning - until they run out. The pastries are very good. The sticky buns are my favorite. The staff here is also local; and noticeably different from the staff at the mega-locations coffee shop that is also in town. (The other place is good, too. But when in Black Mountain I always go "local" since the local coffee places, especially Dynamite, is so good.) read more

Great coffee! Super chill vibes but felt like a local going here on a trip through NC. Coffee vending machine was really cool too. Barista was friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I have been drinking dynamite coffee for years now. Many times I will order 5 pounds from the roaster and pick it up at the cafe for an extra discount. I generally like many of the coffees but for the life of me I can't understand why they no longer put the roast dat on the bags and put a " best by" date that is at least 6 months from the roasting date. Please go back to putting the roast date on the coffee like all good specialty coffee roaster should. read more

Wonderful coffee shop with a laid back relaxed vibe. Not only is the coffee delicious, but they have a big selection of vinyl albums you can peruse and play, everything from Frank Sinatra to The Rolling Stones. But you come here for coffee right, so here were our picks: Chai Tea - pretty good, especially when you use the natural sweetener Drip of the Day - the special roast of that day, "wonderful" exclaimed my wife. Vanilla Latte with shot Expresso- a huge hit with my son. Vanilla Steamer - a hit with my youngest. Hot Chocolate - ah, maybe should stick with coffee. Really fun atmosphere, nice friendly service. However, you don't have to be in need of a caffeine fix to go here, they have roasted coffees to go and multi-packs for you to try different flavor. read more

Dynamite Roasting - Chai latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Black Mountain, North Carolina

This place has a fantastic base from which I can see it soaring into a solid 5 star rating soon! Coffee, very good. Drinks are reasonably priced. Baked goods come from another place and the scone we chose was not finished between two of us. A bit lacking in salt and moisture and a solid 'eh'. Not a single sugar free syrup choice and only one flavored syrup choice and what appeared to be a house made simple syrup. They DO have nut milk, but charge 50c more for that. I never understand that, as I find cows milk to be as much if not more than nut milks and cows milk sours much more quickly than nut milks...so it can't be the loss factor. Baristas were friendly and engaging. Parking was a gravel lot, but plentiful spaces. Good amount of seating inside and a nice covered porch for entry on rainy days. This is a place I'd stop at again, but am looking forward to when it is a destination place instead of a 'happen to be next door' place. read more

Recently stopped by this place and loved it. The coffee was superb and the space was open and bright. There was great music playing, the staff was super friendly, and the local vibe was obvious. While there were plenty of tables, there were few outlets and there is no wifi, so this is def not a "hang out and work" kind of place unless you have your own hotspot. read more

These people are all about the coffee. The coffee is strong, and that's what we like. We will definitely be back and next time we will buy beans. read more

Oh the sweet smell of coffee! Whilst having a brew at Pisgah Brewing, what did I spy with my little eye? The Dynamite Roasting Co.'s roasting facility right next door. I've been up since 4 AM and the Pisgah Pale hit me in the butt like bear tranquilizer. Swoosh, car please take me to the retail store. Yessir, right away. Cool little house with bold graphics - can't miss it! You feel like you've walked into the apartment of the coolest person you know. Laid back, cozy decor with a wall full of LPs and a phonograph ( record player for you whippersnappers ). Best cappuccino I've had in a while - really nice pull with immaculate flavor. Kudos!! Love this place! read more

Wow! This coffee is strong, but good. We were dragging around noon, picked up an iced coffee and a few sips later we were back up to full speed. We visit the area regularly and will make this our new stop. read more

Went today for some coffee to drink and take home to brew. I know how fabulous Dynamite is from drinking it at an Asheville restaurant and was looking forward to my first visit to their shop. Unfortunately our visit was completely colored by the barrista working there. Did not get his name but he was a very unhappy camper with a condescending and perfunctory attitude; very unhelpful in helping me decide which coffee beans to take home to brew. Apparently customers are a bit of intrusion on his day. Will come back one more time when I need more coffee to give Dynamite a chance to get some friendly help who make customers feel welcome. read more

Pure unbridled coffee love for and in this place. I've been in the store twice, kinda aimlessly looking for a cup and a pound of beans and I always end up getting exactly what I never knew I wanted. People are kind, welcoming, and seriously knowledgeable about the whole process from brew to origin. I went in last week and picked up a pound of Yirgacheffe that is blowing my mind right this moment. For reference I regularly home roast and drink a lot of craft coffee from California- like Verve in Santa Cruz. Honestly I put Dynamite Coffee on the same level as a place like Verve. Honestly. read more

Back in the day before toddlers happened, I loved to sit and sup here. Love all their roasting ways

Blah. Was very boring coffee. They had zero options for pastries and only 1 sugar free option. The coffee itself wasn't much better than gas station coffee. I can't recommend this place. 2/10 stars just because they carry Black Mountain Chocolate. Overpriced and underwhelming. read more

Really enjoyed our visit even though we couldn't go inside due to the COVID-19. But, the coffee was delicious and served fresh and hot.

Excellent coffee. Wonderful service. No WiFi but does have Hifi turntable system.. great vibe especially after camping and the need to come alive a little. read more
