This may be one of Statesville's best hidden gems…read more There is always plenty of seating. The lattes, matcha, and orange-cranberry pastries are amazing. Staff is always so friendly. You won't find this atmosphere in any coffee shop surrounded by a sea of asphalt. Lake Mountain doesn't have many pre-made drinks on the menu. You have to directly order what you want. If you didn't like the menu "latte" you ordered last time, then make sure to specify your order and choose what milk/flavors you want. My only gripe is that they charge for milk substitutes. I really hope this changes in the future.

What a great find for this traveling coffee lover! Lake Mountain is a genuine craft roaster (they…read moreroast their own specialty-grade coffee) housed in a beautiful old two-story building. I loved everything about the café - the ambiance, the friendly staff, the menu, the fact that on the day I visited two local artists had been given space to show & sell their wares, and of course the coffee. It was so good that I've ordered more by mail. And there's something else to love... When I had trouble ordering more beans from their website, I emailed the address under "contact us" and received an quick, helpful reply from someone who is clearly knows his coffees. Highly recommended!

You can come in and find youself a nice place to meet, an area to sit and read, grab a game and play while drinking an awesome latte. And the coolest thing is how this place feels. That has everything to do with the owner. Don't hurry through though, you don't want to miss all the local artisan's wares. They are displayed so well right down the side hallway. And if you just have to grab your coffee and go, you may want to grab a chair in front of the large screen TV and fire. Whatever you do, you have to come out and check this gem in our area! Love it! Definitely one of my favorites from anywhere in the world!

I cannot recall if there was outdoor seating. You will see a counter display of their beautiful chocolates, pastries and gelatos. The server very friendly and helpful. She gave suggestions and answered the many questions we had about some of the drink options on the menu. My friends went for the 1 dip Affogato and I opted for a scoop of cappuccino gelato. My serving was just enough to satisfy my taste for coffee. It was very creamy and delicious. I would definitely order it again, but I would rather try some of the other yummies on the menu. Yes, I could easily earn a duchess title if I lived near by! I will be back someday. Give them a try!

Arrived here mid-day on a Sunday at the recommendation of a friend in the area. This shop is in an…read moreold building in downtown, and the layout and decor is just inviting and beautiful. I was greeted promptly by both the delectable selection and the woman running the shop. The truffles and fudge are first to greet you with tantalizing flavors and colors. Then on to the sky high cupcakes and cakes along with plenty of flavors of gelato. The do not miss part is the cheesecake variety on the end. The rest are an appetizer and the cheesecakes are the mouthwatering main. All of it pairs nicely with a variety of coffees, shakes, floats, and Italian sodas. I come into town one or two times a year to visit family and friends, and I usually have my favorite places picked out to visit while here. The Gondolier is now on my list of must visits!

When I was searching for the perfect bakery, I was fortunate enough to find Ava…read more This year was especially emotional because my daughter recently moved to North Carolina, and it would be her first birthday without us. Even from over 800 miles away, I wanted to make sure she still felt celebrated and loved. Ava went above and beyond. She created a beautiful cake, personally delivered it, and even surprised my daughter with extra goodies. I was told the cake was absolutely delicious and looked perfect. Thank you, Ava, for helping make my daughter's birthday so special and for giving this mom a little peace of mind from 800 miles away. Your kindness and thoughtfulness meant more than you know.

We arrived just in the nick of time before their 2pm closing time during the weekday. My friends were acquainted with the server and the owner. Our server was very friendly and welcomed and thanked me for giving them a try. After we all finished chatting she took our drink order. We were all indecisive about our selection since there were many delicious items to select. They 3 of my friends decided to try something they hadn't tried yet. It was all to me so it was hard to select immediately. But, I finally decided on the Strawberry Grilled Cheese sandwich and side selection was the orzo with spinach. Our orders arrived and we sampled each others sandwiches. I did like the strawberry grilled cheese. I didn't think it would pair well, but I was wrong. I thought the same about the Fig Grilled Sandwich. I think I will have that next time. Or I might try some of the other interesting Grilled Sandwiches. The orzo dish was a refreshing dish and went well with the sandwich. This place is decorated cute and it is spacious inside with booth and table seatings available. My friends told me it is busy on the weekends. Our visit was on a Friday. It could have been very busy earlier but when we were seated there were plenty of tables available. This town is quaint, all brick buildings. Be sure you pay attention to the signs where you park. Parking patrol is always patrolling the area. I would definitely return come check them out.

When we arrived at 8:30 Sunday morning, there were three Statesville police cars, two fire trucks and three rusty pickup trucks parked out front. That's about as local as it gets. Warmly welcomed and "seat yourself" so we took a booth on the side. A few minutes later, a waitress arrived with coffee cups got us started. Breakfast took about ten minutes and the open kitchen design allowed us to watch the flow of orders being given to the cooks and plates coming out. French Toast for Mrs. K. was light and fluffy, the sort of challah bread that makes it ideal. A ham and cheese omelet for me was nicely sized and nicely stuffed with toast. There's nothing wrong with the homestyle local cooking here. [Review 1778 of 2024 - 3698 in North Carolina - 22801 overall]
