    Highland Grogg and I-40!

    Stopped by on our way to Asheville for some caffeine. What a lovely experience and delicious espresso!! Their cold brew menu was extensive and unlike any I'd ever seen. Hubby loved his Highland Grogg! I had the hot Almond Joy, and it was just the sweet treat I needed on a chilly morning. Corey was full of suggestions for our trip and a delightful host as we passed through. Definitely making this a regular stop along I-40 for us!

    Best coffee in Burke County! Elizabeth and Cory are super nice and service is excellent. Glad to have them in Morganton.

    Perfect bookstore/coffee shop with great drinks, selection of books, and plenty of cozy reading…read moreareas! I have been here a couple times now and both times have been a treat. I usually stop here either on my way to Asheville, it breaks up the ride nicely, or before climbing at Bigfoot Climbing gym. I have gotten both the Poe and the Hemingway lattes and they are delicious! I've also had some of the dessert pastries from Ugly Duckling - the mocha espresso cookie and the cheddar bacon scone. These treats are tasty and perfect snacking size. The interior of this store is very cozy and there are endless reading nooks throughout the space. The first time I enjoyed my coffee and snack outside but this past weekend, I sat upstairs. Both times have been very enjoyable - one minor note, they closed early on Sunday, at noon instead of 3pm, to prepare holiday decorations. Unfortunately, I arrived at 11:30am so I didn't get to stay and read as long as I originally planned. Wish they would have posted on their social media (I looked them up on Instagram before visiting again)! Other than that little hiccup, this is a must-visit in Morganton!

    This place is so cool! Great book selection , cafe and an awesome spot to just hang out and read or…read moregrab a drink and do some work . It has a neat upper level mezzanine seating area and a variety of seating areas and nooks . This will be a go too destination for me anytime I stop in Morganton.
