    Chai
    John B.

    Modest from the outside bit, comfortable on the inside, this was a space meant to sit and relax, but I didn't have a ton of time to do that. I just had time for a drink to go with my breakfast, which turned out to be a fairly generic chai, syrupy and a bit cloying. A fine way to start the day, though I wonder if I could've found something more interesting.

    Coffee Shop No. 494 Kovu's Coffee Boone, NC April 9, 2025 The two best words to describe Kovu's Coffee is cozy and fun. The hubby and I felt like the old folks in the shop. It was full of young people working on their computers and reading books. You have all sorts of seating options to choose from and the shop encourages different hobbies. There's a record room, a stage for performances, a round table to play board games and a pretty decent selection of books in the shelves. The best part is you can bring your dog to experience the coffee shop with you. Now for the important...the barista made a delicious cortado! Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

    We were driving from Burnsville to Wilkesboro and just Googled to find a local coffee shop. We popped in for an iced mocha, and it was absolutely amazing. When we stopped in on a Sunday morning, only one barista was working, so service was rather slow, but that gave me some time to look around. There is tons of seating and different types of lounging areas. They have free wifi, regular table seating, couches, bar seating, and free WiFi. There are numerous rooms, so you can find a private nook as well. There are some games and books for patrons to enjoy as well. As for the coffee, it was incredible.

    Coffee was fantastic! The guy working was great to talk to and helped us find some fun things to do (and dodge some major traffic on 105). Pretty cool vibe inside the shop too. 10/10 would recommend

    Down and Dirty: fun atmosphere, delicious beverages and friendly staff (including Lily the dog). Probably the best coffee I've had and wish they had this place where I live. I was here visiting for vacation with family and wanted to try a local coffee spot and do glad I found this. If you're anywhere nearby it even not so near by, this is a must try.

    Anytime we're in Boone we always visit Kovu!! This place is a gem in this small town! They have delicious coffee and a million options, the seasonal menu is always delicious! It's super dog friendly which I love. There have games inside and I usually play the Nintendo switch while my partner works. The staff is above and beyond friendly and kind. We love it here and will be always be patrons of this shop!

    Greatest coffee shop around. Friendly staff and the owners are excellent. They know how to make good coffee and espresso and the coffee art is excellent as well.

    A fond memory to tide me over until we get back to Boone!

    Seriously amazing coffee and lattes!!!! We were in Boone on vacation and luckily found Kovu's Coffee. The owners were so pleasant and fun to talk to. We'll definitely be back here when we return to the area and I hope anyone reading this will stop in at Kovu's Coffee and see for yourselves how lucky Boone is to have this shop.

    Amazing Latte

    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!

    Coffee Shop No. 492 Camp Coffee Roasters…read moreBlowing Rock NC April 9 2025 Camp Coffee Roasters is a little coffee shop in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, a charming little mountain village. The downtown area sits about a mile from the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway (connects the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia). Camp Coffee Roasters has a cozy vibe and an obvious appreciation for the outdoors. It might have something to do with their neighbors; Footloggers, an outdoor store. Be sure to climb the stairs near the front door of the coffee shop. They lead to a loft, overlooking Footloggers, where you can relax in a wing back chair or get some work done at a table near a window. The barista was friendly and made a respectable cortado. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

This time, however, my mom and I were extremely disappointed. We were served by a young man who seemed to be the owner's son, while the owner and another young man stood behind the counter. He forgot to ask what sizes we wanted, and when I got my Campfire Cold Brew, it came without cream. The menu clearly said: Cold brew, marshmallow, Hershey chocolate, and cream. I thought maybe it wasn't my drink, but the young man confirmed it was. When I asked if it was supposed to have cream, he said no, but that he could add some. I double-checked the menu: "It says it comes with cream." That's when an older woman suddenly appeared, glaring. "There's cream right there," she snapped. I'm guessing she was his mom, given her signature mama bear energy. Sorry, lady! I was just trying to make sure I got what I paid for, especially since two small coffees cost $16. Anyway, if you're looking for an adventure, head to Camp Coffee. You might not see a wild bear in the mountains, but you just might meet one behind the counter
