The cafe itself straddles a stream that was likely used for water power. They had pastry options and some diner style hot breakfast, but I wasn't blown away by these options and (correctly) anticipated that I might prefer my food options on the other side of the mountains. However, their drink selection was quite robust for a place in a pretty rural location. I ordered a coal dust which was a mix of white and dark chocolate; I was a bit miffed that the menu didn't make it clear that it was actually a coffee drink as it could just as well have been pure hot chocolate. However, the flavor combination was ultimately successful for me. Travelers should certainly consider stopping in this location to take a look around, and why not pick up a beverage?

Welcome to Harlan Kentucky, I've been here for about a week now, here in the mountains everything…read moreis spread out It takes a little bit to get anywhere, but the one thing that this area of Kentucky is not short on is unique coffee shops, in Harland Kentucky in the old Buttermore building, you really feel like you have stepped backwards in time. There's an area in the back that feels like your living room, you're surrounded by old books on all four sides, there was a live fire chimney that we sat by for quite a while. This place is filled with thousands of books, a lot of them containing Appalachian literature showing the history of this place. Today we had the creme brulee frappe, a hot coal miner latte, and a hot mocha latte. I was able to order the lattes in "for here" mugs which made for great pictures. We also got the bacon mac and cheese panini, I'm not a big fan of putting mac and cheese in sandwiches, but this tasted amazing. With this being a small downtown area on an early Thursday morning, they only had one employee Skylar, but she was amazing and able to still get everything out quickly and she was very friendly while we had a lot of questions. Final note, I was impressed with the name of this business Moonbow Tipple. Moonbow which means lunar rainbow and tipple which can mean someone who drinks a lot or what your favorite drink would be. Which sounds like a great name for a bookstore. So have to speaking to the barista, moonbow is common occurrence here in this part of Kentucky and Tipple has to do with a coal tipple.

Prices are not posted on the menu, but it was $35 for 2 paninis with chips and 2 milkshakes. It was a great price. We would recommend the blackberry grilled cheese, it has jam, bacon, and jalapeños on it. It had a very flavorful profile. I loved the brown sugar cinnamon milkshake, it tasted like horchata. The creek is very nice to eat by, and they have sun or shaded areas to sit as well as inside seating. I did almost get attacked by a squirrel but that's not the business's fault. I'm sure it's because most people feed the squirrels and birds. If you sit outside, make sure to pay attention to any animals nearby. The staff were really nice as well.
