The interior has a cute roasting station. I spoke briefly with the manager/owner (Greg) who has operated in this location for about 5 years. I had a large cup of brewed coffee (it was a medium roast) with 2% milk. Wow! This delightful cup of coffee kept me awake for the remaining drive. Note to readers - this is more of a "grab-n-go" place that does not have much indoor seating. Thank you Yelp for leading me to this coffeehouse tucked in a hidden area of Johnson City, TN. If you're a student at ETSU, it's worth the 5-6 minute drive to get freshly brewed coffee here. If you are driving between Asheville, NC and Abingdon, VA and sorely in need of something a bit stronger than a cup of coffee at Starbucks, I would recommend Pike House Coffee in a heartbeat.

Nice for something different in JC. I hade the Italian sausage sandwich and wife had the salmon…read moresandwich with house made chips. Both sandwiches were delicious with the garlic aioli on the salmon taking it to the right balance. The sturdy ciabatta held up well to the marinara on the Italian sausage with peppers. Price was ok, but more for the flavors than the size. House made chips were a bit of a flop as served cold and some were over crisp. All in all, we will be back and look forward to trying thier crepes next time.

This is consistently the worst Starbucks in the area. Maddi (manager) at her team really need some…read moretraining or be replaced. Today at first there was only 1 person working with a line to the door. Maddi was sitting outside the location and finally got up to up. She did not wash her hands and proceeded to handle the food for the customer before me with her bare hands. Maddi then took my order. The total was much more than what I pay for the exact same drink at the Starbucks down the street and via mobile order. Finally a third girl got to work and they needed to ridicule her for being an hour late to work with a Baja blast from Taco Bell before getting back to work. It took forever for them to make my cold brew coffee because the 2 girls were more interested in chatting than making orders. The second girl, more of an emo look (she had no visible nametag) was picking up other customers cups and running her hands around the rim of the cups, obviously had zero food handling training. The taller girl, also no name tag but had glasses, was making my drink. When she handed it to me, I questioned if she put cherry in the cold foam. She rudely said yes. I said it's usually pink and this is white which is why I asked. She said it is pink, it's out lighting and walked away. Well it still wasn't pink outdoors nor did it have any flavor of cherry at all. So I paid more for an incorrectly made drink. Had this been a one time thing, I wouldn't provide a review but when Maddi and tall girl (who never has a nametag) are working, I've NEVER been served properly. I'll skip this one moving forward as the one down the street inside Food City take mobile order, drinks always taste great and the are friendly whether you order there or via mobile.

Everything affects the brew and taste of the coffee such as humidity, weather, how fine the bean is ground and theyre more than knowledgeable on this. Service is speedy considering the unique and delicious cup of coffee/tea you receive. I've been here many times and I've never disappointed, they're extremely consistent, no matter what day or time you order your favorite cup of Joe, it'll always tastes it's best and the same as the first time you fell in love with it. Vibe there is real chill and friendly, you can actually talk to the people running it and have a nice conversation. If you're feeling peckish they also have some amazing cookies and muffins, I'm obsessed with the chocolate chip cookies, I've never had one that good and I don't even like sweets. Finally, they seem to have fun with their menu, cute names with meaning behind them you can ask about and they keep up with the seasons with seasonal items. If you go and are wary of prices compared to somewhere like McDonald's trust me and give them a shot, you will not be disappointed. Everything is crafted from scratch to perfection and they put care into each cup they make. I recommend the 'Bear Bear' it is my go to.

You can watch the pretzels being hand-rolled behind the glass, and the donuts hanging in the background while the glaze sets. I truly wanted one of everything. They don't offer a huge variety, but I'm perfectly fine with a place that focuses on doing a few things exceptionally well, and "well" doesn't even begin to cover it. It was busy (always a good sign), so everything was incredibly fresh. We ordered a pretzel, vanilla glazed donut, chocolate glazed donut, honey bun latte, and a strawberry lemonade. We grabbed a table after the manager let us know it would be about 10-15 minutes, but it definitely didn't take that long. The pretzel was warm, fluffy, and perfectly buttered with just the right touch of salt. The cheese dipping sauce was cold-it would have been nice if it were warmed slightly. The "honey" mustard came in a prepackaged pod and wasn't actually honey-based, which felt like a missed opportunity, especially given all the delicious local honey and mustard options in the area. The honey bun latte was delicious!!! Flavorful without being overly sweet. The strawberry lemonade was on the sweeter side but still refreshing and I can imagine it being perfect for a hot day. I added a little water since I can't handle too much sugar at once, and it was just right. And the vanilla glazed donut? It was like biting into a warm, fluffy cloud!! Pure comfort in donut form. My only regret is not stopping in sooner so I'd have more days to come back again and again.
