One of the many gems of Badin, the Badin Coffee is the place you want to know their hours (which…read morechange by the season) and visit often. When you walk in, you are immediately dazzled with all of the trinkets and supplements available for purchase, and lulled by the smell of coffee. The interior seating is tables and chairs that can be configured from groups of 1 to 10, or more. There's multiple display cases full of home baked goods, homemade pimento cheese, and other items. Their beverage options are wide enough for anyone to find something to drink. We are fast fans of their cold brew coffee. It is by far the smoothest cold brew I have ever consumed. Their food options slightly vary week to week, but most are in heavy rotation and you will soon know why - the quality is unmatched. Our most recent venture brought to our table a bear claw and a chocolate croissant. To say I was pleased is the understatement of the year. I was overjoyed with the amount of chocolate in the croissant. The bear claw has a tasty almond filling, and the glazed slivered almonds on top give a nice contrast of texture. You can't go wrong with anything inside the coffee shop, as it is much more than just coffee that is sold within. If you're in Badin during their business hours, it would be your loss if you don't pop in.

This lovely coffee house is easy to park at with delicious treats and what also looks like a lot of very healthy alternative food options for snacks and healthy drinks. My husband got a flat white from a beautiful copper coffee machine and I got an iced coffee. They were both excellent drinks. We sat outside under their covered patio that had some circular fans that kept us cool before we headed out. It was super convenient that they also sell lake hats and supplies so I grabbed a hat to keep the sun off my head and it was very useful!

I thought I had made a terrible mistake purchasing my 1st "real" John Deere x330 lawn tractor. I…read moremade the purchase from the Plafftown location and upon receiving the mower, 2 things were wrong with the mower. Lcd screen fogged up on the first start and the safety with via the parking brake contact was faulty, thus making the starting difficult. I was pissed but, somewhat understanding. Had to take it back, a hour to hour 30 minute round trip. Told it would be back in 2 weeks. When the 2 weeks had passed, I called and was told, they would "get to it the next week"! Ahhh, I just bought the damn tractor to mow and was needing (grass does tend to grow during this time of the year), the mower to do so. Nothing"runs like a Deere" right. I told them I would deal with those issues later because the whole purpose of a mower was to in fact, mow! Another week, maybe, was not an option. Drove back and the next day, I mowed. Wait a minute! The cut looks like Ray Charles adjusted the deck! Spent 4 hours, yes, every bit, trying to get the damned deck to level as per directions and every tube video available as a guide. To NO avail. How the Hell could this come from the dealership this way??? Much colorful language was expressed! I was pissed to say the least. I kept the mower and used it for a total of 7 hours because I needed to mow! And was to mad to take it back, just yet. Finally, I had enough. I just happened to find this dealership, called told them of my problem and was told to ring it to have it checked out. I schlepped it to Ashboro's James River Equipment location. Nolan was very helpful and understanding and listened to me moan about "green" paint. Fine, I figured I would get it fixed and when retrieved, would sell it and get a Toro, as I have "The Beast", a commercial 60" z series that I love, as it never "laid down on me", but, it is too big for around my home. Great for the 3-4 acres surrounding the hacienda however. Damn near went and bought one ( a smaller deck), during this time. I did express an interest in "upgrading" to a x350 to Nolan, as I was gun shy to say the least of the x330. After a week, I was contacted by Nolan and told the deck was in fact "defective". Love me some dat "green" paint kiddies. Yep, gonna sell the thing as soon as I got it back... I told myself. Nolan communicated they would have to get it (a new deck), from the factory. Great, a month away. I thought. Nolan was very professional and understood my "angst". 4 days later I received a call from the owner/manager "Brian"and we chatted. I chewed and he kindly listened. Long story short, he offered me a complete refund, tax and all back to me towards a x350 with a 48" deck if I wished. He didn't have to do that and I was truly surprised! His kindness and professionalism was in "full" display and very much appreciated to say the least. Thoughts of a Toro soon faded during his proposal, and I went yesterday and picked up the new x350. I Will mow tomorrow with the "Hulk II" and add to this review to report how it performed. But as far as Brian and the gang at James River Equipment in Asheboro goes, 4 stars. A professional attitude that is far from normal these day's. Thanks guys, really appreciate it!

She was extremely hateful on the phone. Karen wanted to know why we didn't empty the water out of the drum( isn't that what you pay a repair tech for?). They came out and looked and said it would be $250 to repair. The washing machine isn't even worth $250. I did some research and fixed the problem with a wire nut and electrical tape (valued at approximately $1.50). These guys are crooks and have terrible customer service. They didn't even put the washer back together when they left. I'm all about shopping local but I'd go elsewhere when looking for appliances or service.
