Overall: Stick Boy Kitchen was a decent spot for lunch. Food was normal, but the ambiance inside was great. Food: The food here was decent, but nothing particularly impressive. The sandwich and quiche both tasted good, but not unlike something you could get anywhere else. Service: The service was average for a small shop, a normal amount of wait for food to be ready. Ambiance: I think the ambiance of the place makes up for the food. On a cold day, this place provides a very warm "small town" feel. The wood furniture and open windows lets you peer outside and really feel the warm contrast between the weather outside and inside while you eat. read more

We ate here recently for breakfast when visiting from out of town. It's a cozy small cafe, where you order at a counter and your food is brought out to you. There were initially no tables available once we ordered, but someone who had finished her meal quickly made her table available for us. We then noticed that all tables have a little sign requesting that tables be given to those who are dining, so that anyone who is just hanging out after their meal is courteous to those who wait. Food came out fairly quickly. I had a chai latte and hubby had a regular latte. Both were tasty. I had the Son of a Gouda, which was tasty, but not out of this world. Hubby and kiddo shared the Jump Starter which they enjoyed. read more

Good lunch spot! I got the Hearty Arti, which was tasty & sounded like the most interesting option (artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers, tempeh, Swiss cheese, basil pesto, garlic aioli & spinach). All the flavors worked well together, but this was my first time trying tempeh & I just think I'm not a huge fan. The chips that came with the sandwich were crunchy & perfect (so was the pickle). I also got the PB&J smoothie- delicious. Service & ambiance not applicable since we got take out. 8/10 would recommend! read more

Breakfast at Stick Boy Kitchen was a great deal - really tasty and affordable! We got a few things to eat there - a bacon & caramelized onion quiche which was a specialty that day, and the Classic Chicken Biscuit which is on their regular menu. The quiche was decent, but I didn't taste much of the caramelized onion in it which was a bummer. Classic Chicken Biscuit was very good! We also got some pastries to-go and for me the pastries are something you've really got to try. The Morning Bun, Sticky Bun with Walnuts and Raisins, Maple Walnut Scone, and Spinach Cheddar Scone were all incredible! read more

Grabbed lunch with a few friends here. Though the line was out the door, it moved quickly, and a staff member was out asking if anyone had questions or needed help, so by the time people reached the counter they were ready to order right away. I had the El Presidente with a fruit cup, and my friends had a couple other sandwiches and fries. My sandwich was okay. The fresh bread was delicious, but between the tomatoes, avocado, and aioli, it was a very wet sandwich and I wished the bread was toasted or a crustier variety than the sandwich slices used. The insides of the sandwich were also VERY cold. As in, the tomatoes felt like they had just come from the very back of a fridge, and hurt my teeth to bite into. The fries were very good and crispy. Fruit cup was great--everything in it was fresh and it had a nice mix of berries, orange, and pineapple. Not just cheap melon chunks! read more

This is the cafe offshoot of a local bakery. It has a slightly confusing entrance that requires you to walk into a building and then take a side door. I found resplendent options, albeit a slightly unclear menu. I got a multigrain bagel with hummus seeking a hearty start to the day, and the toasted flavor was delicious and the bagel helpfully sliced. I got something indulgent for later, and the chocolate hazelnut pastry that I eventually gave in to was enough to make someone forget about Nutella. The beverage options looked quite good, and I didn't try one but ended up kind of wishing I had. Salads and sandwiches are available for lunch. The selection of baked good was slightly smaller than their dedicated bakery, but certainly enough to be worth perusing. read more

Super cute little breakfast spot - ordering was easy and our food came fast. I ordered the four cheese quiche, and my partner ordered the pastrami bagel. The quiche was delicious! The crust was buttery and flaky, while the filling was rich and cheesy. The fruit on the side was also fresh. Would definitely come back to try other options as well as some of their coffee! read more

When I first sat down to write this, my gut said to give it three stars. Why? Well, I wasn't quite sure to be honest. As I parsed through my thoughts, I decided that in fact it was a four star place, but you need to have the right expectations. We stopped in for lunch, and Stick Boy Kitchen serves hot and cold sandwiches, soups, salads, quiche, and of course a large selection of Stick Boy Bakery pastries. They also serve a wide range of smoothies and coffee drinks. I would describe the ambience and offerings as more of a cafe than a restaurant, and that's where I think my own expectations were misaligned. All that said, we had a good meal with good service! Pros: 1.) Stick Boy baked goods. If you've not visited the bakery just down the road before, then you'll need to sample some of the pastries here. Get whatever looks good to you--it's all good! Pair it with some Hatchet coffee! 2.) Mains. The sandwiches we had were all quite good. Interesting takes on standard offerings, such as the Kluckin Kop, a twist on the usual grilled chicken sandwich. Their quiche was also excellent. 3.) Service. The service was quite prompt, and staff addressed any questions we had very quickly and comprehensively. Cons: 1.) Sides. I feel like this is a big miss at an otherwise great restaurant. The sides available with our sandwiches were bagged chips, cut fruit, hummus and carrots, or fries. All were okay, but to have such great mains with relatively uninspired sides was a bit of a let down. Overall, a nice spot for a leisurely lunch and coffee. read more

This place was great! The highlight was the Hearty Arti sandwich- a warm sandwich with tempeh, Swiss cheese, artichokes, red pepper, and garlic aioli. It was so savory and satisfying! The twilight sparking lemonade (featuring hibiscus and pea flower) was special and delicious on a hot day. The cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting was really a notch above what you usually get other places. The decor was beautiful with plants and pretty art. My dining companion got the chickpea sandwich and she loved it! The staff were friendly, even if they did have a little confusion with our orders. Would definitely stop back in the next time I'm in Boone! read more

Good food at a fair price. Great service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Will visit again when in Boone.

Easy fast service. We wanted to go to the place that was recommended based on the fact that that fine dining restaurant sourced their desserts from Stick Boy bakery. The breakfast did not disappoint, well seasoned and flavorful meal. They even had the Hatchet coffee beans here for our coffees, which was fun. read more

Great pre-hike meal! I came here before hiking nearby and had a good pastrami breakfast sandwich, chocolate biscotti, and turtle latte. I arrived around 2pm and there was still a line out the door, but it moved fast and I had placed an order within 15 mins. I wanted to sit outside but someone moved my water bottle that I left on the table while I went to use the restroom. I ended up inside but it was nice there too. Overall, it's a cute, quaint spot. Friendly service, and everything was pretty tasty. My sandwich came on a bagel - I don't know why I was expecting toast or an English muffin...I guess I would have preferred the option to choose, but it was still tasty, so were my latte and biscotti - perfect fuel for my hike! I would recommend this to anyone passing through Boone. read more

I can eat at Stick Boy every day and not get tired of it. They have so many options to choose from including baked goods, warm and cold sandwiches, quiches, soups. There has been specials every time I visit. I have not tried anything here I did not like. My personal favorites are Kitchen Chicken Biscuit and the Hearty Arti. For those who prefer savory meaty options, my husband's go to are the French Dip and the Reuben. read more

Quick stop for a take out order. Bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. Forgot the cheese. Around $9.75. The biscuit was very hard, like cardboard. The flavor was bad, left an aftertaste. I am not sure if this is a style of biscuit???? It was like a hard English muffin, no idea....... maybe different kind of flour....... The one piece of bacon (maybe a half piece) was just not good quality bacon. Anyway, no reason to go back...... read more

This is a delightful little bakery. On our first visit, we loved the banana-walnut bread. Other than being delicious, my wife pointed out that the ingredients included coconut oil rather than any of those vile, evil seed oils. Atmosphere is quaint and service is friendly and attentive. We hope to return. read more

We absolutely loved coming here during our trip to Boone. There's fresh bread, full breakfast menu, smoothies, and coffee to start the day or grab food to refuel. The indoor seating is an assortment of booths, high tops, and the usual table & chairs. Outdoor seating is also available. They have a coat closet where there's a basket full of toys (mainly dinosaurs) for the kiddos. Those came in handy on multiple occasions! A bit random, but make sure to try their potatoes! It's the perfect balance of crispy and golden. read more

I would eat the Rowdy Rooster chicken salad sandwich every single day of my life if only I didn't live 2 hours away... Remember the 90s when everyone had chicken salad on their menu and it was actually good? This is deliciously reminiscent of those times and I wholeheartedly appreciate it. I've only been here twice and the line was basically out the door, but I see that as a good thing! I don't mind waiting for fast, friendly service, good food, and amazing bakery items. The brown butter chocolate toffee cookie should win awards... melt in your mouth people! I also had the twilight sparkling lemonade w/ hibiscus and it was so refreshing and tasty. I don't go to Boone often, but I will stop here every. single. time. read more

Delicious and satisfying breakfast. The sparkling blueberry basil lemonade was tasty, the French toast was very good, and the eggs were scrambled to my requested doneness. The pastry was a little flat and chewy but still tasty. Service was prompt and I like the fact that they have online ordering. The line went fast. Would have loved to go again but unfortunately they're closed on Sundays, which I understand so I'm glad I went on Saturday! read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a Friday morning. We ordered a cinnamon roll with cream cheese icing, green eggs and ham on a cheddar bagel, and plain bagel with cream cheese. Everything was delicious!

My goodness, what a breakfast! I've come to not expect much out of a bagel sandwich, but Son of a Gouda - it was fantastic. Maybe it was the texture of the bagel. Maybe it was the flavor of the garlic aïoli. In reality, every ingredient melded perfectly into the most ideal breakfast sandwich you can ask for. Order this. My wife got the bacon and chives quiche. It was so light and fluffy - and FULL of flavor. Another 10 out of 10. Get it. We also shared the chocolate croissant. Not your average croissant. Worth it. We sat, read, and enjoyed our coffee for a couple of hours, and felt welcome the whole time. If only we had more time in Boone, we would have loved to try some of the baked goods because they also looked awesome. read more

Ate at this place for breakfast two mornings in a row. Has a wonderful patio to bring your dogs (which we did). The breakfast sandwich selection was amazing. My husband had an everything bagel with sausage egg and cheese both times. The bagels were fresh and flavorful, and he mentioned when he was inside placing our order that they had day old bagels for sale at a discount (meaning he was impressed they didn't just throw them out). The second day I also had the everything bagel with sausage a egg and cheese, but the first time I had one of their quiches - tomato onion and feta (I believe) and it was phenomenal. I hadn't had quiche in a long time and every bite was worth it. This is a solid breakfast place with excellent parking, seating and service, but most of all, excellent food! Both times we went the wait was pretty good, but I heard there's a line way out the door during rush hour so keep that in mind. We will certainly be back should we make it into the Boone area again! read more

LOVELY. The perfect brunch experience on a rainy Saturday. The employees were helpful in their dank suggestions for pastries, and the food service was quick. Our coffee drinks were tasty, but I wouldn't say they specialize in coffee, so I don't recommend if you are a coffee connoisseur. However, I really enjoyed my orange blossom latte...it complimented my lavender lemon scone exceptionally well. The cream cheese cinnamon roll and sticky bun were also quality pastries, but I enjoyed the baked goods at the other store (the bakery) a bit better. (But maybe that is because they had more of a selection). I'd say the chicken biscuit was shwae, but the home fries were just okay. Quiche was delish too. Bonus was the bread selection...we got the feta spinach loaf, smells yummy yum read more

Delicious food! Stopped by for lunch with a friend. I ordered the kluckin kop, she ordered the roasted red pepper and gouda soup of the day. Both were extremely delicious! The soup was soul warming and had just the right blend of seasonings. Each bite put a smile on your face and warmed you from the inside out on a brism day. The sandwich was sweet due to the honey mustard but in a good way. The honey mustard was a good balance to the chicken and bacon on the sandwich. Great lunch date and I definitely recommend giving them a try. read more

The place was dead, took several minutes before someone come out to acknowledge that my daughter and I were there. The menu was so limited that we decided just to get a dessert. My daughter ordered a pie of cherry pie, I mean....how can you mess that up? Well, I'll tell you. She was given very obviously the "display" piece that had sat uncovered for God only knows how long. She's 11, she was so sad & I was very disappointed. I had a cinnamon roll, meh....definitely have had better. I'd been waiting to try Stick Boy because of all the great rating, but apparently this tiny hole in the wall location isn't held to the same standard. We'll give the main location a try soon. Hoping it'll be better. I hate buying something to throw in the garbage. read more
