Saturday late morning in the spring and it was exactly the kind of mountain moment you hope for…read morewhen the snow is all gone and the air is just starting to warm up and even though the place was absolutely packed, Mrs. K. somehow managed to snag a small table while I went to the counter for our coffees. If they have one of those little blueberry baked things with the blueberry chocolate icing on top, you will regret not getting one because they are rediculous in the best way. The parking lot was chock full of Porsche 911s today and I have no idea what event was happening but seeing that many high performance cars lined up in a tiny mountain town was pretty cool and honestly added to the whole vibe of the morning. The coffee was excellent, the wifi worked without any fuss, and we enjoyed our drinks and treat before heading further into the mountains feeling like we got our morning going just right. Five stars.

I love supporting local coffee shops, but my first experience here was horrible. They explicitly…read morelist "Pets Welcome" on their online profiles, so I drove out to try them. I walked in holding my quiet dog, intending to just look at the menu, order, and leave. Before I was even inside for two seconds, a staff member told me we weren't welcome at all. I completely understand indoor health codes, but if you advertise your business online as pet-friendly, you need to provide a way for new customers to actually see a menu or order from the patio.I would have happily stepped right back outside if the employee had offered a solution. Instead, they were completely unhelpful and just turned a paying customer away. If you have a dog, don't waste your time coming here, the "Pets Welcome" tag is completely misleading.

To anyone passing through or visiting Lake Lure, I can't recommend this place enough! Though I will say, the hours on Google are the correct hours. Maybe don't rudely show up when they're closed like we did lol
