What a very unique and beautiful coffee shop nestled in downtown Hickory. They not only offer a wide range of coffees to teas to sandwich's and different homemade desserts/muffins to ice cream, but they also have paintings, jewelry, coffee beans and teas for purchase. They have wonderful seating indoors and even outdoor seating for your furry friends. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They even offer a self ordering kiosk. The drinks were amazing, and so was the bagel and lok. Will definitely be back, if I am in the area.

Did I just find my new favorite place!? I am in the area for an extended work trip and I stopped in Taste Full Beans to see what it was and I was so pleasantly surprised by every little detail of this establishment. First of all, the ease of ordering is incredible. You can order from an iPad online the second you walk in the door or you can order in person at the counter. They have a LOT of cute and unique spaces to sit. There are little corners tucked away and also tables right in the open where you can sit and hear some fantastic live music. For my book lovers out there, they have a FREE little library AND they also sell loads of books from local authors. But wait, there's more! They also have lots of goods for sale such as beautiful art, jewelry, and greeting cards. The staff are friendly and efficient. The space is clean and bright. They have so many delicious treats to choose from. I ended up getting the Brave New Year smoothie and it was absolutely delicious. If I lived in Hickory, I would be a regular for sure!!!

Kale salad with two eggs added
Jessica P.

I was visiting from NY and stopped in on my friend's recommendation and boy was she right. The menu, while a bit overwhelming with choices, left me feeling like I was getting my moneys worth because there was so much to choose from--iced coffees, hot coffees, lattes, teas, tea lattes, and on & on. I got the flight and was able to get it all sugar free which was a bonus. The kale salad was so tasty, but I'd ask for less dressing as it was pretty wet. Avo toast definitely had a full avocado--bring a to go container to bring your extra home. Eclectic merch choices, too, but I'd have liked to have seen more local stuff--local postcard scenes, stickers with branding, etc. Overall a really cool vibe.

This place really has an awesome vibe. They have an extensive menu, and the stuff we ordered was pretty yummy. Went on a Sunday late morning, and there was a guy playing guitar. Lots of interesting things to look at as far as art, jewelry, and all kinds of things for sale. I highly recommend this place. If I'm ever back in this area, I will definitely stop in again.

Came in for coffee- my cappuccino was perfect. BLT wrap was the best I have ever eaten (came back two days later and got the same thing again!). Love the dog-friendky patio. Service was excellent! Highly recommend.

Fantastic cranberry coffee cake!

I recently had the good fortune to visit this particular cafe, located in the heart of Hickory. It was relatively easy to find. The cafe had a warm ambiance despite the rainy, cold weather outside. My friend and I made our way to the counter and ordered. Though I don't drink coffee, I was very interested in the cranberry coffee cake. I selected bottled water to go with it. Upon receiving what I'd ordered, I noted that my coffee cake was warm. My friend and I made our way to a table near the window. This was a perfect location to watch the people and the rain outside. My cranberry coffee cake was splendid, and I was grateful that it had been warmed up. Though I didn't have time to shop, I noted there were many things to purchase, including several kinds of coffee, throughout the cafe. Overall I was pleased with our visit to Taste Full cafe. Though I do not live in Hickory, my friend resides there and stated that she will come back very soon! If that isn't an excellent endorsement, I don't know what is!

Stopped in for a bevvy and a sweet treat. They had a vast menu that was a little overwhelming but there is def something for everyone. They were running out of Mac's but had so many flavors overall! I wish they'd had a little more gf options for dessert.

Small cortado at Taste Full Beans
Bruce K.

I started my day with a great cortado this morning at Taste Full. Very rich espresso with just a little bit of steamed (not foamed) milk and I had the energy I needed for exploring Hickory. This is a cute shop and they're doing a solid job with COVID protocols, setting up a partition at the counter with a large plexiglass partition hooked up with microphone and speaker so you can still talk clearly with the baristas. Lines marked on the floor and yes, there is actually a mask mandate in North Carolina at this time. My coffee was prepared quickly and I enjoyed it sitting outside for a bit while I worked out where we're headed next. Street parking is available.

Taste Full Beans has been around the Hickory area for quite some time. Offering up many different beverages, ice cream, and even vegan food options! Granted, I've never had the chance to try their plant based selections- it's a great idea because not too many places in the area offer things like tempeh! I can vouch for the flavor of their coffees, and they have a good selection of syrups and flavors as well- however, the matcha was not it. I think it was WAY too watered down, didn't pack a punch, and as my husband described it "tasted like matcha flavored water." I would love to try another matcha because maybe whoever made ours wasn't experienced, but both of our drinks definitely needed more matcha powder so we were pretty disappointed! As far as the service goes, the employees are insanely sweet. You can tell they are back there working super hard, and care about their customers. The atmosphere of the restaurant as a whole is really fun- good vibes, live music, lots of laughs and conversations. It's a great place to go to hang out, but I wouldn't recommend trying to study here! Come relax, enjoy the music, your coffee and a good chat!

The best !!!!!!

I came here on a Saturday morning and looked around the store and there's so many cute cat related…read moreitems at a great price compared to the prices of other stores in Downtown Hickory! They also have coffee, tea, and hot chocolate that you can try and also buy and take home! I purchased a cute hello kitty tote bag and some golden milk turmeric powder to try! The best part is that my purchase helps feed the cats. The owner there is a wonderful lady, full of passion for these cats. I never seen anything like it! Head there on a Saturday morning after hitting the farmers market and it's a great way to destress and pet some cute kitties and drink some tea or coffee. Try not to miss it, just walk into the bottega store and walk in and you'll find the stairs to go up!
