The baristas were super friendly and happy to answer any questions that we had. The decor was really cute and gave you plenty to look at while you're enjoying your beverage of choice. There's plenty of tables and space for you to sit down. I ordered the vanilla bean Frappuccino and drank every last drop. I went for a small and was glad that I did because it was quite hefty. If you have the opportunity to give this place a try, go for it!

We stopped in on Saturday August 1, 2026 for a coffee and some shopping. The staff is amazing,…read morefriendly, and helpful. We loved the variety of craft offering and the prices were great. We had hoped to get back before they closed for ice cream but a side quest to Max Patch took a wee bit longer than expected. If you're in the area you definitely need to stop in and visit Artisun Gallery!!! Be sure to ask for their seafood offerings...not really...inside joke from yesterday's conversation with staff.

I realized after shopping here that they are at a new location due to Hurricane Helene. I'm unsure…read moreif their current location is permanent, but they are currently located at 311 NW US 25 70 HWY, Hot Springs, NC 28743. This was one of very few small businesses that had yet to reopen when we visited. So we wanted to stop in and show our support by buying some gifts and a cup of tea. Still in the process of reestablishing, their new space is coming along nicely. Lots of pretty jewelery, trinkets, crystals, various gifts and even a small selection of plants. It appears that multiple talented artisans sell their work here. I've wanted a Rose of Jericho for a long time, but had resisted buying one so far. There are reports that much of what is available on the market has been poached from wildlife. But when one of the owners noticed my interest in them, he told me how when they were finally allowed to come back after the hurricane, they opened the door to their flooded shop to see all the Rose Of Jerichos alive and floating in the water. "I knew right then that we were going to be ok." I was sold and will cherish mine, with this sentiment attached. I also bought myself a new little Pilea for my Fairy Garden, some beautiful earrings, and a handful of gifts for my loved ones. I snagged a hot tea as I paid for purchases and then used their clean restroom before we headed out into the wilderness for the day. This seems to be another favorite amongst the Appalachian Trail pack, and I can see why. Im looking forward to coming back later in the season and seeing their progress in rebuilding.

I've been coming to Qualla Java Cafe since probably 2016. I can honestly say after 10 years, I've never had a bad drink here. They have a bunch of drinks - all with pretty fun names. Again, I've never had a bad drink here so it's fun to just randomly pick one. The service is always really fast and I'm never really in their long. Sorry if my review isn't better - coffee shops are kind of hard for me to review because coffee doesn't really look good in picture form. Just drink it!

I've had their chai tea before and they were really good but I opted for an orange hibiscus lemonade. It wasn't too sweet and was very refreshing. They offer a variety of non-dairy milk alternatives too. There are some bakery items but I didn't see anything labeled gluten-free. They have restrooms available for customers in the back and many different seating areas. There is also a patio outside that overlooks a creek where you can sit as well.

So glad we…read moredid, the menu has so many good sounding options it was hard to choose which i wanted more (guess I'll have to go back, oh nooo...). I got the thanksgiving croissant and it hits that Thanksgiving leftover vibe so well haha. It is also *massive* which is great--leftovers of the leftover sandwich! The people were kind and while you wait for your order to be made you can browse the shop attached to the cafe. From handmade blankets to walking sticks to lotions to classic Coca Cola bottles, you never know what you'll run into. All in all, highly recommend checking them out and I'm eager to make a trip back to see them again.

Alright folks. I don't give many 5 stars but this is a must go…read more Wife and I went for lunch and it was great as always. I had the Italian sub and Mac and cheese. The sandwich was well prepared with just the right amount of pickled red onions and oil. The bread was crisp and not overdone. The Mac and cheese was perfect with the right amount of cheese without being overwhelming. My wife reported her tuna melt was fan frikin tastic. She was hesitant as it was served on dark rye bread. But she trusted the cooks and was pleased. Her side salad was almost a meal by itself. The salad dressing was a perfect fit. We will return and suggest you make a point to stop in. Check the hours and enjoy the great food. No pictures this time but we will be back.

The mission of working with and training autistic people is dear to my heart as I have a son on the scale. The food felt homemade and coffee, it was just $3.00 with free refills. I had a sausage, spinach, mushroom, onion omelet with a hash brown casserole side. The background music is soothing and the decor is so homey. Come join us on a Saturday morning right at 8am and I guarantee you'll make some new friends and have a favorite new place to gather and eat

Quiet and semi-secluded, when you walk in you are met with an incredible selection of antiques on one side and a charming cafe counter on the other, offering up delightful fresh bites (including a solid slice of pie) and great coffee. The things available were not just knick knacks too, some of the items were quite interesting including signed memorabilia, action figures, leather jackets, neon signs, and more. While I only had a little snack, the table next to me was having sandwiches that looked incredible, and would likely grab next time. While the inside was definitely on the cozier side, there were still a couple of spacious tables at which to sit at with a group. Would definitely recommend, so glad I came across it, and will definitely be stopping next time I drive through.
