There's no better way to meet a crisp Boone morning than with a fresh, locally roasted cup. โ
For a small town, we take our coffee seriously, so here are five local spots worth a stop this fall:
โ Bald Guy Brew Coffee Roasting Company, an open-air roastery in East Boone with porch seating and a warm, low-key vibe that makes you want to linger
โ Hatchet Coffee, adventure-minded and roomy, with West Coast-style beans and a cheerful little gift nook
โ Drip Coffee Bar, tucked right behind the Doc Watson statue, pairing house specialty blends with treats from Wildwood
โ Local Lion, known for mountain-roasted coffee, house-made doughnuts, and Boone's first coffee drive-through
โ Espresso News, Boone's oldest cafรฉ and a Howard Street gem, with cozy upstairs nooks made for slow mornings
Which one's your go-to?
