The donuts here are amazing! We came back every day we were staying in Boone. The price was also very reasonable. The chocolate sprinkles and maple glaze were our favourites. Coffee was also great. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Cozy coffee shop full of people but everyone was very happy some chatting and some working. People were kind to each other when they saw someone without a seat and offered to give their seat up now since they were leaving. The drip coffee and the Queen Anne's Lace latte were both great. We may go back Friday for gluten free donuts. The donuts looked yummy and myst he because almost everyone got one.
The best donuts period. I love the cinnamon sugar and glazed. I drive over two hours multiple times a year to get these. I hope local lion stays in business for generations. This recipe is so good.
I love the atmosphere here along with coffee tastes. I am not a coffee person but even I love the coffee taste fresh and flavorful. Gentle music and spacious areas are another plus.
I have been back several times and will be back some more. I love their donuts and coffee. Plus, the place isn't expensive, especially for the quality of food, drinks, and seated area. They also have a drive-through if you want to go faster. The outside seating is amazing, too.
