My favorite coffee shop in Boone, NC! I'm writing this review right from the café, which shows just how much I love this place. The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff is friendly and personable, and the owners are fantastic. Overall, it's just an amazing spot! I highly recommend trying their coffee, homemade donuts, London Fog, or the Queen Anne’s Lace latte! View all feedback.

What Trevor Deen dislikes about Local Lion:
Donuts were doughy and dense we liked the icing flavors but they were lost in the mouthfuls of dough in each bite. Barista needs to learn how to make late foam. We didn't finish our coffees. Parking: Free parking lot out front. Depending on season, parking can be tight. View all feedback.

Really nice staff every time. Delicious cappuccino. And the donuts! They make their own donuts. The orange glaze has real orange juice and zest! The gluten free donuts are the best and I don't normally eat gluten free. I look forward to visiting every time I'm in Boone.

Easy access right off the road for coffee and donuts before work! Ordered the lavender donut and iced Queen Anne’s lace latte. Both were to die for. Wish we had one back home (Asheville)! Staff was very patient and helpful. Wish I ordered more donuts because the lavender was so fresh and light. Can’t wait to stop by the next time I’m back in Boone.

I came in on Saturday morning to get a dozen donuts and some coffee for a bridal party and it was a huge success! The donuts were incredible, fluffy and fresh, the coffee was some of the BEST espresso I’ve ever had and the customer service was amazing!! I don’t know why it took me so long to find the best coffee shop in Boone, but better late than never
