Awful customer service and experience with this coffee shop. My family and I are on vacation in Boone, NC. I googled a coffee shop and was directed to Higher Grounds coffee. Their website said they closed at 8:30 on tuesdays. My family and I drove 25 min to the shop and we arrived at 6:40.
I was told by ladies standing outside that they were closed. They closed at 6:30 and never bothered to update their website. I knocked because I saw an employee- she ignored me. I called and spoke to her and she said she couldn’t make an exception and serve us. I let her know we drove almost a half hour out of our way because their website said they would be open. She didn’t care. I sent the shop a message on Facebook and they blocked me. Such a terrible experience and such poor customer service. They didn’t even try to make it right. They simply did not care.

I am a HUGE coffee connoisseur, and recently while spending a few days in Boone, my wife and I searched for a coffee shop. First of all, the staff are extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. My wife is a fan of iced coffees and I'm a daily brew kind of guy. Somehow they brewed the daily flavors just perfect to maximize the taste - not too strong, not too weak. We brought home some flavors also - Highlander Grogg and Snickerdoole - which I had not had in years...brought back some memories. They have quite a few decaf selections as well. And their in-store grinders are perfect for those who don't grind fresh at home. The thing that surprised us is that their indoor area is spacious enough that it doesn't feel crowded. Even when it started filling up right before we finished and left, we could still hear each other talking without having to yell. We have decided that every time we are in Boone, we will stop here. We could not believe there weren't more coffee shops like this since Boone is a college town. But this tops the Starbucks inside Harris Teeter, and the Panera at the mall. Do yourself a favor and visit Higher Grounds Coffee Shop!

I love stopping for coffee here! the baristas are so nice, and have suggested some of the best coffee I have ever had. The prices are super reasonable and the blueberry cheesecake ice cream is really really good.

The lady who was working when we came was very friendly and helpful. When we go to Boone, we always make a stop here. I recommend the Heath Mocha Frappe if you are looking for something refreshing and sweet, with a hint of caramel and coffee.

Just passing through town and desperately in need of a pick-me-up, I caught them right at closing. They were happy to whip up a delicious brève for me and I was on my way! The barista who helped me was very nice too.

Bonus points, everything else in town was already closed!

Fantastic coffee and service was incredible! Stop in for some warmth during the winter! Great spot to do some work on your laptop!

Bar far the best caramel macchiato I've ever had. The best espresso I've ever had! They should tear all the Starbucks down and just make more Higher Grounds Coffee shops.

Very bad coffee. My boyfriend and I went on a Sunday morning. He got a latte, which he said wasn't great. I got drip, which was basically very weak and seemed watered down. One of the daily coffees was out, the other was weak. I got a refill and tried the dark roast; it was also weak, like it was half coffee/half water. The drip coffee was self-serve, which I have never seen before, at good or bad coffee shops. And the place was a mess; coffee grounds all over the counter behind the bar around the espresso machine. I wish we had gone to Starbucks, or just skipped it.

Tucked away in a corner of a shopping mall, this coffee shop had a relaxed, nice atmosphere and fantastic staff.
