Local Lion

Cool spot. Homemade donuts. Coffee roasted in house. Kind service. Always a small line.

We love this place and their roasted coffee. The donuts are great, the biscuits are amazing. Always a must stop for us when in the area!

I’ve been a customer here going back at least 5 years. Josiah runs an excellent LOCAL coffee and doughnut shop that is delicious. Why go to Starbucks or other Corporate America spots when you can have the real deal and help Boone thrive? A quality spot, quality food and beverage, and friendly staff who want to get to know you! Did I mention this place is LOCAL?

I got the lavender vanilla latte. Pretty tasty! Service was great! Worth a stop if you like coffee!

Fresh, delicious coffee, ground and roasted on site. They also offer some of the best gourmet donuts in the area.

I never had a coffee experience quite like this. My husband and little ones were driving towards the blue ridge parkway and when we saw the line at starbys our jaws dropped. I googled coffee shops and immediately swung the car around and headed towards these guys. We pulled into the drive thru and at the window we’re greeted by the sweetest woman. We told her it was our first time here and she was SO KIND. She was genuinely happy to serve us and answer any questions we had. We both got lattes and maple donuts…WOW! Like nothing I’ve ever tasted or experienced. I’m not really a starbucks person, but when I do it’s mehhh. This puts starbys in the dust. Unbelievably delicious! My new favorite place to visit in boone. Can’t wait until our next adventure out there. Every morning I’ll be here!

The only place we go to for coffee in Boone! Friendly staff, awesome environment and great coffee. Gluten free donuts were AMAZING!! And I'm not even gluten free!

Coffee was excellent…but the donuts…OMG!!
I chose the sweet potato donut and it was delicious! This place is a must if you are visiting Boone!

This is a very cool coffee shop. I stopped by for a cold brew (which was perfect) and grabbed a few donuts as well. The chocolate espresso donut was amazing. Nice staff and the atmosphere inside is relaxed and comfortable. Keep it local.

We have been getting donuts & coffee from here for 4 + years and counting. We still make it a point to get the beans from them for our own espresso machine at home. Our daughter graduated from App but we still go back to see football games and visit the area. Fall is coming. Beautiful time to visit Boone mountains & Local Lion !!
