Dog-eared Coffee Company

Do not let the non-descript, mirror-tinted windows dissuade you from visiting. The exterior is due to the "strip mall" style location, and the windows are tinted so that readers inside are not blinded by direct sunlight. Once you step inside you find a welcoming, open place that clearly loves books and coffee. The store is arranged with a playroom for kids in the back and side, presumably to minimize the noise they may make. The rest of the store features an array of comfortable seating, tables, and literature themed art. The intention is clearly to invite patrons to stay a while. The counter is in the back. They have standard coffee shop offerings, with an ample amount of featured lattes, all named after a character or quote from a famous work. After ordering, I was asked a question I've never been asked before. "Do you like your latte sweet, or have the coffee be the feature?" I loved this. I prefer less sweet, more rich and bitter taste, and often do not try different varieties for fear of them being cloyingly sweet. The young lady (might be the owner) made me a wonderful latte that featured sweeter flavors, but still allowed the coffee to shine through. I will definitely be coming back.

A great spot, especially for a family with a 2 year old! We enjoyed yummy iced coffee while our little guy played with some new friends in the dedicated play area. Such a great concept and the owner and her staff were as nice as they could be. We can’t wait to go back!

I ordered a Phenomenal Woman and oat milk cappuccino. Both were delicious! The owner is so sweet and I love her mission to help the community. Looking forward to coming here all the time!

This place is adorable. Very cozy. We had a great play date for the kids in the play area while enjoying a nice cup of coffee. Support local!

What a wonderful coffee shop and amazing owner. I stop by regularly for coffee and enjoy the calm, cozy ambiance prior to heading into work. I would highly recommend grabbing a cup of delicious coffee here.

Absolutely love this place. Lots of seating next to outlets, great kid area, super nice staff/owner and customers, great coffee and treats. It's a great place to get some work done or meet up with a friend.

I really love this place. A fun local coffee spot that focuses on working with the community that surrounds it. I love the coffee and my kids love hanging out in the playroom

Amazing atmosphere and coffee!!! Perfect to meet friends, work, curl up with a book, and even a play area for kids! Absolutely amazing addition to Clemmons.

Just tried the Matilda’s Pancakes drink here and it is just as magical as Ronald Dahl’s book! Such a cozy and welcoming vibe here, I can’t wait to visit again!

Absolutely adorable cafe with delicious lattes and pastries. I adore how kid friendly it is and I'll definitely be bringing my kiddos soon!
