Fox and the Fig

Stopped by this delicious place on a work trip through the mountains. The space inside is so wonderful and welcoming. They have a few items for sale that we’re cool and locally made.

I got an iced matcha latte with almond milk that was very good and tried their vegan cookie which was also awesome!

Recommend you making this a regular stop or trying it out if you’re passing through! They have tasty items on the menu as well!

Pour-over coffee and herbal teas.
Tasty sandwiches on bread and bagels.
Great local art for view and for sale.

This place is doing something right. The Buchanan’s (no relation) who run this place have created a cozy retreat in the mountains for starting your morning - or evening - right!

A must-go place if you’re in the area and even remotely like coffee or tea.

Free WiFi (that’s actually good).

Every time we are in Spruce Pine visiting family, we try to get to the Fox and the Fig at least 3-4 times. The staff is always friendly. The kids love the cookies and the lemonade. I like a cortado. So glad to be able to go to a great coffee shop in spruce pine. What a gem of a place!

Really good coffee - properly brewed and delicious. Breakfast was tasty and filling. The biscuit gravy was too runny and under seasoned for my particular taste.

Double check their hours on their Facebook page. The Google business hours are inaccurate as I learned when I came for an afternoon cup of coffee

First and last-time customer.
My husband asked if they could make a “wonderful ” strawberry cake with strawberry icing for our Valentine’s trip to a nearby cabin. The baker stated she could. We picked it up on Valentine’s Day without a hitch. It was beautifully decorated.
That evening we cut into it and were surprised at the appearance of the cake, it looked half-baked. We decided to try it anyway and found that it had the consistency of PlayDoh! It was super dense and stodgy. We could not eat it. (On a positive note:the icing was good)
We tried to return the rest of the cake to the bakery the following day but they were closed for staff training. We returned the next day and returned it. My husband told the young man at the counter what the problem was and that we were returning it. His response was “I’m sorry about that”. He never offered a refund, full or partial, or a replacement…nothing.
Worst cake I’ve ever tried to eat.
So much for our special Valentine’s Day treat.

This places rocks. Simple coffee menu but excellent coffee!! Nice little breakfast menu of made from scratch goodies. I'll be going here often.

We came here for lunch and it was so good we were back the same afternoon. Everything we ate was delicious, homemade, and high quality; quiche, coffees, side salad, and several cookies. The young people running the place were very friendly and knowledgeable. We will return.

I just have to say every time I come here I want to come back that much more! The staff are always amazing and so patient. I always feel welcome and accepted and they really do the best at forging connections with you. I love this place so much and always suggest making a stop to our guests! Thank you for being you and being so great!!

My husband wanted a coffee before the drive to black mountain so I went in with him. Initially I decided I didn't want anything but changed my mind when I saw they had masala chai. We also got a dark chocolate espresso cookie. My chai was really good, not as hot as I like but enjoyable nonetheless. My husband liked his chai latte and we both LOVED the cookie! It was delicious and I wanted more! I hope they're open tomorrow!

Wonderful service and homemade baked goods!! The oatmeal chocolate chip cookie was the perfect pick me up after my hike. Very cute shop with small gifts/goods to buy from local artisans!
