Anchor Coffee Co.

Really cute coffee shop in downtown Winston. I’ve been here twice and the second time they had a live band! Anchor will be my go to spot this summer for getting out on a friday night for a chill vibe.

Delicious, well-balanced coffee and espresso drinks with room to sit down and answer a few emails, hold a small, informal meeting or catch up with a friend. Transitions from day to evening with a generous selection of local tap selections. A go-to space downtown.

Interesting space as with most places in Bailey Park/Coal Pit, but very cold and bleak compared to Black Mountain Chocolate just across the breezeway (but they are rarely open) AC needs some sound acoustics, softer furniture, softer music, more plants, color, or something. You got location down, but you don't have the right feel yet, imho. Easy fix with the right eye and the right lean towards good coffee shop atmosphere.

Update: While no one reached out, things have improved a great deal. Still could use some acoustic help, but at least they are open when they say they will be, have started having live music, and the coffee drinks are quite good. Customer service is friendly and accommodating. Revised to 4 stars.

I had a blueberry London fog with upcharge for the non dairy "milk" I can tolerate, AND they are dog friendly !

Decent lattes and spacious inside. Wanted to buy the whole beans but didn’t have a roast date marked.

Nice atmosphere, great coffee drinks and lots of options. Nice place for lunch and for work.

Excellent pour-overs. Mine was both fast and tasted great. I have visited a couple of times, and this is the only place I buy my beans from anymore.

Rude staff but can't blame them since it's always severely understaffed. Sandwiches are soggy and the coffee isn't good.

This is the coffee shop I definitely go to the most since it is in my work building. The coffee is quality and they have some really unique drinks on their seasonal menu. It is definitely worth stopping in!

Coffee was great. Music is too loud for a coffee shop. I asked the dude with tattoos bring it down a bit. He said okay but then just ignored it. If you want good coffee this is a decent place. But you wanna a chill and quiet place to get some work done probably better to go somewhere else.
