Adorable inside. Barista was sweet as can be. Bagel and mocha hit the spot!
A nice quaint place to stop for breakfast.
Excellent prices for excellent coffee. This coffee shop has an amazing selection of options and flavors. Unfortunately, there was only one worker when we were there, but it was worth the wait.
This is the cutest little coffee shop, Tucktaway in the mountains of North Carolina. Everything is extremely high quality, and the service is impeccable. If you are in the gorge, I highly recommend stopping and grabbing a baked goods of any kind because I have tried them all and they are all delicious And a coffee or tea
Amazing service and amazing coffee! Definitely try their Iced Caramel Latte, it’s the best I’ve ever had!!
Stopped for a latte for my husband. He said it was delicious.
Such great quality teas!! One of the best matcha lattes I've ever had. The mate was also delicious. The bagels are great, and come nicely toasted with LOTS of cream cheese on the side! Really great little spot. Will definitely go back every time we vacation on the river!
Nice vibe, always my family's favorite to visit when they come to town.
I was a bit surprised to find this gem of a coffee shop serving such excellent espresso! And overall, great menu selection. Super grateful this place exists. Visited about 5 times during my 12 day trip in the Nantahala. Can’t wait to go back!
Very beautiful atmosphere and just might have the best iced latte, bagel and cream cheese I’ve ever had! Thank you!
Love this place's decorum, seems only good place in the area for coffee and drinks.
Small place but very friendly! I recommend that if you are traveling through the area that you definitely make this coffee joint a stop along your way!!
Quaint coffee shop with unique hand crafted finds inside as well as handcrafted coffees/teas.
Great find and perfect timing when i was needing coffee
Súper cute little coffee shop with a beautiful mountain view. They have a lot of locally made products :) love the aesthetics of store. Their lattes are really good , I had a chai tea latte and was delicious! Great costumer service
Love this place! The ☕ is amazing!
The white chocolate cappuccino is amazing. And my daughter loves the hot chocolate.
Great coffee. Cool art and artisanal products. Nice atmosphere.
I pulled into cardinal coffee on a Friday, I have been driving for hours with my two-year-old daughter on our way home from visiting grandparents. I have been starting to fall asleep while driving so I was grateful to see the coffee shop. When I pulled up I saw a gentleman in a Black and white flannel shirt lock the door. I saw the sign that they close at 3 PM and I looked at my watch and it was 3 PM on the dot. It would have only taken a few minutes to make me a small cup of coffee so I could make it the rest of the way home. But instead he saw me with my daughter in my arms standing at the doorway and made the choice to do nothing. I’ve been sat in my car for 10 minutes explaining to my daughter the meaning of kindness and how sometimes in life things that may same as a hindrance to us could be a blessing for others. I have stopped at this coffee shop several times on this trip to and from my grandparents. But I won’t to stop any longer . Shame on you for locking the door and looking at me while you did it
This place is amazing! You come out of Nantahala Gorge and boom, there’s this awesome coffee shop. The coffee was fantastic, the owner very friendly, and the coffee shop is decorated so cool. Great atmosphere, definitely highly recommend stopping in here! I’ll be back for sure
