Coyote Coffee Cafe - Pickens

Was excited to visit the new location and what a sad sorry disappointment. The only good thing about this place is just the place. No kitchen, no sandwiches anymore. The cheese danish was stale and dry. Double espresso mocha was weak at best. Sat inside and it wasn’t much warmer than outside on a cold January day. A huge mistake discontinuing sandwiches, McDonald’s is higher on my list and I don’t go there.

This looks like a really neat coffee shop! I was excited to try one of their drinks. Unfortunately, I went through the drive thru and no one helped me. I wondered if maybe I was at the wrong spot to order. I saw one of the employees look at me, but then walked away. Maybe I’ll give it another chance in the future.

6 employees are standing at the register, 3 muffins available to eat (seems like from Walmart), nothing to eat, coffee is awful, put it in a trash. You can have better coffee at the gas station

This particular location is within an older building in the city of Pickens. To that point even the bathrooms are referenced as "outhouse". However the food is very fresh. The tomatoes in my Buffalo Chicken Wrap (picture) were plump and juicy. The other ingredients were also very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised that the wrap was grilled in what may have been a panini press, which helped it hold its shape as the sandwich was consumed. Of course, this is a coffee house, so I diverged from my normal habit of just water for lunch and had a small cup of their Sumatra dark roast with just a touch of cream and sugar. The coffee was as expected, and maybe a little less bitter. The sandwich came with a bag of Lays chips, a dill pickle wedge wrapped in foil, and a side option. I tried their Grape Salad cup. This was a 4oz cup of seedless green grapes in a cream cheese and sour cream sauce with brown sugar sprinkled on top, and was very fresh and tasty. The view of the small town business area was nice from the very large windows. One could even see the Blue Ridge mountains in the distance. Most of the seating was metal chairs and stools painted in an aged style Tiffany blue with matching tables with hardwood tops. But there was one corner with very comfortable lounge seating next to the gas fireplace (picture). This would be a great place to have a hot drink while watching snow fall on the mountains, or whenever.

Excellent atmosphere and great food. Loved the environment there, great hospitality as well. Everything was perfect. We specially liked interior design. Food was awesome and very reasonably priced. Service was also top notch. Highly recommend if you're visiting this area.

I love the atmosphere of the coffee shop, so much so, that I had my baby shower there last fall. It made for the perfect, cozy, fall party with family and the friends. Staff was amazing and the coffee is every mama's dream on those super busy mornings!😊☕

This location does not have a kitchen or hot food, only muffins and pastries that can be warmed via microwave. Black coffee was good, better then Starbucks. Some of the pictures posted by others are from other locations that have a kitchen.

The coffee is great, and I love the atmosphere!
But I've ordered 4 different sandwiches now, and have been disappointed every single time. At least the food is a fair price, but very poor quality in my opinion.

The service and location were excellent, but the coffee wasn't amazing. It was a bit too sweet and the espresso didn't have a ton of flavor.

Excellent Coffee, Food and Service!
We had breakfast and lunch sandwiches, a cappuccino and a cup of regular coffee. Everything was absolutely Delicious and Fresh.
