The Weeping Willow Cafe & Tap House

The place was wonderful and the staff was very friendly and helpful with everything. I enjoyed my experience.! I would give this place a ten on a one to ten scale !

This coffee shop is worth the hour drive from Wise, VA. I spent the day at the shop to prepare lesson plans and loved the open space downstairs and upstairs both to be able to get work done. I had two coffees throughout the day which were both reasonably priced, and tasted great. (Creme Brulee latte? Yes, please!) I even brought my family back two days later for coffee, dinner, and ice cream. The staff was extremely accommodating and the food was excellent.
The local made products were also well-presented and seemed to be great quality. I plan to buy from, and make the drive to, the Local lots throughout the upcoming semester and would recommend other college students do the same!

Great coffee and great people! Staff is wonderful, and my regular (iced almond milk latte) is always delicious. They are also extremely accommodating to my vegetarian diet and always offer good lunch options. I am a very happy frequent customer and have never experienced an issue!

This is literally the only place I will get coffee from when I don’t make it at home. Their frappes and lattes are good, not super sweet and burnt like a lot of coffee shops, but their pure coffee is fantastic. The French press coffee in particular is stellar. The atmosphere is cozy and they have a place for my kids to keep busy which is appreciated. Overall, one of the best coffee shops out there

We were traveling through to meet with some friends on our way to Gatlinburg and we absolutely loved the Local! Great coffee and really friendly and helpful staff. Go check it out, it’s definitely worth it. It’s also a great place to shop, so many unique gifts and things to enjoy. Just walking through the doors you can tell this place loves the community they live in and are trying to make a difference where they live and make their town even more beautiful!

Update: The owner took the initiative to find me and deliver a personal note regarding my previous experience and asked that I give them another try by including a card for a free coffee.
I was finally in the area again and stopped in.
The person working was super friendly and knowledgeable. The coffee was made fresh (with a smile) and tasted great.
The owner obviously cares and it really shows. Next time you're in the area be sure to check them out, grab a cup of coffee or check out the local wares for sale.

Original review:
Note: this is NOT a coffee shop.
The staff seemed as though it would be more convenient for them if they just closed. When I asked for a French press coffee, the response was that they were out. I saw fresh beans in the hopper and the press on the counter, but whatever. It was near noon, so I asked how recently the drip coffee had been made. Response: "when we opened this morning." I think that was around 7:30am. If I'm going to drink old coffee anyhow, I'll order it iced... It was ok, not worth the price.
Other people were ordering food, maybe that is good, I was only going in for coffee.

The chicken salad croissant was delicious along with the fresh fruit! Dakota can make an AWESOME strawberry lemonade slushie! Great people and service! I plan to visit them again!!

Very cute restaurant, very nice staff. Great food, highly recommend.

I agree with some others, why did our old coffee shop have to leave? I was actually at the local one day when someone brought in their drink that was just made. The customer was telling them that the drink was not drinkable. The owner happened to be there and actually got another straw and took a drink of the customers' drink herself. She agreed completely that the drink was unacceptable, but was nice enough to make a new one. We cannot always rely on the owner to be there for our coffee to be drinkable.

This is a wonderful new spot down here in southwest virginia! The staff was nice and friendly, the food and drink equally delicious. It's a nice little cozy setting that offers simple yet big flavors with a small town player
