Working in the area this weekend and this is now the 3d day in a row I've had lunch here. The staff is amazing hands down. So warm and friendly. The food is amazing as well. The portions are a good size and the prices are extremely reasonable. The store is very cool too. Don't miss this place.

The food was amazing and you can't beat the price! I particularly like the French toast. The hot chocolate was delicious as well. Great little location above a little shop. The table was a little sticky, but when syrup is involved, that is to be expected .

Great little cafe upstairs to a gift shop. Food was good and staff was pleasant. We ordered the Harveys Melt and Beth's French Toast Stack, both were very good!The bathrooms are very clean too!

What a cute little café! My husband and I were traveling through and wanted a cup of coffee before we got back on the road. We were pleasantly surprised that we got to walk through an awesome general store on our way up to the café. My husband admired all the veteran shirts!The coffees were delicious. I got an iced coffee and my husband got a hot latte. Smooth and perfect for the road. There is ample seating inside on the second and third floor, as well as a patio outside on the first floor.There are also baked goods to bake at home and plenty of trinkets to buy on your way out at the general store.

Experience was great, Kristen is an awesome waitress. I don’t even like coffee and it was not too sweet or overpowering, so many delicious drinks. I highly recommend the BCR Quesadilla and iced chai. Anyone stopping in Morganton should come by for a quick bite!

This was the perfect little spot for our after church brunch. The food was delish, the service was absolutely warm, inviting and friendly. Great little gift shop for yourself or someone else. Has that big city, small town vibe going on! I can't wait for our next brunch.
