Espresso News

Great local Boone coffee shop located behind main street (a little hard to find). Love the vibe. Old building with lots of character. A lot of seating but very popular with students and locals so sometimes hard to find a place to park your bottom. The baked goods were excellent and I totally appreciated the vegan baked good options!!!! So many tea and brew options. The espresso drinks were very good, the espresso roast was rich, lots of froth. My sister has an almond milk mocha and I had a delicious oatmilk mocha. Many folks were studying or reading. The smells, the atmosphere, the low murmur of folks chatting made me want to hang all afternoon to chat with my sis, but we had a retreat waiting for us up the mountain so had to prematurely depart. Highly recommended. I sometimes stop friendly looking folks on the street to find the best coffee shops in town, and this one came highly recommended. I agree! I'll be back whenever I am in Boone!

smooth coffee with an amazing variety of flavors! fun speciality drinks and some pastries/tea as well. lots of seating available and a good vibe to study in

An established cafe tucked off Main Street behind mini mall. Tea selection is top notch. Bring your own stainless steel mug. Earl grey!! Coffee is amazing. Espresso pull is excellent. Drip is on point. Two visits in two days. Kenya, organic Guatemalan, or dark Sumatra were options, next day, organic Mexico, Brazil, + 1, sorry has to go since I was illegally parked one lot over. We also ordered white chocolate mocha in cafe which was delicious! 😋 Staff is friendly, talks to everyone, tons of regulars and mountaineers come through. Food options are pastries, such as blueberry muffin, cinnamon caramel scone, unimpressed. Be aware, small space, long lines, avoid peak times or get there earlier for a better experience. A staple in Boone, would return, highly recommend!

Favorite and best place to go in Boone. Very fair prices for high quality beans, and some of the best fresh cake, baked goods, soups, and coffee you can get in the South.

Stopped in to grab some coffee before hiking. It's slightly tricky to find because it's tucked back into an alcove off the street. Cool little place with an earthy vibe. It was busy when we went. The staff was very friendly. The only reason I give it a 4 was that the lattes we got didn't have much in the way of flavor. I really wanted to like it, but they were just okay. I did purchase some of their beans. I hope they will be better.

Espresso News is a very cute place tucked into Howard St, quick walk from App State’s campus. Reading the reviews, this is a very popular place; however I was underwhelmed by the clutter, the sense that I was a burden to the staff when I walked in, and the iced mocha I ordered. I would go back and try again the next time I’m in town to give it a second chance. Every place has off days, so hoping it was that!

Always a great spot to meet friends or have a date. Best coffee in Boone, love E News! ❣️

A small little coffee shop with great coffee! The wall of windows and plants made the shop feel a lot bigger than it was, but it still has space to hang out and study. They also use Monin syrup (rather than Torani) which is a huge plus for me.
