Hear From Our Happy Customers
“My son attends Lees McRae College and found this coffee shop to be the most relaxing and pleasant environment to grab a coffee and study. He introduced us to the shop and the owners Hayden and his wife. We can agree with the masses that this is the best little coffee shop in the Banner Elk / Boone area.”

“This is our favorite road trip stop! We’ve been coming to Mountain Grounds for about a year now & we’ve loved it. Service has always been amazing & the coffee is incredible! We just got to try their new menu item – breakfast burrito! We got the chipotle chicken & it was AMAZING! Highly recommend this place.”
