Higher Grounds Coffee Shoppe

201 New Market Centre #10, Boone, NC 28607
verified

their cold brew hits different when you're wandering through new market centre, especially if you catch it before the afternoon rush picks up. higher grounds coffee shoppe sits in that sweet spot where locals actually mean it when they say they're regulars. the espresso pulls clean and bright, none of that burnt-edge bitterness you get when places rush the shots. you'll notice how the conversation flows here, people settling in rather than grabbing and running. the drip coffee rotates through single origins that show off what good sourcing can do. mornings bring the commuter crowd, but afternoons slow down enough that you can actually taste what you're drinking. their pastries pair well with whatever you order, though the scones work particularly well with a cortado around 3pm.
