Coffee Shops near Valdese

“Fantastic food, we had the nachos! The service is also top notch with super friendly staff that truly seemed like they enjoyed working there- you don’t see much of that at other places anymore! The specialty coffee drinks menu is also fantastic, I wish I would’ve remembered to take a picture to share it. Thanks for a great lunch (and coffees to go) today!“

“Food was real good and service was great too, they were nice and friendly...p.s. It was nice to meet the lady at the window because she was able to read my tattoo which is in Greek.#116Unashamed#116Ανεπαίσχυντος (Anepaíschyntos)“

“The best BBQ restaurant in Lenoir… scratch that…. the best restaurant in Lenoir. This place is freakin nuts. It’s not every day you find the highest quality, biggest portions and best price all in one spot. I’ve tried just about everything, but the BBQ dogs just changed my life. Put that bbq mustard on top and whooooo! I’d eat that off a flip flop. My family makes it a point to eat here at least bi-monthly. Do yourself a solid and go to JDs. Like right now. Go. Now.“

“I am going to be honest, I have not purchased anything from here YET... I can just tell you from the photos I'm already hooked. I will be there with bells on... I am a GM. at a restaurant close by and I can not wait to tell all of my employees/coworkers about this place too.“

“Came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We were able to order quickly, but the food does take a little while to be served. They have a lot of nice comfy places to eat both inside and out back I have a chuchitos, a tamalito, and an oatmeal drink. The chuchitos were essentially mini tamales. They have chicken and a red tomatoey salsa. I enjoyed them and if you're a tamale person think they're a good option. I wish they had some other varieties. The tamalito was a mini sweet corn tamale, with no filling. I'd personally skip on this one if I were to do my meal over, fairly one note flavor wise. The oatmeal drink was super thick, to the point you could justify using a spoon, and very cinnamony. I could see this hitting the spot on a chilly winter day. It reminded me a bit of an atole, but the texture wasn't super my jam. Overall, I think this is a solid option if you find yourself in the area. The prices are reasonable, and there are plenty of options. I was torn between 3 and 4 stars, if I were in/closer to a major city I'd have dropped them down to 3, but considering the area and how cozy the place was I think it's a more worthwhile stop“

“Lindsey knows her coffee! The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Clean environment, attentive staff, and exceptional coffee! I had the Carmel machiato hot, with so many options that I can not remember them all. :) It was the best coffee I have ever had! If you are in the area, stop by and try any of the offerings, I am sure you will be pleased.“

“My husband and I stopped by for the first time and went to the drive through. There's not a menu on the right side of the building but the ladies gave us a paper menu and were super helpful while we decided what to order. Service was quick, the ladies were very friendly and the coffees were great, we will definitely be back!“

“The owner Bri is Amazing and so is her staff... They are helpful and full of suggestion to help you get the right choice for your taste ... I Love the French Toast Ice Coffee, my first choice of recommendation. Can't wait to revisit!!!“

“I come here all the time! Delicious flavors of yogurt, amazing array of toppings, the new owner is very nice also. Staff is always so sweet to me when I come in, they are always in good moods which is very nice. Highly recommend this establishment!! If you want the best choice of toppings come earlier in the day. Because at the end of the day, toppings become slimmed down and sometimes some of the yogurt machines empty by then, but, after working at a few yogurt shops myself, I can say, this is normal and I totally understand!“

“Ate there a couple days ago and it was fantastic! The food was made to perfection. Everything looked appetizing. It wasn’t just thrown on the plate. You could really tell that the cook takes pride in the food he puts out. The wait staff was delightful and the place was clean as a whistle. Not to mention the prices! Very affordable. I have to say what I experienced the other day was a far cry from the last time I ate there a couple months ago. It’s like a totally different place. I work out of town a lot but when I’m home this will be my regular spot from now on. Good job Sawmills Cafe. You’ve earned a loyal customer.“

“Came in because we saw the sign out door after leaving Limbertwig cafe(wasn't interested) . Looked around the store, and husband found the Guatemalan coffee. Got lunch, and it was really good. *Our first time eating here.* husband got the Ruben, side salad w/ chicken, and I got the Turkey BLT as a sandwich on wheat w/ side salad. Everything was great ?, portioned well, and fulfilling. Afterwards, we got a couple of scones. Blueberry lemon and Apple Pecan, both of which was good. Will come again.“

“I have tried a couple of different breakfasts here, and they are all great. When you get it to go, they make sure you have all the condiments you will need! I think my favorite is the pancakes, eggs and bacon. The price is fair, and they make it when you order it so be prepared to wait just a bit while it cooks. If you have not been here yet, I would definitely give it a try.“

“There are so many different kinds of bread it's impossible to tell of the taste so I asked the cashier and she was most helpful. The things that look like mini apple pies are really good because they are barely sweet at all and you can really taste the Apple. The custard jelly donut things are also very good. I also like the flat sugar cookies I imagine they would be really good dipped in coffee in the morning! They also had tamales and something I think it was called a cucharito? Anyway it was like a tamale but it had chicken and a sauce on the inside and was only a 1.50 each. I love little ethnic shops like this, they add a lot of character to the town!“

“Hi. Just passing through the area we decided to skip the standard expressway exit restaurants and visit the town even though it was about 5 miles away. This place stretched our comfort zone for sure. Not very big, dirty dishes filled the standard restaurant used dish receptacle and garbage for paper waste was full. I guess we forgot that cafe means you are mostly on your own. Anyway my Reuben was good and big, my wife's grilled cheese was pretty good. It was almost closing time when we entered, 1:45 so maybe that explains the piled dirty dishes and full garbage. I will say it was interesting.“
