Espresso News
267 Howard St, Boone, NC
Crema's Take
“Tucked away behind Boone's main street in a characterful old building, Espresso News pulls together serious espresso craftsmanship with genuine mountain-town charm that keeps locals and students coming back. The knowledgeable baristas clearly care about their craft, offering thoughtful recommendations whether you're after a traditional shot or one of their creative signature drinks, and the space strikes that rare balance of being busy and social without feeling rushed. With smooth, flavorful coffee, homemade pastries, and plenty of seating, it's become the kind of place where you can settle in for hours or grab something quick and feel equally at home.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Yes, I will be a Karen right now. I Barely leave reviews in general. And never negative ones. But I have to leave a review on the terrible customer service. If you aren’t a people person then don’t work at a customer service job. I went this past Sunday early afternoon and the…
Fun little tucked away coffee shop! Was so busy when we came, but the baristas were holding it together well. We got a blackberry Italian soda and it was so good. Seems like a popular place and would love to come try more things soon.
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…
