blue deer on king
352 W King St, Boone, NC
Crema's Take
“Tucked on King Street in Boone, this coffee shop has earned genuine affection from its community through both consistently excellent drinks and staff who treat every visitor like they're part of the family, whether you're stopping by the day after Christmas or just passing through town. Beyond their strong traditional espresso drinks, they're known for creative signature beverages like vanilla shakes with crumbled chocolate chip and intriguing seasonal offerings like iced dreamsicle lattes that show real experimentation. The late-opening hours and welcoming energy make it the kind of place where the baristas actually remember you and the pastry selection pairs perfectly with your perfectly-executed cup.”

Went the day after Christmas and the two ladies working were the most cordial, polite, and helpful that we met on any encounters at all the places we visited. The execution of our drinks were perfectly made. They seemed really happy to be their and would recommend blue deer to anyone.
Good coffee and service. Convenient location with ample parking. Thumbs up if you appreciate the comments/reviews provided to guide your decision and visit.
I have visited both blue deer in Blowing Rock & now this one on King in Boone. At this location, Luc was at the register and Lindsay made my vanilla shake with crumbled chocolate chip. She took the time to get it right. Both employees were nice, too! While I love their ice cream which is sourced from Homeland Creamery in Julian, NC—I did ask where they get the baked goods & it’s actually US Goods, from my understanding. I would love for them to source local cookies & baked goods to use in their ice creams. It would elevate the experience! I did find out the bagels are local, that’s a plus for me! BTW, our son enjoys their coffee and the upper levels to occasionally get his projects and reading done for App State. I do highly recommend Blue Deer! If you can, go up and sit way up high and get the views! Happy Exploring 📍
Thank you Amelia and Sage! Being there on a major holiday with such a great energy and enthusiastic hospitality. The experience was so great I had to leave a review. Thank you again for the cookies and cream ice cream sandwich and the good vibes.
Another nice coffee shop. I stopped here on the way out of Boone for a coffee for the road. I ordered an iced dreamsicle (orange) latte. It was definitely interesting, probably not my favorite but not bad by any means. A bit steep ($7) after tip, but I guess you can't really even get a hot drip anywhere for less than $4 so I can't complain too much! The shop itself is really clean and cozy, there is an upstairs area too where I sat for a bit while enjoying the first few sips and watching passersby on the main street below., I think next time I would try a different flavor and definitely get a cookie and/or ice cream.
