Espresso News is the kind of coffee shop you’d expect to find in a coming-of-age movie. Their staff are always kind and quick with service, they play some great tunes, and you have two floors of indoor seating to choose from while you wait for your order. Oh, and if you’re looking for recommendations, I’d suggest their iced mochas 😉

A Boonie paradise. Perfectly executed coffee drinks, a fair amount of seating and ambience to spare. My favorite stop for a cup when I visit King street.

My favorite coffee shop in Boone. The coffee is well-priced, the environment is chill, and the location feels tucked away. The service is also quick and professional.

Excellent white chocolate mocha, mocha and a drip coffee. All were great, only to be out done by the best ever banana bread. Great, friendly efficient service. Nice atmosphere. Finding the place. and parking con be challenging.

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 excellent and I totally appreciated the vegan baked good options!!!! So many tea and brew options. The espresso drinks were very good, the espresso roast was rich, lots of froth. My sister has an almond milk mocha and I had a delicious oatmilk mocha. Many folks were studying or reading. The smells, the atmosphere, the low murmur of folks chatting made me want to hang all afternoon to chat with my sis, but we had a retreat waiting for us up the mountain so had to prematurely depart. Highly recommended. I sometimes stop friendly looking folks on the street to find the best coffee shops in town, and this one came highly recommended. I agree! I'll be back whenever I am in Boone!

Great place for a solid cup of coffee. Stopped on a Tuesday afternoon in early May. They were busy, but there was still a number of seats available inside and outside. My cafe mocha was very well made. The space is funky and comfortable. The prices were a good value too. Highly recommended.

I had a fantastic visit to Espresso News in Boone — a classic mountain-town coffee shop with real personality and seriously good drinks. At the recommendation of one of the knowledgeable baristas, I ordered the maple cardamom latte, and it absolutely delivered. The maple brought a warm, natural sweetness, while the cardamom added a subtle aromatic spice that made the whole drink feel layered and intentional. It was comforting without being heavy. That paired perfectly with a cinnamon orange white chocolate scone — bright citrus notes, gentle spice, and just enough sweetness from the white chocolate to tie it all together. The flavors played off the latte beautifully. I finished with an amaretto latte, which was strong on the nose with that classic almond aroma, yet surprisingly smooth and easy on the palate. Bold but balanced — a great way to end the visit. Great coffee, thoughtful flavor combinations, and baristas who know their craft. Espresso News is absolutely worth a stop when you’re in Boone.
