We drove from Blowing Rock down Globe Rd. which took about an hour, to hike Harper Creek Falls. Afterwards we stopped by Coffey's to get something to drink and a few snacks. The Store-Museum is fabulous to wander through with all the history we wanted to spend more time but is was in between heavy rain storms and we felt a little rushed to beat the crazy storms. But the lady working the counter who makes the wonderful bread was a blast to talk to. So incredibly sorry that I don't remember her name! We definitely have to go back because my husband wanted the praline bread and mistakenly picked up the pistachio but he loved it! Oh and I want to try her famous strawberry rhubarb jelly. Great store highly recommend taking the beautiful drive out...
