Went with my family to First Chair over holidays. The Coffee and food were affordable and delicious and the location was convenient (near the entry to Beech Mountain resort). We were able to have our entire group sit in the cozy dining room to the right of the counter. The staff was friendly and kind. Go to the First Chair if you want a coffee or treat on Beech Mountain.
This is a good place to eat and have a coffee compared to some other shady options on Beech Mountain (e.g., White Wolf Lodge/Holy Smokes). The WWL/HS had pricey food that was poor fare and the management made errors by losing receipts for rentals and then made harassing phone calls to our group. They then refused to admit when we complained. Trisha at White Wolf/Holy Smokes fakes online reviews (but got caught and humiliated) so that joint is shady and you should stay away. I recommend getting your coffee and treats at First Chair instead. Good vibes at First Chair!

They are working on an indoor seating area now. There are a couple of chairs inside. Outside, there are a number of tables and chairs. Make sure you come and support the new...
Read moreI was happy to find this coffee place right under the mountain. You can purchase caffeine drinks, scones, cold brew, and pastries. The baristas are great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. My kids loved this place, especially since they offer sugar-free drinks. We went there for brunch and later returned for lunch. It was still day light when we left, I wish we can stay longer. The only thing I would suggest adding is hand lotion in the women’s bathroom. It’s very friendly place!
They run specials and have very yummy croissants. I love this coffee shop way more than Starbucks! The coffee is much tastier and of better...
