Groundhog Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Boone

This coffee shop is an absolute gem.

I spent about ninety minutes there, starting with a well-balanced cortado while mapping out my Friday drive to Asheville and watching the morning light slowly stretch across the street. The barista was kind, the coffee was spot-on, the seating was cozy, and the wifi held steady. Sitting in the back, watching folks drift in and out while I caught up online, made for a peaceful and productive...
