I visited this cute coffee shop right after lunch. I was bummed that I was too full to even…read moresqueeze in a small drink. They had plenty of drink options. There is plenty of merchandise in the store that you may find something for yourself or as a small gift. From jewelry, coffees, teas, honey, cups etc.. There is seating throughout the shop to enjoy your drink. It really is a cozy place. You get that feeling once you walk into the place. I did purchase two little bags of coffee and bag of chocolate covered coffee beans as gifts. The service at the counter was very friendly even though it got quite busy. If I'm visiting my friends in NC again, I would want to make it a point to stop here again. I'm sure they would happily bring me here again since it is one their fave coffee spots. There is only street parking in front of the store and not too far away is a parking lot. Come give them a try!

Taste Full Beans is a longstanding staple in the small but growing town of Hickory. It is located…read moredowntown so parking can be a miss on the weekends, but it should be fine on the weekdays. The coffee house itself is quite cozy and charming inside with a lot of warm lighting. A bit small inside, but there is some seating available. There are a lot of items on their menu, especially for the coffees and teas. I thought the service was friendly and efficient. I got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and the Egg & Cheese Sandwich. I knew when I saw how pale the Vietnamese Iced Coffee looked that it was not going to be typical, haha. It definitely tastes sweeter than usual and not very strong at all, and the latter is what Vietnamese Iced Coffee is known for. I did not mind the sweeter taste too much although I wish it was a bit stronger and darker (in color). As for the Egg & Cheese Sandwich, I got it on a croissant which was flaky. While the eggs were quite fluffy, I felt like they needed some salt and pepper although perhaps I was supposed to add that on my own. I think I would rate Taste Full Beans a 3.75/5 stars if I could. The drink and food I got were just alright. I would come back and try the other items on their vast menu!

My most recent favorite flavor is tiramisu I always get half the flavor pumps because I don't want it overly sweet I really want to enjoy the coffee flavor. They make it super hot so you can enjoy it and don't have to worry about it getting cold before you finish. Highly recommend getting before you start shopping and then you can enjoy while you browse.

Large, fluffy, incredible flavor-and such nice folks working there! The place itself is suited more for takeout but we snagged a table to snack. We got a plain glazed (delicious base, so fluffy and glaze that was perfectly applied), a pumpkin spice (not a hit you over the head spice-delicious!) and a pumpkin cream filled-omg this one. It was still a little warm! The donuts themselves were extremely light: as my husband said, pushed to the limits without collapsing. Worth the stop, get here early! Huge line by the time we left!

He said they've had some issues with staffing and he said will start keeping regular hours. the last three times my wife and I have stopped to pick up some donuts there has been a note on the door. The notes always say sorry will be here late or sorry we ran out of food or sorry we had better things to do then run our store. In the short amount of time it took me to turn around in the parking lot this morning two other cars pulled in and had to turn around because the store wasn't open. The donuts are good, but I would not take the chance of driving out of my way to get them. Plan your trip to go someplace else. You'll be happy that you did.

Right now you will experience warming service and great food and drinks. No problem with parking and price is very affordable for freshly cook food and bread.

I am still surprise this exist in a small town. Love that they refurbish the use of old buildings. Sitting area is huge for a cafe, I think they host small gatherings sometimes which make sense. Downtown Catawba is very small but does provide a comfortable feeling. We'll see what happens in 10 year.
