Arrived here mid-day on a Sunday at the recommendation of a friend in the area. This shop is in an…read moreold building in downtown, and the layout and decor is just inviting and beautiful. I was greeted promptly by both the delectable selection and the woman running the shop. The truffles and fudge are first to greet you with tantalizing flavors and colors. Then on to the sky high cupcakes and cakes along with plenty of flavors of gelato. The do not miss part is the cheesecake variety on the end. The rest are an appetizer and the cheesecakes are the mouthwatering main. All of it pairs nicely with a variety of coffees, shakes, floats, and Italian sodas. I come into town one or two times a year to visit family and friends, and I usually have my favorite places picked out to visit while here. The Gondolier is now on my list of must visits!

Their main selling points are gelatos which I been told is hand made in house and also their pastry…read morewhich is also handmade. Pastry is usually what I get because I can save it for later. Not too sweet, body is solid and dense. They do cut the slices kinda small and charge a lot. But I think it is worth it once a while for a cheat day. Barista/cashier provide very good service every time

This may be one of Statesville's best hidden gems…read more There is always plenty of seating. The lattes, matcha, and orange-cranberry pastries are amazing. Staff is always so friendly. You won't find this atmosphere in any coffee shop surrounded by a sea of asphalt. Lake Mountain doesn't have many pre-made drinks on the menu. You have to directly order what you want. If you didn't like the menu "latte" you ordered last time, then make sure to specify your order and choose what milk/flavors you want. My only gripe is that they charge for milk substitutes. I really hope this changes in the future.

Coffee and food were delicious and very reasonably priced! We ordered two of the seasonal drinks,…read morethe pumpkin pancake latte and witches brew. Pumpkin spice is such a common fall drink so it was nice to try something different. We also tried the chocolate chip muffin and chocolate cake, and both were amazing! If I went again, I think I might ask for them to be warmed up. They had many seating options on the first and second floor, with large tables for groups and smaller tables in a quieter area. They also had outdoor seating and it is located in a great area for walking.

The Coffee Lodge is a great place to go for coffee on the go or a spot to stay and work, or chat…read morewith friends over a snack and drink. The staff are friendly and helpful. They greet you upon entering the cafe with a smile. The selection of coffees and things to snack on is always super, with specials related to the time of the year. The Coffee Lodge provides a quiet spot for someone to bring a laptop and study or work. It has comfortable seating for people to enjoy the coffee and the food. There are also many things to purchase from local artisans from jewelry to clothing. Overall this is one of my favorite places to get coffee around. For its convenience, the best coffee, and the variety of seating and places to shop within the lodge, I give the Coffee Lodge a definite 5-Stars! I would go there with friends or family to enjoy a morning or afternoon coffee. I would go there to take my laptop and work for a while in a secluded corner while enjoying some delicious coffee. I would go there to shop for gifts to purchase locally made things. So many reasons I would go there, but the number one reason is for their delicious coffee! It stands out above the rest. I love getting it to go on the way to work or I love getting it to sit there with friends and chat in the morning away. No matter what I highly encourage you to visit the coffee lodge. And beware you may go there for a 15 minute chat and find yourself there for two hours. It is just that comfortable!

Similar flavors but both are very good in taste. The store was clean and organized 0 complaints. Will be visiting this location soon again if I come up here to statesville NC. Thanks again JOSH for the 5 start service! Came back in to check on the hemp drinks they had and Josh was awesome his customer service was amazing really knows what he's talking about very knowledgeable. Thanks again!! JOSH

Doors opened at 5am , right at 5am I walk in ask for the bear cup and she told me they don't have it and that them workers had boughten the glasses for themselves. Mind you there is 4 other people in line with me waiting for doors to open up at 5am to purchase this cup. I do not think it should be allowed for workers to purchase limited edition items first especially before the store is even open because it doesn't allow for guest to be able to purchase. And secondly she was just rude on top of it. Didn't welcome us guest in and just had attitude while talking.
