    I support local when possible and Coffee on the Rocks was a nice find after our hike near Lake Lure. It's tight and probably very cozy and social when not social distancing. However, they also have seating on the patio and curbside and are nice dog friendly. We took our drinks on the road to enjoy on the ride back to Asheville. My Hot Brewed Coffee was a bit weak for my taste so next time I'll "rock it" (Coffee Rocked) with a shot of espresso. Better yet, I'll order the Americano. My partner enjoyed his cappuccino. We'll back back. Thanks, and stay safe!

    We were so happy to discover this quaint coffee shop. I wish we could've gone again while on our brief weekend getaway, but we enjoyed our cold coffee blended treats.

    Awesome people and the best coffee! Very close to the entrance to chimney rock and there is a pathway beside the shop for easy access to the creek. Cutest little shop and you can get old time pictures done in the old western style.

    Decent latte. Most pastries were plastic wrapped. Scones seemed day-old. Apple fritter was good.

    Great coffee. Better conversation. This guy is a hoot and his wife knows how to make a real latte.

    I have been wanting to try a banana pudding latte since I first heard about them recently. I…read morethought the concept sounded a little weird, but when I saw it on the special menu here, I had to go for it. I was NOT disappointed! The banana flavor was spot on, like a true banana. Not like the typical artificial banana flavoring you'd find in a candy. It was sweetened just enough and topped with little vanilla wafer pieces. We were only inside for a short period of time, but this was a really cute place with comfy seating and a calm, quiet vibe. Staff were friendly and efficient. The only thing that could have made my drink better would have been more ice, but then I would have less of my delicious beverage, so I can't really complain.

    Dripolator Coffeehouse was exactly the kind of Sunday morning stop we needed as we rolled east out…read moreof Asheville. Yelp pointed us here and as usual, the algorithm absolutely nailed it. We arrived at around 7:15 am and were greeted by two regulars hanging out front with their dogs, which meant that Mrs. K. got her morning dog fix before we even made it inside. That set a great tone for a good day. The welcome inside was warm in the small town way that feels genuine instead of forced, just easy smiles and a quick hello as I ordered. It was rather quiet when we arrived but the folks seemed to start pouring in as we sipped our coffees. My cortado was excellent even if it was in a paper cup. Mrs. K. was happy with her latte which is the proper test. We lingered a bit, enjoying the quiet and watching Black Mountain wake up around us before getting back on the road. A great little stop just off I-40 and a perfect start for the day. Five stars! [Review 540 of 2026 - 4635 in North Carolina - 25722 overall]
