Charming coffee shop with character. When you walk in, there's a narrow pathway towards the counter…read moreto order. There's menus on the wall in the hallway and at the counter. Very accessible. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. They have really fun decor, good lighting, trinkets and gifts to purchase, and different little spots to dine in, e.g., a small couch area, traditional table seating, a seat/bench by the window, and outdoor patio seating. It provides both a small, intimate setting but also a lot of room and space for groups of 3-4. I'm from California and was visiting family for a bit. Wanted to find a local coffee shop to work from. We came here about 10 years ago. Super happy this coffee shop is still around. Still has really good character, warm vibe, and employees were super welcoming to us. Grabbed a cold brew with foam, a mango/pineapple smoothie, a cookie (they gave us a second because one accidentally broke, kind gesture), a blueberry muffin, and a carrot muffin. Everything was great. That carrot muffin was the bomb. The cold brew was really good too. Classic caffeine kick, bold flavor as usual, and can really taste the fruit notes. I came back the next day to work. It was busy but there's still room to dine in and the team still got through the orders efficiently. For how busy it was, I didn't wait too long to order and get what I needed. Definitely overstayed my time but really needed a nice spot to work from. There's a lot of seating inside and out, but it gets pretty packed during lunch time. Was willing to give up my seat if needed. The staff consistently cleaned tables and seats and kind enough to just allow me to work despite my long stay. I went back to order a chai latte and the bagel and lox. The chai is unsweetened so I added their chai syrup. If you want it sweeter, probably add a bit more. I didn't mind their chai as is. Still good and getting all the spice notes after a cold brew was refreshing. The bagel and lox was phenomenal. I had to be proper and eat it like a civilized adult human being... but would've totally devoured it in seconds with my bare fingers if I was in the privacy of my home. Would come back.

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!

Tried a couple cookies the Dubai and the biscoff. The biscoff I actually preferred. The Dubai was like a a super decadent brownie cookie. I couldn't taste the pistachio as much although I could see it was there. The family serving were really nice and helpful. Made the fruit tea with less sweetness and it was perfect when we asked for it. A bit spendy but may splurge once in a while for an item.

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. Breakfast English muffin is $5.50, Mcmuffin is $3.50. The $2 difference is worth it. bigger size, fresh, healthier. If I liven nearby I probably will come everyday. 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.

Soft and flavorful eggs, perfect coffee, addictive hashbrown casserole, delicious bacon.. just amazing. They did forget the syrup in my latte :(, but it was good nonetheless.

Highly recommend breakfast at Cupcrazed if you're looking for a peaceful location and yummy start to your day.
