We love going in and sitting inside, there are plenty of comfortable seats and the staff are always so friendly! They have a typical barista glass across the space they make the drinks but I always love those because watching them make drinks is so fun and interesting! On top of that, the parking-lot and drive through are brilliantly designed. There is never any congestion! Make this a visit for you!

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!

Great service, coffee, lattes, smoothies, relaxed space for conversations or work. Recommended.read more

Stopped in for a to-go coffee from this cute coffee shop…read more I didn't think it was open at first because the open sign was not on but I'm glad I gave it a try. They had a wide variety of options and tons of seating options! The place is decorated in an inviting and cozy manner. I ordered the sweater weather winter coffee special. I got mine with oatmilk. Costs are comparable to Starbucks but the quality was way better AND it came with a delicious chocolate covered coffee bean. What a wonderful little coffee shop!

Highly recommend getting before you start shopping and then you can enjoy while you browse.

I stopped in recently to catch up with a friend over coffee and expected a relaxing atmosphere…read more Instead, multiple employees spent the afternoon playing videos out loud on their phones while working. In the middle of our conversation, one employee started watching videos at full volume. The sound was loud enough to compete with the music already playing in the shop. I asked if he could use headphones, and to his credit, he turned it off. Not long afterward, another employee started doing the exact same thing. This continued on and off for the next hour. I was honestly stunned by the lack of basic manners. I don't know who taught these people that it's acceptable to impose their personal cell phone audio on an entire room of paying customers, but it's behavior I'd expect from a small child, not from people representing a business.

Seems like many locals meet up there and chill with coffee. I ordered a brown sugar latte with oat milk - only $4! And I was blown away with how delicious it was!

I really like their iced latte (with little ice, per my request) with oat milk, which was rich, smooth, and refreshing. Addition of brown sugar was also incredible--not too sweet and adds a refreshing sweetness to the drink. Chai latte (hot) with oat milk was great too. London fog (iced) was okay though--I wouldn't recommend that one--but all espresso-based drinks are amazing.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Physicians Plan of Hickory!

They are always welcoming, kind, helpful, and genuinely happy to see you. Their warmth and professionalism make every visit such a positive experience, and they truly set Physicians Plan apart. And Jennifer--I absolutely adore her and genuinely look forward to seeing her each time! Her knowledge and professionalism are top-notch, but what makes her even more special is how personable and caring she is. She takes the time to listen, explain, and make you feel completely comfortable and confident in your care. Last, but certainly not least, Dr. DiOrio. There honestly isn't enough space in a review to say how incredible he is. He is the reason I originally began going to Physicians Plan, and I am so thankful that I did. He is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuine physicians I have ever met. He is truly an asset to the medical field. What stands out most about Dr. DiOrio is that he is one of those rare physicians who you can tell truly cares about his patients. He listens, he takes his time, and his knowledge and expertise are second to none. You never feel like just another appointment on the schedule. If you are looking for Botox, weight-loss services, facials, skincare, or simply a team that genuinely cares about helping you look and feel your best, Physicians Plan of Hickory is the place to go. The entire staff is exceptional, and the level of care and customer service is unmatched. Hands down, the best place in town. You will not be disappointed! -Laura Armstrong Barnes
