Love the coffee here, I usually get the salted caramel latte. I like that you can call ahead to place the order if you're passing through quickly. read more

Lukewarm latte. Cappuccino was okay, nothing to write home about. The environment had promise but the employees seemed very hesitant to interact with customers or do much at all. If I lived in the area, would I go there? Perhaps, as I think there might be nothing else there for good coffee. read more

Best mocha I have ever had, and I'm a connoisseur. Dark chocolate, not overly sweet, delicious. My mom got the chai and exclaimed "this is delicious!" after her first sip. And it was! Definitely worth going if you like coffee or happen to find yourself in Canton. Didn't try any pastries, but definitely will next time. Ambiance is cool coffeeshop vibe, kinda punky and cozy. I dug it! read more

Heaven for a coffee nerd. Staff knows what they are talking about when it comes to the beans the source, the pallet of the coffee, and everything else. Bold statement: favorite coffee shop in the Asheville area.. read more

Delicious latte and pastries. Staff was really nice. This coffee shop is so cozy and cute.

I love paper town! I wish they had more space but I understand that isn't their fault and it's not a big issue either. I love taking my friends from out of town to visit here read more

Nice little local coffeeshop. Really good espresso drinks and nice baked goods. The decor is just right. My 4 shot breve latte make with heavy whipping cream was smooth, yet robust and really flavorful. The coffee cake was delicious. If you're looking for a decent coffeeshop and are more or less in the neighborhood... take the time to find this little gem. read more

We were very impressed by the coffee and food here. I got a veggie, egg, and cheese burrito and it was excellent. My wife's burrito with bacon was good too. The coffee was exceptional. My wife's cortado was complete with latte art. I ordered a pour over and got to choose from a menu of light roast options. The barista was friendly, and recommended a coffee that had some of the fruitiest smells and flavors I've had in a cup of coffee. Delicious. We will be back! read more

best coffee shop ever!! Love the small reading nook, friendly staff, great food and the coffee.... Papertown Coffee is a must stop when I'm close by. read more

We stopped by on a Thursday morning to see if they had any matcha for the continuation of our road-trip, they did :) I ended up getting a light ice, vanilla bean, oatmilk, matcha latte. The matcha tasted SO good. I should've asked them which brand they used because I don't want it, I need it again. & my partner got a hot vanilla bean cappuccino, which was also very very LOVED & tasted soft & settle but still flavorful. They had a couple of breakfast food options that looked appetizing, but I didn't see anything gluten free so I passed this time. The employees were kind, & the space was clean, cozy, and comfortable. I loved the way it was decorated (especially the string lighting) & the little book nook was my absolute favorite. Their bathrooms smell nice, are clean, & have nice hand soap, lol. a win win win. They also had a great variety in terms of their merch, we ended buying a shirt (that is now a top favorite) & some cute stickers, which were all priced very fairly, bc the quality is amazing. Our experience within the shop was pretty quick, but within that short time we had a great taste of the small downtown + it's community. I will be back, even if it's just for the matcha read more

Outstanding drinks. Yummy food too. Nice vibes. Will stop through again This is a great find in an unassuming location. Well done, Papertown! read more

This is an easy curbside stop. They take orders by phone and you just pull up. Or, you can park and they have a counter outside the front door. Menu is posted on the side window. I got a four shot latte in 16 ounce cup. The espresso they use is smooth, not acidic, and a bit malty. It was not bitter to me. I like bitter but I respect other beans and roasters. The wrap was mushy and doughy. I think it was the gooey American cheese. I will try something different next time. Yes, I will stop again. I want to see what their cinnamon role is like! read more

Fantastic coffee with dairy alternatives. They also have great pastries and wraps. I was also excited to see the vegan options. Lizz and Russ were very kind and helpful. It's such a cute shop and has a nice library cove! read more

First of all, I'm horribly disappointed that Yelp decided that Papertown's page was a good place to stick a Starbucks ad. Simply put, there's no comparison between the two and if you're still getting your coffee fix in Canton at the Ingles Starbucks while this place is open, then you're doing it wrong. First, the atmosphere. If you're unfamiliar with the history of the building, it has been host to several other types of businesses throughout the years - from the local Canton newspaper (The Enterprise) to more recently a barbershop. While I never saw the newspaper's office, I can say with certainty that the barbershop did not capture the charm and history of this space like Papertown Coffee does. From the refinished original wood floors to the reclaimed ceiling tiles that were used on the mod bar, they really did a lot to preserve the history, but also make a very functional coffee shop out of such a small space. Add into that the locally made furniture (literally, two doors down) and you have a great space to chill out and grab a cup of coffee or five. But, while the space is important, you're here for the coffee - and you will not be disappointed. The syrups that they use all appear to be homemade (I say "appear" only because my basic ass has found my two favorites and I'm an extreme creature of habit, so I haven't tried all of them) and their hazelnut is one of the best that I have had, hands down. Pro-tip - get the lavender and honey syrup with a touch of cinnamon, it's fantastic (and now you know my two favorites). For those that just prefer coffee, they also stock drip (rotating in different roasters and styles) in decaf and regular as well as cold brew and nitro brew. If I'm going with standard coffee, I usually opt for one of their pour overs. Coffee isn't everything here - they also stock some excellent locally sourced pastries and other baked goods as well as ice cream from The Hop. Notice the theme? Local, local, local. Simply put, this is one of the best things to happen to our small town in a long time. It is great to see a business that exudes care for quality and sustainability in our town, to see owners truly invested in their craft and the community, and finally, to know that something like this is possible in Canton. This coffee shop represents a lot more than just a great place to get coffee, it is a bellwether moment for Canton - a chance to show that high quality and a focus on locally-sourced items can succeed in this town. read more

Good coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Easy walk if you are close to downtown. Had coffee from here several times when in the area

A great little shop to have some coffee and a croissant. I had the almond croissant and an iced salted caramel latte. Omg did it hit the spot. Very friendly staff. It was so cute and quiet inside the shop I can't wait to go back and try something else. read more

We stopped in Papertown Coffee on a camping road trip through North Carolina, and I cannot recommend it more. I had a chicken salad sandwich and an earl grey tea (at the recommendation of the amazing staff). I brought my laptop in so that I could check emails, etc and was happy to find they had free very fast wifi, plenty of outlets, and a cute little nook to sit in. The prices are amazing, the sandwich was shockingly big, super fresh, the tea presentation was beautiful. I actually also bought a box of their lavender limoncello tea as well and it is now my favorite tea in rotation. Can't wait to go back! read more

Having just moved to the area we searched for our new coffee home, one that is a quick stop on a Sunday morning - given that Papertown is basically the only coffee shop within miles, it's a wonderful thing that its QUALITY. My go to is always iced honey lavender with oat milk... when I find a place that carries it, it gives me joy. It was so good - on par with the original spot I found my HLwOM, Liberty coffee house off Merrimon - but that is 30 minutes away. They have seasonal flavors and hubs got the blueberry ginger and was very impressed (which is difficult at times). Happy that Canton got an awesome coffee shop on par with some Asheville spots. Now if only Covid would let me actually sit and visit inside the shop and enjoy my iced latte. read more

I can't say enough great things about this establishment & its owners. First of all, the coffee is standout: the owners trained in Seattle, & know their stuff. You could just enjoy the coffee & move on, or you can take a coffee "mini-course" every time you go. Liz and Russ renovated the store themselves. And they make each cup of java themselves. They carefully choose the particular bean and there are many brew options. My personal favorite is their Nitro brew, which reminds me of fresh Guinness I had in pubs in Ireland. Next, and just as important to me... Papertown is a throwback to when businesses cared about their product, their community, & their customers. Each time I go, I leave feeling reassured that the world is not such a bad place. read more

I had my doubts about this place, but the food was actually very good and seemed to be cooked/prepared to order, which is always a plus. The owner was very friendly as was the young waitress. It is very simple on the inside, kind of like a school cafeteria, but was very clean. read more

Very calm and inviting coffee shop. Super friendly service and amazing coffee. We have a Breville Barista touch at home and it don't compare to how delicious Papertowns Coffee is. At least one member of my family visits weekly. read more

I saw this place next to my hair salon and coffee... uh yes please. Well the guy who took my order was very nice and helpful as well as the girl who brought out my coffee , I ordered a salted Carmel latte.... omg so good best coffee I've had in a minute... starbucks and Dunkin' are no comparison like enough that I haven't reviewed in awhile and I felt the need to review. :) I wish I took a picture of the top before I started drinking it, it was cute even through my Togo lid:) read more

Wanted an amazing cuppa coffee (After we left our hotel in Asheville NC)....so we pulled into Canton NC....It's within the Quaint town.....Full of character. The coffee combination was amazing the service was excellent and the chocolate croissants and blueberry muffins were beyond reproach.... I give them the five yummy award. Oh To be placed within the historic town was an outstanding idea for this unique coffee shop...BRAVO read more

Papertown Coffee - Muffin of the day (lemon blueberry) and an iced latte with vanilla and cinnamon. My favorite combo! :) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Canton, North Carolina

I absolutely love this place. Great coffee, great service and a great vibe. It has a very welcoming energy.

My oat milk latte with house-made vanilla syrup was AMAZING. Food was pretty good too, my sister loved the sausage, egg, and cheese wrap, and my strawberry muffin was really good! I ordered through the Joe Coffee app and my order was ready within 5 minutes! I waited on the sidewalk and they handed out the food and drinks. read more

They sell THE best milkshakes and the inside is super cute! I highly recommend for little dates or just hanging out with friends!

Ordered takeout coffee and sandwiches on my way to hiking in Shining Rock. Tasty coffee and food (their house made syrups are ). I'm a coffee snob and they exceeded expectations. Service was impeccable. They brought everything to the car with masks on. read more

The best coffee and coffee shop owners you'll encounter in a 50-mile radius. A true gem that was needed in our small town.

We stopped in on a trip to Canton and I'm glad we did! The shop is so cute and they had almond milk!

This is the best thing to happen to Canton. This coffee shop is the cutest thing and their coffee is amazing. My boyfriend got the nitro and said it was the best one he has ever had. The owners are so nice and the second time I went in they even recognized me and asked me about something we talked about when I was in the week before. Everyone definitely needs to try it. read more

I love that I can now order ahead. I'm always running behind and being able to pop in and pop out on my way to work is fantastic. Coffee is always delicious, hot lattes are always the perfect temp and texture, and the staff is always friendly. Great little cafe with yummy bars, wraps, and bagels also! read more

Delicious coffee and wonderful customer service. Well worth the mile and a half to drive from the highway. For for coffee lovers who appreciate a good roast I know that cappuccinos truly come in an 8 ounce serving, this is the place for you. read more

The best cappuccino I have ever tasted, probably because they had the highest quality espresso and steaming setup I have ever witnessed.

Traveling back home and stopped for coffee. The coffee is great. My wife ordered a latte with homemade vanilla bean syrup. Absolutely amazing. I moved from AZ to N.C. over 7 years ago: I had the best breakfast burrito since I left the southwest. My wife ordered a breakfast wrap that was phenomenal. Friendly staff and great decor. read more
