    Drinks were delicious - got the Apricot Tea and the Black and Blueberry Iced Latte. Locally brewed coffee- it was great. The service was fast and friendly and the place was clean and decorated very nicely!

    Specialty coffee menu

    Very precious cafe in the heart of Erwin Tennessee. I ordered the midsummer latte and it was a bit underwhelming (lacked flavor) but the food variety was great, as well as flavor variety for coffees. Plenty of merch was available, indoor and outdoor seating, and staff was smiling and friendly. Will return to try another cup of Joe!

    Great ambiance! Love their updated "cozy corner"! My kids loved reviewing all of the little kid books

    Section Sandwich
    Carolyn C.

    Driving from Asheville to Baltimore screams a need for coffee (multiple stops). Luckily, we popped into Steel Rails Coffee House and grabbed some tasty liquid caffeine and an AMAZING breakfast sandwich! I got a hot cappuccino with cinnamon and honey. The breakfast sandwich I ordered was the Section Sandwich--SO good! The "special house sauce" made this YUMMY! The first bite was so good, I couldn't stop devouring it even though I burnt the roof of my mouth from it being freshly put together!

    Food is great, coffee is AMAZING! And it is a nice, calm little shop. Definitely worth the stop.

    Great local coffee shop. Friendly employees. I just wish they had a drive thru but at least they offer drive-up service.

    Pretty good coffee and a comfortable atmosphere for downtown Erwin. Priced to compete with New York City.

    We happened to be lucky enough to be spending a couple of days close to this gem of a coffee shop…read more We stopped in the first day because I heard someone in the lobby of hotel mention she was enjoying a Peanut Butter & Jelly Latte from the shop nearby. We walked over and we were so glad we did! By PB&J Iced Latte was so good! The cold foam on top was so yummy and the drink really did taste like a PB&J. The Iced Chai was also delish! It was spicy and not overly sweet. We stopped by before we left town the next day - for one more PB&J Latte, another Chai as well as the Blackberry Lemonade and a few baked treats for the road. The Blackberry Lemonade was a fun drink - icey and refreshing! (It was pretty sweet, but also tart - really good) The staff were SO welcoming (especially the sweetest baby ever at the register ) Everyone behind the counter was smiling and actively working which is why our drinks were ready fairly quickly both days despite the crowd. The shop had fun little gifts and stickers which tempted us while we waited. We were happy to see so many Gluten Free treat options - they were all individually wrapped which made them even safer for our son with celiac. This is a great place - we will definitely stop in next time we are in the area!

    This is one of our favorite breakfast cafes in the Banner Elk area. We make it a point to stop here…read moreat least once when we're in high country. The husband and wife team do a fantastic job from top to bottom here. Coffees, teas and drinks galore with tons of variety. Every drink we've had has been fantastic. And the food options are plentiful as well. Not just your typical bakery items, but a full menu with savory options, wraps, bagels, sandwiches, you name it. My all time favorite here...the piled high turkey club on an everything bagel. You can't take small bites on this one. Full of flavor, fresh and delicious. If you have time, make a morning pit stop here. You won't regret it.
