First off, this place has a real coffee house vibe and feel. You feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. There is an assortment of artwork, a lending library, assorted coffee beans and teas leaves for purchase. A plus for atmosphere. On to the coffee. TFB is unstumpanle whe. It comes to flavor add ons. I will I use a picture of the mene to prove it. My wife likes sweet and spicy coffee so she tried the Killer Bee a honey and cayenne combo. She likes her coffee temp extra hot which is spotty in most places. Here they got it right. She loved her coffee. I went standard latte and found their coffee to be non bitter and smooth. It is not an overpowering brew it is bold without getting too acidic. Very satisfying. FYI their 12 oz has two shots, 16 oz has three and the 20 oz has four. Nothing to deduct for here. Terrific coffee house experience.

The employees/baristas there were also very polite. How can you NOT love Tasteful beans?

The lemon possum tail needed just a little more lemon flavor but otherwise the filling was very good and not greasy which I've had happen at other places before.

There's some seating if you want to sit and get a coffee. Overall pretty nice.

We put this on our list as the "place to go" for breakfast on our visit to Hickory. It is easy…read moreenough to find and seems like it had plenty of tables. We were seated but then it took a long time (maybe 5 minutes) for a server to come over. We ordered coffee and waters and then when the server came back we ordered our dishes. I wanted the Killer bisquits and sausage gravy and my wife ordered overnight oats. Just so you know they have a daily flavor choice and it took a few minutes for the server to find out what that day's flavor was. We waited for around 10 minutes talking and someone brought our dishes. My wife got her's fine and mine was something completely different. I told the person who brought it what I ordered and she said, yes that was not it. The server showed up again and said she was sorry about the "mix-up"...I don't know I am pretty clear when I order and something that has "killer and gravy" shouldn't be unclear. After more time passed the server came around again and said she would check to see what was going on....then came around again to say "it's still not here?" No, it was not there or I would be eating it. After I want to say around 15 minutes passed I finally got the food and had to chow it down because we needed to be someplace before the rain was going to start. But then the server came over and said to my wife (not me), I took the dish off you didn't order. Really, you took the dish off I dish I didn't order and charged me FULL price for the order I did and then no further discount....how nice of you. There was no manager to be seen or I would have said something then, but then my wife said don't, so I didn't and now this is the review that the Frothy Rooster gets because the server needed a clue and then did not do anything except make a good breakfast bad. If any management wants to contact me about this experience feel free to do so.

Food was delicious, very trendy nice breakfast place in Hickory…read more My peanut butter chocolate overnight oats was so decadent. My husband really enjoyed his killer sausage and biscuit dish. Would have given it five stars but the service from our waitress was just so bad. She took forever to bring us coffee, we can forgive that no problem, but she wasn't really listening when my husband was ordering and brought him the wrong dish. Then she told him "Well, it's because we have two dishes called killer" , he made it very clear though that he wanted the sausage biscuit one, not the pancake one. We understand that too, but the problem was that we had to wait a long long time for them to bring the right dish to him. Then at the end she brought over the Bill and made a weird point that she didn't charge us for the wrong dish... Wow really? thank you for not charging us for the wrong dish! I think maybe she's new to waitressing. Anyway, it put a damper on our experience there. But weirdly, I would still recommend this place to people, just based on the food.
