So as a «new, yet old» local [family has been in this area since 1790s] in this sleepy little part of the Western North Carolina mountains, I was happy to have a nice friendly little store that is along way both into Marshall or Hot Springs… depending upon which way you are going *grin*. Friendly folks… great coffee and even a few chairs to «chew the fat» with folks behind the counter as well as eye some of those yummy pastiers. I’ve been here a few times and always enjoy the«hello» as I come in as well as handed the entire container of half and half to pour as much as I want *grin*. I’m a fly fisherman as well, so an extra treat is the selection of flies to fish the stream that runs along right beside the store. A diamond in the rough of the Appalachian mountains you should patronize should you be in «my neck of the woods».
