Welcome to Mountain Grounds

, the High Country region's finest coffee and tea shop. We are located in the Grandfather Center with easy access to Grandfather Mountain, Banner Elk, and two of the best ski resorts in the area, Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain. Mountain Grounds is a Western North Carolina style lodge coffee shop which offers a cozy atmosphere. After a long day of work, hiking, skiing, or shopping, we invite you to stop in and enjoy your favorite cup of coffee or tea while sitting by our fireplace. Vacationers can stay in touch with home using our free wireless internet service.

We have a fully trained staff of baristas who can guide you through our drink choices. Much of our menu consists of fair trade, organically grown coffees and we offer a large loose leaf tea selection. Frappes, blended creme's, espresso drinks and hot chocolate round out the menu.
We enjoyed a great summer at the coffee shop. Fall has arrived and winter is fast upon us. Please come by and join us for seasonal lattes, hot chocolate and a good cup of coffee.
Our frequent drink program rewards repeat customers with a free drink after filling our loyalty card. We are open seven days a week for your convenience and look forward to serving you soon.
