What a quaint coffeehouse! Loved walking there in the morning and taking in the Mountain View's. The food was good (the stuffed croissant was on point) and the coffee was delicious! Next trip to Black Mountain, I will stop in again!

Great place. Great coffee. Great croissant. The place was hopping and the service was efficient.

Very cool coffeehouse near the center of downtown Black Mountain with a nice lounge area of leather modern cushy seats and other table seating to do work, collaborate with people, or just engage in conversation. They have a lot of freshly baked goods and solid coffee drinks for order. For my money, the mocha frappe was cold, refreshing, and satisfying that took me back to having the ice cream based drinks when I was a kid. This place is a knockout for good coffee and vibes.

If you read my reviews, you know I love LOCAL coffee shops and appreciate comfortable vibes, tasty food options and of course, great coffee. Check all the boxes Dripolator!

Was in town for a ladies retreat and stopped in for an afternoon pick me up. I didn't want anything too sweet, so I asked the barista's opinion. She recommended the killer bee, and it was perfect! Just sweet enough without being overpowering. I really liked the vibe of this shop. Super laid back and serves up a quality iced latte.

We love "the Drip!" If my wife and I are going out for coffee in Black Mtn, this is where we go. The coffee is always excellent, the staff are very friendly, and it's a great place to hang out or get work done. We love their specialty drinks. I like a hot mocha and my wife always gets an iced caramel latte with oat milk. Their baked goods are also great! Most are made fresh. We were there on Wednesday and watched the muffins being delivered by who I can only assume is the owner. If you need coffee, head over to the Dripolator now!

Cute coffee shop in the heart of the most adorable small town in America: Black Mountain. The shop was warm, homey and super chill. The coffee was perfect for the 30 degree weather. We had a cappuccino and Chaider (chai and apple cider). The espresso in the cappuccino was strong and had great flavor -- just how I like it. The Chaider was a seasonal drink and so glad we got it. The chai and cider was unexpectedly delicious. I would never have thought about combining these drinks, but the spices really worked well together.

Decided to give Dripolator another chance and had a much better experience than the last time I came. The lattes and baked goods were pretty good, although I wished that they had offered to warm them up prior to serving them. Still no almond milk sadly - but they do offer soy and oat milk as non dairy options. I am glad that I decided to give the Dripolator another chance!

Parking isn't too hard to get a spot at. Every time we visit we end up trying a new coffee shop and then this one. We threw away some local coffee from another place and immediately came here. Ordered the Ron Weasley special which I believe was orange mocha and it's incredible. The cinnamon honey latte is amazing and my husband loves the funky kinky frappe

Delightful little coffee spot that I thought I'd try but actually happen. So it was a nice surprise. Super cozy and busy inside. Probably because it was a weekend. They have some comfortable chairs and great seating arrangements that lead to the opportunity to work individually or meet with a small group. The coffee was incredibly fresh and delicious. I wish they had given me a discount for bringing my own cop, or at least rinsed mine out. It had a little residual coffee in it and could have used a quick cleanse. The pastries seemed incredibly fresh and delicious. They had a huge variety of gluten-free options.
