The River Dog Coffeehouse & Cafe

While on a camping expedition up the blue ridge parkway, we were searching for a nice warm breakfast after an especially chilly night in a tent.  After scouring the area map, we came upon the River Dog.  First of all, the decor is fantastic and sets the perfect ambiance for a coffee drinking experience in a mountain valley.  The prices seemed a little high at first, but ended up being well worth the dollars  spent.  The mocha latte was absolutely delish and the cafe au lait with black widow coffee was superb, despite not being made with espresso as expected.  For food, the pecan waffle and sausage/egg/cheese casserole were both delectable treats for breakfast.  Excellent service to top it off made me wish this place was closer to home.  Come here, you will not regret it!

On the search for good coffee in the area while on vacation, my wife and I decided to try The River Dog for breakfast.  I had the bacon, egg and cheese panini and fruit with coffee, and she had bacon, eggs and fruit and a soy latte.  The food, service and coffee were excellent.

Both of the owners were working, and we enjoyed talking to one of the employees.  I highly recommend stopping by if you want a great cup of coffee or espresso drink.

Great place! Comfy atmosphere. Delicious drip coffee options, comfortable seating, and you can also sit outdoors. I would definitely go back.
