    A delightful experience! The decor is super cute and showcase the wonderful colors and artistry of Guatemala. The coffees were delicious. We really enjoyed the spacious back patio for sipping your beverage and just enjoying life.

    This place is beautiful. I've followed the project since i tried the coffee beans in 2019. So glad to see this place finished. The service is great, the coffee tastes great, and the people friendly. They've done a wonderful job restoring this building. I look forward to when they start offering Guatemalan food!

    Amazing spot. Think cultural center meets Guatemalan cafe. It has a warm, inviting, atmosphere, great decor, and comfortable couches everywhere. The coffee is artisanaly roasted on site, and is incredible in it's variety and quality. The food is homemade and simply amazing. You've got to try the Guatemalan Breakfast. I cannot recommend this little place enough.

    Little Guatemala is not a business, it is a community, and you are welcomed into it as soon as you walk through the door. The authentic food, in-house-roasted coffee, house-made chocolate, and colorful gifts are simply prompts for the connections that are made here between people of all kinds. As you settle in to a cozy sofa to leisurely enjoy your al fresco meal (or coffee, or book), the plants, decor, and music of the expansive, covered space transport you to The Land of the Eternal Spring. This isn't just a meal or a shopping excursion. It is an experience and one you will be eager to repeat.

    My biggest regret is not living closer to Little Guatemala! I live in Charlotte and have made the trip here a couple times now. The coffee is delicious and their traditional dishes are authentic and soo good! The space itself has such great vives — truly feels like a visit to Guatemala. The space is gorgeous — the owners have been so innovative and creative in making this space enjoyable for all!

    Over-priced, inconsistent and lengthy wait times. They wanted to charge me $5 for a small side of avocado and .25 for a glass of tap water to have there with my breakfast. Just to get my drip coffee took almost 10 minutes. The coffee is okay - it seems like they recently changed roasts and the medium roast is now very dark and flavorless compared to the prior one that was much better. The wait time for specialty drinks is way too long and the taste will vary depending on who makes the drink. I really wanted to like this place and support a local coffee shop and roaster but I will not be returning due to multiple disappointing visits.

    Just visited their newly opened brick and mortar shop, in their beautifully renovated building! They have done an amazing job creating a comfortable and welcoming space, and the coffee was fantastic! So excited to go back!

    Sweet little place. Their coffee is so good! I got a bag of Finca Medina. Food was pretty good too. For someone like myself who has traveled to some of the smaller countries like Guatemala, this felt just like being back there.

    Fantastic atmosphere, excellent food, and a great area for the community to gather. Would highly recommend papusas and horchata!

    Had the "Guatemalan Breakfast" there. It was very good! I will be going back to try some of their other dishes! Comfortable and casual atmosphere. It's very evident they've put a lot of love into the building and business!

    Stopped in en route from Hickory to the Morganton farmers market on a Saturday morning. Cool spot just outside of town. Small menu choice, but that's okay. They roast their own coffee and sell some other random items. Seating inside, on the front patio, as well as the back deck.

    This is a gem. The coffee is some of the best I've had. There is an indoor soccer field so that the kids can play while you eat and enjoy coffee. As far as I know, the field can be used as long as there isn't a game or practice. They are building an outdoor soccer field and a deck area. It will be amazing when it is finished. The craftsmanship is beautiful so far. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

    Just started going to Little Guatemala and now I am addicted! The coffee is absolutely amazing and the food is delicious! The outdoor environment is something you can’t find anywhere else in Morganton! So relaxing and welcoming! I would give 10 stars if I could!

    Excellent coffee, food and soccer program! This is one of the best hidden gems in Morganton North Carolina. Do not hesitate to have your children learn a foundational soccer skills here!

    Delicious food, beautiful decor, and very friendly employees! The pupusas and the black beans were my favorites, but we also had very tasty steak, chuchitos, and tamalitos! I wish I had time to look through their merchandise because they had an assortment of beautiful clothes, tapestries, and mementos. I greatly hope I'll be able to come again and enjoy their food and hospitality!

    Drove up from Greenville, SC to check out this place after seeing it on ETV. The coffee is fantastic! The food that we ordered was ok. I was really hoping for it to be better. I would return for another try but it's a little far.

    Just moved to the area and BANG found this awesome coffee roaster. This will be our go to stop in Morganton. Great food and awesome coffee.

  • 5/5 Wanda B. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place to eat and relax. It is decorated so colorful and uniquely to represent Guatemala. The owner, Christian was very nice and friendly. He ask us how was the food ? It was delicious (Steak, rice, beans, guacamole and the sweet plantains were so spectacular. There are numerous seating arrangements. Also outdoor seating. Our cashier and educator Barbara was so sweet and taught us so much about Guatemala food. They have so many coffees and flavorings. You just have to go there and experience their food and culture. They have a indoor soccer field for the children. Highly recommended.

    Had an awesome mocha with cinnamon. It is such a big space but it is arranged to be super cozy. Great family space but as a loner, I felt very comfortable tucked into a corner with my pastries.

    Super fabulous coffee and Chai. They also have food here which I wasn't aware of. Little authentic Guatemalan gifts you can buy. Will be back soon.
