About Us
Welcome to Carolina Moon Coffee!
As a passionate coffee lover, I wanted to share my appreciation for coffee along with my private, carefully selected blends with our local community.
In 2013, we opened our first Carolina Moon Coffee Café and Unique Finds in downtown Lake Lure. Two years later, we launched a smaller location at the north end of the lake, near Rumbling Bald Resort. Both cafes operated until 2019 when COVID-19 forced us to close.
While friends and family continued to enjoy our blends, I have long desired for the opportunity to reconnect with the community and offer MY organic, wellsourced coffees to both past and new customers.
I hope you enjoy! Blesssings.
Our small community in Lake Lure, along with Chimney Rock and Bat Cave, experienced devastating losses from the 2024 Hurricane Helene. We have chosen to help by donating a part of our sales from this site to support the rebuilding efforts.
