    What Our Customers Say

    "We came up to Hickory to meet our son who is a student at App State. We had lunch & found Emerson's Coffee. A sweet young lady took our order & she told me this location has been here for decades. I think that's fantastic! The boys got their coffee & I shared the large with my husband. It was very good coffee. I have a thing against bitter coffee, Starbucks tends to be a bit too much for me. Emerson's Coffee was perfect!"
