Speckled Paw Coffee - Mount Gilead

Awesome coffee shop, excellent service, delicious coffee. Five

Coffee, ice cream, treats, books! Always a welcoming place to visit!

We had a very nice stop here for coffee and conversation. The shop owner is incredibly friendly, and the coffee we had was hearty and delicious. The vibe is welcoming, sunny and open, obviously a great spot for locals to sit and chat. We had a lovely chat with a lifelong Mt. Gilead local, too.

I hate bougie coffee stores. But this place was great. The young lady that served us was bubbly and upbeat, and evidently manages the book store part of the store, not coincidently also bubbly and upbeat. There is ample seating and between cute chairs to generous couches, you'll find the right spot for your butt. The diverse menu means you'll also find something for your mouth. The location is ideal and the place is bright and well laid out. The outdoor patio is equally charming and functional. And I haven't even mentioned the best part yet, the stores' namesake, a dog with speckled paws, greets guests warmly and serves as muse for multiple pieces of folk art dedicated to him and on display. Worth a stop for a snack or drink.

We are from out of town and we always visit the Speckled Paw when visiting Mt Gilead. My daughter likes to get the ice cream or a milkshake and then we stroll around looking at all the cute boutiques and antique shops. I have teens and tweens looking for work so it warmed my heart to see kids helping behind the counter at this coffee shop.
