The Dripolator Coffeehouse

I absolutely love this coffee shop! We went here every single day while we were visiting. The staff was always friendly and welcoming. Their specialty coffees are soooo amazing and the smoothies are phenomenal too. My kids love their hot chocolates and the baked goods, omg incredible!!!! The cinnamon rolls and croissants are so amazing. The gf pumpkin muffins are the best I've ever had!!! Best coffee shop everrrr.

Searched for a coffee shop on our way back home to Rabun Gap, GA. First time in & all I can say is the Vanilla Latte we ordered is absolutely delicious!! 🙂 Great flavor, love the 4 shots! Also, super kind & friendly person who took our order, wish I could’ve gotten their name, I appreciate the great customer service! 👍🏽 Keep it up.

Cute spot at the heart off Black Mountain. A big majority of businesses were closed today (Tuesday) and this coffee shop was opened. It has a good selection of baked goods, coffee and drinks. The place has plenty of comfortable tables and lounging chairs. There were a fair amount of people working and having meetings. We didn't have to wait long for our coffees. They offer vegan and vegetarian options.

Dripolator was a nice find during our recent travel. Vibe at the place is happy and happening. Ambience is vibrant. Coffee is flavoursome, fragrant and deeply rich in taste. Outside sitting is also available. Barista was awesome and served with such happy smile. Beautiful place to make your day. Will go in a beat if will get a chance again.

My family and I were looking for random place to have a good coffee and a bite to eat before heading back home after a weekend in the Black Mountain. When I first looked at this place from the outside and reading other reviews, I knew I was in for some really special coffee. What I was not expecting was how incredible the rest of the experience it was going to be. Coffee & Food - truly as good as everyone raves about it! I had one of the best Butter Coffees I have ever had. As for the food, I only had an almond croissant, but if that's the standard they set for their food, then it's quite a high standard. Staff - great and friendly, even in the midst of a crazy rush for breakfast! With just a couple of items missing from my order, for which I had to go back to the counter, having to cut through the river of people lining up to the cashier. They were very quick to apologize and to give me the missing items. Atmosphere - trendy, but not over the top. A good combo of different generational decoration trends, which I don't know how, but worked very well together. No annoying background music. Also, very nice quality merch if you're into that type of thing. Final verdict - A top 5 coffee shop on my list. Would I recommend it? 100%

TLDR: Delicious cappuccino, super friendly and accommodating staff, welcoming, and contentious place. Black Mountain is low on the list of places I would go while hunting for good coffee. But I found it here anyway! They use local grass fed milk, do t print receipts (“saving the planet one receipt at a time”), and seem just to be super lovely people. The cappuccino was great traditional size. Barista offered to make it a double and while it was pretty strong, the amazing milk and milk texture was really balancing. Not disappointed at all! This is my first coffee in Black Mountain, I’m not sure why I would go anywhere else.
