Little Guatemala

I was so impressed with my breakfast yesterday! I tried the Chapin breakfast and and steak plate. We both finished our whole plates and were so impressed with the quality of the food and the short amount of time it took to receive it. Handmade tortillas, freshly done. I will definitely be back!

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!

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.

Little Guatemala is wonderful, and their great food is just the beginning. It has such a warm and welcoming community feel and the owners have clearly put so much care into creating what is truly a local gem. And the coffee is amazing.

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.

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!

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.

Absolutely delighted by Little Guatemala and the business that this family has built. From the coffee and the food to the soccer, all around an amazing experience! Christian and Erica (the owners) are incredibly warm and kind people who make you feel very welcome in their business. Morganton is lucky to be the home of Little Guatemala!

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.

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!

Very unique and interesting place. I enjoyed visiting with the owner and staff. I was served a great coffee but didn't try their food this time. Hope to visit here again!

Best coffee ever! Roasted in house. Beautiful fabric crafts from Guatemala. Wonderful 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.

Great place that gets better and better! Coffee is great and i absolutely love their indoor soccer league! If you love coffee and soccer this is the place to be!

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.

Wow just wow amazing food & amazing service!!

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.

A must on your travels to the foothills. Authentic Guatemalan coffee and pastry. Can even pick up some trinkets, chocolate or coffee beans to go.

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.

We love it! It's really great that there is outdoor seating and areas for the kids to move and play soccer.
