Qualla Java Cafe - CHEROKEE

This place is a gem! My friend and I visited when they opened at around 7 o'clock and enjoyed a chilled espresso with soy milk and toffee nut syrup, as well as a “Thirteen Moons” milk latte (espresso, oat milk, blackberry, toffee nut syrup, and cocoa powder). Everything was absolutely delicious and more affordable than you might expect. I would recommend it to anyone, whether vegan or not. Unfortunately, they don’t offer any vegan food items, but they do sell their own coffee and some adorable mugs too!

This charming spot is conveniently located in the heart of Cherokee. Unfortunately, I didn't see any vegetarian or vegan options on the menu (the only items containing milk and eggs), but I was pleased to find that all of their drinks can be made with almond, soy, or oat milk. I inquired about bringing my dog to the back terrace, and to my delight, she informed me that pets are even welcome inside!
