A Journey of Growth

The year 2020 marked a significant milestone for Talia Espresso by opening two new locations. Talia Espresso_On King, nestled in Boone, NC, fulfilled a long-awaited dream, introducing a walk-through Espresso Bar offering European-style espresso, lattes, handcrafted teas, smoothies, pastries, and more.

Additionally, our Drive Thru Coffee/Espresso in Elkin, NC, situated off Interstate I-77 on CC Camp Road, brought our exceptional offerings to travelers on the go.
