Every year, local alt-news weekly Mountain Xpress<\/em> holds a massive online poll. Western North Carolina residents collectively take to their digital devices to vote on all their local faves, from fitness studios to pet kennels. While in no way scientific, and certainly not without controversy among those with strong local loyalties, the Best of WNC<\/a> is a great place to start your search for a new dentist or tattoo artist. Or, if you\u2019re feeling thirsty, it\u2019s a great source for a great cup of coffee.
<\/p>\n\n\n

Our regional coffee shops make dazzling drinks all year round. But they get particularly creative in the fall, mixing their inspiration with top-quality ingredients, some of which are locally roasted. That makes them the perfect places to celebrate International Coffee Day, recognized in the U.S. on September 29 and internationally on October 1.
<\/p>\n\n\n

Ready for a fall beverage that you\u2019re going to like a latte? If you\u2019re new to the area, or if you\u2019re just looking for something new, here are WNC\u2019s top-voted coffee houses of the year.
