Mountaineer Coffee

This place is fantastic. We drive by every time we're on the way back driving from Clermont to Brooksville, and we go out our way to stop. We always recommend it for folks who head out in that direction. The chai lattes are fabulous and highly recommended. Sweet but not overly so. My husband tried their regular black coffee and said it was very good. This last trip, we ended up with delicious blueberry donuts that actually exploded with blueberry flavor when you bit into them. So good! It's also worth calling out that the staff who works there is always super nice. Happy to make recommendations and cheerful no matter when you stop.This place is worth a stop! Don't be fooled by the unassuming small building and location. They are doing an awesome job.

Although I did like the taste of the espresso, I'm pretty sure it didn't have the amount of shots I had requested in my Americano. I'm hoping my bad experience with someone overwhelmed behind the counter was a "one-off", however, I'll not return to see if it was just a one time bad service moment. I was rather angrily and bluntly told to hurry up because she had a line and I wasn't grabbing the cup fast enough (my arthritis was acting up badly & I had been driving for 7 hours straight so I was definitely going slow but not so slow I needed to be reprimanded). I'd also like to note, there were only 2 other car customers and a walk up landing at the window while I was being reprimanded- I was there a total of 7 minutes including my wait time for her (my response to the request for a moment was "absolutely no problem"). I do wish I hadn't tipped her before the reprimand but I'd never ask for it back, I just left and will go to the gas station for coffee next time.

I love checking out local coffee shops whenever I'm in a new city or town, and I had driven past Mountaineer Coffee several times when going to visit family and hadn't stopped in. Finally I got the chance to stop and I was not disappointed! The vibe of the coffee shop and ambiance was amazing- a super cozy spot with different rooms to sit in, a little shop, colorful, everything you'd want in a coffee shop. The service was good, and the coffee and food were delicious. Can't wait to go back again!

Great boutique coffee place with tasty coffee. I do not have any of their pastries but they looked amazing.

This is going to be corrective criticism, starting with the positives. I typically would have given a 3 or lower for the issue we had, but everything else was SO good, y'all got bumped. I wish I could give 5*. Positives:The coffees the 3 of us got were delicious! The pop tarts were all fabulous! Light and crispy. Flavorful! We tried 4 different filling flavors and all were amazing. Tastes like a way better version of the store kind. The staff was nice and service was fast and efficient. We also ordered 3 croissant sandwiches. After asking clearly if it was "turkey bacon" we got it on it. It is NOT turkey bacon so if you don't eat pork, do NOT get bacon here. They had turkey AND bacon on them. NOT ok!!! None of us eat pork and therefore threw away $$$ because the menu and the employee did not separate the words "turkey" and "bacon". One bite told us it was pork. This is the reason they did not receive 5*. Be conscientious of the fact that some people (lots) only eat turkey bacon, not pork. This can seriously affect people for religious and cultural reasons. Please do better. If I choose to stop again, I hope I am able to amend this review to a 5*.

I'm a coffee snob. I roasted my own coffee for about 15 years. I never expected to find a good coffee shop in Brooksville, but here it is. Mountaineer not only met but exceeded my expectations.

I had no idea this place existed until I went to a retirement party. There were a dozen homemade pop tarts in various flavors. They all were gone in seconds. I've been getting a dozen, dropping them off at my wife and daughter's work,as well as my doctor's office. Not something to do all the time. They are 3.00$ each. But definitely delicious. I've not had their coffee or tea, but looks like a great place for a time out to read or surf the web. Staff is very nice and friendly place is very clean.

Have come in a few times when I'm in town. One of the better coffee shops in the area. They also have a mean chai and dirty chai latte. The Peru espresso blend is absolutely exquisite. I believe they used to be 12 oz bags maybe I'm tripping but 10 oz for $15 would be more painful if it wasn't so good. Shop is super clean, decor is vintage and timeless. Can't go wrong here unless you leave empty handed. The food looks great but I can't comment on it other that it looks and smells delicious.

Both locations are fabulous! This is For the new one on the west side of brooksville. Every time I come back from that end of town, I try to stop for a cup of black coffee. Their African coffees are amazing, naturally since Ethiopian beans are the Best and make the smoothest coffee. Lately they have been serving South American. Is also very good.

I love Mountaineer Coffee. Up until recently, it was basically the only non-corporate coffee shop I would patronize in Hernando County. There was another coffee shop somewhere closer to Spring Hill that closed but I never went because I heard the owners were like pro-Jan 6 Insurrection or something and loudly hated liberals. So I never bothered going. For a while, this was my only game in town, and It's 25 minutes from my house. I love the vibes of Mountaineer Coffee. It's situated perfectly in downtown Brooksville, which isn't a very vibrant place, but there are sidewalks so you could walk around a little I guess. Inside there are tagbles, comfy chairs, and a little shop with local art and trinkets. The coffee flavors are amazing, even when I get a black cold brew.
