Halfway up a steep hill in downtown Waynesville, and just a stone’s throw from the Haywood County Historic Courthouse, sits Orchard Coffee.
“I love coffee because I love people,” said Cabell Tice, co-owner of Orchard Coffee. “I’ve always really enjoyed connecting with people. Coffee is a vessel for reaching people there’s nothing like a conversation over coffee.”
Sitting in front of the large bay window in the shop last week, Tice, 28, gazes out onto Depot Street. It’s day three of having the doors open, and another sunny day in this mountain paradise. Natural light streams into the cozy space. Though the three-story 1938 art deco building has been an architectural fixture of Waynesville, it’s remained empty for the better part of a decade.
