So happy to finally have a coffee shop in J Creek! LOVE the vintage camp vibes & background music choices were awesome as well. I’ve visited multiple times since Blue Ghost has opened a couple weeks ago. Coffee is perfect, love the special lattes. I’ve also had a great smoothie. They also have snacks, provisions, pastries, & sandwiches from 828. The high test deli icecream sandwiches are SO good! Love that Kristen is sourcing locally & promoting lots of local businesses. There is space indoors & outdoors to sit. Staff is very friendly, kind, & welcoming.

A very cozy and pleasant place. I was genuinely surprised to find such a lovely café in a remote area. The coffee is delicious, the pastries are fresh and tasty, and the staff — including the owner — are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping by!

We were staying at one of the RV parks nearby for the night. My wife saw the Blue Ghost on Google Maps. So on a chilly morning we walked over to the Blue Ghost looking for a hot caffinated beverage to wake us up. We ordered a S'mores drink and a Mocha with extra shot of espresso and a hot chocolate for our little one. The presentation was fantastic even though we asked them to make our drinks in our personal cups so they would stay hot longer and they kindly agreed. Blue Ghost is a must for those who live or are traveling through the area.. 5 Stars

Such a cute and unique place! I stopped by here twice on a trip, as it’s such a convenient location on the way to Maggie Valley or Waynesville. The coffee was incredibly unique, featuring all homemade syrups and seasonal offerings that were super tasty. The shop also has local sourdough and pastries, including my gluten-free ones along with local goods. The owners and baristas were super nice and welcoming with recommendations for sightseeing in the local area. I ended up spilling my coffee getting in the car, and they brought out towels for me to clean up and remade my drink for free! Genuinely such a great coffee shop and with such nice people that I'll be coming back to whenever in the area.
