We went during the holiday season and the place was decorated beautifully! The food was delicious and the service was quick! Highly recommend! They also had lots of gluten-free options which is great!
A great Raleigh find! The desserts are excellent and the avocado toast was amazing. A must try.
I love the ambience of this coffee shop. They have a plush velvety sofa, a great plant collection and delicious coffee and teas. I had the matcha latte (yum) and hot chocolate. They serve the delectable donuts from Tepuy so we had to pick up a few to try. The staff is really friendly and so are the patrons. Thank you to the kind lady that helped with the door as I left with my arms full of donuts and drinks! I can't wait to go back. There is also ample parking in the back.
Service was incredibly nice and engaging. The food was sweet and the caramel wasn't just caramel syrup but the flavor was infused throughout the cake. The lavender honey syrup is made in house and wasn't too floral it was amazing. The ambiance was hip and homey with many trinkets. It gave the vibe of a place workers and costumers love to be at.
The feel of this coffee shop is spectacular. I loved the ambiance it brings. It feels like a catch up spot for friends or if you need to have a meeting or a place to read. The outside patio is also super cute. The service is wonderful and the staff is super helpful and kind. I had the Southwest bagel and it was so good. It felt light which is what I need during a breakfast without feeling full and bloated lol. They also have a station with simple syrup and agave syrup which is such a smart idea. They also have a place to put all your dishes when you are finished. Overall, great experience. Will be back!!
