    Acai MIM Make It Mine Smoothie Bowl
    Jessica G.

    Beautifully assembled açaí bowl, they clearly put some thought into the aesthetics, which is greatly appreciated. I customized my own bowl, which turned out pretty well. Proportions were good - the base, fruit, granola, honey. The total amount in the bowl was good as well, but it might not be as much as other places. I was surprised by how long it kept. I ate it over the course of an hour, and it didn't get too mushy / runny.

    This is the Heels Bowl with added strawberries. Delicious!!

    I love Anissa's Spot! They have a beautiful calming ambience and great vibe. The staff is always friendly, especially Q, and their açaí bowls and smoothies are amazing!

    I join the other reviewers who gave 5 stars for Anissa's Spot. This cute coffee and açaí shop is a bright addition to the strip mall on this part of NC 55. It's tucked at the back, but once you are inside you are welcomed by the friendly staff. A lady ahead of me overheard that it was my first time in. She said their açaí bowls are worth trying. She is right. My Eagle Eye bowl was done well. A crunchy granola base mixed with blended superfoods and topped with bananas, honey, and chia seeds. I added a regular house iced coffee with oat milk to my order. It was the breakfast I needed to start my day off right. Anissa's Spot has a sitting area at the back where you can hang out and knock out some work if you have your laptop. I took time to catch up on messages from my coworkers. It wasn't busy, so I had some relative peace for what I needed to catch up on.

    I'm not even a big fan of pumpkin but the Pumpkin spice latte was delish. It's the perfect blend of flavor and spice! 10x better than Starbucks

    I learned about Anissa's Spot at the recommendation of my trainer/owner Tyrone Irby of Together We Stand Gym (next door). He told me about the variety of smoothies, fruit bowls, coffees and sandwich options. So after my workout I decided to stop in a grab a healthy intake of a protein filled smoothie. I got the mango pineapple w/vegan protein. Immediately as I entered I was greeted, "welcome to Anissa's Spot" from a smiling, pleasant associate (this goes a long way and determines a return visit). Needless to say I will be back... but here's why I will be back and why you should come and visit but not just come in a grab a smoothie but spend a little time here. The atmosphere is so inviting... there's ample space to sit comfortably and enjoy your smoothie, coffee, or food. From high tops to dining tables and even a lounge area. In the background there's nice tunes not too loud or too low just the right volume that you're not distracted or heard if you're in conversation or concentration. The spot is airy and fresh, very clean, elegant light fixture that adds a taste of sophisticated decor. This will definitely be my hangout spot when I'm Durham both after workouts and just to stop by. If you're in the area you should check the spot (Anissa's) out

    One of the best açaí bowls I've ever had! They have premade bowls if you have a favorite combination. This one has blueberries and bananas. But if you're feeling adventurous or want to try new combos, they also offer a build your own option. If you're feeling something more hearty, they have sandwiches available as well, but I would not leave this place without grabbing one of these! We sat outside since we had our dogs with us, and they were so nice to being our food out on a tray so we didn't have to move! Talk about excellent service!

    Very cute and chic coffee spot. The service was quick as well the employees were patient and nice. Enjoyed my coffee and time here.

    This is a new coffee shop in the area. I tried their coffee, Acai bowl & smoothies. Good place to hangout with friends and family. Friendly staff and decent ambience. I would prefer smoothies & Açaí bowl than their cappuccino.

    If y'all haven't been, you NEED to go to Anissa's Spot in Durham! I went for the first time today and it was amazing! The young ladies working were welcoming and professional. The ambiance was top notch too! Bright and viabrant colors, clean and smelled amazing! They have everything from merch to coffee, açaí bowl, smoothies, and more. Build your own or pick something off their menu. Also the staff was nice enough to make recommendations! I got an açaí bowl, and it did not disappoint! I'll definitely be joining their awards program and be going back!

    Friendly service, and delicious açaí bowl! The bowl is super fresh and not overly sweet. Will definitely come back to try the coffee and other food.

    Dukester acai bowl
    Glenn G.

    We had hear about this spot but never came until we got a coupon in the mail. It's in a strip that is not very visible from the road, so follow GPS if you got it. I ordered the Dukester acai bowl with blackberries and my wife got the Heels Up bowl acai bowl with bananas. We're not really familiar with acai bowls but thought it would come with acai berries or syrup. The bowls were filling, and we ended up taking leftovers home with us. They also have smoothies and limited coffee options. I might stop by again when my car is at the AAA service center. Happy to know that this is a Black woman-owned business.

    The açaí bowls are absolutely amazing!!! Get extra peanut butter. It's so refreshing and a wonderful sweet treat for the afternoon. The staff are all so helpful and friendly and Anissa is wonderful to chat with.

    I fell in love with Thousand Hills the moment I walked in. The decor is so beautiful and there are…read moreso many comfy places to sit as well as tables inside and outside. It's located alongside the leasing office for the apartment complex. The service is great. There were two young ladies working and they were both friendly. I arrived around 4:30 on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and ordered a muffin and a decaf latte since it was so late (for me to drink caffeine). The cranberry lemon muffin was absolutely perfect, so much flavor, so fresh & moist. The Salted Brown Butter Latte was the best. From the first sip to the last drop, I loved it. I sat on a small section of a very comfortable couch with pillows and all. I later sat out front on one of the benches. They also have a patio seating out back. I can't wait to go back to Thousand Hills!!

We share a car, and with her…read morejob having her out of town about half the time, I've gotten pretty good at finding little adventures on the drive home. This particular morning, I knew I wanted to stop by Trader Joe's afterward, but they weren't open yet. So I pulled up the map looking for a coffee shop where I could get a little coworking done. Thousand Hills Coffee popped up, and it had been on my "need to try" list for a while. I also shot my buddy KH a quick text to see if he wanted to join me and catch up on our latest ultra running training shenanigans. Thankfully, he was game. I rolled in around 8:30 a.m. and managed to grab a decent parking spot. Worth mentioning because the coffee shop shares parking with the apartment complex next door, so I imagine spaces can disappear quickly. KW arrived a few minutes before me and had to park a bit farther away. Walking inside, I immediately liked the vibe. It feels modern but still cozy, almost like someone's really well-designed living room. There are several distinct seating areas, plenty of soft chairs, a long community table, and even bar seating overlooking the baristas. It struck a nice balance between coffee shop and comfortable workspace. Since I'd already knocked out my morning run, I was ready for a little breakfast. KH and I both ordered the cheese, Danish. It looked huge in the display case, though it shrank a bit once it made it onto the plate. That said, it was really flavorful and definitely worth ordering. I also grabbed a regular drip coffee, which was excellent. My timing was amusing because they had just finished the last pot and were brewing a fresh one, but honestly, getting a fresh cup probably worked out for the best. We grabbed chairs next to the long community table instead at the table since the morning sun was already heating things up. We spent a while catching up, talking running, races, and all the usual endurance athlete nonsense. After KH headed out, I relocated to the long table that was in the shade and spent another hour or so catching up on emails and getting a little work done. It turned out to be a great co-working spot with plenty of room to spread out without feeling like you were taking up space. One last shoutout to the staff, who were genuinely friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. Good coffee is one thing, but great people always make the experience better. Overall, I came away impressed. Somehow, they've been open for about two years, and I'm honestly not sure how they managed to stay off my radar for so long. Safe to say they'll be making it into my regular rotation whenever I need a good cup of coffee and a comfortable place to get some work done.

Trying to get a little work done, I was pleased to find a comfy couch, power and Wi-Fi- in addition to the incredible twist on a Mexican mocha and an absolutely insane bacon, egg, and cheese on there in house made biscuit! Greeted by the friendliest barista, I made myself comfy on the couch and watched her work her magic. My " not too sweet" mocha had beautiful latte art. I was actually a little sad as I reached the bottom of the mug. So I opted for a decaf refill, it was pure perfection. Do yourself a favor & pop in to make this place your morning ritual.

The menu isn't broad, only a few options, which I was disappointed with. The staff was pretty decent, they forgot a few things, like a lemon for water when requested, a spoon for my yogurt. We ordered a burrito, the biscuit and eggs and the yogurt. Honestly, I was shocked at how good it was. Burrito had great flavor and was super filling. The biscuits were incredible! They were super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The jam it came with was also delicious. Overall, it was a weird restaurant set up and staff was iffy but the food was quite good! I likely won't go back because the menu is so limited but if you're in the area, it wouldn't hurt to stop by!

This place is a dream for remote work. Every table is so spread out (esp outdoor) that you don't overhear other conversations, no loud music, and sunlight streaming in from every corner. Service was quick and thoughtfully accommodating. I appreciated that they bring food in a to-go container if you're sitting outside, so you're not stuck carrying plates back. And bonus points for their commitment to using sustainable packaging. The coffee was quite delicious! Jubala Coffee actually makes a type of specialty beans roasted just for F&F. Their drink menu is on the simpler side, but they usually have a couple of seasonal lattes, and everything I tried tasted great. Food-wise, it's a gem: generous portions, very reasonably priced, and flavorful. It reminded me a bit of Fount Kitchen in its "organic, healthy" vibe, but with more non-vegetarian options and even better flavor. There's plenty of parking right out front, but sadly they close at 2:30pm, so it's more of a morning or lunch spot. All in all, a wonderful place for a morning work sesh or a work lunch in style!
