I arrived at 7 and sat here for five hours. Ouch! And despite that, no one seemed to mind. The inside dining area ebbed and flowed but it never got to the point where I felt like I was taking up a table for a "paying" customer. A drip coffee mid-morning got me through to noon and it was time for me to move on. Overall, a fantastic spot and the coffees were absolutely top notch!

Humble decor,…read morea bit minimalist (especially if you walk over from Cry freedom store) but incredible quality of a latte. Staff were friendly but got confused when one person asked for a to go cup, they made our whole meal and coffees in to go containers even though we had mentioned we were eating there. Felt bad to be that wasteful and I'll try to be clearer next time. $13 for a slice of bread with avocado and egg- but MAN it was good. Will be back to try more pastry options for sure.

The coffee wasn't good, I got an iced dark chocolate latte and the coffee just genuinely isn't flavorful or appealing. I got one of each of their HIGHLY over priced macarons (3$ a pop, they were very small) and they had no flavor to them. It was like eating straight up sugar with like a whisper of flavoring if that. Wholly unappealing. The Lorraine quiche was really good tho! I got the blueberry Bundt cake and the blueberry cheesecake to go for my husband and he the cake was REALLY dry and the cheese cake crust was not good. "The best part of these desserts is the little candied blueberries at the top" the ambiance was quite bleak and really unfriendly feeling. Like the lighting was terrible, the whole sitting area is poorly lit and feels like a prison cell. Just really not a comforting cafe/bakery to walk into and the eats were not good either. I won't be going back or recommending to anyone. *not a set up review, if you look at all my past reviews I say what I feel both good and bad. Just bc Debie is mad at her second bad review in quite a while doesn't mean it's a set up LOL

They have a great selection of teas and french press. They do not do espresso. There is a small but sophisticated menu that offers quiches, scones, cheesecake and a few savory pastries, all made by a European trained chef who bakes exclusively for The Gladstone. The presentation is awesome. Hours are Tues-Thurs 10am-6pm, and Fri-Sat 10am-10pm. And they are actually open for these hours, they do not close randomly like some other local Goldsboro businesses. This is a really neat place tucked away in Goldsboro, definitely worth checking out.

Donut flavors and pastry selection are a plenty and mostly delicious! But I have to say, every time I go in, it's a different worker both up front and making coffees. Which unfortunately, leads to a different coffee every time. The inconsistencies and clutter make me not want to return. The older woman at the counter today made me feel that way even more.

Some 20 year old black man with dreads had come outside and was folding up the umbrellas over the outside tables. He saw me and curtly told me, "We're closed!" I asked him what time did they close, and he would not answer. I saw cars in the drive thru so I assumed maybe the inside was closed. 15 minutes later my friend picked me up and we went thru the drive-thru. Some white guy told us the place was closed. We asked what time they closed, and he replied 9:30. Whatever happened to day days when Starbucks was open till 11 and 12?
