    Iced lavender coffee
    Markiesa B.

    I've been to the Morgan street foodhall several times but never been to bad cat coffee. I got the turkey, cheese and egg bagel breakfast sandwich and an iced coffee (lavender was my flavor). Food didn't take long. The sandwich was pretty good and filling . [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lavender in the ice coffee was good, a bit on the sweeter side though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall I would come visit this place again.

    Cute coffee kiosk located in Morgan Street Food Hall. I went on a Thursday morning so there was no line. The staff were so polite and kind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I ordered the Purr Purr latte, which is honey and lavender , and the BEC on plain bagel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The latte was so good. Just enough of both flavors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bagel was delicious but phew ‍ she greasy. Only thing I would say is I wish the egg or bagel sandwich had some seasoning to it. Otherwise, great little spot and I will def return.

    Nice size crepe, egg & cheese & bacon crepe

    My first visit the food and coffee were great! (Pics attached were from the first visit). I got the egg and bacon crepe with a little honey drizzle! (Don't forget the honey drizzle you will thank me later!) Ha. I think this visit I got the white chocolate raspberry? Everything was delicious and amazing. Second visit was a different crew than the first and my crepe (same crepe) was smaller and just not hitting the same caliber...not sure what happened. The coffee was a little off this time too less flavorful. This time I got the butter rum (i think that's what it's call). Either way, maybe one more try this time getting a sweet crepe...or both...would be awesome if they had a half half order sweet and savory! Then I could try both. I'll update my review after one more try lol. First visit was a 5, second was a 3 so we will average it out and give 4 stars!

    Look at this adorable coffee stand @badcatcoffeecompany inside @morganstreetfoodhall where you can get all of your catnip, treats, and sweet drinks for yourself and your kitties. We got the hot and the iced oat lattes. They are very tasty pick me ups whenever we visit in Raleigh.

    I had an Offline Raleigh perk to use here and stopped by early on a Thursday morning. I got lucky and found a curbside spot across the street. I saw different hours in two places for when they opened so I wasn't sure if I'd have any luck. The employee saw me looking into the food hall and let me in while she finished setting up. Drink: I ordered an iced coconut latte with almond milk. Unfortunately, it had an almost oily taste and feel. I'm not sure if it was the milk or syrup. Not the best. Food: Everything bagel with bacon and cheese. This was the best part! Warm and gooey. I gave them a 3 because of the drink but would definitely try it again and choose something else.

    Coffee, yes please. When I saw that the lady was making fresh crepes, I mentioned that I was doing a keto diet and would need to decline, she offered to make me something special and keto compliant. Yes, please! Meanwhile, the coffee was excellent. I don't know what she's brewing here but it was definitely not the usual donut store stuff. This was delicious and thick and tasty. A few sips in, my breakfast was ready. Two scrambled eggs with perfect crispy bacon. Amazing and perfectly compliant on a keto diet. Thank you, ma'am! It was excellent!

    Parking 5 Customer service 5 I love the coffee is always perfect. If you have a taste for a cream soda, ice coffee, and the best hot coffees around. I love the amazing customer service and how welcoming Traci and her employees are when you visit. This is a must stop! Also from time to time, Santa is having a cup of coffee there too.

The service is great and relatively quick, and everyone I've met there is kind and willing to help. The inside is a bit small, so smaller crowds are better and it does tend to get crowded later in the evening and on weekends. The outside street sitting area is nice too and hopefully will be fully fixed soon. Overall a great places to stop for drinks and desserts after a nice meal!

Five stars all around. We'll definitely be back.

I had the crab claws, crispy shrimp and dumplings. The crab claws were delicious. Lots of them too. Served with bread I didn't use. The crispy shrimp were nice large shrimp and a spicy sauce with rice. I ended up using the rice with the crab claw sauce. And the dumplings were ok but I didn't eat many of them. They were my least favorite. I would come back to enjoy coffee and breakfast, but doubt I come back for dinner.

I could see myself coming by and sitting down for a quick brunch, meeting up with friends, or staying for a work session.

    Iris Coffee Lab is where you bring the friend who can tell you the origin of a bean after one sip,…read morewho gets excited about extraction methods and tasting notes, and who genuinely believes coffee deserves the same reverence as a fine bottle of wine. Iris isn't trying to be trendy: it is unapologetically devoted to the craft. The interior reflects that philosophy. A restrained palette of white, charcoal, and soft gray keeps distractions to a minimum, allowing every cup to remain the focal point. It's clean, modern, and intentionally understated. If you're someone who typically reaches for cream and sugar, I'd encourage you to order at least one cup black. Iris sources and roasts exceptional coffee, and tasting it without distractions is the best way to appreciate the nuance and balance that have earned the café such a devoted following. That said, the seasonal menu is every bit as thoughtful. On this visit, I ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha Latte, a drink layered with tropical sweetness, creamy matcha, and just enough complexity to keep each sip interesting. The final few sips, where all of the flavors settled together, were unexpectedly my favorite part. My brother-in-law chose Iris's signature blueberry-forward latte, while my niece ordered the house-made chai. Before she'd even finished half the cup, she looked up and declared, "This is the best chai I've ever had." Her father, after trying it himself, agreed without hesitation. The breakfast menu compliments the beverage program well, offering thoughtfully prepared dishes that feel every bit as intentional as the drinks. Like many destination coffee shops, Iris tends to attract people who settle in for a while. Laptops are open across nearly every table, conversations are minimal, and the room has the focused energy of a shared studio rather than a bustling café. Because of the open design, voices travel easily, making it a better place for quiet work than lively catch-ups. The café is meticulously maintained, including spotless restrooms that reflect the same attention to detail found throughout the space. Parking can require a bit of patience, though I've almost always managed to find a spot without too much trouble. Iris Coffee Lab isn't trying to appeal to everyone, and that's exactly what makes it special. It's a café for people who care about coffee, how it's sourced, brewed, and experienced. In a city with no shortage of coffee shops, Iris has carved out a distinct identity by putting craftsmanship ahead of trends, creating a destination that's as much about curiosity as it is about caffeine.

The coffee shop is located in the Glenwood south area and feels very modern when you walk in. To order you'll walk to the counter and place your order. I selected from their seasonal drinks and opted for the iced summer crumble latte. I ordered the summer crumble latte (espresso, milk of choice, blueberry, house made oat crumble distillation, subtle lemon coconut infusion, oat tincture, lemon rind garnish) which was excellent and tasted like a bowl of cereal milk. I noticed several people ordering matcha which also may be excellent and something I'll have to try next time. If you are in the Glenwood South area and are looking for a good coffee shop, definitely check out Iris Coffee Lab.

After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years!

I got a hot americano first which was fantastic; i use this as a base measure for how well a shop pulls shots without having to completely sacrifice the drink if its subpar. I then grabbed an espresso which was perfectly balanced and easily drinkable; no need for sugar to offset bitterness; appropriate temperature; served in warmed ceramic shot glass. I also grabbed a baked good which was also great, i wouldve preferred it warmed up, although admittedly, they probably could have if id asked. There is a large amount of outdoor seating but inside seating is limited as well as outlets for work. Luckily it wasnt busy when i arrived and was able to find a spot to get setup.

I'm a big fan of lighter-roasted, funky, expressive coffees, and Black & White absolutely delivers. Their roasting style leans into vibrant, fruit-forward profiles, and they do it with confidence. The downtown Raleigh location is fantastic too. It's right in the middle of everything, making it a great stop for a date night, meeting up with friends, or just dropping in for a quick but exceptional cup. Their seasonal menu was small but mighty -- just a couple of options -- but the kind where every drink looks so good you wish they'd never rotate them off the menu. I started with the orange cardamom flat white, and it was perfect in every way. Beautifully presented and incredibly balanced. The espresso, milk, orange, and cardamom all complemented each other without any one flavor taking over. It was nuanced, aromatic, and just a joy to drink. For my second drink, I ordered a Rodrigo Sanchez pour-over, a co-fermented Colombian coffee labeled with passion fruit notes. It was everything I want from a pour-over -- bright, juicy, and expressive, with the kind of sweet stone fruit and berry notes that make light-roasted coffee so exciting. Black & White continues to prove why they're one of the most respected specialty roasters around. If you love adventurous coffee with huge flavor and careful execution, this place is an absolute must-visit.

The pastry part was delicious, but the blueberry filling was a little dry. I love blueberries. So glad that that was the option. Trying a few other coffee spots while here, but I can see myself coming back this week!
