Went to the Fount for breakfast because it was close my hotel. This must be one of the most popular…read morecoffee shops in the area because the line to the door or beyond the entire time I was there. I had the yogurt bowl and my customary black coffee. The yogurt was a large portion and was very good. Coffee was a little strong and bitter, probably designed to have additives rather than being drank black. Pairing with the yogurt made it taste a lot better though. Service was friendly and the prices were reasonable. It was a bit noisy inside, just because there were a lot of customers and everyone was talking. The store is clean and bright with a neat little riser on one side. My only complaint was that there were no refills. That's unusual for black, drip coffee.

I was so thrilled to find a Bengong in NC. It is one of my favorite chains that I've tried in…read moreCalifornia. I ordered remotely and got the peach oolong milk tea with barley, 50% sweet. This is always my go-to at a new Bengong location as a quality check of sorts. I didn't see the cream top option but I may have missed it. My drink was ready before I arrived at the small store. It was very clean and unoccupied, though the staff were busy making many takeout orders. I was handed my drink and out the door in a jiffy. Just like every other Bengong I've been to, there is a wish tree by the entrance, covered in handwritten wishes by customers. I loved my peach oolong, it was creamy, fragrant, and not too sweet. The barley burst in my mouth and had a nicely chewy texture. I regretted getting the medium size, as I could have easily finished a large. I will definitely come back to Bengong for my milk tea fix, and it is an excellent addition to the Triangle's boba scene.

With customizing the ice and sugar added level, you can get the drink that suits you the best. A large menu selection and pleasant service here (although a kiosk ordering option is available as well). I enjoyed it! The Deets: While doing some errands at McCrimmons Corners, I spotted this place and decided on a refreshment stop there. Even on their own items, I've seen this place as BenGong's Tea and Ben Gong's Tea which supposedly means "Her Majesty's" Tea in Chinese. I went into the quaint, bright, inviting bubble tea shop and saw that you can order with staff or by kiosk, a plus for those of us that are not "kiosk friendly" yet. In looking at the menu, I spotted the Green Grape Sparkling Tea and went with that one. The staff member was pleasant and helpful taking my order. I ordered with less ice and no added sweetness, with the added fruit in it the sweetness was just right for me without adding extra so good call. The tasty bubbly tea was just what I wanted, I liked this drink. I did notice afterwards with their online menu that the "toppings" included with this drink are crystal jelly and lime slices, so I think I might ask for no crystal jelly next time. Also of note is that their containers are very sturdy with a good sized portion as well (as they are not the cheapest beverages but again, good quality). My tea came out in pretty good time, I thought, but did I did see others waiting around a bit for their order so it may depend on what you actually order on how quickly you get it. I'm glad I stopped to try out BenGong's Tea and won't hesitate to visit in the future when needing a bit of refreshment.

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 coffee was actually delicious. The service not so much!…read more To be fair I ordered my coffee with my breakfast at The Goat (the restaurant that Morning Ritual shares the building with) but the coffee is listed on The Goat's menu, so they need to get in sync. Our breakfast ended up coming out before coffee, which made no sense. I had to ask about the coffees before they were actually made. When the girl came from morning ritual She brought out my husbands, hot cappuccino but my mocha out iced and I immediately said I don't drink cold coffee and I did an order iced. Instead of being apologetic, and stating that she would change it, she just snatched the iced coffee and walked away. That was such a strange encounter. It was rude and I got no apology, nor did I get any explanation of what would happen next. I let my server know to ensure I was still going to get a coffee because I can't live without my coffee in the morning! When my Moca loved her honey, oat milk, coffee came I took a sip and was glad i didn't flip out and say "forget the coffee" (as I was already done with breakfast by the time in arrived) because the drink was delicious! If I'm ever back in the area (I was staying in Raleigh but decided to take a little detour into Durham that morning) I'll come to only Morning Ritual to see if I can change this 3 star review for service issues into a 5. For now they need to work on getting coffee service to The Goat streamlined!

I tried the turkey and brie sandwich and it was absolutely delicious and the food came out super fast. They are closed on weekends and only open on weekdays until 2:30pm. I do wish they had longer hours so I could bring more people to experience it. I love everything about this cafe and can't recommend it enough. Spacious, welcoming, and serving amazing food.

It's super spacious, with tons of natural light, high ceilings, and both indoor and outdoor seating. The outside patio has cushy lounge seats, perfect for soaking up sunshine (though it's right by the highway, so some outdoor spots come with a bit of traffic noise during rush hours). 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!

The beautiful lady that works there gave me their 2 menu's, the regular menu and the spring menu. They have so many options, from Crepes, to Paninis, to breakfast to lunch to dessert. I sat at a table for a few minutes to browse them. I decided on a hot Hazelnut Brown Sugar Latte and a slice of Banana Bread. Both sooo good!! My first sip of my latte and I was so happy. It's super cute inside of Milo's Cafe. Plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio. Even the ladies room is super cute. I'll definitely be back.

The latte was smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, just enough vanilla to complement the coffee. The Cragel was every bit as delicious as its reputation suggests: warm, chewy, flaky, and generously filled with cream cheese. A perfect coffee, a scrumptious Cragel, and ideal patio weather--what more could you ask for? This is exactly the kind of local gem that keeps me coming back.

It was very crowded there's not a lot of seating inside, they do have outside sitting. I did like how the inside looked and they had their pastries out front. I couldn't tell what to order and spent a few minutes trying to figure the menu out without getting overstimulated by the time I could even think about asking questions they had a really big line. I ended up ordering a medium cappuccino which I know see from other reviews that my disappointment was not just me. we did get a waffle croissant thing which was not bad. It tasted stale. So it was a bit tougher and chewier or I'm not sure if that's how it was supposed to be ? I'm sure if it was fresh it would have been better. My daughter ended up getting a fruit smoothie and a hello kitty looking Madeline that was banana flavored she really liked that. There are no prices on the things that aren't at their coffee station area. I did ask the guy up front that it was my first time here and I wasn't sure what to get, he just stared at me. Didn't say anything. And then corrected me when I asked for the waffle thing. Soo.. there's that. So I guess come here if you know what you want. Or come during non less busy hours. We only came by because it was across the street from our therapy appointment. But left more disappointed.. and I spent $22 with tip. Not even sure what I paid for or the prices it all happened so fast. So go here don't go here. We will probably try another place.

It's honestly one of the first welcoming beacons you see after getting through TSA and heading down to the gates. It's a refreshing change from the usual airport lineup, especially compared to the typical Starbucks. The drink options are fantastic, with a great variety that goes beyond your standard coffee, breakfast menu, and you can really taste the quality. That said, the ordering process can be a bit confusing. It's not always clear whether you should order at the tablet or directly with staff, which can slow things down a bit, especially during busy travel times. The sitting is also limited. It might be better to grab and go. It does get busy, lines are pretty common, but honestly, that's to be expected. When you're at the airport, caffeine is non-negotiable, and this spot is clearly a favorite. Overall, a great stop for quality coffee before a flight, just plan a little extra time. I will likely be back during my travels.

We used the kiosk and it was easy and quick. We got two breakfast sandwiches ($18), a latte ($7), and a cortado ($5). The coffee was delicious, as always. The breakfast sandwiches were okay. I would say they are filling but don't have too much flavor. The staff were very nice and got our food out quickly (though we were there at 4am). All in all, it's a good option for coffee and breakfast in terminal 2.
