This is a nice coffee shop in the downtown area of Clayton. They have a digital menu with specialty items along with all the standard coffee shop drinks on the wall. Of course I was in the mood for a bagel, so I chose the everything with cream cheese, and it was packed more that I wanted to each so I took some off. My Americano had room for cream of course so it all made for a great quick breakfast. Workers, parents, business people and passers by all seemed to really enjoy this shop whether seated at a regular table, a high one, the bar, or an outside seating option, it was all very inviting with friendly staff to help. I noticed a guy go around the corner and come back with pastries so when I turned the corner myself I noticed that the space is shared with a company Burney's who, on the way to the restroom, had a huge display of treats. I'll a photo on their page as well. Great spot!

The food and coffee are exceptional. The Açaí bowl is a favorite of mine and always tastes fresh. It's on the pricey side so be prepared to pay $20 for a drink and a meal. Service is fast and friendly! If the weather is nice, the staff open the windows which lets you enjoy the weather while still being indoors.

Love when they open all of the front windows in the mornings when the weather is nice. Staff are friendly. They remember you when you come in regularly. They have great drinks but the cappuccino is my favorite. Doesn't really even need sugar. I also love their avocado toast and breakfast sandwiches.

I really enjoyed my time here, girlfriend & I sat at the counter for roughly 2 hours chatting. I ordered a dirty chai with oat milk, she grabbed the caramel macchiato- we both enjoyed our drinks. Everyone was super friendly. I watched the employees fulfill orders & created happy customers. I noticed the lucky charm drink was popular along with the bacon egg & cheese everything bagel. It looked amazing but I don't like microwave meat & eggs however it seems to work well for this establishment (almost like Starbucks) This place truly offers a friendly neighborhood feel. I can't wait to visit again.

great options for adults and kids. The food is actually delicious as well. somethings for everyone !!!

Absolutely recommend for brunch! I enjoyed a delicious iced latte and berry waffle. It was just the perfect combination of flavors and a great way to enjoy brunch after a nice walk in Clayton, NC.

Blvd West is a great place! First time there today, small, but fast paced. The people were so nice, calm and patient. They have a good few items for breakfast and lunch but I feel like if you do it really well, that's all you need! I had the Blvd Bypass with the Cheddar Jalapeño Bagel and a cappuccino with 1 pump of toffee nut. I could literally eat this breakfast sandwich every day of my life. I'm not HUGE fan of pimento, but this was more like cream cheese consistency, truly chefs kiss. I highly recommend it!

Best Coffee place in Clayton if you are a coffee, espresso cappuccino lover. The food is also delightful and there are plenty of options. Great place for breakfast or brunch with the family and friends. Friendly staff

Coffee is a solid 5 stars. We have had the coffee specials of the day and really enjoyed them. Staff is friendly and efficient, don't have to wait long for drinks and food after you order at the counter. The food is ok. Had sandwiches here before - turkey and cheese had too much yellow mustard and the chicken salad had pickle and watercress that just did not hit the mark. Pound cake today is really cold that makes it not exactly pleasant to eat. Will come for coffee and skip the food going forward.

Hip Coffee shop on Main St. in Clayton. Wife had a Carmel Macchiato coffee and egg & cheese sandwich while I had the waffle with fruit. Everything was delicious, but a bit pricey. Would have liked to have had some more juice options.

HIDDEN CHARGES. Food was decent. Ultimate Waffle is covered in peanut butter but also in the every hole of the waffle. It was inedible because of the amount of peanut butter, so I had to scrape it off to have my breakfast. Nice service and a pretty place but, if you want the menu to reflect the price of your food it does not. Bacon on the bacon egg and cheese is +$1. If you buy a specialty drink that includes cold foam and syrup those will be extra charges on top of the $6.75 it costs to get a medium drink. Then, it will also not have any of the things that are stated to be in the drink. (No cold foam I payed for.) If you are looking to be disappointed come to Boulevard West! read more

This is my 2nd visit here this week and both times the drinks/food have come out quickly and taste delicious! I ordered an iced coffee and a sausage egg& cheese on a croissant. The atmosphere here is very chill, they have some tables in the front, side and a quiet space in the back. They also have doors that open to an outdoor patio with astroturf. We came on Sunday with a few other couples and all of our children, they could play safely in the fenced in patio, while we conversed. I highly recommend for a quick bite or enjoying a lunch break outside. Oh and btw, they also serve beer/wine for the evenings. Give em a try! read more

Had trouble initially fining the place, since address hasn't changed yet on Yelp! One we arrived and parked in the back lot, we walked through the adjacent bakery to get to the shop. The new look is industrial, with exposed ceiling, long flat tables and stools. Line was moving quickly and orders were coming out efficiently. When I first walked in it was packed, but we still walked out with a breakfast sandwich and a drink within 10 minutes of arrival (around 8:35 AM on a Thursday). Staff was friendly. Bacon egg and cheese croissant was melty and gone in seconds. I'm still sipping on the decaf macchiato, want to savor and enjoy! read more

The idea of this place is nice. Very small coffee shop with a hipster vibe for sure. The menu seems the same, but once you receive your food, it's not. We paid $30 for a muffin, a bagel with cream cheese and two breakfast sandwiches. Yea, we were eating out for breakfast, so, fair enough. The problem is that everything was store bought and microwave cooked right in front of us. There wasn't anything special to it. Literally, the employees were basically waiting in a line to microwave our food. There's not like a hot griddle or a stove top. What we got in these breakfast sandwiches, really, were frozen ingredients that we could have combined on our own. There was nothing special to it. My daughter did get a 'pumpkin' chai tea which was actually a chai tea with pumpkin spiced sprinkled over the top. Let's call it what it is. If you're just stopping by for a coffee, or a drink later in the day, I'm sure this place is great. The value, for me, just isn't there. read more

I really enjoy Boulevard! The coffee is great, I typically get a latte and have loved it every time. The service is quick and the ambiance is cozy. There is some space outdoors for those with kids or dogs. I love the music as well, it has been a George Ezra vibe every time I've gone. It does smell a bit of cleaning products, which I don't prefer for a coffee shop. However, other than that I love it and would recommend to anyone in the area - it's the best coffee around. read more

Nothing here is fresh. Everything is store bought down to the egg patties they microwave for your sandwich.

We just moved into the area and love visiting Boulevard!! They have outdoor and indoor seating; plenty of space, and their outdoor area is pup friendly!! They have some of the best coffee and chai tea lattes in the area. When their pumpkin products are in season I highly recommend ordering a pumpkin chai because it's one of the best I've had! I wish they would keep it on the menu year round because I'm legit addicted. If you're interested in food, they have a variety to choose from including sandwiches, waffles and baked goods.

The staff was friendly, welcoming, and moved with purpose--no one was just standing around. I ordered the herb-crusted salmon mesa bowl and it did not disappoint. The salmon was seasoned well with a perfect sear, and the sides actually felt fresh and intentional, not like fillers. Loved the kale, the sweet potatoes, and that corn was shockingly good. The green sauce on the side added the right kick and pulled everything together. Portions are generous, the food tastes clean and well-prepared, and the atmosphere feels like a local favorite in the making. I'll definitely be back.

I love the food and atmosphere. Plenty of outdoor seating and I'm obsessed with their Chicago dogs…read more I do wish that there was a less crowded ordering space. The restaurant is usually busy during lunch hours when I've gone and it can get very claustrophobic standing in line with the small space available.

The booths are spotless, comfy, and practically beg you to linger--at least until the crowd rolls in. When it's quiet, it's charming. When it's busy, it's loud. Think espresso machines competing with over enthusiastic kids and a room that amplifies every giggle, shuffle, and snack-time negotiation. Intimate in size, big on personality, and absolutely buzzing when the tiny humans take over--come for the coffee, stay for the chaos (or bring noise-canceling headphones). The staff here are the kind of friendly that feels genuine, not rehearsed--always attentive, always moving, They whip up a solid cortado with confidence, but where they really shine is the cappuccino: velvety, balanced, and clearly made by people who care about the details. The breakfast sandwiches are freshly made, warm, and reliably good--nothing fancy or overthought, just simple, satisfying fuel done right. The prices have a bit of main-character energy--slightly higher than you expect, confidently so, your wallet may raise an eyebrow, but the coffee shrugs and says, worth it. Cheers!

I guess because we are from SW Florida we tend to forget that not as many people are eating outside at this time of year. The servers here were more than sweet, they came out and seated us outside even though we were the only ones! Aubrey was our waitress and she was most helpful. She kept checking on us while our food was cooking. David had an IPA and a lamb burger and a side of macaroni and cheese. He couldn't stop raving about the burger. I had a cheeseburger and grilled asparagus. It was very good! So we really enjoyed all the ladies that came out to talk to us and make us comfortable. A nice surprise in a city we haven't been to!

From the very first spoonful, the texture stands out -- unbelievably smooth, rich, and creamy without feeling overly heavy. It has a silkiness that melts perfectly on your tongue, creating a luxurious experience that regular ice cream just can't quite match. The flavor is equally impressive. The vanilla tastes pure and authentic, with a subtle sweetness that never overwhelms your palate. Instead of being sugary, it delivers a balanced, comforting taste that feels both indulgent and refreshing at the same time. You can tell it's made fresh -- every bite has that just-churned quality that elevates it beyond typical frozen treats.

The interior of the restaurant is very simple, which is exactly what I'd expect for this type of place, but the gingham tablecloths are still welcoming.
