    good experience here! There is inside and outside seating, plenty of free parking in the lot, and free wifi. They have a handful of food options, and coffee was good! Got a iced caramel latte for around $6.30

    Smallest coffee ever
    Karlie W.

    I mean this might be the most mid coffee I've ever had. I make coffee so much better than this. Not to mention $8 for a sippy cup? Like cmon a mini 14oz for 8 bucks? You can't even bless me with a 16oz? It's so small that I doubt it has any caffeine honestly. The service was okay. That is the only reason it's getting more than 1 star. If you're looking for a bad coffee run on a beautiful morning, go here. Will not be coming back. Enough said.

    Nice atmosphere and good menu selection Good amount of parking and power outlets along the walls. Spotty wifi connection so not the best place to work for more than a few hours

    Mixed feelings about BREW - let's sort it out. First and foremost, the service was 5 stars. I asked the barista about the seasonal strawberry syrup they had listed. He was super helpful in making suggestions on what I may like and how to incorporate it. We decided on an iced latte with strawberry and white chocolate. He asked me what level of sweetness I liked as well, and I said middle of the road would be good. He was super kind and I really appreciated his willingness to make solid suggestions and he was just overall very pleasant! After looking through the photos, it seems like the iced lattes that were ordered to enjoy at the store are maybe bigger than the to-go option. I don't think I was asked what size I wanted... but this was the tiniest coffee I've ever seen. After all the ice, I feel like it was less than 8 ounces. I drank the whole thing before I was out of the parking lot. It was still like $7 or $8, with the oat milk swap which I felt like was CRAZY for a tiny coffee. I normally go for like a 20 oz and the price point is usually around what I paid for this. I ended up stopping to get another coffee somewhere else because it just wasn't enough. The espresso in the coffee had a very nice flavor, but I wish I could've tasted the flavor more. Maybe there was less syrup since I said I preferred it not super sweet, but I really wanted to taste the strawberry and it just wasn't there. It's a really nice ambiance and the service was nice, but I don't know that I'd make it a point to come back. I would like to give more stars since the service was really good, but the taste and value just don't warrant it unfortunately.

    Bright and airy space. The flat white was creamy and well-balanced. Great selection of pastries too

    Brew's Raleigh location is bright and minimalistic with lots of seating. Our drink took a bit to come out even though the cafe was pretty empty. We ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte, which was watered down and mainly tasted like syrup. We enjoyed Brew's atmosphere but didn't feel that their coffee lived up to our expectations.

    Pretty good coffee. I got an iced vanilla latte with almond milk, less sweet. Cool atmosphere. Convenient location I'll definitely be back!

    This was my first time at this location. It seems McNeill Point is crowded no matter what time of day it is (9:30 a.m.), but I found a parking spot a ways down. The inside is open, bright and inviting with a good number of seats. The barista greeted me when I approached the counter and answered some questions I had. Since I'd already had cold brew that morning I went with the watermelon mint spritzer. They steep fresh watermelon to make the syrup. It didn't have too much mint flavor, but was still refreshing. Needing to do some work, I grabbed a table by the windows and looked like there were power outlets available at most, fortunately. The only issue I had was that it was freezing! I had goosebumps the entire time. There was a steady stream of people for most of the time I was there, but it seemed to be slowing down a little when I left close to noon.

    Stopped in to kill some time while I waited for my dog to get groomed. It was my first time at this location and as soon as I opened the door I could hear smooth jazz blaring through the speakers and the smell of fresh coffee! Nothing like it! I ordered a small drip coffee, of course with oatmilk and a cinammon roll. The atmosphere is open and bright which makes for a chill space to get work done or even just zone out to escape reality for a bit. My coffee was delicious and HOT, just how I like it. The cinammon roll was tasty as it was flaky like a croissant and not too sweet, again, just like I like it. The staff were friendly and helpful. So happy I stopped in, will definitely be back

    Customer service was awesome. Super nice people. But you get a very small coffee for the price you pay.

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.

The inside was VERY well decorated, and I would've loved to stay and do a little computer work! I could see myself coming by and sitting down for a quick brunch, meeting up with friends, or staying for a work session.

My partner got the iced version--which was somehow even better than the warm version. I don't like my coffee drinks too sweet, and they struck exactly the right balance. It tasted like there was real strawberry (and not just a super-sweet syrup).

This was such a nice touch! There's a good amount of seating inside, but we sat outside since it was such a nice day.

Unfortunately, this is probably because the chairs were the equivalent of sitting on a guitar pick. The rest of the decor similarly resembled a mid-century modern insane asylum. All this is child's play compared to the drinks. I was hoping they would redeem the experience. I was rooting for you, iris coffee lab. The matcha left me wanting more. I couldn't taste even a whisper of matcha flavoring, and the price was laughable for a glass of green milk. When my flat white arrived, I felt that twinkle return to my eye. Sadly, about 3 sips later, as I neared the end of my beverage I was shocked to discover a texture component I was not expecting. After a lot of contemplation, I have decided I am not a fan of coffee grounds swirling around my mouth. The customers are hip and trendy, the employees exceedingly friendly and speedy, the drinks bespoke and innovative, but I think we need to cut out the frills and go back to the basics. Why play 3D chess when you've yet to master tic tac toe? I think the experience was net neutral, but for how steep the pricing is, I feel it's my duty to let the world know what they're getting into.

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.

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.
