The service has always been friendly and fairly quick when it gets busy. Not to mention the prices are still affordable compared to everywhere else.

Stopped by Benchwarmers earlier this weekend and wow these bagels are so good! Kind of what I would…read moreimagine a Montreal bagel to taste like where it doesn't need to be toasted and has a bit of a sweet taste. When you arrive there is plenty of parking on the street around the Transfer Co. Food Hall or in the parking lot around the food hall. When you walk in you'll feel like you're transported into an old warehouse as the space is industrial, feels community driven (as all the businesses are local), and chic. To order you'll walk up to the counter, place your order, and then someone will callout your order. I ordered an everything bagel with maître d'hotel cream cheese spread which feels like I'm eating a steak frites (minus the steak of course). The bagel was perfectly chewy, flavorful, and I couldn't stop eating it. There are several poppyseeds on the outside of the everything bagel but it isn't overpowering. Definitely check this bagel shop out if you are in downtown Raleigh.

Their bagels are wood fired so they're not your traditional style of bagels and are a bit harder and chewier. Their variety of cream cheese flavors is what really sets them apart in my opinion - they very dense and creamy. They also have a very unique menu with many different seasonal offerings that rotate frequently. Over the years, I've fine tuned down my order to a couple things each of which I think are 10/10 and some of the best breakfast options in Raleigh! - Grits bagel with dulce pecan or fruit cream cheese (I prefer the grits bagel over plain) - Poppy bagel with spiced honey cream cheese (warning the poppy bagel can be a little messy but worth it) - Breakfast sandwich with sausage and American cheese (sausage is the best - a little sweet and spicy) Every time I go, the staff is always very nice and provides quick service. It can be busy during the mornings and weekends, however they do offer online ordering where you can easily pick up your food and avoid the lines. This location is in transfer food hall, which has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, however they also have a new standalone location that recently opened. If you go to that location, I definitely recommend trying the coconut caramel latte!

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!

Lovely and cute bistro with lots of boba and drink options!…read more I live right across the street, so the location is perfect for me. This bistro is located in the same shopping center as the Food Lion and Hwy 55. There aren't a lot of parking spots right in front of Boba Beans, but there's plenty right on the other side near Food Lion. This is a great place to grab and go or stay for a while. I've come a few times to work while waiting for my car inspection next door or when I just needed to get out of the house since I work from home. There are plenty of tables and chairs throughout and even some couches if you'd like something more comfortable. I don't like tea or coffee much, so I can't give a review on those, but they have a Citrus Refresher with boba that is absolutely delicious! I always get that when I go. They've recently changed their food menu a bit, so I'm not sure what is best, but I've also always enjoyed the food there as well. It's made fresh to order in-house. My favorite thing about Boba Beans is that they have staff of ALL abilities. I absolutely love seeing how the staff provides opportunities for people with a variety of disabilities. That's what made me fall in love with it! Not a lot of establishments will give people a chance, but it's great to see this happening here! Highly recommend it if you're in the area!

I ordered a Cranberry Pomegranate tea with mango syrup and tapioca pearls using the self-serve kiosk, which was quick and easy. While waiting, I looked around and was really impressed by the space. There are plenty of seating options, a play area for kids, and two fun photo-op walls. I'll definitely be back with my family to try more drinks and check out the food menu as well.

When you arrive there is…read moreplenty of parking out front, behind the coffee shop in the nearby parking lot, or parallel parking across the street. Walking up to the coffee shop you'll see a painted crosswalk with flowers, and beautiful mural of birds on the side of the building, and a purple color front. When you walk in you'll be transported to a cozy, charming, and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are also extremely nice and welcoming. I ordered the seasonal latte which I can't remember what it was called. It had turmeric and some other spaces, I believe it was called the bee latte and it was excellent. I hear the Orange Blossom latte is also really good. Also, check out the upstairs seating area. This is a great coffee shop to spend some time in and also for remote work.

I've learned during my time in the Carolinas that you must request for your coffee to be extra hot which is what I did so it was the perfect temperature. The veggie bagel scramble was decent, no Wao factor but it was a nice quick bite while on the run. Staff seemed nice too, no real complaints here. I consider coming back, but only if I happen to be close by not a place I'd go out of my way for. The location is pretty nice too. I like the curve appeal and the fact that there's plenty of parking. Prices were more than reasonable for today's market, which is nice to see. Solid four stars.

The walls are decorated in sports memorabilia and September 11th tributes. When you walk in, you will see the Statue of Liberty. I tried to sit in the Mets section, but that was taken as it is a busy place, so I sat near the Yankees. I was ok with the photo of Don Mattingly and don't hate the Yankees, I just love the Mets. I made sure to spend some time in that section before leaving, seeing the 1986 tributes to Mike Piazza, Jose Reyes, and David Wright. It is just fun to be surrounded by the memorabilia. The sandwiches also follow in the New York theme. I ordered the Mr. Met, it had ham, turkey, and roast beef with lettuce, provolone, and tomatoes. I've had it before, so I knew it was good and ordered the full size rather than a half. I enjoyed every bite of it. The service was friendly, and they have daily specials with a different sub featured each day. The food was prepared fresh and fast. If you are looking for a high-quality sub, this is the place to order from.
