I got a lavender mocha with oat milk. The only reason why I didn't give it. A five star is because I like my coffee. Just a little bit bolder. When you put in some mixing coffee sometimes goes away. I still had the essence of coffee which let me know that it's a nice medium roast. But I do prefer a dark and bold yet, smooth roast. The blueberry pot tart was OK. 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!

I lucked up and found a parking spot right across the street on this rather hot 4th of July afternoon. I'm glad they were open and I missed the crowds due to the parade & other 4th festivities nearby. The two Baristas were so awesome, I had a great time chatting with them while I waited on my delicious hot Baklava Latte w/ oat milk. I saw their post about it on their IG page and knew I had to try it. They have so many options for coffee, cold brew, matcha, tea and more. They can also make your drink however you like it. But for me if something is on the menu, it's been perfected, so I'm going to try it. They have yummy looking pastries, I'll have to go back and try one of the many varieties of croissants! I sat in the cutest little corner nook looking out the window, it was perfect!! Again, I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally check them out, but I'm super glad I did.

I recently found a hair baked in in my blueberry banana bread and the cashier was quick to rectify this w the option of refund/replacement. Their bakery desserts are beautiful but they aesthetics are as far as my compliments go for them. I tried the strawberry raspberry cheesecake and majority of it was gelatin and chocolate. Didnt taste any cheesecake. Maybe their other items are better! The GOAT is yummy but felt very skimpy on the toppings. I wouldnt say their food is their strong suit here.

But the appearance was only part of the story. The taste of the smoked salmon sandwich was on another level entirely. It was, without question, the best sandwich I've ever had, and I don't think I've had a better one in my life. The decaf latte extraction was incredible too. While the beans were not my favorite (it would be wonderful to consider some counter culture :)) - the extraction and ratio was great. At last, everyone was so friendly. Start to end a perfect experience. If this was near me, I would be a daily customer!

The cream cheese was good, I think it had dill or chives in it. The smoked salmon was very yummy. Now this pickle and these pickled onions could stay wherever they came from. The pickle did not have any taste and it was soft. No crunch. Same with the onions. They were full of vinegar taste and soft. The coffee was good. Just like coffee. Now the Carmel Apple Macchiato was like a Carmel Apple, Sweet. I got mine with Almond milk but I had to go back and top it off with more milk it was full of Carmel. I didn't taste any apple flavor but it was good but really sweet. I did taste the espresso. I think for me if I had this much but with more milk or less Carmel it would have been better. They sit on a corner but you enter on the side kind of. They have seating inside and out. They are quiet until 12 then start playing music. You can bring your laptop and do a little work or read while having lunch. The staff were really friendly. The bathrooms are clean and gender neutral. Give them a try not just a coffee spot they have a bar as well.

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.

When we arrived, we were seated right away and asked to choose our tea flavor. I loved that each person gets their own full pot of tea. It made the experience feel extra special. The food was absolutely delicious! We started with a fresh salad, followed by a beautiful three tier tray filled with sandwiches and desserts. From the scones to the bonbons and mini cakes, everything was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. It truly felt like a full experience, not just a meal. If you are looking for something fun and a little different, I highly recommend trying the tea experience. And if that is not your thing, they also operate as a café where you can stop in and enjoy a treat without committing to the full tea service. Either way, it is definitely worth a visit!
