    Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Kolache with Strawberry Lemonade
    Markiesa B.

    First time visiting due to having an offline offer. I tried the bacon, egg and cheese kolache and ordered 2. They were surprisingly good and very soft I would get them again. If I come back I would try one of the wraps on the menu. Very clean and bright inside as well.

    It's a nice grab-and-go spot for quick meals. It's unfortunate that they don't have seating in the restaurant. I was traveling when I went here but luckily found a patio that I could eat it comfortably. The food was good! Everything is prepped beforehand so once you order all that's really left to do is heat it up. It was surprising good for how fast it's prepared. The sandwich had a good amount of toppings and was filling. The soup tasted very rich and cozy.

    1/2 Buffalo chicken wrap and potato salad. Potato salad was great
    Wes P.

    Stumbled upon this spot looking for a bite in downtown Raleigh. Cute small spot. Great for a quick bite to eat. You can't go wrong with any sandwich. I really loved the buffalo chicken wrap. Def have to recommend the potato salad as a side!

    I ordered online and walked over to pick it up. It was ready and waiting on the shelf with my name on it. A large caesar salad with chicken, hold the croutons. The romaine lettuce was perfect. No wilted leaves, no cores mixed in. The chicken was cooked properly and an appropriate amount was added for the upcharge I paid. There was enough dressing and there was enough shredded parrmesan. It's easy to screw up a salad. Carroll's got it completely right and I'll be getting lunch from them again. [Review 12955 overall, 271 of 2020.]

    It's always great when you get a business that's able to intertwine a great social cause along with great food and Carroll's Kitchen does just that. Serving as both a take-out sandwich shop and also an organization to help women gain business and professional skills. Ever since their launch several years back, the food has been consistently delicious and fresh! From their signature kolaches to pressed sandwiches and pastries, they haven't missed a beat as they moved from Chef Liz to their current chef, Ryan. I had a chance to preview their Winter menu and thumbs up to the meatloaf sandwich which is thick and hearty paired with BBQ sauce and provolone. The Squash Nosh quiche is fantastic, amped up with bacon bits embedded in a soft egg base. Service is solid at Carroll's Kitchen and it's great opportunity for the employees here to work on their customer service skills given the downtown Raleigh crowd. So hooray for Carroll's Kitchen and their staff that make it a delicious and wonderful lunch spot!

    Tuna Salad Snack Pack

    CK's has the best grab and go lunch in downtown Raleigh! I got the tuna salad snack pack with three homemade salads plus cheese slices, but there were also salads, sandwiches, and kolaches! I'll be back soon.

    Ordered ahead for lunch and picked up easily. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend. It looks like a small place so I think takeout is best.

    Such a great spot downtown for lunch! Great location, great food, great cause. I love their quiches, sandwiches, salads, kolaches and dessert. They always have vegetarian and pescatarian options but don't usually offer vegan options. They offer comfort food with lots of flavor. I ordered a few dishes for Christmas too and it was so convenient and delicious. I love that they support women coming from difficult circumstances to help with employment and education opportunities! You can order online or walk up for quick service. There's no area to dine in but they are some parks nearby to enjoy a bite.

    Just updating to say I'm SO excited they added a vegan sandwich option - Nina's vegan supreme. (They don't serve it everyday so call and ask). But it's a delicious BLT with avocado and the "B" is smokey and BBQ-y. Got 1/2 vegan supreme and 1/2 tomato basil soup (also vegan) This is one of my favorite places in DTR. I take all my friends here and show it off. The food is delicious and the service is always extremely fast and friendly. I usually get the 2 kolaches and a cup of soup special. I also love that Carroll's Kitchen is giving back to the community, providing employment to those in need, and teaching useful skills. I will continue to go back frequently.

    This visit, our first, we ordered several items to try as much as we could, as we had a restaurant.com gift certificate. The kolache's both sweet and savory, one of each. Sandwiches, and other items filled with yummy goodness, A great little place, that gives back to the community. It's a take out place, with no seating to speak of, so plan to have a place to go with your food (a nearby park) or back to your office. The staff are very friendly, and helpful when it comes to explaining what's in the kolaches and sandwiches. Will definitely eat here next time I find myself in the area.

    Stopped & got the Turkey Brie! Most delicious sandwich for breakfast!

    Bailey's Fine Jewelry was very kind and accommodating with my initial return after my husband…read morepurchased gold and diamond earrings for Christmas. I decided that for the investment, I would prefer an updated wedding band instead and was looking at a two-tone style. The sales process started smoothly, and sizing seemed straightforward at first. However, the communication around ordering and sizing became confusing. I was initially told the ring would take 5-7 days to come in, then 12 weeks, then suddenly it arrived. When the ring came in, it was still too large. After returning to have it adjusted, I was told the wrong size had been ordered (a 5.5 instead of a 5), and that it would need to be reordered again -- potentially another 12 weeks -- with no clear confirmation whether it could even be sized properly once it arrived. Ultimately, I requested a refund, which I did receive, though there was some hesitation due to timing even though the delays were outside of my control. The staff was polite throughout, and I genuinely liked the ring, but the inconsistent communication and sizing issues made the experience more frustrating than it should have been for such an important purchase.

    My name is Nelson Scott. I am a small business owner. On May 17, 2021, I hired Vraiment Financial,…read moreLLC. After having a friendly phone consultation with the owner, Dalaine Waller aka, Laine Bradley, I paid her, her husband Vincent Dale Bradley Jr., and their assistant, who goes by the name Darlesha P., $4,500 for a 6 months contract of service (Please find contract attached). In the contract, I was promised the following items per month: - 5 grants per month (totaling 30 grants). - A copy of the grant research proposals. - Prepared and submitted grant applications, letters of intent, and/or proposals for grants that were researched on behalf of the business. - A copy of the letters of intent and proposals. - Vraiment Financial, LLC will consult with the point of contact once a month. - Monthly coaching calls. - Monthly reports sent.   I never received any of the above mentioned. After months of inactivity and broken promises on their part, In August, I requested a conversation with the owner. She refused. It was then agreed that the contract would be terminated, my money would be returned, and for the inconvenience Vraiment caused, 10 grants would be applied to on the behalf of my company. Attached, please find the email sent by Vraiment promising to apply for 10 grants on the behalf of my company and process my full refund by 08-23-21. Since August 18th, 2021, I've been trying to get my money back from The Bradleys and Vraiment. They've ignored every email and DM, their phone number is disconnected, and they've blocked me on all of their social media accounts. As of 10-04-21, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY REFUND!. Vraiment told me they sent the refund, but would not tell me when or by what method. I was forced to file a claim with my bank due to the refund never being credited to my account. Vraiment was referred to me by someone I trusted. I checked references, I googled, and before I made the decision to work with them, I prayed. I thought I did everything right. Now, I feel stupid. They're a black woman owned business that I desperately wanted to support and instead of telling you how happy I am with their service, I'm left having to file complaints against them. I have filed complaints with the SBA Inspector General, North Carolina Consumer Complaints, The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, The Better Business Bureau, The Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division, and The Federal Trade Commission's Fraud Division. I've also filed a complaint against Vincent Dale Bradley Jr. with The Office of the Naval Inspector General and have consulted with the Cyber Crimes Division of the District Attorney's Office. As far as I'm concerned, Dalaine Waller aka Laine Bradley, Vincent Dale Bradley Jr., their assistant Darlesha P., and business partners, Tranika Warner, and Cyntoni Miller, are all frauds. I trusted them and they have taken advantage of my kindness and trust. Also, please take note of the 12 companies they've opened within the last two years: Black ON the Business, LLC PoBox 45433 Phoenix, AZ 85064 Bradley Tax & Associates Inc. 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Bradley Venues Inc. 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Bradley Warner Academy Inc., 3105 Corners Mill Drive Peachtree Corners, GA 30095 Elnora Adrienne Transportation Inc 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Emerald Peak Cleaning Inc. 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Emerald Peak Investment Group 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Margaritas And Manis Beauty Bar LLC 4302 Springs Creek Lane Apt 4302 Sandy Springs, GA 30350 Munchkin Munchies Vending Machines Inc. 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 The Laine B. Brand Inc. 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Vraiment Financial LLC 4302 Springs Creek Lane Apt 4302 Sandy Springs, GA 30350 Vraiment Financial LLC 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 I entered into this situation with very high hopes for success. I paid $4500 upfront and believed that my company would be treated with dignity and respect. Instead, I got cheated and ignored. This entire situation could have easily been settled with a simple conversation between myself and Dalaine, but because I don't have a large social media following and they already had my money, neither my company nor my grievances with Vraiment were ever taken seriously. My advice, don't work with Vraiment Financial. And never pay full price upfront.
