It looked just like a Little Debbie Christmas Tree. I loved that they had a lot of patio seating. It was perfect for taking our GIANT donut outside to feed to the toddlers. One donut was easily 2-3 regular donuts. Can't wait to return and try the Valentine's Day Menu.

Sonder Coffee is a very popular and charming spot in Wendell Falls. Upon arrival, the line was to…read morethe door and by the time we got to the register, the line was out the door. (So be prepared to wait--and maybe know what you want to order so you're ready when you get to the register.) Before heading out of town, a friend and I were recommended to pop into Sonder for the coffee flight. When we were ready to order, we were advised that they only had enough cups for one iced coffee flight, but they could do a hot coffee flight. Both wanting iced, we opted to get a regular sized coffee and smoothie bowl to go. Though disappointed about the inability to try the (iced) coffee flight, the lattes we did order and my friend's smoothie bowl were delicious! We will definitely be going back to try out their new location and the coffee flight!

A Delightful Surprise…read more 41 North Coffee Co reminds me of 'The Little Engine that Could'. It's a rather small coffee-house / cafe that serves everything from Premium Coffee Concoctions to Biscuits & Gravy to Paninis & Quiche to Wings & Burgers to Steaks & Lasagna to Affogato with a Biscotti (Gelato with Espresso). I think it has the most diverse and extensive menu in our area, and everything I have tasted so far has been delicious. Inside seating a somewhat limited, so it can get crowded during peak hours. There are a couple of outside tables and the roof-top garden is open when the weather turns nice. Except for Sunday dinner, they are open for every meal every day of the week. The Chicken Salad Croissant was slightly sweet and piled high on a large flakey fresh-baked croissant. The Goat Cheese & Fig Panini came with Mozzarella Cheese, Bacon, fresh Spinach and a Balsamic Glaze pressed in Sourdough Bread. It was exceptional. Our grandson devoured a fluffy Waffle and pronounced it the best he had ever had. We also recommend the Spinach Artichoke Quiche - a generous serving of my favorite egg custard tart loaded with Spinach & Artichoke and gooey Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese. The Bacon, Egg & Gouda Sandwich is another winner. The Apple-wood smoked Bacon, Eggs and Cheese are packed into a toasted English Muffin. For something sweet, try the Oreo Cheesecake - simply delicious. One last thing - the Coffee is also very good.

The food was good, until I found hair in it…read more We had just popped in for a quick brunch before heading home. They have a seat yourself service on Sunday, except there were no tables available since they all still had plates/trash on them. Took about 20 minutes until we could order, girl running the cashier was nice and helpful though. Food only took about 15 minutes for my family but about 25 for mine. Family had the Pressed Bagel with ham, egg, and cheese as well as the 3 cheese grilled cheese and I had the bacon, eggs, and side of home fries. Everything was ok, nothing out of this world but then I found a males hair in my food. I wasn't even a quarter into my food so that was extremely wasteful. To top it off, my daughter stood by the counter waiting for someone to help her grab a container for her muffin to-go and the man running that side completely ignored her several times. It wasn't until a young lady walked over that my daughter was able to get her attention for help. For the price we paid it was not even close to worth our time let alone our money. Besides the tables not being busted it was pretty clean, bathrooms were clean, and a cute set up.

I am so grateful that I chose Coca Forte for our Cheesecake Event. They were efficient and timely…read more I was able to order the cheesecake online and pick them up from the onsite location. I ended up order their: Plain, Cocoa Classic, Cocoa Caribbean and their Turtle Pecan Cheesecake. On the day of pickup my pickup time was at 9:15am they were on time. All of her staff that work on site were kind. I would highly recommend cocoa forte if you are looking for desserts and such. Thank you Cocoa Forte!

I've seen pictures of the infamous cheesecake on the stick so I had to check this place out! I…read moreordered the white chocolate raspberry mini and turtle cheesecake on the stick. The mini was so good and creamy. I always thought I needed a graham cracker crust with a cheesecake and was proven wrong with that the mini! I literally could've eaten like 10 of them and was so sad I only purchased two. Now as far as the dipped cheesecake goes..welppp it makes a beautiful picture but the taste is just ok. I think what kinda threw me off was how tart the cheesecake was in comparison to the chocolate. I pictured it being more of like a vanilla cheesecake base.

Parallax Coffee in Wendell, NC was such a great find (thank you @coffee crawl) especially since it…read morewas my first time in Wendell! I'm a sucker for a seasonal menu and the shortbread old fashioned was like heaven in a cup. #Caffeinefix The space is cozy enough to camp out and work remotely, but spacious enough for both big groups and intimate hangs without feeling crowded. The staff was amazing and shoutout to Pamela for supporting my insta moments. To sum it up, this place is comfortable and welcoming. I'll definitely be back!

Parallax has been on my list of coffee shops for some time now, and I finally made it today…read more It's located in downtown Wendell, which is so cute and cozy. There's plenty of parking surrounding Parallax. When I arrived there were 3 others enjoying the very beautiful coffee shop, but by the time I left it had gotten very busy. It's super pretty inside, very spacious and comfortable. I had 2 cookies, the chocolate chip cookie was ok, and the cinnamon roll cookie was delicious. I had a hot brown sugar latte and it was perfect. The service is good. It's a must if you're in Wendell or looking for a cute place to hang out. They are open til 5pm everyday but Sunday, they close at 2pm.

My brother surprised us with a dozen cupcakes from Cake Town Bakery for my youngest's birthday…read morecelebration, and wow they were absolutely incredible! We had a variety of flavors, including chocolate, red velvet, vanilla, and lemon, and every single one was delicious. The cupcakes were unbelievably moist, and the frosting was so light, creamy, and flavorful. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. They disappeared so quickly that I didn't even get a chance to take any pictures! After trying the cupcakes, I checked out their social media and saw they offer a wonderful variety of desserts. I also learned that their cakes are made by pre-order, and after tasting these cupcakes, I'll definitely be keeping them in mind for future birthdays and celebrations. If their cupcakes are any indication of the quality of their cakes and other desserts, I know they'll be amazing. Highly recommend!

I finally got the opportunity to visit for a live music event series that just started at the business. The bakery is nicely decorated with tables inside. They offer beverages and a variety of cakes, cookies, pudding, and other desserts for purchase with a changing menu. The event and musical guest was great. I really enjoyed the singer. The female clerk that I engaged with was pleasant. The male owner was also present during my visit. I ended up buying a piece of pound cake during the event. The cake was moist and tasted good.

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.

It's one thing to offer poor service, a bar that is fundamentally unable to fulfill its core purpose, and a queso so watered down and thin has dissolved into a watery lackluster reality. But to send a server to the table who literally cannot even take a simple food order is about as bad as it could possibly get. Fortunately there is a new gastro pub opening next door that will be offering a much better option than this, cheers!

The burnt out sign and very few patrons should have been a red flag. After going to the Lake Myra…read morelights nearby, this was the first restaurant we came across and not being familiar with the area and assuming nothing else was open, we went in. That was a mistake. I like Mexican food as does our party of four. We each got a different meal, same ingredients remixed and same reaction. One overpowering ingredient - SALT. Perhaps the food was sitting all day or the cook was off for the night but it was really bad. Possibly the worst Mexican I have ever had. The ironic thing was a large group nearby all barely touched their food and one man I saw, when asked, declined a takeaway box. Salt should be a flavor enhancer. It is not a flavor in itself, unless the food was being preserved for a long time or something was being covered up. There was no natural flavors or juices present. It's hard to mess up rice and beans but unfortunately, Agave managed to master. I sampled some of my companions dishes and just nothing special. They have some work to do.
