    As you can see, very thin layer of avocado, and the toast is soggy
    Tom R.

    Wife and I decided to stop by on our way home from an errand. Starting off, parking was tough to find since it's right by UNCG on a busy street. However, the street was a cute little area, especially for a college part of town. If I was a college student or lived close by and could walk here, I'd consider it if it wasn't for the food and coffee. Wife's espresso drink was way too strong, ingredient proportions were off and the espresso was very bitter and acidic. My matcha tea latte had too much foam, almost half of my mug. Avocado toast was probably the worst I've had in a long time. It was toasted bread yet came out a bit soggy with a few slices of tomatoes on top. And if you look closely, the avocado layer is very minimal. I would describe the amount of avocado as a very thin layer of butter you'd put on toast. And there was no flavor to it, whether because it wasn't seasoned at all, there wasn't enough of it to taste, or most likely both. Only reason it doesn't get a 1 star is for the friendly service and staff. We won't be coming back again.

    It's time for second coffee and we landed here finding street parking in front. A friendly barista was able to prepare two great lattes and we sat here for a bit to wait out some of the rain. It's a comfy coffee shop with lots of seating and different pastry options through we'd already had breakfast this morning. [Review 19956 overall - 3443 in North Carolina - 930 of 2023.]

    Ordered a Latte and a scone - I've never seen a scone that made a bag look like it was full of donuts.....it was not edible. Latte was blah - won't be coming back and can't recommend. In hindsight, I should have gone to Tates across the street

    Breakfast Burrito
    Isabelle B.

    Starting off strong with the simple decor, the perfect feeling and look for a cafe. Not over decorated but hints at what it's known for. The cutest part was the coffee bean bags on the wall. Now the drinks, the berry in love had a perfect balance of mocha and strawberry, it was as if I was enjoying a chocolate dipped strawberry. I also thought the name was very creative. I went back and ordered a strawberry refresher, which lived up to the name refresher. The strawberry was there but not overly sweet and really was refreshing. The breakfast burrito could've been a perfect score for me if the potatoes were a little more cooked through, they just were too hard for a burrito. And the service was amazing!! My barista was fast and even left a cute message on my cup!! And the one who gave me my food was sweet and made sure I had everything! Will definitely be coming back!!

    Avocado toast

    First time here. Ordered avocado toast and water. The person at the register had to explicitly tell the person next to her how to make it and what ingredients go in it- even pulling up the menu for them and wrote out the ingredients on a napkin. So it was no surprise that when it was given to me, it was the saddest toast I've ever had - so soggy I couldn't eat it. Won't come here again.

    Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese

    Arrived at the location close to brunch time, barely busy with no one in line. Ordered two bagels to go with cream cheese and one with bacon and was disappointed. Was given a tiny block of cream cheese on the side, not on the bagel. The bagel itself was not toasted well, as it was hard to chew at some times, especially with barely any cream cheese. No utensil was given to apply the cream cheese as well. Bacon was also slightly undercooked, was expecting a bit of a crunchiness on it. It was also a bit on the saltier side. The environment featured a nice and cozy setting but the ambiance was a bit too loud for a coffee shop.

    Update/ response to management comment below: I'll address my bagel first. The bagel she gave me didn't come from the basket where the other bagels were she grabbed it off the counter from another small pile (2-3 bagels that were together) Next point- I asked for no capers or onions. I Never mentioned dill which is something that's listed on the ingredients to come on it.. they put one little piece. It's sad.. 3rd point. I have about 30 photos of bagels from about 3-4 months ago when I use to come in all the time!! They are FULL of salmon and exactly what I expect when I order. I have been there more times than I can count.. I can show you what they use to look like and it's nothing like it that sad bagel I was served. Additionally, I ENDED UP PAYING $14 FOR THE BAGEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!! So.. in the past I've had the best device here. HOWEVER, they have new kitchen staff.. and I'm just disappointed. My bagel tasted stale and I paid $9 for a lox bagel with 2 tiny slivers of salmon.. they didn't even put any dill on it.. I mean COME ON!! When I asked if I could pay for an additional few pieces they charged me $4 for 2 more pieces. The manager at the counter was rude and blamed the now tiny portion on the owner.. Honestly save your time and money go to Brueggers bagels.. This is my first time back here in 3-4 months and I'm sad to say it declined so much.. UPDATE: While I was there with a friend still eating the manager (that was rude) proceeded to get a call from what I assume is the owner and I could hear her VERY loudly (I was on the other side of the restaurant) talking about me and the review I left. It was unprofessional and I won't be returning. Save your time and money and go to another coffee shop!!!

    Red pepper Gouda soup
    Beverley A.

    I am fan! I must admit, the gelato drew my attention, but it is certainly not what this place should be reviewed on. Gelato- Probably need a better manner of storage. The top layer had a textured film on it and a little too sweet. I tasted the pumpkin and tiramisu flavours. Coffee: The coffee is perfect! There was no bitter after taste. Usually some coffee places you taste the bitterness after the first taste or after it has been left out for a while. I did not experience this. Coffee was brilliant Soup: Cold day- I needed a cup of soup. I was very impressed with the red pepper gouda soup. (The name did not sound appealing initially.) The soup has a beautiful roasted red pepper taste to it, and a smokey gouda flavor to it. I really enjoyed it! I will be stopping by there for seconds this week! Prices are decent.

The lobster tail was basically a crispy croissant filled with pastry cream that had no discernible pistachio flavor. Tasty but definitely more of a French pastry. The cookies were all supposedly different flavors but I couldn't tell them apart. They were a basic shortbread dyed different colors, had gummy, flavorless fillings and tasted old. There was 1 biscotti in the box and I'm sorry to say that my not at all Italian mom has made better biscotti. Definitely very pricey considering the quality. It makes me sad that there is still nowhere to get good Italian pastries here.

Tried their crepes for the first time and loved it as well. As someone who drinks coffee daily, they make really good lattes. The salted honey was that perfect balance of sweet and salty without being too much of either. This is the perfect breakfast/brunch restaurant. They're consistent, personable and efficient. Can't wait to come back and check out some new items.

The vibe inside gives off quiet workspace/library, and definitely gives off the lobby of an Inn (think Gilmore Girls.)

The first thing I remember realizing was that it wasn't very sweet. Which is not a bad thing, sometimes they can be made really sweet other times they can be not so sweet.

That said, I visited on Easter, so the church lot was full, but we were still able to find a spot to parallel park at the end of the street. They serve a decent variety of coffee and other drinks, but have a limited food/pastry menu. I got an iced lavender vanilla latte with oat milk, which is something I order at a lot of places. Sometimes, the lavender tastes so artificial it reminds me of eating soap -- I think certain brands of syrup taste better than others. That was not the case here. I don't know what brand they use, but it must be one of the better ones, because it tasted mild and delicious. Both lavender and vanilla came through. The espresso was smooth and not bitter. The ratios of everything were great as well -- not too much oat milk but not too little -- the perfect latte.
