Needed a more quiet space to get some work done for about an hour, but once a table opened up the table next to it had some loud talkers and it was not conducive to focused work. The staff is nice and helpful. They seem to always have a smile! The coffee is great. Always fresh. The bakery items are good too! I have tried about half of their regular fare and they never disappoint. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is it seems some people camp out there to get work done for hours on end. It makes those of us who want to just get out of a normal office setting to enjoy some coffee and a snack have a hard time finding a spot. Other than that, love the casual vibe and change of pace.

The flat white coffee was delicious too Sola is the perfect spot to enjoy brunch with your friends or work from home spot. They have great sunny outside space and during the cold months, they have a heated, covered patio. The staff are always super friendly when asking for recommendations! The bring your food to the table which is convenient and you pick up your drinks at the counter. If you go on a busy Saturday morning, the line is always out the door but it moves quick and it is so worth it! This is my favorite coffee shop in Raleigh. It offers so much more than great coffee.

Upon entry the store - it felt like a cozy spot to have a bite to eat and a cup of coffee with a friend or to study. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Each time was made fresh and quickly. During my visit there weren't a lot of people - so I am not sure how service speed would be on an extremely busy day. I ordered a build it your self sandwich that came out to about $10. The cost of food and the quality - I felt it was worth the pricing. Will be back to taste some of the other food items and coffee.

The staff were very friendly and helpful as they have a large selection to choose from. It's a very nice location to grab something and keep on trucking or have a sit down and take a break.

My wife went with a basic iced coffee with milk, but I got a big one that was a mocha and butterscotch mix (I forget their name for it.) Being from more north, it felt like a step up from a Dunkin' Donuts. The drink was quite sweet with that coffee syrup familiarity for the flavor. For a chain, it's a nice option.

On a nicer day you can sit outside if you prefer. My daughter ordered the waffle with Nutella, and since she wanted syrup, we added the cinnamon glaze. She really enjoyed it. I do wish they had whipped cream as an option because I feel like waffles and whipped cream just go together, but that's honestly a small thing. I ordered the avocado toast with the fried egg on top and also the house-made granola. I did not realize the granola serving was going to be so big, so I definitely over-ordered, but no regrets because everything was so good. The avocado toast was delicious. The bread was soft, fresh, and filling, and the whole thing was just really satisfying. I ended up taking the granola to go, and later that day when I ate it, I was like wow... it was still amazing. Honestly one of the best granola and yogurt bowls I've had. So good. I also got an almond latte. Nothing overly fancy, just a solid latte done well. Staff were friendly and patient, especially with my daughter wanting to order. That always means a lot. Another plus: plenty of parking, and they have two single-stall bathrooms, which is helpful. I also really like the Lafayette Village area in general. After you eat, you can walk around, hang out, and enjoy the area a bit. So it can be a quick coffee stop, or you can make a little outing out of it. Definitely worth checking out.

They are located in a VERY BUSY shopping center. Lots of folks sticking around to hang outdoors in the area. Thankfully I found parking in the lot downstairs in a parking garage with a short walk over. The line was long but moved fast. It was cold and sorta dark inside and crowded compared to it being nice outside, so I chose to sit outside. The courtyard side was packed, so I sat on the parking lot side. Not the best view, but got the job done. They were still serving biscuits, but were no longer serving the oatmeal which was a disappointment. I got the yogurt instead and didn't care for the toppings. My coffee and food came out fast and the biscuit tasted amazing. The biscuit was large, the egg and bacon were perfectly cooked and the iced coffee was delicious. The food is the shining star here. I just wish the ambiance was better. I will be back on a weekday when it's less people to contend with.

Their biscuits are incredible, I highly recommend the bacon egg and cheese biscuit, but all of their offerings are tasty. Overall, great food and drinks!

It was crowded both times but the line moves quick and the service is fast! People come there with laptops to work, but I don't see how as it is very busy and noisy and crowded. They have patio seating in both the front and back with the front overlooking a busy parking lot and the back being adjacent to green space busy with families. The biscuit is the star of the show. It's very large and the egg and bacon I get along with are always well prepared. My latte the first time was better than my second trip, but still solid. I also Got the banana bread with chocolate chips. It was a great size and served warm upon request. I would come here for the food and coffee, but the ambiance may not be for everyone.

Great prices for a nice mimosa or beer to enjoy while shopping and you get to keep the cute cup. The staff were all extremely helpful and guided me through their greenhouse helping me find things that suited my needs. They had a private party in a room off to the side that is semi-private. I could see a bit and it was very cute and a nice size for hosting. There were not many plants outside on the front and the greenhouse was nicely stocked but not full. So some may consider the selection a bit small, but it was still nice. They had tons of beautiful pottery and lots of supplies to also choose from. The prices on some of the plants seemed high for other places in the area I've seen the same or similar. I would definitely come back!

The…read moretrivia itself is actually one of the more challenging trivias that I have attended, but it's very fun. I really, really enjoy the food options they have and particularly love one of their salads, although I can't quite remember, which one at this time. I know it is one that has a vinaigrette! I've tried two or three different sandwiches and all of them have been really good. They also have a decent selection of beverages, including coffee and tea, alcoholic, and nonalcoholic items. My only wish is that they had some sort of newsletter, or a more regular calendar for me to be able to keep track of when they have trivia (like every other Friday or something would be nice!). I will definitely be checking back for future trivia postings!

While there, I grabbed a latte and the Thorin breakfast biscuit. To add prosciutto it would have been an extra $3, which would have made the breakfast biscuit $9.25. Does that feel excessive? Yes. Do I wish I had done it? Also yes. The biscuit was good but it needed something else and I do think the meat would have been a good add. The latte was just okay. We're very lucky to have so many good coffee spots in the area so they are up against steep competition. Overall, really neat concept, cute spot, great for teleworking.
