But when I asked them about their drip coffees, I was pointed toward some machines in the back for a DO-IT-YOURSELF experience. That's a real turn off for me. It's alright in a cafeteria. But not in a coffee shop. Minimalist. Otherwise, it was clean, parking was easy enough, the employees were cool and the drink was delicious. Still, no need to go out of my way to return.

This week for my coffee shop Saturday's I visited Cup A Joe's on Avent Ferry, near NC State…read more It's located in the Mission Valley Shopping center on the bottom level. There's plenty of parking in the adjacent parking lot. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They have breakfast & lunch menu's. They don't have a ton of options, but just enough. They have a huge drink menu, coffee, cold brews, their famous coffee smoothies, juice smoothies, and all types of teas from matcha to milk tea. There's so many options. The team behind the counter were very nice & helpful it being my first time. It's not fancy, but cute and cozy. There's lots of seating, plenty of outlets for laptops, it's a great place to work. The outdoor patio is covered with plenty of tables. I ordered the iced coconut latte and one of the baked goods from a local bakery on display at the counter. The latte was delicious & the Crumbcake was fresh and okay.

There is ample seating and restrooms in the room adjacent to the ordering counter. The line moves quickly and they offer numerous beverage options and coffee beans. My rating is reduced to a 3 due to how condescending the manager (?) spoke to a (presumably) new employee. There are appropriate ways to train and treat new employees without belittling them.

I come here pretty much 5 days a week. Dirty Matcha (3 espresso), almond milk, iced…read more Today I sent my crew member to order exactly this and they gave her a regular matcha with 3 espresso on the side. I went back to ask for it to be remade, since this is not what I wanted and I haven't touched any of the product, which usually would be no problem, especially since the young man at the counter was very new. The first answer I got was "we don't do that here", which is not true, then the somewhat curtly brown haired white girl said "well I can just pour it in there for you! It will be the same thing!" Laughing and rolling her eyes. Which I prompted that I really would rather have it remade, since it will affect the flavor and it was not what I had ordered. She continued to try to go back and forth with me about remaking my drink trying to make it seem like it's a problem and telling me "the way you came in was a lot" even though I asked multiple times, very nicely and tried to make clear, that my problem right now is about the attitude my complaint was handled with because I understand that mistakes can happen. I also understand that it shouldn't be a problem to make it right at the end without making fun and rolling eyes. My remade drink was still wrong and it was obvious that it was purposely this time, since I told her my order again, she repeated it and still proceeded to use a LG cup instead of a regular, but continued using regular cup measurements+ 1 espresso shot (which is also not what would come in there regularly). Even after I mentioned, again, that it was supposed to be 3 espresso shots( she charged me for another 2 shots,which is fine, I'm not here to get anything for free, I really just wanted my one drink made right) she handed me a regular matcha, 3 espresso in a large cup, filled up with milk to the top. Again, this is not what I ordered. But I had to go to my own job so I had no time to go through this again. Side note: a large drink would usually come with 4 shots. I don't even work at this place and am aware of this. However, some of these "baristas" need some serious training when it comes to customer service. Sad, because I actually really like this place and the girl and guy that usually are there in the morning are awesome.

The menu is unique, with drinks you don't see at most coffee shops. The space is comfortable with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I had a cherry latte that was absolutely delicious, and my husband had a cortado made with today's blend--it was complex, earthy, and excellent. We didn't try the food, but everything coming out looked great. A couple of small downsides: parking can be a bit tricky, although we found free street parking just down the block. There were also quite a few flies inside during our visit, so I hope that's something they can address. Overall, a great experience, and we'll definitely be back!

The coffee shop is located in the Glenwood south area and feels very modern when you walk in. To order you'll walk to the counter and place your order. I selected from their seasonal drinks and opted for the iced summer crumble latte. I ordered the summer crumble latte (espresso, milk of choice, blueberry, house made oat crumble distillation, subtle lemon coconut infusion, oat tincture, lemon rind garnish) which was excellent and tasted like a bowl of cereal milk. I noticed several people ordering matcha which also may be excellent and something I'll have to try next time. If you are in the Glenwood South area and are looking for a good coffee shop, definitely check out Iris Coffee Lab.

I ended up choosing this place for one very important reason--it was open! I had just dropped my…read morehusband off at the airport at old dark thirty and needed something to get me through the drive back to Fayetteville. I decided to switch things up and ordered a Madagascar Vanilla Caramel coffee. Now, I'll be honest--it was very sweet. But to be fair, I usually drink my coffee black with no sugar, so this was definitely outside my norm. That said, it did exactly what I needed it to do--gave me a solid boost of energy for the long drive home. If you're someone who enjoys sweeter coffee drinks or need a quick sugar rush, this one will absolutely hit the spot. I'd even order it again... just when I'm in the mood for something indulgent. Also worth noting--it's located inside a food court/gas station, so it's more about convenience than ambiance. But for an early morning caffeine fix, it gets the job done!

I've seen their coffee flights online and they always look delicious- spoiler, they are! I tried the mint chocolate chip, banana pudding, frosted animal cookie, and coconut lattes. The only one I thought was just okay was the coconut, the flavor was fine but something about the shaved coconut toppings and syrup didn't do it for me. The other three, however, were delicious! The frosted animal cookie was my favorite by far. I'd love to come back to try the other two flavors! I also tried the Sonder Smash- it was so tasty!! It's an English muffin with pesto, cream cheese, sausage, and an egg (I took off the tomato). It was super filling and delicious. I highly recommend! Overall- great spot with fun drinks and food. I recommend!

(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!

It has a very smooth flavor with an aroma very distinct and true to the description. It would be pleasing to a wide variety of coffee drinkers. Purchasing from Vortex Roasters is a great way to support local businesses. The micro-roastery is located right in Pittsboro, NC. The owners, Mark and Dawn clearly show their love for coffee, NC, and travel. They have their blends listed on the website along with a sampler box. Order whole beans or ground to various degrees. We are looking forward to trying some of their other blends!
