Let's go ahead and square this equation, given the ambiance is solid for studying/reading (would have stayed in if they weren't about to close).

What a cute little coffee shop in downtown Goldsboro. I was meeting a friend and got there a little…read morebefore her. I needed an afternoon pick me up and saw this place just across from my parking spot. Kismet! No frills, cute little spot with a gorgeous mural on the inside. I got an iced coconut latte - the barista let me know they were out of ice (it was 3pm and they close at 4pm so fair enough). He was still able to make it chilled and I got more coffee in my drink so honestly I call that a win. The coconut flavoring in the latte was perfection - if you're a coconut lover, this is a drink for you. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

Great coffee and what a lovely atmosphere too. The service is very friendly, feels like you're with…read morefamily.

The Gladstone is located in the back of eclectic home/garden/gift/gallery shop Uniquely R's. It's…read morecool, quiet and dark with otherworldly ambience. They have a great selection of teas and french press. They do not do espresso. There is a small but sophisticated menu that offers quiches, scones, cheesecake and a few savory pastries, all made by a European trained chef who bakes exclusively for The Gladstone. The presentation is awesome. Hours are Tues-Thurs 10am-6pm, and Fri-Sat 10am-10pm. And they are actually open for these hours, they do not close randomly like some other local Goldsboro businesses. This is a really neat place tucked away in Goldsboro, definitely worth checking out.

Service was genuinely just OK, the girls there don't really acknowledge you at all so I felt like…read morean idiot just standing at the front waiting to order seeing if anyone would at least greet me. The coffee wasn't good, I got an iced dark chocolate latte and the coffee just genuinely isn't flavorful or appealing. I got one of each of their HIGHLY over priced macarons (3$ a pop, they were very small) and they had no flavor to them. It was like eating straight up sugar with like a whisper of flavoring if that. Wholly unappealing. The Lorraine quiche was really good tho! I got the blueberry Bundt cake and the blueberry cheesecake to go for my husband and he the cake was REALLY dry and the cheese cake crust was not good. "The best part of these desserts is the little candied blueberries at the top" the ambiance was quite bleak and really unfriendly feeling. Like the lighting was terrible, the whole sitting area is poorly lit and feels like a prison cell. Just really not a comforting cafe/bakery to walk into and the eats were not good either. I won't be going back or recommending to anyone. *not a set up review, if you look at all my past reviews I say what I feel both good and bad. Just bc Debie is mad at her second bad review in quite a while doesn't mean it's a set up LOL

Donut flavors and pastry selection are a plenty and mostly delicious! But I have to say, every time I go in, it's a different worker both up front and making coffees.

The breakfast items includes food like croissants bacon egg and cheese sandwiches (or other bread options), breakfast bowls, fruit cups, and yogurt. There are more food items too. Warning! There is only one 4-hole outlet so bring a portable charger or be charged up if you'd like to sit and do a bit of work on your laptop in case that table area is taken. The shop has a very cool mission. A percentage of sales proceeds go to help victims of human trafficking.
