Henry&#x27;s Uptown Cafe

A coffee shop in a child's play place? Yup. And amazingly good espresso and coffee! Want an…read moreespresso? Go here. Period. We were visiting this area, and lamenting the lack of a coffee shop to fuel us for the drive back to Raleigh, when someone pointed use here. I honestly felt like it was going to be more adventure than enjoyment, and after figuring out which door to go in, my mind wasn't changed. It was pretty empty, but great seating and fun country-home decor. The gal running the place was passionate about her coffee. My companion got a drink off the menu, and I watched her grind and fuss over it to get it just right. When it came to my turn, I asked her to make me her favorite. I was not disappointed! The perfect shot of hazelnut flavor, and a smooth carmely bean and I was wishing I could be a better expert so that I could do this review justice!

There are no posted hours on the door and the sign says "closed". I can only guess that the business has closed permanently. If not, I would still not recommend them due to the erratic and uncertain operating hours. There's nothing worse than stopping at a place which should be open and find out it's closed.

I always like to find small coffee shops while traveling. We found Nana's on the way to the beach…read more My coffee was delicious. So many choices of flavored syrups!!! Nana made me the best butterscotch ice coffee. Lots of seating inside!!

Heading toward adventure, Mrs. K. interrupted the tunes on the radio to declare (half playful, half…read moreserious) that she wanted a coffee soonish. A quick check of the map showed Nana's Coffee was right on our route, so it became an easy and welcome stop. The storefront is small and unassuming, tucked into a quiet stretch of road, but inside it opens up into a cozy space that doubles as both ice cream parlor and coffee shop. There are plenty of tables, and I got the impression they'd be perfectly fine with someone settling in for a while with a laptop if you're looking for a remote cowork spot with a bit of charm. We ordered a latte, and it was excellent. Generous foam piled high, with very hot coffee underneath that held its heat all the way through. The drink was well-balanced, not too bitter, and served with a quiet warmth that matched the atmosphere. Nana's Coffee may not be flashy, but it's clearly a place that values hospitality. Whether you're pausing mid-journey or looking for a low-key place to work, it's well worth the stop. The blend of ice cream, espresso, and relaxed seating makes it feel like a little pocket of comfort tucked into the day. [Review 1319 of 2025 - 4448 in North Carolina - 24871 overall]

We were on the road and stopped in for lunch to break up the trip home. We love supporting locals (rather than chain restaurants). Found this place on the map and gave it a shot. Atmosphere is casual, in a small town, public parking is conveniently directly across the street. I had the patty melt with fries, my hub had a burger with sweet potato fries. We both drank 1/2 and 1/2 sweet tea's. The food was delicious and freshly made to order. I wish I made note of the waitresses name but she and the 2nd server helping her were both super nice, attentive to the tables. Just an all around diner feel and a great meal. read more

I read the great reviews of this place online , so I had to come see for myself. It's a small brick building on the side of Andrew Jackson Hwy in Laurel Hill. Small parking lot with plenty of business. They have a small indoor dining area that is a bar top facing the windows. A couple of picnic tables outside , which is where I ate mine. I got the Double Cheeseburger with Crinkle Cut Fries and a can of Pepsi. The burger patties were nice and thick and juicy. Hot and fresh tasting with lettuce and tomato. If you want a Traditional North Carolina Slaw Burger they can do that too. The Crinkle Cut Fries were hot , fresh , and tasty. I prefer Crinkle Cut or Steak Cut Fries , so this was a plus. The employees were also nice. They have so much other food to choose from. Bbq Pork Sandwiches , Burgers , Hot Dogs , Sausage Dogs , Corn Dogs , Fried Bologna Sandwich , Pimento Cheese Sandwich , Chicken Wings , Hamburger Steak Plate , Chicken Salad , Chicken Sandwich , Fried Okra , Fries , Onion Rings , Baked Beans , Green Beans , Slaw , and Mashed Potatoes , and more.
