The seats were comfy and the cashier was polite and helpful. I was impressed by how large the space was as well. I ordered a green tea and it was brewed quickly. They didn't ask me how I wanted it (hot or cold) and gave it to me cold, which was a little surprising because I actually wanted it hot :) But the weather was scorching outside so I kind of get it. My wife liked her decaf latte as well. Overall, I'd definitely come back here to hang out, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and maybe try out the food!

Updating my review since I have been to Asali numerous times now. Each visit is magical and the…read moredesserts are absolutely gorgeous (and tasty). Plus their drinks are incredible and the employees are efficient and friendly. Usually at a cafe I prefer either the drinks or the food. Here I can't decide which I like more and they have so many options to pick from. From divine baklava to decadent chocolate tarts and towering cakes paired with flowering teas and matcha lattes. Most recently I had my favorite chocolate tart with a pistachio saffron matcha latte. The latte was definitely the star and the saffron came through even when competing with the other strong flavors. Overall, highly recommend Asali and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Located in a nice spot, lots of parking. When you walk in you see a gorgeous array of desserts…read more Friendly service albeit slow. Lots of seating, open and bright. Prices were quite high in my opinion and the mousse tarts whole gorgeous, were difficult to eat the tart part. Very hard to cut into. As for the coffee, I was underwhelmed. It was only lukewarm. And, while latte art isn't super important, it was not impressive. The flavor was ok, but with it not being hot it wasn't excellent. I'd give the coffee another try and maybe a different dessert. When I go back I will give an update, but for now, I have to give 3 stars.

Two weeks ago, the sidewalk was closed . Ordered the sizzler and it was delicious. I like that the croissant is not over toasted although next time I will ask for a lighter browned one. I was greeted promptly and my order was taken rapidly. She was courteous and efficient. I did try the green monster smoothie but it was too much banana. I appreciate them having a water jug so you can get a cup of water on your own. The California stack was big and good. Flavors blend really well. Definitely coming back and probably adding it to morning place rotation as a solid option.

They have simply not maintained the initial apparent quality people were excited for. While the…read morevoice of decor is great, it has not been maintained. Chairs are worn down, cushions are incredible stained, tables are heavily scraped and walls are super scuffed, paint is even flaking. At first it seems nice from a slight distance but as soon as you start paying attention to details the charm disappears. On top of this their prices are absurd. I know inflation and all, and while I won't start on their "fancy" drink prices (which in my opinion are still high), even their simple drinks like a single espresso shot or black coffee are just ridiculously high priced. The staff is friendly, but service is also quite slow for coffee and teas. While I won't not go, I would not go out of my way for this place. The only reason I still go is because it is still a kind of nice place to hang out and relax, maybe do some work or just hang out with friends as the location is very convenient. The drinks are hit or miss trip by trip. It's just very...meh..for me now.

The espresso worked just fine. But if you want anything jazzier than a cold brew after 4pm, think again. They tend to pull back on the coffee after that.

With the weather sitting in that perfect sweet spot before the North Carolina summer heat takes…read moreover, I grabbed a seat outside and settled in with an Iced Vanilla Latte and one of Crema's famous Cragels filled with cream cheese. The latte was smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, just enough vanilla to complement the coffee. The Cragel was every bit as delicious as its reputation suggests: warm, chewy, flaky, and generously filled with cream cheese. A perfect coffee, a scrumptious Cragel, and ideal patio weather--what more could you ask for? This is exactly the kind of local gem that keeps me coming back.

I'm not sure if I would come back here. I'm sure if I came on a non busy day and not peak time it…read morewould have been a better experience. It was very crowded there's not a lot of seating inside, they do have outside sitting. I did like how the inside looked and they had their pastries out front. I couldn't tell what to order and spent a few minutes trying to figure the menu out without getting overstimulated by the time I could even think about asking questions they had a really big line. I ended up ordering a medium cappuccino which I know see from other reviews that my disappointment was not just me. we did get a waffle croissant thing which was not bad. It tasted stale. So it was a bit tougher and chewier or I'm not sure if that's how it was supposed to be ? I'm sure if it was fresh it would have been better. My daughter ended up getting a fruit smoothie and a hello kitty looking Madeline that was banana flavored she really liked that. There are no prices on the things that aren't at their coffee station area. I did ask the guy up front that it was my first time here and I wasn't sure what to get, he just stared at me. Didn't say anything. And then corrected me when I asked for the waffle thing. Soo.. there's that. So I guess come here if you know what you want. Or come during non less busy hours. We only came by because it was across the street from our therapy appointment. But left more disappointed.. and I spent $22 with tip. Not even sure what I paid for or the prices it all happened so fast. So go here don't go here. We will probably try another place.
