It's located alongside the leasing office for the apartment complex. The service is great. There were two young ladies working and they were both friendly. I arrived around 4:30 on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and ordered a muffin and a decaf latte since it was so late (for me to drink caffeine). The cranberry lemon muffin was absolutely perfect, so much flavor, so fresh & moist. The Salted Brown Butter Latte was the best. From the first sip to the last drop, I loved it. I sat on a small section of a very comfortable couch with pillows and all. I later sat out front on one of the benches. They also have a patio seating out back. I can't wait to go back to Thousand Hills!!

Another week, another morning drive to RDU to drop off my better half. We share a car, and with her…read morejob having her out of town about half the time, I've gotten pretty good at finding little adventures on the drive home. This particular morning, I knew I wanted to stop by Trader Joe's afterward, but they weren't open yet. So I pulled up the map looking for a coffee shop where I could get a little coworking done. Thousand Hills Coffee popped up, and it had been on my "need to try" list for a while. I also shot my buddy KH a quick text to see if he wanted to join me and catch up on our latest ultra running training shenanigans. Thankfully, he was game. I rolled in around 8:30 a.m. and managed to grab a decent parking spot. Worth mentioning because the coffee shop shares parking with the apartment complex next door, so I imagine spaces can disappear quickly. KW arrived a few minutes before me and had to park a bit farther away. Walking inside, I immediately liked the vibe. It feels modern but still cozy, almost like someone's really well-designed living room. There are several distinct seating areas, plenty of soft chairs, a long community table, and even bar seating overlooking the baristas. It struck a nice balance between coffee shop and comfortable workspace. Since I'd already knocked out my morning run, I was ready for a little breakfast. KH and I both ordered the cheese, Danish. It looked huge in the display case, though it shrank a bit once it made it onto the plate. That said, it was really flavorful and definitely worth ordering. I also grabbed a regular drip coffee, which was excellent. My timing was amusing because they had just finished the last pot and were brewing a fresh one, but honestly, getting a fresh cup probably worked out for the best. We grabbed chairs next to the long community table instead at the table since the morning sun was already heating things up. We spent a while catching up, talking running, races, and all the usual endurance athlete nonsense. After KH headed out, I relocated to the long table that was in the shade and spent another hour or so catching up on emails and getting a little work done. It turned out to be a great co-working spot with plenty of room to spread out without feeling like you were taking up space. One last shoutout to the staff, who were genuinely friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. Good coffee is one thing, but great people always make the experience better. Overall, I came away impressed. Somehow, they've been open for about two years, and I'm honestly not sure how they managed to stay off my radar for so long. Safe to say they'll be making it into my regular rotation whenever I need a good cup of coffee and a comfortable place to get some work done.

My first thought was that it was SO orangey, the first bite was like eating an actual orange itself. It was very citrusy and didn't taste too sweet which was unfortunate because it looks very sweet.

I'm open to coming again and trying something else but the orange cream piece didn't do it for me.

I sat at a table for a few minutes to browse them. I decided on a hot Hazelnut Brown Sugar Latte and a slice of Banana Bread. Both sooo good!! My first sip of my latte and I was so happy. It's super cute inside of Milo's Cafe. Plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio. Even the ladies room is super cute. I'll definitely be back.

Freshly fried and incredibly crispy, each bite had that perfect crunch while still staying juicy on the inside. I originally ordered it with the Original powder, which added a savory, well-balanced seasoning that paired beautifully with the chicken. While I was enjoying that, one of the staff members suggested I try the Classic Pepper and Plum powder as well. I'm glad they did. The Classic Pepper brought a bold, aromatic kick, while the Plum powder added a subtle sweet-and-tangy twist that made the flavor profile even more addictive. Both seasonings were excellent in their own way, and it's honestly hard to pick a favorite. Definitely coming back to explore more of the menu.

The yogurt was a large portion and was very good. Coffee was a little strong and bitter, probably designed to have additives rather than being drank black. Pairing with the yogurt made it taste a lot better though. Service was friendly and the prices were reasonable. It was a bit noisy inside, just because there were a lot of customers and everyone was talking. The store is clean and bright with a neat little riser on one side. My only complaint was that there were no refills. That's unusual for black, drip coffee.

So many different options, and everything seemed pretty healthy. We opted to order something fresh and hot for this visit, though - I got the buffalo chicken wrap with steamed broccoli on the side, while my wife got the chicken pesto wrap. It took a while to prepare the food, so I'm not sure it'd be a great idea to come when it's busy, but I guess that means it's truly cooked fresh, right? Anyway, we brought it home and dug in. Honestly, my buffalo chicken wrap was pretty mediocre. Not the worst one I've ever had but I think I could buy something pretty similar in any grocery store. The steamed broccoli on the side was pretty gross - it was burnt and had no seasoning. My wife also thought her food was meh. I was honestly excited by this place, but I'm not sure it's tasty enough to revisit frequently. Overall, it was a little disappointing.
