    Biscuit with apple butter
    Sarah K.

    Wonderful team behind the bar. I always enjoy their warm biscuit and the apple butter. It's made from scratch. This place is always bustling with college students, faculty, staff and locals. It's inviting while allowing private work on a shared large table.

    Brown sugar coconut & smoked sea salt caramel latte
    Elea T.

    This is one of the smoothest lattes. I got the smoked sea salt caramel. The vibes were so laid back and chill. The staff were super nice

    i am not a big coffee person but enjoy coffee shops for the vibe. the chai is quite sweet for my taste. the food is pretty mediocre. the two times i have been here, it is crazy packed so expect to have trouble finding a table. i enjoyed the environment. i sat outside to see the campus across the street.

    Oatmilk latte and bacon egg & cheese drop biscuit with avocado
    Dena F.

    Such a cute spot with delicious coffee and drop biscuits. I ordered a decalf oatmilk latte and drop biscuit with bacon, egg, cheese & avocado. The biscuit has the perfect texture and great flavor. My preference is a bit more of a savory biscuit for an egg sando but it was still very tasty. Staff is also super nice.

    Vanilla Latte
    Hannah L.

    What a cute, quaint, unassuming spot! This spot is probably no secret to the students in the area, but as a newcomer to the Raleigh area - it was a treat to find this little spot! The coffee, cozy vibe, food options, and outside seating was delightful! On a weekend morning, it was fairly busy but there was high turnover for outdoor seating!

    Latte

    Just had a great light breakfast- wonderful ambiance - quick service and friendly- my latte had beautiful presentation! - Their blueberry compote with biscuit was quite possibly the best biscuit I had! So delicious!

    Almond latte
    Debbie J.

    Our son is at NC State as a Freshman and we are locals that pass this location several times a week. We have been wanting to try it and we finally made it a priority. We arrived after 4pm and didn't realize they closed at 5pm, so maybe that's why we really weren't greeted warmly. We both got the almond latte and it was delicious, not overly sweet and the temperature was perfect. We got a spot to sit outside and enjoyed a nice breeze while we drank our coffee. We had a perfect view of the State Bell tower and enjoyed watching the graduates taking their photos in their cap and gowns. We will definitely be back to try other menu items and enjoy the outside.

    London Fog and Blueberry Pearl Waffle
    Jillian S.

    What a nice surprise to find a Jubala coffee near NCSU! I've been to the one in Lafayette village and did not realize they have three Raleigh locations (North Raleigh, North Hills, and Hillsborough street by NCSU). The coffee and tea is just as good and pretty as the Lafayette village location. Maybe I went at a less busy time, but it was quick and easy to order and find a seat. Due to the heat I decided to dine inside. I placed an order at the counter and chose a seat at the table beside the kitchen. The blueberry pearl waffle and London fog latte arrived shortly. Now I'm sure they are more impressive since I don't know how they are made, but I don't care, I'll continue to be impressed and choose pearl sugar waffles whenever they are offered. This one in particular was larger than others I have seen and filled with delicious blueberries! The London fog accompanied the waffle well. The temperature was perfect, the design clear and aesthetic, and the flavor was present and faint (not overpowering). Overall, lovely place for breakfast, brunch, and coffee/tea! Parking: nearby lot and street parking available (free and paid options) Employees: welcoming, friendly, and helpful Atmosphere: typical university coffee shop vibe. Reasonable noise level. Noise mainly from conversations and customers making phone calls. Bathrooms: located down the hall out the side door towards the Aloft foyer. Bathrooms are clean and well stocked.

    Turkey Avocado sandwich with a side salad
    Jessica C.

    Delicious! I stopped by for lunch on Juneteenth and there was free parking in the street since it was a holiday. It's also nice in the summer when school is out and it's a little bit slower. I got the turkey avocado sandwich and it did not disappoint. The sandwich was grilled so the cheese and turkey was hot and melted. The avocado was fresh and it was nice to add the arugula on top of the sandwich. I'd definitely visit again.

    Ham biscuit
    Elisa A.

    This is by far the best biscuit I have had in my entire life. So soft and delicious! Overall 10/10!

    Housemade Granola & Greek Yogurt
    Siena D.

    I went here for a quick bite to eat with my friend. Since this is right off of campus, you can tell it's a spot for students. I got the yogurt parfait. The granola was really good. My friend had the tomato jam sandwich and enjoyed it as well.

    Unfortunately my latte and my husbands hot tea were both luke warm. They weren't so nice either. Cost too much for this type of experience.

That brings me to the next point. If you go on the busy days be ready to wait long sitting times, is not because of the place itself but because people will overextend their stay and because the local is small it could fill up very quickly. On my visit here I waited over 50 minutes to be sit. Rather than a critic is more of a heads up so that it doesn't take you by surprise. To touch on the food a little bit, I specifically got the breakfast burrito and it was incredible enjoyable. Got some fries as a side and some mushrooms and everything was tasty and fresh. If you aren't sure what to order you won't go wrong ordering that. I would suggest that it be nice to see a traditional american breakfast on the menu. 9/10 would definitely come back!

Drinks: I ordered a matcha latte, iced with oat milk. I knew it was a mistake as I watched them make it and the match came out of a squeeze bottle. My mom ordered hot black coffee, claiming it tasted burnt and was undrinkable. Mains: I ordered the strawberries & cream pancakes which came with three extremely tiny pancakes, that tasted like whole wheat. The "fresh jam" was overly sugared and had a smoothie like consistency. For $16 I was hungry and disappointed. My mom ordered the grain and egg bowl, wait it was underwhelming. Shocked there are so many positive reviews.

    Despite living in Raleigh for over a decade, I just visited Boulted Bread for the first time last…read moreweek. If you live in Raleigh, you've heard people rave about Boulted Bread - from their titular bread to their morning bun to their croissants, they have everything a carb connoisseur could desire. I visited with a friend on a Tuesday morning (they currently are not open on Mondays) and it was busy. I ordered their seasonal fig leaf latte, the morning bun, chocolate croissant, and a tartine that was kind of like a pizza on a piece of bread. The latte was delicious - it has brown sugar in it, which was perfect as the iced version. The morning bun was delightful - probably my second favorite morning bun/cinnamon roll in Raleigh. The chocolate croissant was filled with chocolate ganache - which I was not expecting - it was messy but also very good. Lastly, the tarine, which like I mentioned, was kind of like a pizza on a piece of toast - it had cheese tomato sauce - simple and savory and tasty. Overall, I felt Boulted Bread lives up to the hype. A Raleigh classic that is a perfect stop for a morning treat.

My tip is to walk over to the Platform apartments and sit in the common areas under there. The biale was a little hard, maybe because it was early afternoon. But morning bun was good. They had sold out a fair amount of the pastries by 2, but still had lots of morning buns. The light in the building is very nice. Good place to get a treat!
