In…read moreaddition to more expansive seasonal menus (typically with latte, mocha, cold brew, and chai options), they have a solid lot of house specialties (the staples). Of them, I've enjoyed the Cinnamon Toast latte while my wife is a fan of the Berry Haze. I've been trying to do sugar-free syrups when I can as of late, and thankfully, Joy Bar has a larger-than-average assortment of them on hand. While the coffee is still the biggest strength, Joy Bar does offer more. Whether you need a baked good, a bag of beans, a chocolate bar (courtesy of local artisans Eigen), or a gift, Joy Bar has you covered. The baristas are always friendly, and while there isn't always a table to spare (inside at least - patio seating is usually open in nicer weather), the atmosphere remains comfortable. High Point is practically hemorrhaging coffee shops at this point, but even amid the heightened competition, Joy Bar is a reliably good option.

Normally I don't go back and update my positive reviews, but because I've eaten at the Chat and…read moreChew a disproportionate number of times compared to everything else I've reviewed lately, I felt a 1 year (well, 8 months) revisit might be warranted. As before, I give this a resounding 5 stars. The menu has changed a little bit since I last wrote a review, and I've tried some new items. I have yet to try anything that I didn't like. My new go-tos are the raging chicken salad on a croissant and the berries and cream pastries. If you read my previous review, you will see that I was working up the nerve to try the chicken salad, because I'm somewhat meat-averse at times, and also don't like heavily mayonnaised foods, which is a big risk with any of the so-called "salad" items (potato, chicken, tuna, etc.) in life. I can now confirm that the chicken salad is 1) not overly mayonnaised and 2) made from not-gross chicken (I have no further explanation for this, but picky eaters will know what I mean). It's relatively light, has a nice texture, and is flavorful. It is one of my favorite weekend lunch items (or weekday, if I'm working remotely and in the area) now, not just here but in general. The berries and cream pastry is delicious and I would eat everyday, or even multiple times a day, if my figure and my wallet could afford it. Sweet, rich, flaky. Definitely one of my favorite dessert / sweet snack items currently. I also got a birthday cake made here and it was absolutely gorgeous (and delicious, obviously). Very well executed and totally got my vision. As I said before, there is plenty of seating inside (outside too!) and the volume level is perfect -- lots of people coming through, but quiet enough I can read, study, or do work. We spend several hours at a time in here some weekends. Highly recommend to anyone in the area or passing through.

The Chat and Chew Café is a welcoming, locally owned coffee shop and bakery. Drink options include…read moreiced, hot, and blended beverages, including chai, drip coffee, espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, and frappes. As well as mix-and-match coffee flights for $10. Pair your drink with a snack; choose from a wide variety of baked goods, including bagels, crumb cakes, cheesecakes, Danishes, croissants, and cakes. Or if you are hungrier, consider one of their salad or sandwich options. I ordered an iced Irish Moo latte with oat milk from their featured menu and was not disappointed. If you are unsure what to order, ask the barista for a recommendation; you will not be disappointed. While you wait for your order, I highly recommend browsing the gift shop. Browse from a wide range of locally made goods. Whether you are looking for a new travel mug, candles, body butter/scrubs, handmade washcloths, or local honey, you will find something unique. Be sure to check out the paintings available for purchase at the shop. All hand-painted by the owner.

I've since moved to Greensboro, so it's been a while, but as soon as I walked through the door and caught a whiff of coffee and their delicious baked goods, I was reminded why this was my favorite coffee shop in HP. Debeen Espresso is a charming, female-owned local gem that combines the art of great coffee with delicious, in-house gluten free and vegan baked goods. From the moment you step inside, the inviting atmosphere and warm smiles from the baristas set the tone for a great experience. I had the pleasure of trying their banana walnut muffin, and let me just say--it was the moistest muffin I've ever tasted. The balance of banana, walnut, and spice was perfect, and it paired wonderfully with my almond milk latte. There's an array of gluten free and vegan muffin and cookie options as well as additional treats (overnight oats, carrots and hummus, etc) in the fridge. It's clear that Debeen Espresso takes pride in not just the quality of their coffee, but in everything they do. The service was fast and friendly and the shop itself is cozy, with plenty of comfortable seating both inside and out. We opted to sit on the outdoor patio, where additional seating provides a chance to enjoy the fresh air while sipping your favorite drink. Adjacent to Debeen is Pure Light Yoga, creating the perfect opportunity to sip, savor, and even savasana--all in one visit. Whether you're there for a quiet moment away or catching up with a friend, Debeen Espresso offers a unique and relaxing space where you can really enjoy your experience. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this cozy spot with its delicious drinks, healthy treats and welcoming vibe.

When I parked, I saw a sign for a new cheesecake stuffed waffle with bacon and maple syrup that looked delicious. At that point, I was torn between which one I wanted. I ordered at 10:30pm. I got the sausage, egg, and cheese waffle sandwich combo with fries and strawberry tea. With the $1 discount, it was $7.78 after tax. Per receipt, the cashier was Carol. He was friendly and polite. There was signature requesting patience as staff navigate a new ordering system. While waiting, I noticed a bunch of tea spilled on the counter. I'm not sure how long it had been there prior to be noticing or even how long it stayed there. All I'm saying, is you couldn't miss it. I also decided to eat in versus getting it to go. I received my food at 10:33am. Of course, I began munching on my fries first. I definitely had mixed consistency. I feel like majority were a somewhat overcooked, especially for wedges while a few here and there were fine. With my sandwich, I was a bit nervous as it has spicy syrup and I'm not a huge fan of spicy. However, I didn't have much of the syrup on my sandwich. I'm neutral about this lol. I enjoyed the sandwich those! As expected, the strawberry sweet tea was delicious. I love how they put actually strawberries in it. The only downside to that is it blocks the straw. Maybe they should consider wider straws to combat that. Before I left, I did stop the restroom. There was a peculiar aroma but it could have been from a previous occupant. The paper towel dispenser was opened. I'm not sure if it's broke or someone was being lazy.

Upon entering, I was not greeted with a warm good morning as I saw others were. They may have been regulars but as a business, they should show all customers the same hospitality. I was also not approached the same as the four other people before me who were told to enjoy their day. My orders were called and placed on the counter with the employee quickly scurrying off. It may also help if the employees focused on one order at a time as I purchased 4 items and had to visit the counter three different times playing hopscotch with other customers. On top of that, the weird vibe I received from the other customers did not make me feel anymore welcome.

I'm not sure if they do consignment style shops within the gift shop, or if it's all under the same business, but it's arranged in a bunch of mini sections that all kind of have a different aesthetic. It was a bit maze-like, but I have no doubt they sell something in here for everyone. Like the gift shop, the bakery had huge variety. Who knew there were so many types of cake? I ended up getting a carrot cake latte and a heart shaped macaron. It was only after I had ordered my latte with oat milk, checked out (including paying the up-charge for oat milk), and waited several minutes that they told me they were out of oat milk. This was disappointing, as I paid my extra for the oat milk, yes, but also because I don't really want a latte in general without it. Regardless, it was too late, so I just told them to do it with 2%. The latte was okay but I didn't love it. It mostly tasted sweet and like cinnamon. Which I guess is more or less what carrot cake tastes like? The menu said it came with a cream cheese cold foam or whipped cream (I don't remember which) but it came out with plain whipped cream. The espresso was a little bitter - maybe burnt or shocked. The macaron was gorgeous, but didn't have a macaron taste or texture. It was hard like cookie. A macaron should be light and airy, and the shell should almost collapse under a bite. I had to chomp through this one. I am not sure if it was stale, a bad batch, or if their "macarons" are just "macaron shaped cookies" by design.

We were there doing some behind-the-scenes content, and the space was welcoming, calm, and perfect for both conversation and getting things done. Drink-wise, everything was on point. The Honey Ginger Chai was smooth and comforting, especially with almond milk and a nice froth. The blueberry muffin (warmed) was simple but really good--sometimes that's all you need. My cappuccino, the José Conseco, truly lived up to its name: bold, smooth, and flavorful without needing any added sugar. That alone says a lot about the quality of their coffee. What stood out most is that Chi Rho really proves you don't need a lot of sugar or extra additives to make a great cup of coffee. The flavors speak for themselves. Whether you're stopping in for a family coffee run, a casual meeting, or just want a quality cup in a relaxed environment, this is definitely a spot worth visiting. We'll absolutely be back.
