    Great food and coffee, polite and professional staff. Highly recommended this coffee shop

    Really clean and welcoming place with a great atmosphere. The coffee is honestly some of the best in the area, and the food is absolutely delicious. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel right at home. They also have a great selection of board games if you want to relax and have some fun while you're there. Highly recommend!

    I was in Raleigh for a pair of hockey games, and came across this place in my search for a local coffee shop. Relatively simple setup, but they do have a pile of board games if you want to stick around. The main reason I picked this place was their seasonal selection of a gingerbread latte. A lot of places will get the sweetness level wrong, but this one was perfect. Quick and friendly service, as well.

    My first time at this location! The maple latte was pretty good, service was fast and courteous. My only complaint is the gnats flying around, I was surprised to see them. Had a pleasant time studying with friends here though!

    LOVE this place. By far the best breakfast and coffee place we have tried in Cary NC! It's easy to see what's unique about this place - board games on shelves as wide and tall as the entire right hand back area wall. Across from the board games are various local area crafted merchandise such as stone pendant necklaces, painted mint tins, crocheted items, stickers and buttons, etc etc. Service was wonderful, we were immediately greeted upon entering. We had "pagers" that go off when your beverage is ready to be picked up at the counter. There's a self-service counter where you pick up your stainless steel (not plastic!) utensils, napkins, cold water, etc. We ordered Nutella latte and honey lavender latte. Both were delicious, hit the spot in terms of coffee and specialty. My BF ordered the roast beef in a waffle sandwich, absolutely unique and tasty. I had the best tasting avocado toast topped with sliced boiled egg. All ingredients look and taste so fresh! Will definitely go back to try all other menu items!

    I probably wouldn't have come here but we had a special offer from a local dining club. Arrived mid-day on a Saturday and had two coffee drinks and two muffins. They seemed to have a few other breakfast food items. Their main draw is board games which you can rent, or some of which you can play for free. Seems like a nice, relaxed place for people who are into board games. They are a little out of our way so we probably won't be back, but we wish them well. PS, they also had a little popup craft fair going on outside so I guess they host some events as well.

    Pro-sciu -tto

    We had a blast trying this place out. Grab a game and eat some delish food. Our faves were the cali-cassone and the pro-sciu-tto!! Also I had the get the chai latte which was delish too!

    This is by far a huge vibe. We stopped by for a drink and I loved it. Lots of board games, it's very clean, and it's so aesthetic inside. The cashier was so kind he helped us pick our drinks. I'm glad they offered skim milk. The bathroom had things that you made need like female products, hair products, and much more! I wish I lived close to here!!

    Daniel has amazing customer relation skills and cooks a mean waffle. I was concerned about accessibility due to my severe hearing loss, but Daniel was able to think on the fly and accommodate me quickly despite wearing a mask (which can hinder lip reading). He deserves a pay raise; it's not often you'll meet a service worker who treats customers so well. Very clean facility too!!

    Love the vibe, but the coffee is an acquired taste. My gf asked for a vanilla Chai Latte with soy milk... and didn't get anything close to that. I'm not sure if she didn't know how to make it, but it was disappointing. I like that they have games to play and items to buy, but they truly need to learn the basics of a latte.

    What a great little find! On a freezing day outside of Raleigh, I stumbled upon this cozy little…read morecoffee shop! Trying to get a little work done, I was pleased to find a comfy couch, power and Wi-Fi- in addition to the incredible twist on a Mexican mocha and an absolutely insane bacon, egg, and cheese on there in house made biscuit! Greeted by the friendliest barista, I made myself comfy on the couch and watched her work her magic. My " not too sweet" mocha had beautiful latte art. I was actually a little sad as I reached the bottom of the mug. So I opted for a decaf refill, it was pure perfection. Do yourself a favor & pop in to make this place your morning ritual.

    The coffee was actually delicious. The service not so much!…read more To be fair I ordered my coffee with my breakfast at The Goat (the restaurant that Morning Ritual shares the building with) but the coffee is listed on The Goat's menu, so they need to get in sync. Our breakfast ended up coming out before coffee, which made no sense. I had to ask about the coffees before they were actually made. When the girl came from morning ritual She brought out my husbands, hot cappuccino but my mocha out iced and I immediately said I don't drink cold coffee and I did an order iced. Instead of being apologetic, and stating that she would change it, she just snatched the iced coffee and walked away. That was such a strange encounter. It was rude and I got no apology, nor did I get any explanation of what would happen next. I let my server know to ensure I was still going to get a coffee because I can't live without my coffee in the morning! When my Moca loved her honey, oat milk, coffee came I took a sip and was glad i didn't flip out and say "forget the coffee" (as I was already done with breakfast by the time in arrived) because the drink was delicious! If I'm ever back in the area (I was staying in Raleigh but decided to take a little detour into Durham that morning) I'll come to only Morning Ritual to see if I can change this 3 star review for service issues into a 5. For now they need to work on getting coffee service to The Goat streamlined!

Ironically, I went here because I rarely get out to eat and the service has always been consistent. 1. There was no one at the cash register and an employee who was just about to go on break took my order. He was polite enough but I found out later that he put in the wrong order. 2. There were no tables that I saw that were wiped off. Some had the dishes removed but I needed to wipe off a table. 3. A cockroach scrambled across the floor near my table to the left of the coffee station. I wish I was joking, or seeing things but I wasn't the only person who saw it. One of the female employees went toward it and stepped on it but since it was headed toward my table, I moved. 4. It was really hot in there. Maybe not AC completely broken hot, but AC on the struggle bus hot. There was a large fan in the back dining room that wasn't doing much of anything except redistributing humidity. 5. I ordered an avocado toast with bacon and got delivered a grilled cheese sandwich. The server took it back but then I needed to ask for the bacon. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture because the same dish on Sunday was so elaborate and beautifully presented and the same order today was just meh. Not a good value for the price. I will say the server correcting someone else's mistake was clearly overwhelmed but doing her best. She was also the cockroach killer. I ate my lunch and read my book. My intention had been to linger a while and read but I decided to leave. The place was about 1/4 full when I left but all the tables still had crumbs, food debris and water on them made it too unpleasant to stick around. Very disappointing. I don't see myself going back any time soon. I do love their bread but I'm sure I can find someplace more pleasant or go to the downtown location instead.
