When you walk inside, you're greeted by a large, open space with a clean, minimalist design that feels modern without being cold. The menu is where this place stands out. There are a lot of fun choices, including several unique options you don't see at most coffee spots, which makes it worth exploring beyond your usual order. I kept it simple and went with a red eye, and it delivered--good, solid coffee with the extra kick you want when you're in the middle of a workday. Overall, a convenient stop with a cool atmosphere and a menu that brings something a little different to the table. Definitely a good spot to keep in mind if you're in the Cary area.

Their entrance led into a small but charming shop displaying local art treasures. Even though small, they made good use of the space with tables of varying sizes to accommodate single customers or small groups. The service was excellent and included bringing my order to me personally. I ordered a latte with almond milk and found the coffee base had an excellent flavor. The shop is close to local businesses but tucked in with smaller shops. There was plenty of parking which is a plus. I'll definitely go back the next time I'm in the area and try one of their food offerings.

It's a cozy and comfortable place with inside and outdoor seating. They serve several types of coffee blends and other beverages. They also have a limited pastry and baked goods selection. After ordering our cold brew, macchiato, and chocolate croissant we sat in some comfortable chairs in an area with shelves full of neat and quirky items to peruse while waiting for our order. While waiting a section of the bookcases opened as a family walked out. Didn't realize it was there. Not sure what's back there, but pretty interesting nonetheless. Picked up our orders and sipped over a conversation for lunch and hitting some open houses. The cold brew was very good. The croissant was fluffy and tasty, which paired well with the strength of the macchiato. This is a great little place to enjoy coffee and conversation or read a book. There were a few patrons working on their laptops as well. Pretty cool place overall. Recommend trying this place.

I came here to kill some time and read, so i wondered through the shop. The ambience is very cozy, and they had a cover patio (though it was kind of rainy that day). There was also a little room with tchotchkes for sale, and the tea room (I poked my head in just to see and the employee was ~ not amused ~ oops). I'd say this is great if you want to stop in for coffee and chat with a friend. I'd also love to book tea sometime, as it's a cool concept! This wouldn't be on my list for a solo coffee trip, as it was hard to find a comfortable corner to read a book.

There's plenty of parking in the adjacent parking lot. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They have breakfast & lunch menu's. They don't have a ton of options, but just enough. They have a huge drink menu, coffee, cold brews, their famous coffee smoothies, juice smoothies, and all types of teas from matcha to milk tea. There's so many options. The team behind the counter were very nice & helpful it being my first time. It's not fancy, but cute and cozy. There's lots of seating, plenty of outlets for laptops, it's a great place to work. The outdoor patio is covered with plenty of tables. I ordered the iced coconut latte and one of the baked goods from a local bakery on display at the counter. The latte was delicious & the Crumbcake was fresh and okay.

There is ample seating and restrooms in the room adjacent to the ordering counter. The line moves quickly and they offer numerous beverage options and coffee beans. My rating is reduced to a 3 due to how condescending the manager (?) spoke to a (presumably) new employee. There are appropriate ways to train and treat new employees without belittling them.

When you arrive parking can be found either on the street or in a nearby parking lot. There was a pretty long line wrapping around the coffee shop so we hopped in line. When we were at the coffee shop there doesn't seem to be enough seating for how much traffic is going through the shop as the inside and outside seating were pretty full. Unfortunately the atmosphere was a bit overshadowed by being overcrowded and several kids running around. The atmosphere inside the coffee shop feels like a modern vibe but nestled within a small town. I ordered a strawberry glazed donut and a vanilla latte. I wasn't the biggest fan of the donut as it didn't taste the freshest and the espresso shots weren't pulled correctly as the latte tasted a bit watery/thin. This coffee shop is crowded as it's really the only option in Fuqua-Varina but may try it again if I'm in the area again.

When you arrive there is…read moreplenty of parking out front, behind the coffee shop in the nearby parking lot, or parallel parking across the street. Walking up to the coffee shop you'll see a painted crosswalk with flowers, and beautiful mural of birds on the side of the building, and a purple color front. When you walk in you'll be transported to a cozy, charming, and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are also extremely nice and welcoming. I ordered the seasonal latte which I can't remember what it was called. It had turmeric and some other spaces, I believe it was called the bee latte and it was excellent. I hear the Orange Blossom latte is also really good. Also, check out the upstairs seating area. This is a great coffee shop to spend some time in and also for remote work.

I've learned during my time in the Carolinas that you must request for your coffee to be extra hot which is what I did so it was the perfect temperature. The veggie bagel scramble was decent, no Wao factor but it was a nice quick bite while on the run. Staff seemed nice too, no real complaints here. I consider coming back, but only if I happen to be close by not a place I'd go out of my way for. The location is pretty nice too. I like the curve appeal and the fact that there's plenty of parking. Prices were more than reasonable for today's market, which is nice to see. Solid four stars.

I come here pretty much 5 days a week. Dirty Matcha (3 espresso), almond milk, iced…read more Today I sent my crew member to order exactly this and they gave her a regular matcha with 3 espresso on the side. I went back to ask for it to be remade, since this is not what I wanted and I haven't touched any of the product, which usually would be no problem, especially since the young man at the counter was very new. The first answer I got was "we don't do that here", which is not true, then the somewhat curtly brown haired white girl said "well I can just pour it in there for you! It will be the same thing!" Laughing and rolling her eyes. Which I prompted that I really would rather have it remade, since it will affect the flavor and it was not what I had ordered. She continued to try to go back and forth with me about remaking my drink trying to make it seem like it's a problem and telling me "the way you came in was a lot" even though I asked multiple times, very nicely and tried to make clear, that my problem right now is about the attitude my complaint was handled with because I understand that mistakes can happen. I also understand that it shouldn't be a problem to make it right at the end without making fun and rolling eyes. My remade drink was still wrong and it was obvious that it was purposely this time, since I told her my order again, she repeated it and still proceeded to use a LG cup instead of a regular, but continued using regular cup measurements+ 1 espresso shot (which is also not what would come in there regularly). Even after I mentioned, again, that it was supposed to be 3 espresso shots( she charged me for another 2 shots,which is fine, I'm not here to get anything for free, I really just wanted my one drink made right) she handed me a regular matcha, 3 espresso in a large cup, filled up with milk to the top. Again, this is not what I ordered. But I had to go to my own job so I had no time to go through this again. Side note: a large drink would usually come with 4 shots. I don't even work at this place and am aware of this. However, some of these "baristas" need some serious training when it comes to customer service. Sad, because I actually really like this place and the girl and guy that usually are there in the morning are awesome.
