    Tea at Raleigh Raw
    Krissy W.

    Not a bad little hidden joint in Raleigh, NC. Off of Fayetteville street. The price for a cup of tea is the price to expect when in Raleigh. You ain't in Clayton anymore sis! The service was friendly and kind. Offering different sweetners to go along with your tea. The feel and ambiance of the coffee shop was chill. The type of vibe you would expect in a joint like this. There are live plants up on the bar. Decent music playing. Maybe a little too loud. So, not ideal if you're trying to read and study.

    Tomato Soup, Poke Bowl, Late.
    Maria L.

    Stopped in for a latte, tomato soup, and a poke bowl and everything hit the spot! The tomato soup was incredible (I added rice and highly recommend doing the same). The poke bowl was good, though nothing too special. What really stood out was the staff, they went above and beyond after I mentioned my severe tree nut allergy. They took the time to wipe down all the machines and ensure no cross-contamination, which meant a lot since many of their drinks and dishes include nuts. The coffee was amazing, and the vibe inside is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual lunch or catching up with friends. I'll definitely be going back!

    Juice, please?!

    To-go Juice Order: Here for the cold-pressed juices and they are phenomenal! Tried the Quest, Morning Glory, Be No Ego, and the beet juice. All were tasty and the ingredients were perfect. Parking was challenging, so I hopped out and had the hubs circle the block for me. Thankfully, service and checkout was fast and friendly. I was in and out in a jiffy. Can't wait to return and try more menu items. Cheers!

    Great place for acai and poke bowls. I love the use of bee pollen. I really also like their juices. I have done one of their juice cleanses in the past. I always stop by when I am downtown for a nice healthy treat. It a bit expensive, but they use a lot of high-quality ingredients.

    Matcha Latte
    Jillian S.

    Yum, tasty vegan cafe in downtown Raleigh! I highly recommend requesting the house made coconut milk in your drink. I chose the matcha latte made with coconut milk and was not disappointed. While walking downtown on a cold morning, I stopped at Raleigh Raw to warm up. The ladies working the counter greeted me upon arrival, showed me where the menus were (at the end of the counter closest to the door), and took my order. Although the food menu looked delicious, I decided on a matcha latte and a pre-bottled juice. The menu is rather pricy, particularly for the beverages. The food items are more reasonably priced. The music is pleasant. It is louder than other cafes but fits the atmosphere. Ample seating is available inside at tables and the bar. Two single clean bathrooms are available in the back of the dining room for use. It took longer than expected to receive the latte, but it was well worth the wait. I enjoyed both beverages. As I mentioned above, the coconut milk used in the matcha latte is divine. The juice I chose was a blend of beet, ginger, lemon, carrot, cucumber, celery, apple, and parsley. It tasted fresh, flavorful (particularly the ginger and beets), and was surprisingly filling. Overall, I had a positive experience here and would return for another coconut milk latte!

    I wandered into Raleigh Raw as I was looking for a bottled water for my upcoming walking tour. I normally have a few in the car but forgot to add one. I was immediately greeted and asked about the water as I wasn't sure if they'd have that. But I was pointed to where they were and was rung up and the cashier was asking all about the tour I was going to take. It was genuine so that was nice. I will be back on the days they do the juices as I love to support places with great service and the products seem high quality here.

    Cutest place with a great healthy vibe and friendly staff. There were so many great offerings on the menu, we had a hard time deciding! We chose the smoothie bowls and they were fantastic.

    Visiting through Raleigh, a couple blocks walking distance from the Convention Center is Raleigh Raw that is if you like walking. Parking is also on the street that you pay for at street kiosk. This is the place for fresh pressed juices and smoothies! Classy cafe with indoor dining and at the bar. I ordered to go and received helpful service. The best time to get your fresh juices are first in the morning because the end of the day can be less selection of choices. Kale Me Maybe, Rock Steady, Quest were my favorites. Coldacado is a also delicious smoothie and filling too. So if you like to eat/drink healthy or need a raw treat after a good workout, this is a place to go.

    Very nice spot! We got an açaí bowl, blueberry smoothie, and toast w/ ghee. Everything was very tasty. The vibes inside and out were great and we had good service from everyone we spoke to! Prices were a bit high, though the food was quality.

I had the crab claws, crispy shrimp and dumplings. The crab claws were delicious. Lots of them too. Served with bread I didn't use. The crispy shrimp were nice large shrimp and a spicy sauce with rice. I ended up using the rice with the crab claw sauce. And the dumplings were ok but I didn't eat many of them. They were my least favorite. I would come back to enjoy coffee and breakfast, but doubt I come back for dinner.

I could see myself coming by and sitting down for a quick brunch, meeting up with friends, or staying for a work session.

    Iris Coffee Lab is where you bring the friend who can tell you the origin of a bean after one sip,…read morewho gets excited about extraction methods and tasting notes, and who genuinely believes coffee deserves the same reverence as a fine bottle of wine. Iris isn't trying to be trendy: it is unapologetically devoted to the craft. The interior reflects that philosophy. A restrained palette of white, charcoal, and soft gray keeps distractions to a minimum, allowing every cup to remain the focal point. It's clean, modern, and intentionally understated. If you're someone who typically reaches for cream and sugar, I'd encourage you to order at least one cup black. Iris sources and roasts exceptional coffee, and tasting it without distractions is the best way to appreciate the nuance and balance that have earned the café such a devoted following. That said, the seasonal menu is every bit as thoughtful. On this visit, I ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha Latte, a drink layered with tropical sweetness, creamy matcha, and just enough complexity to keep each sip interesting. The final few sips, where all of the flavors settled together, were unexpectedly my favorite part. My brother-in-law chose Iris's signature blueberry-forward latte, while my niece ordered the house-made chai. Before she'd even finished half the cup, she looked up and declared, "This is the best chai I've ever had." Her father, after trying it himself, agreed without hesitation. The breakfast menu compliments the beverage program well, offering thoughtfully prepared dishes that feel every bit as intentional as the drinks. Like many destination coffee shops, Iris tends to attract people who settle in for a while. Laptops are open across nearly every table, conversations are minimal, and the room has the focused energy of a shared studio rather than a bustling café. Because of the open design, voices travel easily, making it a better place for quiet work than lively catch-ups. The café is meticulously maintained, including spotless restrooms that reflect the same attention to detail found throughout the space. Parking can require a bit of patience, though I've almost always managed to find a spot without too much trouble. Iris Coffee Lab isn't trying to appeal to everyone, and that's exactly what makes it special. It's a café for people who care about coffee, how it's sourced, brewed, and experienced. In a city with no shortage of coffee shops, Iris has carved out a distinct identity by putting craftsmanship ahead of trends, creating a destination that's as much about curiosity as it is about caffeine.

After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth.

I'm a big fan of lighter-roasted, funky, expressive coffees, and Black & White absolutely delivers. Their roasting style leans into vibrant, fruit-forward profiles, and they do it with confidence. The downtown Raleigh location is fantastic too. It's right in the middle of everything, making it a great stop for a date night, meeting up with friends, or just dropping in for a quick but exceptional cup. Their seasonal menu was small but mighty -- just a couple of options -- but the kind where every drink looks so good you wish they'd never rotate them off the menu. I started with the orange cardamom flat white, and it was perfect in every way. Beautifully presented and incredibly balanced. The espresso, milk, orange, and cardamom all complemented each other without any one flavor taking over. It was nuanced, aromatic, and just a joy to drink. For my second drink, I ordered a Rodrigo Sanchez pour-over, a co-fermented Colombian coffee labeled with passion fruit notes. It was everything I want from a pour-over -- bright, juicy, and expressive, with the kind of sweet stone fruit and berry notes that make light-roasted coffee so exciting. Black & White continues to prove why they're one of the most respected specialty roasters around. If you love adventurous coffee with huge flavor and careful execution, this place is an absolute must-visit.
