On a whim we decided to enjoy a road trip and Raleigh adventure. We started our day at this great…read morecoffee shop. The coffee shop is on a fairly busy street with street parking everywhere. 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.

Cute spot! I ordered an iced pistachio latte and it was yummy. The barista was friendly and they…read moreseem to be dog friendly as well. 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.

I highly recommend Full Bloom Coffee Roasters!!! It's 30 minutes from my house, but I would…read moredefinitely take the drive again for their coffee & food!! I visited today for my Coffee Shop Saturday series and I'm so so glad I did. It's located on Main Street in Garner, plenty of free parking out front. Kyle was awesome and helped me choose between the many food options. They serve breakfast all day!!!! Everyone was so great and friendly. It's the cutest place! Great place to work or just hang. There's a table with a couple of chairs on the main level where you order, then there's this very spacious upstairs with so many tables, a counter with bar stools and even a couch!! The windows make it even more amazing! I ordered the Bacon Bagel Scramble and a hot Hazelnut Latte w/ oat milk. It was love at first bite and first sip!!! Both were soooooo good. I'll be back soon for sure!!

Solid coffee spot. Cappuccino was about a 7/10, not quite as silky as I prefer, not as milky so you…read morecan really taste to coffee which is a plus for me. 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.

In this week's edition of Coffee Shop Saturday's, I went to the very well known and highly…read moreacclaimed 42 & Lawrence, downtown Raleigh, and I'm so glad I finally did. I lucked up and found a parking spot right across the street on this rather hot 4th of July afternoon. I'm glad they were open and I missed the crowds due to the parade & other 4th festivities nearby. The two Baristas were so awesome, I had a great time chatting with them while I waited on my delicious hot Baklava Latte w/ oat milk. I saw their post about it on their IG page and knew I had to try it. They have so many options for coffee, cold brew, matcha, tea and more. They can also make your drink however you like it. But for me if something is on the menu, it's been perfected, so I'm going to try it. They have yummy looking pastries, I'll have to go back and try one of the many varieties of croissants! I sat in the cutest little corner nook looking out the window, it was perfect!! Again, I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally check them out, but I'm super glad I did.

Cute little spot. A few blocks from my hotel in the city center and around the corner from the…read moreconvention center. The coffee was solid and they know how to steam oat milk well! I got a lavender mocha with oat milk. The only reason why I didn't give it. A five star is because I like my coffee. Just a little bit bolder. When you put in some mixing coffee sometimes goes away. I still had the essence of coffee which let me know that it's a nice medium roast. But I do prefer a dark and bold yet, smooth roast. The blueberry pot tart was OK. The pastry part was delicious, but the blueberry filling was a little dry. I love blueberries. So glad that that was the option. Trying a few other coffee spots while here, but I can see myself coming back this week!

It's located next to Village District. I was greeted immediately by a nice young man. I asked for his hot food suggestion, and of course he suggested the waffles! I ordered a waffle with fresh bananas and Nutella...every bite was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a lavender latte and loved it. They sell scones from a local vendor and I had a gluten free orange cranberry scone which was also delicious. Benelux is spacious and has plenty of seating. Tables, high tops and even a couple of comfortable love seats.
