They helped me navigate my coffee order and executed it to perfection. They also answered all of my gluten free questions and took extra precautions for my allergy. The egg white and cheese sandwich with turkey bacon was great. Pro tip: Order it with a double portion of egg white for added protein. I also got an iced cafe latte with caramel. You can get a punch card for every coffee and get one free on your tenth purchase. They have a great pastry selection. I got an almond croissant to go for my mom on a recommendation from a friend that said it's a can't miss! (I can't try it due to my allergy but it looks amazing) The ambiance has a cute cafe with plenty of seating.

The white chocolate peppermint mocha wasn't too sweet and overpowering, it was tasty. The star of the show was the croissant bacon egg and cheese! The croissant was fresh and buttery, it was a really great breakfast. There is plenty of searing inside and the staff are very nice. The service is quick too! They are doing a December Holiday giveaway that gives you a random prize if you come back in January with your red envelope. I'll definitely be back to try out new items!

When I walked into the Paul and Jack Cary location, I smiled because it finally felt like home. I miss the cinnamon rolls from the west coast and couldn't wait to try theirs without the icing! It didn't disappoint! Moist, not too sweet and tasty!!! There is a good variety of pastries beyond the typical cookies and cakes found in this area :-) The only drawback is that their prices are much much higher than what I am used to, but I will be back in the future for a treat!

I think the avocado and the goat cheese compliments egg really good. It could do with a little more flavor to pair with the spring mix. May introduce me to this cafe and from what I heard they are quite known for their focaccia bread. I also tried a bit of my friend French toast and it was really good but not too sweet. From the outside it looks very simple and you might catch it just passing by. This place seems to be always busy and seats fill up fast. You order at front and take a number to your table. It's is on a slightly pricier side but the quality I think it's worth it. I think I'm not sure that they make the focaccia themselves.

Overall pretty yummy. The prices are what we expected for a smaller cafe and the food was nice and…read morefresh. The crepe was warm and filling and I had enough to save some for later. The croissant sandwich was yummy but wish it had a little more bread, buttt we know some heavily prefer more filling to bread. The side salad was fresh and light and complemented the sandwich well. Also got an iced hibiscus tea which wasn't too bad but would probably save on the tea next time. A little pricey in general but not out of the regular range of a smaller cafe, and the food you get is decent size and I was definitely satisfied at the end. Nice atmosphere and ambiance with flowers and giant teddy bears decorating the inside. I did wish the wooden benches and chairs had some cushion since it seemed like a lot of customers were doing work here. The parking is a bit annoying since it is right off the road and sometimes hard to exit.

Perfectly fine coffee shop that's totally a house…read more Charming set-up on a strip of road where homeowners are obsessed with the American flag. It's 1776 over there. Parking seems like it would be nonexistent on a busy day. I was there at noon on a Sunday. I like how they straight up turned a house into a shop. I like how it was so peaceful inside and outside. I like their event schedule. I like the focus on books. I like the ultra fast wifi and nice pastries. What I'm no fan of is the very obvious target market of moms, leaving me feel a bit left out. It's super in-your-face. But hey, I guess stay-at-home mothers need stuff to do too. Can't see myself returning, so I wish them all the luck in the world. Best, A.

The food looked as good as it tasted. The pastry was fresh, warm, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. It paired perfectly with the wine. The wine list was wonderful. There were plenty of options, and it felt well chosen, not overwhelming. The rosé we had was crisp and light, which worked great for lunch. Service stayed attentive without rushing anything. Overall, this spot works well for a laid back but elevated girls lunch.

Their grab-and-go breakfast burritos are consistently fresh, filling, and flavorful, and the coffee is exactly what you want in the morning: smooth, rich, and dependable. And the scones? Truly some of the best I've had this side of the pond--tender, just the right amount of sweetness, and always a treat with a hot cup of coffee. I also love the seating options. The indoor counter stools are great for a quick, cozy moment to yourself, and the outdoor streetside seating is perfect for people-watching with a cup of coffee in hand or to grab one and share with a neighbor in need at the nearby station. It's an easy, welcoming spot with great food and a relaxed atmosphere--highly recommend if you're anywhere nearby and need a good start to your day. It's also affordable so that buying another for a stranger is always the right thing to do.

Maybe it's because this time I'm not taking a work break amid student study breaks, but instead waiting for my animal friend to have some tests at the vet school with which this coffee shop shares a roof. Entirely different vibe at this different location. The coffee doesn't taste any different (sort of ordinary really) but the employees are different. Attitude. It's all attitude. Perhaps the difference is because this spot is frequented by people from the vet school or pet owners like me debating whether caffeine is a good idea when they're already stressed about their fur baby. Shared anxiety. That makes the employee attitude even more important. Nice people. Friendly people. The food here, simple wraps and sandwiches, does taste better for some reason. Even for institutionalized bites, it's served warm, tastes fresh (relative term, I know) and by employees who hand it to you instead of throwing it across the counter with a very much less than sincere "thank you".

I have been ordering my coffee and food with GrubHub, which is relatively smooth. My only complaint are the stickers that they attach to the coffees to identify the online customer that has ordered a coffee. The cup ends up being sticky because the heat of the coffee makes the adhesive glue gooey. This makes for an annoying coffee drinking experience, forcing you to pour the coffee into a new cup and washing the adhesive from your hands. Surely there must be a better way? Smaller adhesives, different adhesives?
