The food, however, was a bit underwhelming. I ordered a croissant with egg and cheese--the croissant itself was decent, but the eggs were were microwaved. It was also on the smaller side for $6, which didn't quite match the price. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee and atmosphere, but would probably skip the food next time.

It's good coffee for sure but definitely came with sticker shock! Prices are in line with what…read moreyou'd expect in the highlands but still $2 extra for almond milk? Replacing whole milk with almond milk is that much more expensive? Service is good but they are busy and tend to focus on local regulars. Kind of makes you feel like the uncool kid in the lunchroom.

I was also pleasantly surprised at how good the biscuits were. They were nice and light and fluffy. My husband really enjoyed the pastrami hash. I really liked how the coffee is served in different types of coffee cups. Just like visiting family that has collected mugs along their travels. Service was quick even thought it was Friday morning. We were sat right away.

We both got the pimento cheese grits with sausage patty and split an order of the banana bread and pecan praline french toast. The grits were creamy and flavorful.

Still thinking about it a week later. We also got the buffalo shrimp which was equally as delicious and super fresh. The peppercorn ranch that it came with was super good too. Others in our party got the pretzel bites and were very impressed with the pretzel and the queso and spicy mustard dipping sauces. There is a large space beside the brewery with fire pits and space to run and play for kids. There is a giant tv outside and lots of places to sit - both inside and outside. We were there the week after Christmas and though it was cold there were plenty of heaters/fire pits etc to keep warm near. Really great spot for all! We will definitely come back!

There's a case on the counter with several simple pastries like this and they all looked lovely. I also saw that they served Counter Culture coffee, which I love and which is a NC local brew, so I grabbed a bag of that (whole beans) to go as well. The vibe was chill and minimalist, acoustic chill pop/folk music playing in the background, students on laptops everywhere studying. The girl at the counter was kind and laid back. Nothing fancy about this place but I would go out of my way to come here again in the future. I loved it.
