Starbucks refresher
Bobbie C.

My fav Starbucks since I moved to Raleigh years ago! They can be super busy in the mornings and the parking lot is the worst but the service is amazing and they are so friendly, always remembering the names of their routine customers. My drink is typically always good but when it's a bit off, they always remake it without a problem.

Starbucks are all much the same (which is a GOOD thing if the quality is good, ha ha!). The differences usually lie in the decor, parking, seating and so on more than the actual drinks. Oh, and the service... due to the younger staff, there's almost always an astonishingly high turnover rate at most of their stores... more on that in another review! The staff was up to snuff, the drinks were fine (the six of us got a wide variety and all were prepared well) and the store wasn't too crowded. This particular store has more seating than most so that was pleasant but the chair they DO have might not be the most comfortable as half of them are tall chairs (see my pic) and if you don't like that, you might not enjoy it as much. The other seats are of a more regular size, plus there's outdoor areas for when the weather is nice. The one real downside to this location is the parking is tight and you can hit your undercarriage getting in and out of it. With traffic on that street sometimes being a bit busy, you might be tempted to rush it until you hear that awful scraping sound. Still, if you keep that in mind, you should enjoy your visit here!

Possibly one of the "chill"est Starbucks I've been to. It's fitting that this store is off of Peace Street. I remember always driving past it when I used to live in Raleigh and noting to myself to actually visit it. Lo behold, finally, I've ventured inside it. Pretty big space with alot of seating, so bring your laptops or a book and pop a squat! They also have one of the most vast selections of starbucks paraphernalia I've seen in a store. The items varies from recipe books to tumblers. On nice days, I would recommend sitting outside. There's a nice bench (looks handbuilt along with umbrellas to keep you shielded from those harmful UV rays. The sun ain't loyal. I remember being frustrated at finding a table since all of them were marked with the handicap logo. I thought it was only for handicap people but after consulting with an employee, they just said that it's handicap friendly. If you're looking for a quiet starbucks, this isn't one of them. It gets pretty busy and there's people constantly running in and out of the store. However, I would definitely recommend this starbucks for people watching and vibing in a casual environment.

This location is so small but so cute and cozy. The bathrooms were clean and I was able to get my order quick. They pay attention to the name tags and say your name making you feel special. This location does have a drive thru and they offer outdoor seating that's covered.

Starbucks on Peace Street!

Great location. Right beside Mellow Mushroom. Who doesn't love the smell of coffee and pizza together? haha. The employees here are great at making drinks and are friendly to everyone that's nice to them. There's a large group of regulars that come here every day. It's the perfect place to hang out after dinner.. or to study for final exams like what I did. Here's a cool fact: An old woman drove her car into the side of the building destroying one of the windows near the entrance. The employees kept the hood ornament of her car after it was towed away. LOL. Fyi - There is free wi-fi. You need to activate a starbucks gift card and register it online. The login information is what you use to connect to the at&t internet connection.

Great atmosphere!

This Starbucks rocks! There are about 4 or sometimes 5 young workers in the back looking to make fast, but delicious beverages. The vibe inside is super friendly. Everyone pretty much knows each other and can often be chatty, good place to get a break from my home office! I noticed that you can order on the app, not have to even wait in line to pay, and grab your coffee fast. These people simply walk in and walk out. The parking can be a bit hectic in this lot so be careful if you're pulling in fast. If you're looking to get some work done there are plenty of outlets and tables, and I noticed that the wifi is reasonably fast also. You do not need a password, the google starbucks wifi should pop up immediately when you open your internet browser (people ask me about this all the time). Hope this helps!

Good clean spot, and me of their older locations so it's a fairly tight space but seating is never an issue. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Super fast service, I was in and out within 5 mins!

The chocolate brownie is thick and rich, but not too sweet, and the marshmallow cream is divine, especially with the ice cream. A lot of their drinks and gin based, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I always find something I can enjoy. The service is great and relatively quick, and everyone I've met there is kind and willing to help. The inside is a bit small, so smaller crowds are better and it does tend to get crowded later in the evening and on weekends. The outside street sitting area is nice too and hopefully will be fully fixed soon. Overall a great places to stop for drinks and desserts after a nice meal! And the menu rotates seasonally so you'll always have the chance to try something new!

The desserts were great, the drinks were even better, but Brandon was easily the highlight of our experience. He was kind, helpful, sharp, and clearly knew exactly what he was talking about. Five stars all around. We'll definitely be back.

There is a variety of seating, from long wooden tables to smaller individual areas. We ordered a chai latte and golden milk latte, both with oat milk. Both drinks were good.

They had a lot of options as far as specialty lattes but I am glad I went with the Vanilla Maple. I was worried that the maple flavor would be too much but it complimented the vanilla well. The inside was VERY well decorated, and I would've loved to stay and do a little computer work! I could see myself coming by and sitting down for a quick brunch, meeting up with friends, or staying for a work session.

We didn't try the food, but everything coming out looked great. A couple of small downsides: parking can be a bit tricky, although we found free street parking just down the block. There were also quite a few flies inside during our visit, so I hope that's something they can address. Overall, a great experience, and we'll definitely be back!

I selected from their seasonal drinks and opted for the iced summer crumble latte. I ordered the summer crumble latte (espresso, milk of choice, blueberry, house made oat crumble distillation, subtle lemon coconut infusion, oat tincture, lemon rind garnish) which was excellent and tasted like a bowl of cereal milk. I noticed several people ordering matcha which also may be excellent and something I'll have to try next time. If you are in the Glenwood South area and are looking for a good coffee shop, definitely check out Iris Coffee Lab.

This morning, I walked in and saw not one familiar face there, and I've come to learn all the staff walked out simultaneously weeks ago. 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. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years! If you are looking for a coffee nearby, jubala (pendo), black & white (videri), heirloom are all great options (and sir Walter coffee and 42 & Lawrence are decent and close)

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.

If I'm in the area again I'll definitely be stopping by black and white coffee for a cup of coffee.

I've seen their coffee flights online and they always look delicious- spoiler, they are! I tried the mint chocolate chip, banana pudding, frosted animal cookie, and coconut lattes. The only one I thought was just okay was the coconut, the flavor was fine but something about the shaved coconut toppings and syrup didn't do it for me. The other three, however, were delicious! The frosted animal cookie was my favorite by far. I'd love to come back to try the other two flavors! I also tried the Sonder Smash- it was so tasty!! It's an English muffin with pesto, cream cheese, sausage, and an egg (I took off the tomato). It was super filling and delicious. I highly recommend! Overall- great spot with fun drinks and food.

When we were ready to order, we were advised that they only had enough cups for one iced coffee flight, but they could do a hot coffee flight. Both wanting iced, we opted to get a regular sized coffee and smoothie bowl to go. Though disappointed about the inability to try the (iced) coffee flight, the lattes we did order and my friend's smoothie bowl were delicious! We will definitely be going back to try out their new location and the coffee flight!

Just wanted to take the time to clap for the staff here…read more I've only been here twice now. But both times the service was SO fast. I came here on a week day and it was packed but the kitchen seemed steady. Their service is very stream lined with pagers for food orders. There is a lot of seating but it also seems to be a place where a good chunk of people come to work. They have a library inside as well and the books at the time were all $3 ea. Today I came and it's a Sunday. As expected they were SLAMMED. Line to the door of people waiting and line to the door of people ordering. I still got my coffee in less than 5 min. People waiting on food were getting theirs in similar time. The staff was killing it! They have a large selection of baked goods (lots of laminated dough), fast casual breakfast & lunch, and a huge coffee menu. They also have gluten free options for food and about a dozen gf/df baked goods. They said they have separate prep space and changed gloves for gluten free food but it's a shared oven. I didn't have any issues though. To who ever is managing your kitchen and staff, you're doing a great job. To the staff, hats off Highly recommend this place for a light breakfast and good coffee, or just a good place to hang out on your laptop.
