Their entrance led into a small but charming shop displaying local art treasures. Even though small, they made good use of the space with tables of varying sizes to accommodate single customers or small groups. The service was excellent and included bringing my order to me personally. I ordered a latte with almond milk and found the coffee base had an excellent flavor. The shop is close to local businesses but tucked in with smaller shops. There was plenty of parking which is a plus. I'll definitely go back the next time I'm in the area and try one of their food offerings.

Tried the matcha latte with coconut milk this time and loved it. They told me the matcha itself is…read moreunsweetened and the sugar is added based on your preference, which I really appreciated.

It was the twisted flamingo lemonade refresher and an almond muffin square for me and an iced tiramisu latte with a white chocolate cherry protein bite for my husband. I do not drink coffee so I only took a few sips but that latte was amazing. I also really liked my lemonade and the baked goods. This spot is only open Saturday and Sunday from 7:30AM-5PM.

I came here after a long day's job in Fuquay-Varina and was looking for a light pick-me-up. The girls at the counter were happy to recommend a drink for me and make it in my tumbler. I got a piece of lemon bread and reflected on the day's work. It is a great place to unwind after a long day. I had a long drive ahead of me after my visit, so I'm glad I stopped in. I'll keep this little shop in mind for when I'm in town again.

Very small with a table for bible studies or whatever…read more Dealing with a place called "Mission," yes, you must expect that sort of thing, along with various Christian knick-knacks for sale and copious amounts of Christian themed music playing over the speakers. It is very much catering to a specific audience, and if you're the other side of that audience, you may feel a bit alienated. I didn't. I enjoyed my time there, but it's not a spot for my repeat visits.

We had some time to kill and were looking for a non-chain coffee spot. This one was close by and…read morehad great reviews. So we decided to give them a try. We had a little difficulty finding it. GPS brought us to the parking lot behind the building. There isn't clear signage to direct you where to go. We managed to find our way up the stairs and into the building. There are a number of businesses located inside. Lucky Tree is super cute. It's set up to encourage working, with plenty of charging spots all around. 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. Fyi there is a separate entrance from the side that takes you directly to another smaller parking lot.

I decided to try this out for a quick coffee stop while in town for a conference. The service was…read morefriendly and quick! I tried the breakfast bagel bites, which were soft and warm. I loved the cheese on top! I was not a huge fan of the flavor the almond flour gave them but it was not overpowering. I would probably get them again! 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.

Outside has a good amount of sitting and plenty of shade. I've been enjoying trying their monthly specialty drinks. I also like how there are non dairy milk options. There is also a few book clubs, which is cool. Parking feels limited at first but I've learned that you can park in the back back on the grass or the the left side going into the back.

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.

Stopped by Blackbird Books & Coffee and wow it didn't disappoint! There is a coffee shop located in…read morethe back of the coffee shop. When you arrive parking is tough in this area as it is near Moore square. I'd recommend parking a couple blocks away and walking or parking in a nearby garage. Walking in the book/coffee shop feels inclusive, cozy, and vibrant/community focused. There's also a section of banned books which is great to see and really highlights the progressive bookshelves. For coffee I ordered the Banana Pudding Latte which has banana puree and nilla wafers. It was so refreshing to order this iced on a hot day and the banana flavor wasn't overpowering. Definitely check out the Blackbird book/coffee shop if you are in the local Raleigh area.

This shop is nestled into the small streets of DT Raleigh in a charming way, like a corner in Diagon alley. It's walking distance from a park and many eateries. We all ordered pastries and lattes, then shopped for stickers and books. There's a table near the front and some more in the back by the cafe. Fun, curated collections of books and zines that we really appreciated. My hot oat matcha latte was delicious and so was my amazing cheddar scone. The baristas and owner were incredibly nice and friendly. It set the tone for a great day in DT Raleigh.

Two weeks ago, the sidewalk was closed . Ordered the sizzler and it was delicious. I like that the croissant is not over toasted although next time I will ask for a lighter browned one. I was greeted promptly and my order was taken rapidly. She was courteous and efficient. I did try the green monster smoothie but it was too much banana. I appreciate them having a water jug so you can get a cup of water on your own. The California stack was big and good. Flavors blend really well. Definitely coming back and probably adding it to morning place rotation as a solid option.
