    English Toffee Latte

    That was the best restaurant experience i've ever had. The staff were so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They had the most amazing menu with natural ingredients. You can tell they are really passionate about clean food and we need more of that in Greenville! I would drive 3 hours just to go to this restaurant. Definitely a hidden gem that deserves all the business! Best experience ever! Will be back!!

    I love this place! I have been here two or three times now. I have been with a friend friend and I have also been on a double date. This is such a great lunch spot. I love the amazing offerings for entrées as well as sides. The ambience of the restaurant is also really cute - it is warm and inviting. It is a fun place to take people, especially people visiting the area. The only thing that is a little strange is having to figure out that you order the food yourself at the register but once you know that it is totally fine. happy this place came Winterville.

    Oh man! Why oh why did I wait so long to try this place?! It is TOP tier. I have not found a better sandwich in Greenville, and certainly gives a run for its money to Triangle place I've tried. It is a beautiful place. Shaina has done a beautiful job making it look both inviting and cozy as well as aesthetically pleasing. It is boho and mid-century with lots of plants. Stunning! Shaina and husband, Matt are easy going and easy to talk to. Their passion for customer care is evident and just sitting there watching interactions, I noticed lots of regulars and friendly relationships with patrons. We all chatted at length too! The food was unexpectedly tasty. I had no idea. I got a simple chicken and bacon and avocado with side salad at about 11:31 and by 11:38, my brain exploded (in the best possible way). The flavors!! Parmesan crusting in the bread, each element of the sandwich imbued with careful flavor attention. Even the blue cheese for my salad had stone ground mustard in it - I've never had that - and it was great! Moved in to coffee and a cinnamon roll, which obviously revived me from the dead and filled me with the joy of 1,000 suns. It was so good! I am already planning to be back next week as I conveniently scheduled a meeting there....or should I say...meating!

    Spectacular place for an upper end brunch. Ordered two entrees because I couldn't decide - both were excellent. Dirty Chai was top notch and I order that everywhere I go. (Also the fanciest I have ever been served.). Owner was proud of her food, service and place - and she should be. Came over and spoke for a bit. Definitely be here again next visit to Greenville.

    runnnnn to Meating Ground Cafe to get the new and improved smash burger with a homemade sourdough bun (peep that perfect crumb) and parmesan rosemary fries fried in beef tallow. you MUST get the garlic aioli. 10/10

    Always amazing food, staff and atmosphere! Everyone is so welcoming. Matcha Latte , London Fog and avocado toast

The Grand Breakfast truly lived up to its name--plentiful and delicious.The staff were friendly and attentive, checking on us often and making sure we had everything we needed.

    Our party called ahead the day before visiting the restaurant for Wednesday reservations. We were…read moretold to arrive around 9am the next morning. After arriving a few minutes early we were told it would be "a bit" before they could seat us. "A bit" turned out to be more than an hour and even then they sat us at multiple tables throughout the restaurant. After being seated, we were promptly ignored. Fifteen more minutes went by before our sullen, unpleasant server took our drink orders and eventually our breakfast orders. She was not only extremely slow and inattentive, but blatantly disrespectful to one member of our party by rolling her eyes and making gestures when she thought we couldn't see her. Once our order was placed, we waited then waited more. We had decided to leave if our food had not arrived by 12pm and go to Bojangles in Vanceboro, but at 11:50, over three hours after arriving, our food finally showed up. My omelet was enormous and overflowing with ground sausage. It was OK, but would have been better with less sausage. My shredded hash browns were cold. The biscuit that accompanied the omelet was cold and hard. My dining companion liked her french toast, but noted her eggs, though properly prepared over medium, were cold. Same goes for her home fries. However, the buttery syrup, served with her french toast, was served warm and was absolutely amazing. Wow! It made my biscuit edible and was the best part of our meals. The restaurant is attached to a hardware store in a rural part of Craven County. It definitely has a country vibe and was spotless. Incredibly slow and disrespectful service combined with OK-at-best food make it difficult to recommend Voder's Dutch Pantry in any capacity to anyone.

His simple ass kept asking me what was wrong with it and I had to break it down like I was talking to a toddler. He was also either sick at work or had put some snow up is nose, because he was sniffling and snorting every two seconds. They aren't concerned about selling spoiled meats, apparently. Jacob and May are absolutely worthless and one way or another, Bagelman is going to make you sick. Quick reminder of their Health Department violations: VIOLATIONS Proper cooling methods used; adequate equipment for temperature control Food separated & protected Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean Proper cold holding temperatures Handwashing sinks supplied & accessible Edit after Bagelman's response: I think the fact that they think this was just a complaint about their bacon shows that they genuinely don't comprehend food safety. And I absolutely told you what you could go do - this was after being told that you didn't understand what the problem was and I said that you need to check food quality because you're going to make people sick. Notice how I never asked for a refund? I was calling to keep you from making your customers sick, and taking ANY accountability was well beyond your capabilities. A decent business would be concerned with selling rancid products - and Jason didn't know the word "rancid", btw. You can literally see the photo. That isn't what bacon is supposed to look like, my guy. Worse, there's no way it didn't look or smell off before it was prepared and put on a sandwich. But by all means, respond with something else showing exactly how obtuse you are. And other customers: All of the violations listed are public record. They're literally available on this app.
