    A cute coffee shop and bar! A great spot in downtown Fuquay near other shops and restaurants. A great place to meet up with friends for a drink or work on your computer. The shop also has outdoor seating for when it's nice and a few TVs. I tried a coffee drink off their fall drink menu. It was called Cinderella's pumpkin. It was really good. I really liked the vibe here. Staff was super chill and welcoming. Small town charm at its finest. I for sure will be back!

    I happened to be in downtown Fuquay for work one morning and knew I needed coffee. I'd been to The Mill for one of their past art vendor fairs, but hadn't gotten anything to drink. It was around 10am and there were people inside, but nothing crazy. The barista was friendly and greeted me, asked if there was anything I needed help with. I did ask for his recommendation on syrup flavors for a latte and decided on an iced, nonfat cinnamon sugar latte. It was just right! Sweet, but not too sweet, and I could taste the espresso. I also got a 1/2 off scone (which he warmed up for me at my request) from the day before and it was still soft and tasty. It appears you can also get wine and beer depending on the time of day. Friendly town, good coffee, I'll stop by again!

    This quaint little spot is perfect for a quick meeting or a pick me up. The airy feeling is inviting and warm and the staff makes you want to stay! Enjoy free wi-fi and work the day away!

    If you want to be ignored come on in!! I was completely ignored so I charged my phone then left for brus on main where they smile at you when you walk in! I'm actually still charging at the moment.

    Okay so the coconut almond Frappuccino was beyond amazing. The food is from stick boy Bakery. Got a few items half off for being a day old and honestly shouldn't have gotten it, ended up throwing them out because they were so very stale and dry. Nothing worse than a dry stale scone. The cheesecake was amazing though

    I ordered a latte and a blueberry scone. The latte was delicious but the scone was tasteless and very dry. The ambiance was clean and nice.

They have a great selection of rotating taps with a focus on German beers. They usually keep at least a couple IPA and Stout taps. They also have wine by the glass. Parking can be a bit of a pain. TCB only has two official parking spots, if there are any spots in the lot use those ones last because all of the lot frequently fills up due to Winging It next door...especially on their trivia night. So if you leave the TCB only spots open someone who can't find a spot may get one. On the bright side, Winging It takes phone in orders and will deliver it to TCB at the bar for you if you ask. Outside food is obviously welcome since they don't have a restaurant. Interesting fact, under the previous owners there was a brewery that shared space with TCB called 3rd Degree Brewhouse. They didn't survive the covid years but it was cool! They regularly have food trucks on some Fridays and Saturdays (who will ultimately steal those two parking spots). They do have some bar food including hot pretzels served with beer cheese and mustard and it's pretty good. They are super dog friendly....like if dogs bother you, don't come here. The owners dogs are sweet and behave. They are also kid and family friendly. Some of the visitors on the other hand, their owners need to train their pups a bit more. I have seen a few squabbles over the years and heard more than a few barking contests. Don't worry, they are usually calmed down fast. And I won't let you know if I was talking about the dogs, kids or maybe both. One of my favorite things is that they use Untappd. You can see their menu on there as well as check in beers as you drink them. As of writing this I have 192 check in's there across at least 6 years. I used to be a regular but I cut back on my drinking and haven't been in awhile, but I need to go to get to 200 check ins! They frequently host DJ Gino for Music Bingo which is my favorite. He also does music, karaoke, record nights, and probably some other DJ-eeyness that I'm forgetting. There are dozens of board games inside, a couple video games, Touch Tunes, TVs to watch sports, and even a golf arcade game. Outside they have corn hole and covered picnic tables with some really nice rocking chairs. Cigar smoking is allowed out front. Aside from the rotating taps, they have a huge selection of refrigerated and non-refrigerated beer, non-alcoholic beer, kids drinks like root beer and Saranack Shirley Temples, and a few other things. Tap water and cups is back in the corner. My only gripe about this place is the $2 uncharge to open a beer from the cooler onsite. Seriously bro, come one, we're already tipping 20-25% on the purchase of that $9 can, I think the bartender could open it no problem and not make it a $13-14 can of beer. This is the only bottle shop that I used to frequent that had a "cork fee" for opening beer purchased there cold. I eventually just started buying a couple to go instead of drinking them there to save the extra cost. Last bonus fact: They used to have a run club and I went a few times and was the slowest one. We ran behind Kohls in those neighborhoods. Then we'd all come over and drink the calories back on but the worst part was on run club night they served free brats with sauerkraut and mustard...so we really put back on the exercise effort.

They do have a pet friendly outdoor patio (with heaters). Nearly everyone there came outside to greet my dog and I. Since I couldn't go inside they watched my dog while I went inside to get a beer. The bartender was friendly and efficient. She even brought out a water bowl. Without tasting other options, I chose the pecan maple porter ($7). It was excellent. Smooth, flavorful, and strong albeit pricy (comparable to other breweries in the area). Definitely would order that again, although I do want to try their other options. Several people were sitting outside and welcomed any at their table and into their conversations. Inside, the brewery was hosting an open mic night. I would have liked to hear more of it, but the outdoor patio was peaceful. As the sun came down, they started the heaters/fire pits. Ample parking is available right out front. Nearby parking lots and street parking is also available. Overall, excellent experience here and I highly recommend this brewery to others!

The fish was burned and the batter had no flavor at all. Even doused with lots of malt vinegar, salt and pepper, it was still barely edible ( I ate the inside). If I hadn't been so hungry I would have sent it back, but I had not eaten all day and was hangry. In the picture you can see one showing the burnt side and I turned the other one over to check the other side. There was a kale slaw type salad that was just ok. Had lots of onion in it which I don't prefer. The fries were not good at all. Limp, no flavor. I only ate two and gave up. We went to Publix and got a frozen pizza and went home and cooked it. The place is nice, clean from what I saw and our waitress was wonderful. This would be a 3.5 only because of the great service.
