    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.

You'll see a large parking lot and start to ask yourself what all this church stuff has to do with coffee. Or, for that matter, all the sports and activity resources. Well, they don't. Serenity is a coffee-getting SPACE inside a SPACE that offers all kinds of other things within its SPACE, like a game room, among others. Calling it a "coffee shop" is going too far. But very convenient if you're craving caffeine and don't feel like driving out of your way to reach Ugly Mug or deal with the maddening weekend conditions at Cultivate. (Speaking of which, they use Cultivate beans here. So that's a win.) It's charmless, tucked inside an echo-laden, hall of many shades of gray and not a window in sight. Huge and accommodating, with work tables rocking multiple outlets per person (!), there are good things to say, for sure. Like the barista with the kind demeanor. The churchy feel is pretty overwhelming. If you're not into that or have a problem with it, think again? Idk, it's obvious that the coffee aspect rings as an afterthought, what with everything else going on. If you're looking for a coffee house situation, you won't find it here. But if you want an uber-quiet, enormously spacious, wholly uninteresting place to work, give Serenity Brews a shot. Fair warning, though - the wifi is paltry, so don't bring any demanding work.

For real, if you can't give an organization that only exists to help helpless animals, then you are a garbage human being. First off, cats! I mean, who doesn't love natures best killing machine. It's like evolution took all the great qualities of a killer, a predator, gave it amazing agility and balance, stealth, knives for fingers and then said, lets make you tiny and cute so humans can pick you up and snuggle a death machine. This place is super small and their parking lot holds like 5 cars. If it's full just park across the street at the recreation center and walk the nice path over to the cat cafe. Be sure to pray before you cross 401 because you'll need the extra help with all of these imported Yankee drivers. Inside most of the space is dedicated to cats, big surprise right??? There is a small bar with a counter to make your order. Maybe 2 tables and then a bench with a glowing neon sign meant for taking photos for the gram. There are a few small tables outside and around to the front of the building. You need to make reservations to see the kitties. It's about $10 per person weekdays and $12 on the weekend for a 45 minute session. You may take your drinks in and the kitties may try to get a sip if you have something delicious. Socks are required, if you don't have any they do sell some for $4-5 a pair. There are 8-10 spots available depending on the time of day. So if you book five spots for your family, you may be mixed in with 5 other individuals. There is plenty of room and this isn't an issue but you can book the entire room for the hour for $110. Remember, all of this money goes to support taking care of the cats including food and really expensive vet care. Finally, you came here for cats right, not really for drinks...but the drinks are really good. We usually get boba. They have very limited options not a full menu like you'd find at Bep or other boba dedicated cafés. Like I love jasmine and they don't have it here. But I usually just get taro and it's fine. Their Thai iced tea with boba is pretty good. You can adjust the sweetness and the amount of ice so I usually get light ice and 25% sweet to save a few calories. They have coffee, chai, hot chocolate, tea and a few other items. Enjoy a drink and help some kitties!

You start by making a reservation for the cat room ahead of time. Make sure you bring socks because you will have to leave your shoes in a cubby once you enter.

They have coffee, teas and boba drinks - I had a watermelon fruit tea and it was way too sweet for me - I wish I had got a coffee instead but live and learn. The staff are super friendly and everyone else enjoyed their drinks. When you are ready, you get a little briefing then they let you into the cat room. The cats are all up for adoption and this place gives them a chance to get a little socialization before they find their new homes. When we were there they had about a dozen hanging around in different spots. There are plenty of places to sit and toys you can use to play with the cats if you want. The time flew by and I was sad to leave, but happy I got a cat fix in. There are lots of cute gifts to buy for your favorite cat lover.
