This is one of the nicest surprises that I found in Garner! You might think that a coffee shop right by a food Lion in a shopping center might not be that good, but if you went to this location you would be completely wrong. The staff was so nice! The area to sit and eat your breakfast was the most comfy and relaxing at home feeling I have ever had in a coffee shop. The sandwich was made to order with fresh ingredients. The coffee beans were amazing and I don't even like coffee. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend! read more

Nice place. Deco is very nice. I stopped in for the very first time. Ordered a cappuccino. It came and was in an 8 ounce cup. $5.00. I asked for almond milk as I can't handle lactose. upcharge of .70. ????? So I think I won't be going back. read more

First time visiting this coffee shop inside the Timber Crossings shopping center. Very clean and relaxed vibe, lots of open space! Great for solo or group coffee time. The barista was so helpful and helped me narrow down my choice to an iced tiramisu latte and the avocado toast. The latte tasted like a hug in a cup and the avocado toast was bangin with the goat cheese!! Prices were reasonable and on par with other coffee shops IMO. I can't wait to come back and try more coffee and food items! read more

I was looking for a spot to drop into on Sundays because coffee shops can be finicky about opening on Sundays. Well, so is this one. I was halfway there, but pulled up Google Maps to fine tune and was thankfully told by the app not to waste my time as they were closed. So, I had to wait til Monday. Half good/half meh. It's in a strip mall with a grocery store, so parking was tough at 1pm. There is minimal outside seating - about 3 small tables. Not a lot of room inside either, but they use the space smartly nonetheless. Clean restroom and friendly enough service. However...the quad espresso was the greatest I've ever had. And I'm a coffee snob. It had a nice jolt that eased into its hit instead of striking immediately. But it was the taste that stuck with me. Absolutely delicious. Is it enough to make me revisit? Yes, it's totally enough for that. But not to become a regular. And definitely not on Sundays. Best, A. read more

First time here. I ordered a simple Bacon and Egg. Took about 8 minutes which was fine. I ordered it with ketchup. I had to ask for them to bring ketchup out. I also ordered a hot Earl gray tea. That came out after I was done with my sandwich. Not sure if it's a training issue or they are just understaffed but terrible service. Staff was nice tho. Maybe this was just a bad day for them. I'll go one more time and give them a chance to redeem themselves. Giving them a 2 for now. read more

The coffee shop is cute and nicely decorated. A nice place to get some work done and have a drink/treat. Beans are roasted in house and they also offer smoothies, teas and pastries( not made in house). My only caveat is there are no prices listed so if you are not a regular OR local patron like me, you have no idea how much anything costs. For some people it don't matter. I just like to know what I'm paying before I see the total. lol. It still didn't stop me from coming back another day during my visit from the west coast. The coffee is quality and nice and strong. Nice vibe and friendly employees. read more

Great coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries. The staff is incredibly nice and always provide quality service. Always decorated for the holidays and is always very clean. read more

We tried Muse for the first time this Saturday morning and it was so yummy! For a Saturday it wasn't too busy and there were plenty of seats. The inside is very cute and inviting! This would be a great spot to work from because they also have plenty of outlets. I got the Christmas in a Cup latte iced with oat milk and my husband got the cold brew with vanilla and salted cold foam. I highly recommend the Christmas in a Cup!! It's not too sweet but definitely gives Christmas drink. We also tried the glazed strawberry donut which was super fluffy and fresh! For breakfast we got the Genius and the Breakfast Burrito which were both so yummy! I wish I could buy their homemade salsa!! read more

I intended to spend my day with a NC junior working on Statistics so I got a large Red Eye. The young lady made it just Amazing!!! I mean, I sipped on it for a couple hours and every sip was scrumptious and accurate. By accurate I mean that it kept me focused and on! I also add that she was just wonderful as a person and representative of the establishment. Totally enjoyed my experience- cover to cover! I cannot remember her name but when I get it I will return to this review!!! read more

New to the area and found this place and wanted to check it out! I love finding small businesses to support! We came in, a bit of a line but nothing crazy. I take that as a good sign. We actually saw the owner! I only knew it was him because I checked out the website and read about he and his wife's story. He seemed very nice! Was walking around talking to patrons. Absolutely love seeing an owner interact with customers. I ordered the D-Fab iced and my boyfriend ordered The Nature Lovers hot and we both love our drinks. The place is super cute and has a cozy feel. The employees were all so nice and welcoming. You can tell they love their jobs. They also serve food as well. We will most definitely be back! read more

Cool little coffee shop we hit up before leaving town. We chose them because they have been there since 2007 or something crazy. Handmade doughnuts the size of your fist, amazing breakfast burrito, and an excellent pour over option - and REAL mugs - lost art these days. We were still talking about the burrito the next day! Self service type of spot, staff was knowledgeable and friendly, seemed as if we were on to something - the place was packed by the time we were leaving. read more

Great customer service. Purchased a bag of chocolate cherry beans. Loved did I say loved this shop . I think I will go stop in today.

Went here a few months ago to buy some coffee beans. I loved the vibe of the place and the decoration. The staff were also very nice! I also got a free coffee along with the coffee beans I bought, the coffee beans were great! I would totally recommend this place! read more

My bestie & I were looking for some local coffee spots to try. We tried The Muse maybe 3/4yrs ago at this point. We always forget they're there because they're a little hidden with the Food Lion traffic. But when we remember it's there, how close it is & how much we love it - we're on the way! The space is really nice, they just recently moved some stuff around & added tables. They have a cute little counter by the window too. Their seasonal coffees are SO good. We each get a different one so we can try 2 at a time, LOL! We absolutely love this place & will never stop coming here for a caffeine fix! read more

I love going to The Muse! I am enjoying their seasonal salty waves latte so much. I love that they have gluten free bread so I can enjoy a tasty sandwich. Ive enjoyed the genius sandwich and the BLT so far. The atmosphere is so laid back and I love hanging out there. The staff is also kind and welcoming. read more

Came in yesterday to try the breakfast burrito and it was so good I had to come back today. :-) It's actually pressed and amazing. Super happy. Almond Cortado also was so good. I had to get a second :-) The only thing I dislike is the music. There are not very many 85-year-old people who come out for five dollar coffee. I think the music could be bumped up a little to say maybe 60s or 70s music. But to each his own. The music is mostly Beatle baily jazz style. Most of it sounds the same and repeating. read more

This is a very cute coffee spot. I did like the ambiance and I feel like this would be a perfect place to get away from a work from home environment. I ordered the bagel with cream cheese and a cup of coffee to go. The bagel was a defrosted frozen bagel. I was not happy at all. I was looking forward to an authentic bagel but it was literally a Lender's bagel. The coffee was ok. read more

The regular dark roast coffee I ordered was very good in taste but I was told it would be 6-8 minutes to brew and after 13 minutes I had to ask the baristas where my coffee was. Several other customers had been delivered their coffee I was told mine had been in the bar( it wasn't the 3 times I checked). Wish I could take back the tip I left in the tip jar right after I ordered. read more

The girls were busting butt today!! This place is busy, but quick. I love coming here. Love the food and the space. Shout out to the new girl for holdin it together during the rush. What a great team. YGGs (: read more

Excellent spot, highly reccomend their breakfast burrito. Perfect location and clean facility inside.

I absolutely love this place and I have never even been! I was looking for a good breakfast delivery place and this place hits the spot every time! I cannot wait to actually go to Muse and try it in person though. I usually order 1-2 times a week via DoorDash and everything we have had has been amazing! I got to speak to the owner, Brian, this morning and he was so kind. I called to ensure my coffee would be decaf. Before he mentioned he was the owner, I told him how much I love the food and how they are so on top everything. He was so appreciative and kind! On to the food! We have tried the Goat Cheese Avocado Toast with Pepper Jelly, Black Bean Burrito, The Brit English Muffin, The Mocha, and the D-Fab Latte. All of these things are delicious. The Avocado Toast is always fresh and one of the best I have tried. The combination of the Pepper Jelly & Goat Cheese really makes it stand out. The Black Bean Burrito comes with Bacon, Egg, Cheese, and Black Beans. They never forget to add avocado, take the cheese out for us, or provide a bunch of their yummy salsa on the side when I ask for extra. The Brit is a fluffy, locally sourced English Muffin served with honey butter or jam - be sure to get both! So good! I always get the D-Fab Latte and it's always made perfectly. I get it iced and with Oat Milk - highly recommend if you like a sweet but not too sweet drink. I definitely recommend this spot - give it a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

Fantastic place to go for coffee and early morning bagel breakfast Several types of coffee and specialty coffees, hot chai and teas Love the vibe and will be back soon read more

All time favorite coffee shop! I went to college in Lynchburg, Virginia, which is where the OG Muse is! So happy to speak with the owner at my last visit and so very happy that The Muse is in Garner! Amazing breakfast, lunch, and bakery items! Delicious and creative coffees. Fantastic customer service and fair prices! Don't waste your money at Starbucks when you've got The Muse in your neighborhood Fan favorites (from someone who had Muse everyday for 4 years whilst in college) Drinks - Chai Latte (spicy and with oat milk) - Mama Drama (for a nutty but not sweet coffee) - Christmas in a Cup (for a rainy day any month of the year) Breakfast - Breakfast burrito (this burrito got me through exams, hangovers, and applying for graduate school) - Genius (on a croissant or ask for it on a bagel) Lunch - Daydream (I still daydream about the daydream 7 years later) Don't miss out on great, local, thoughtfully made coffee read more

I was greeted by a friendly staff and I told her it was my first time here. I also told her I have bad eye sight and had trouble seeing the lunch menu so she told me what they had. I got the "to be or not to be" on multi-grain. For a drink, the Christmas in a cup but iced. My drink came first and as I was waiting I noticed I drank my iced coffee FAST... like guzzled it. So...yeaaaaa, I liked it ahhlot. I was debating weather I should get another one but I stayed strong and decided not to. BUT next time 20oz for sure!! Got my sandwich to go. Went home and had my late lunch. I am not into veggie sandwiches because in the past they were bland but this one was so good and full of flavor! No need to add salt or pepper... it was perfect. Definitely going back!!! read more

2:30/3pm on a Thursday. Food 3.5 stars. Good avocado toast. Oatmilk steamer was just ok. Could not taste chocolate nor caramel. Service was cold. We are one of two patrons bit they insistedon sweeping by our table while we ate and that was off putting. read more

One of the coolest places in NC. Great staff, food, coffee and music. The cranberry scones are

Loved the food and the coffee of course! Staff is always so sweet. I've been a few times at this point and it's been great each time!

Not sure where my last review went.. they must pay to have their bad reviews removed! This place used to be a favorite of mine but every time I order they take forever and so I've used door dash instead hoping it would be ready faster.. wrong! I showed up and they hadn't even looked at it or confirmed it. No one was there behind me when I asked for it but then several people came in after me and they were served first. The girl making drinks started to make mine and another girl, who I assume was the mod, told her "walks ins are the priority"Regardless of the fact they were already 30 minutes after my order was placed and 10 minutes past the pick up time. I also heard the mod say she wasn't going to confirm anymore door dash orders right now. I'm sorry.. bad business. Where is Brian? This location was much better when he was around. The current staff don't care and are rude! Really sucks! read more

Questionable management - if you are thinking of working there. My son applied and was invited for an interview. After waiting 30 mins for the woman who was performing an interview at the time, she got up at the completion and went inside the store. My son followed her in to inquire, and she said they were too busy now and to send them an email. He did - no response. If you took the time to be there for an interview, common courtesy would dictate the interviewer should make some time to see you. Even if they made a decision on who to hire. Extremely unprofessional. read more

Muse is by far the best coffee shop in Garner, NC. The staff is amazing. They are friendly, patient, loving and kind. They make sure every customer is satisfied and don't mind giving you a new coffee or food item, if customer is not satisfied. Celeste is the Manager and it's hard to find managers like her. She truly represents the business well. The owners make sure the atmosphere is cozy, friendly and the coffee is great. The coffee beans are roasted freshly right there in the shop. Mr. Josh is a great roaster. Thank you Muse!! read more

Hi I had a chai tea lattie and a genius on gluten free bread. I was not satisfied with the sandwich that I received because it tasted like the eggs were powdered eggs and they were very good and also the latte was very sweet I have had better the place is small and the seats except for the windows were taken, I just felt crowded, I did sit for a while at the window for an hour read more

I randomly came up on this coffee spot and decided to try it. I'm so glad I did. Their coffee was crazy good and reasonably priced. You get a lot of bang for your buck. I'm definitely going to go back for a sit down meal at some point. read more

My husband and I spent a few hours exploring real estate in Garner. After all that, I was exhausted and in need of a pick me up. I stopped by Muse, and I'm so glad i did. I got the Christmas in a Cup, and it was delicious. I could taste every flavor note. The owner also gave me an oatmeal cookie on the house, which was honestly one of the best oatmeal cookies I've had. The spice mix in the batter was so good. I will definitely be back read more

I love this place. Coffee is excellent and their wide range of whole beans to go allows me to enjoy a lot of variety at home.

The Muse is the place to go for a great cup a joe! Very relaxed atmosphere and cool vibe. The lady behind the counter made good suggestions. The coffee was off the chain good and the chicken salad? Let me tell you about the chicken salad. Delicious! If you like dill, and I do, you will love it. Best evaaaa. read more

This place is amazing. I had been wanting to try it for weeks now but was honestly blown away when I received my order. SO DELICIOUS.

Slow service and frozen drink not blended well. Wasn't sweet enough for me. Didn't finish the drink.

I have been here once. It is fairly small inside and does not have the typical "coffee shop feel". The coffee was a little weaker than I prefer. The barista was very nice, but there was quite a line at certain points in the morning. read more

Avocado toast is delicious!! It's so different from any I've had before. Staff is always very transparent about gluten allergy details which I found super helpful. read more
