Soy vanilla latte, ham & cheese croissant on this fine day $8.97
Nicole F.

Note: This review is for the cafe portion. Love love LOVE this place. This place is EXACTLY what Elon was missing. If you've read my previous reviews, I always said this school was missing a good coffee & tea joint to study at. The establishment is broken into two sections. The left side has shorter tables and couches with a more lounge feel- this is the cafe area. The right side is the bar area with higher bar-height tables. But during the day, students can be found studying on both sides. Music is typical coffee house music. A mix of American rock, grass roots, indie music. This place just opened a few months ago and seems to already be popular. I got a small latte $2.90. Pretty reasonably priced..cheaper than the Acorn a few doors down. I'm sad that I have already graduated and won't be able to make this my regular go to study spot. But I'm sure this place will do just fine! Great selection of locally baked goods. I forsee them having more food options in the future. If you stop in, introduce yourself to the owner, Phil. He is the mastermind behind all of this. So thankful he brought this establishment to campus. It is a perfect fit for Elon: classy, chic, simple, with a splash of hipster. P.S. Free internet. Reception isn't amazing, but I use my Elon login out here.

Caramel macchiato and bacon cheddar scone
Eva R.

A cute coffee shop located right on Elon's campus. It is partly a coffee shop but also a bar on the other side. I came one morning and had a caramel machiatto and scone. The scone was warmed up and delicous. The caramel machiatto was perfect, just the right amount of sweetness. A great place to get some work done or catch up with friends.

Toasty was the first stop in my friend and I'd beer road trip for the day. I'd never been to…read moreGibsonville before but was excited to see the giant model train set that's prominently featured in the middle of town (Known as the Gibsonville Garden RR - look for details online for when it operates). This would make for a fun outing with the kids as there is also a red caboose stationed in town as well. They certainly embrace their railroad history. On to what you're probably looking for, a review of the brewery. There is street parking available and a good number of spots. Not sure if it's free or not during the week. We arrived right at 12, so there were only three people there. The interior is mostly white, but they either chiseled away or put drywall up to expose brick. My friend and I both ordered the Wexford Red Irish ale. It was your typical amber beer. You could choose from several IPAs or other dark beers. Overall, nothing too memorable but a nice spot to stop by when you have time.

The first time I came here there was no Yelp Page so I had to add a page for their business. This…read morebrewery hasn't been open very long and I've passed by this place several times. The staff is very friendly here and allows you to sample whatever beer you'd like before you make a choice. I love supporting local businesses and breweries. I've only had 2 of their beers but today that's gonna change! I will follow up with another update to this review shortly! Update: Beers I've had 1. Doppnator 2. Wee Bit Export 3. Gateway of India, IPA 4. Industrious Porter 5. Warrior Knight 6. Alt Refresh 7. Calibrator 8. Retro BSA So far all of these beers are great except the British Strong Ale which may not be my cup of tea and the industrious Porter. However, the porter tasted good I just couldn't drink a full glass. It's a heavy beer but that's expected with porters.

Love coming out here when the weather is nice and I'll bring my dog to steal all the attention too…read morelol that's how handsome he is fr. GREAT Hot dog with that authentic Dijon mustard and cold clean beer. What more could you ask for. Good vibes always, nothing sketchy iykyk

This review is really a 3.5 star rounded up. It's been 8 years since my last visit to Whitsett and…read morethe Red Oak Lagerhaus and Biergarten and I was excited to return. This visit was prompted by the recent opening of the Wursthaus that is serving up food consistently in addition to the food truck that is often on property. The inside of the lagerhaus is as lovely as I remember. I got a 6 beer flight so I could sample most of their delicious beers. There was steady business but it didn't feel too busy/full inside. Some people were opting to be outside at the fire pits. Not me. We stepped out to the Wursthaus to get lunch. The menu is pretty limited: Brat, Brat bites (cut up with no bun), frankfurter, and pretzel. Not sure if there is a launch menu or if this will be permanent. I got the hot dog with onions and I requested the mustard (that you "HAVE TO REQUEST" per the sign). It was fine. The mustard wasn't included so I had to return to the wursthaus window to get it. The bun was soft and the frankfurter a good size, overhanging the bun. The limited topping options and the DIY nature of the mustard was a little disappointing. My biggest gripe with this place is it feels like going to my grandparents house: there are so many rules. Don't back into parking spaces No kids Don't step on the grates Open door slowly No outside food And maybe there were more. Just feels really uptight for a nice space that probably should feel more relaxed. :shrug Still, I'll return for beer in the future.
