    Double Espresso with equal amount of steamed almond milk, one Splenda!

    We enjoyed the food, tea and coffee! Nice place to stop in for a snack or lunch ....sandwiches, etc. the question is will we go back again, Yes definitely.

    Coffee was delicious and nice relaxing atmosphere to have a chat with my family! Will return in the future. Staff is very friendly.

    Second visit from out of town. Friendly staff explained the menu well for me and gave me a recommendation to try the Turkey Rueben panini. I also got a caramel latte and it's smooth and deep, not sour, burnt or too sweet. Husband got the Turkey Cheddar Apple panini with ice tea. I like the bar seats next to the windows especially it's really nice out today. I'd imagine you definitely can get some work done here ; outlets are available under the high tables. There's a kids corner on the other side of the main lobby for them if you need. Will come back for my coffee cravings when I'm in town :)

    This is a quaint little coffee shop tucked away in downtown Rocky Mount. I found this place by accident and so glad I did. I needed a coffee shop to do some remote work. The coffee is pretty good and the service even better. Their Wi-Fi is pretty good for the area. My in laws Wi-Fi, who live nearby, is horrible. So thankful that theirs was good.

    Kind of meh, both the aesthetics of the place and the taste of the coffee. We were greeted nicely enough and served our coffees, a cappuccino and an espresso, quickly. The price was right. But, again, everything was just kind of meh.

    Great location and super coffee! Staff is friendly, clean and welcoming dining room. Limited on street parking nearby but plenty of parking just a short walk away. Love this place.

    We stopped here on their first Saturday morning open and loved it! We hit the farmers market and then stopped by for a coffee and iced coffee. Service was fabulous, the atmosphere was quaint, and the coffee was tasty. A great place to stop!

    Walnut Apple Salad

    This salad was perfect. I got the curry chicken salad on top and what a combination! Can't wait to come back

    Me and 4 other people were in there Saturday around 3/4 ish. We walked in and a young woman working…read morethere, she had blonde braided hair, I think her name was Kennedy. Anyways she stared straight through us as we walked in in amaze and I said hello how are you and she ignored me and said how many? I said 3 because two of us ate less than an hour or two ago. She asked what bread and one of us says Italian and she gives us all three white bread. The person saying Italian was cut off by her when he was trying to say Italian herbs and cheese... instead he got cut off by her saying okay white. Us three start ordering what is on our subs and everytime any of us spoke she immediately spoke in the middle of our sentence and said okay what's next. She was very rude and acted like it was so horrible for her to do her job she gets paid to do. It's actually very sad because I go into subway a lot and her rudeness might of made me just never come back again. If you don't know how to be nice then you don't need to be in customer service. It was not only that one singular time either because I had friends who came in earlier that day and said she was the exact same way: slamming the bread down, not letting customers speak before she would ask what's next, overall she was very rude and that is the only time anyone has ever been rude to me at subway!

    This is a very funny and sad case of extremely poor customer service…read more I ordered a 6" BMT, and noticed they had two different containers/bottles of sweet onion sauces. One had Sweet Onion typed on the top of the bottle, while the other Sweet Onion Teriyaki. I politely asked the blond lady making the sandwich, if the Sweet Onion was just Sweet Onion and no Teriyaki...she clearly said yes. So I requested the Sweet Onion sauce on my BMT...it came out dark brown, and I politely enquired that the Sweet Onion sauce is a light translucent brown, not dark brown. They seemed confused. When I tasted the sandwich...it was Sweet Onion Teriyaki sauce...yuck on a BMT, due to the teriyaki. So I politely went back to the counter and indicated the Sweet Onion sauce had Teriyaki in it. They acted very aggressively toward me...would not let me talk, constantly raised their voices as I asked if I could finish my point...they instead said I can leave or they will call the Police. I politely said, please do call the Police, so they can see there are two different typed Sweet Onion sauces in their prep area...they did not call...and they would not replace the sandwich nor offered a refund. Unbelievable experience regarding Sweet Onion sauce. For Everybody's information, Subway used to have just a Sweet Onion sauce with no Teriyaki. It was my go to sauce on the BMT. About 4-5 years ago Subway replaced the Sweet Onion sauce with Sweet Onion Teriyaki...again not good on a BMT. So, one can deduce my excitement when I saw the has just Sweet Onion sauce. The blonde lady did mention at one point (while interrupting me) that the sometimes run out of the typed caps of the Sweet Onion Teriyaki...and use the Sweet Onion marked caps...geez...why didn't she say that about 10 minutes ago...when I asked about the Teriyaki. Also, the vegetables in the bin used to make sandwiches had brownish lettuce, not very appetizing. I hope Subway management sees this review and puts some training resources towards this location. One should not be threatened by Subway workers to call the Police because they were not on the ball with their ingredients...shame on this location for this type of atrocious behavior towards long time (40 years), customers.
