I really want to like this place. They have a decent selection of sweet treats. But the service…read morejust hasn't been good, and the treats have disappointed on taste. On May 26, 2024, it took forever to get a staff member to give us a sample or two of ice cream flavors. They seemed annoyed we wanted to try a flavor and wanted to rush us to order. The Butterfinger ice cream I ended up getting had a weird banana taste to it, the cone was stale, and I've felt funny since I ate it. We've tried baked goods too. They were okay but unspectacular. Some of the items, like cheesecake slices, are overpriced when compared to the same type selections at other dessert shops in our region. The space is big and includes an outdoor seating area, but none of it is that inviting. Sometimes there appear to be staff members' kids or siblings wandering around and laughing judgmentally and creepily. The whole vibe is just odd, and after a few visits the place just disappoints.

It was mostly empty when I went as it was an odd time of day but I could see it being very fun in the evenings. My coffee was delicious and fresh brewed.

The Buffalo flatbread had too much wing sauce that I took one bite and knew that I hated it. They don't really have a kitchen just a panini press and whatever to make the flatbread. The meatballs were extremely small, not enemy bigger than a dime size and were terrible. I really think that they were frozen meatballs. This place should not be serving food and charging outrageous prices. Save you money and go someplace else to grab a beer and something to eat!!

I try hard to skip the Green Siren people but the first two independent coffee shops we tried to…read morepatronize this morning were not open or no longer in business. Sad. This morning at 10:30, the place was quite busy with nearly every table holding up someone working on their laptop. Still, it was quiet enough for Mrs. K. and I to enjoy our coffees before getting back onto the road. I've finally figured out my order, a "tall blonde with a small splash of cream" and that worked out well today. Mrs. K. enjoyed her tall latte. The lemon cake was awful - too much sugar and the lemon tasted like fake lemon extract. I would not have that again. The parking lot was clean, the restaurant was clean, there was still some seating despite all the laptoppers. [Review 2260 of 2024 - 3846 in North Carolina - 23277 overall]

She's the only barista from Seattle to NYC and South that I've never had to take my drink back to, to tell them to remove the foam. Alexia and Tabitha were kind and helpful. I entered this place at 4:30 AM on a road trip and these women were already on 10-- energetic, warm, friendly and even greeted me upon walking in. They're a model Starbucks team across the multiple cities and small towns that I've visited for Starbucks-- to outperform even some of the service received at Reserve locations in NY and Seattle. A+++++ store.

They have a fair amount of wine to choose from when ordering. I wish I could remember each one I tried but those cups didn't stay full for long. The best part for me was the outside seating arrangements near the vineyard. It was laid out so neatly and once you sat down you felt so cozy near the open fire. They also have blankets available if you get cold. I can't wait to return during our next visit to North Carolina.

There were 8 (that I could find) on my visit - Great prices on both coffee and cat visits ($7 for 30 min, $10 for an hour) - Really nice staff and they enforce the rules. Don't pick up the cats! - The cats are treated so well. Tons of toys for them to play with - Location was easy to find and park. Note: they are about to move down the street. Check location before going CONS: - I did not take any cats home with me and I miss them all! Great spot. Try to go earlier in the day as the cats like to nap after a long day of pets and play. Give them your business!
