You can tell the quality of the drink and beans Omie's is high quality as soon as you taste it. I absolutely loved their fun and creative seasonal menu. I ordered the pumpkin pie brown butter latte, and it was so tasty. Normally, I have to ask coffee shops to reduce the sugar, but this drink was perfectly balanced. In addition, Omie's sells baked goods to complement your drink. There was a selection of tasty treats to pick from. One of my friends got a HUGE cookie, which looked absolutely delicious. As a fair heads up, parking and inside seating areas are limited. However, Omie's has done the most to maximize the space to make it a cozy place to sit. Pro tip- there is a little more seating to the left of the bathrooms, and there are several comfy spots interspersed throughout. Come for the good coffee, good vibes, and lovely service staff. I definitely know that I will be back!

The lighting is good, the music is at an appropriate volume, and the seating is comfortable (particularly in the back room). During the weekends and on holidays they can be quite full (particularly during the school year), but generally speaking I can usually find a seat here. Baristas are friendly and competent. They are well-staffed, and even when there is a long line things come out quickly! There is also free parking available in the parking garage around the corner, which is certainly a bonus. My go-to here is simply an iced americano or coffee, but their seasonal drinks are also delicious. Can't recommend enough!

It's time for "second coffee" and my office for the morning, landing at Foster Street at around…read more8:30 am. Parking wasn't easy since I can't fit into a parking deck but a metered space opened up and I was able to jam into there. Warmly welcomed and my cortado was ready before I'd even finished plugging in the laptop. Strong coffee that had a deep flavor and I'd already had breakfast so I was able to resist the pastries. An hour in, another cup of drip was all I needed while I did the Internet thing. Foster Street is conducive to laptop but it did get a bit loud in there with the talking, the music and the sound of the espresso machine. But if you can handle all of that, it's ideal. I stayed about two hours this morning. [Review 943 of 2025 - 4346 in North Carolina - 24498 overall]

They source their pastries from Ninth Street Bakery. We both enjoyed our iced coffees and pastries. The inside seating area is small with a funky, industrial feel. They have a large patio with outdoor seating that has a good amount of shade, so you won't roast in the summer sun. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of iced coffee with a friend. One quick note: finding parking in this area can be a little difficult and you may have to walk a little bit from where you park to the cafe.

Definitely consider their seasonal drinks menu. Last fall I had a really great spiced latte. Most recently I had their espresso tonic, which I'm afraid I can't recommend because it literally tasted like the barista poured a shot of espresso over flat seltzer water. I should have known something was off when I saw the drink color but I ended up not returning it. It must have been a mistake because it was undrinkable. I often stay at hotels in the vicinity and it's the most convenient coffee place for me, so I'm glad to support whenever I'm in town.

I enjoyed the sunshine hunter bagel and the e sunshine daydream smoothie. My smoothie was delicious and made fresh, but that bagel was everything!

It was a bit noisy inside, just because there were a lot of customers and everyone was talking. The store is clean and bright with a neat little riser on one side.
