    Love love love this craft coffee shop in downtown Raleigh. Excellent craft coffee, fantastic bagels, and great atmosphere. Upstairs dining area is killer. Staff is excellent as well.

    We came and here and they were very accommodating. We ordered a parfait for our baby and he’s under one so we asked them not to add the honey. The biscuit and omelet were fantastic and much larger than expected. The coffee and hot chocolate was the perfect temperature. I love that they steamed the milk for the hot chocolate and it wasn’t a powder mix with hot water. We can’t wait to visit again.

    We had the grits and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and the bread pudding, accompanied by a drip latte, and a latte with maple cinnamon syrup. Everything was amazing. The bread pudding was the best that I’ve ever had. There’s a lot of seating upstairs, and also outside. The food runners find your table quick wherever you’re sitting with the card they give you with a number on it. Quick service and it was very busy, but we only waited a few minutes for our food and beverages! The cashier seriously moved through orders of a 15 person line in 5 minutes. We will be back!

    This was my first time going here and let’s just say it did not disappoint. The coffee was good and so was the bagel sandwich I got! I went on a holiday, so it was super busy and didn’t even get to go upstairs to check out the seating section. But I found a cute cozy spot near the window on the first floor and enjoyed my breakfast! If you are looking for a meal and some coffee in Raleigh this is one of the best places :)
