“ Love stopping here when we’re traveling through. My favorite coffee shop with the best lattes. I love the high quality organic ingredients, everything is so clean and fresh! ”
“ The perfect place to chat with a friend or read/write. The music has been spot on, relaxing and not too loud. The environment is quiet for a coffee shop. I love the simplicity of the interior design. Plenty of seating. This place does get busy in the morning but it's worth waiting in line (or their drive through). Would 100% recommend their breakfast sandwichs/biscuits. The coffee is so smooth. My go to is the lavender matcha latte, but I'm also a huge fan of their chai tea lattes. Love coming here when I'm visiting this area of NC. Can't wait to come back! ”
“ Excellent coffee, pastries and sandwiches. Many gluten-free options. Try the triple berry baked oats, warmed. So good! They sell out of their baked goods quickly, often by 10am. ”
“ The raspberry scones are amazing, and if you like to taste coffee in your blended drinks then this place is the best! Absolutely recommend this place, it’s amazing! Currently their ice maker is broken so it took a little longer for our blended coffee, but they were really nice and informative about it. Still give them 5 stars because that’s only temporary! ”
“ First off, scones are incredible! Any flavor/ type is amazing. Seasonal changes/flavors are always a good choice. Latte’s are delicious, always great flavor if not a tad on the sweet side if ordering with flavor added. Service is always amazing. Come early as they run out quickly. Always worth the detour when heading up or down I26! Keep up the good work! ”
“ Really nice. Bright, airy and tasty baked goods, and sandwiches in a cooler for takeaway. ”
“ Absolutely love this little coffee shop. Friendly and fast service. All the syrups are housemade and roasted in house coffee is perfectly done. They have a refrigerator with milk, drinks, snacks and sandwiches that are perfect for on the go. Not far from the highway which is very convenient when traveling! ”
“ Beautiful space, open and airy, plenty of seating and work spaces. They also have a long table in the back that can seat 8 and a naturally well lit cozy leather armchair area that can seat 4. The coffee was good, roasted in house it seems. Baked goods also appear to be made on site. The espresso brownie (gluten free) was delicious and cakey while also fudgey. Highly recommend getting one! The blueberry scone was flaky and delicious as well. The latte was better than the iced coffee. But both were done well. Stop in! ”
