Good coffee and warm atmosphere. Interior is very small but well designed with a blend of modern, traditional and artistic touches (refer you to the bowler hat light fixtures!). We had a flight of coffees [macchiato, espresso, cortado, and americano]. Americano was cold : ( Espresso was very strong which I really like but may not be for everyone. Macchiato and cortado were good. Service was good. Store is clean and tidy.
Hands down the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. Flaky, buttery, just sweet enough and delicious! This was my first time going and I will definitely be back. And the woman who took my order, I assume was the owner, was so nice.
Excellent craft lattes. One of the best I've had. Creamy. They use real caramel. Outstanding craft coffee. Offers oat milk and milk alternatives.
We stopped in for some morning fuel. The location is clean and inviting. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We ordered one of the specials, the S'mores latte. It was delicious. The croissants were flaky and quite tasty. Overall I'd definitely recommend a stop in.
3.5 I never pass up a chance to get a lavender latte so I got one iced. It was okay. There was a subtle hint of lavender and the rest tasted a lot more like milk than coffee. What I liked more was the ambiance. It's a relatively small space with a lot of people coming in and out but I stayed a little bit to work. There are tables and high tops and the Wi-Fi was pretty strong. They also had outlets where I was sitting so it was great to just get some work done while I was waiting for a conference to start.
(4.5 stars) Named for a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference (and for local roaster Larry Larson), it is perhaps somewhat fitting that this gem of a coffee shop has become our annual post-GalaxyCon caffeinate-and-cool off destination. While it boasts a sleek modern ambiance and welcoming staff, the biggest draw can be summed up in two words: coffee flights. With options including nitro cold brews, draft lattes, and more, this is a great way to sample a bit of everything and still get your caffeine fix. They are my wife's go-to order while I usually opt for one of the seasonal drinks. The orange creamsicle I tried during our most recent visit isn't something I would repeat, but I do credit them for trying out a variety of syrups and flavors. There are plenty of coffee shops in Downtown Raleigh, but if you can abide by the limited seating, 42 and Lawrence offers all the strong coffee, inventive flavorings, and charm that you need.
A busy coffee shop in downtown Raleigh across from Moore Square. It took me about 30 minutes to take this picture of the counter since it was so busy. I ordered a hot mocha and it was creamy and sweet. I like the ambiance of the coffee shop, but beware, there is very little seating.
Great coffee shop downtown Raleigh and in a great location. Good amount of seating inside and some outdoor seating and lots of natural light coming in from the many windows to enjoy your drink and people watch. Overall a quiet place to get some work done or just hang out. They have a nice selection wines, coffees and teas here, so whatever you are in the mood for and the customer service is always very good.
Friendly staff, delicious tea and coffee, and decent prices! Great location too. The inside was quiet and clean. My peach tea was the perfect sweetness and so flavorful!
This is still my to-go spot for a nice cup of coffee or tea in downtown Raleigh. Seasonal menu always has something new, it's definitely my favorite part. I just tried iced strawberry matcha latte and I'm obsessed! Lovely non-sweet matcha flavor blends so well with strawberry sweetness, yum. Definitely would order it again!
In this week's edition of Coffee Shop Saturday's, I went to the very well known and highly acclaimed 42 & Lawrence, downtown Raleigh, and I'm so glad I finally did. I lucked up and found a parking spot right across the street on this rather hot 4th of July afternoon. I'm glad they were open and I missed the crowds due to the parade & other 4th festivities nearby. The two Baristas were so awesome, I had a great time chatting with them while I waited on my delicious hot Baklava Latte w/ oat milk. I saw their post about it on their IG page and knew I had to try it. They have so many options for coffee, cold brew, matcha, tea and more. They can also make your drink however you like it. But for me if something is on the menu, it's been perfected, so I'm going to try it. They have yummy looking pastries, I'll have to go back and try one of the many varieties of croissants! I sat in the cutest little corner nook looking out the window, it was perfect!! Again, I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally check them out, but I'm super glad I did. read more
Cute little spot. A few blocks from my hotel in the city center and around the corner from the convention center. The coffee was solid and they know how to steam oat milk well! I got a lavender mocha with oat milk. The only reason why I didn't give it. A five star is because I like my coffee. Just a little bit bolder. When you put in some mixing coffee sometimes goes away. I still had the essence of coffee which let me know that it's a nice medium roast. But I do prefer a dark and bold yet, smooth roast. The blueberry pot tart was OK. The pastry part was delicious, but the blueberry filling was a little dry. I love blueberries. So glad that that was the option. Trying a few other coffee spots while here, but I can see myself coming back this week! read more
I've been here a few times and it's always been a great experience. This last time I got a baklava latte and a cheese danish. Both were really tasty. The staff is always really friendly and patient. The atmosphere here is really relaxing and calming. I love to sit inside to cool down and have a few moments to myself. read more

Amazing coffee, the signature lattes and drinks are what sets this place apart. The Taj Mahal is one of the best drinks I have ever had. Great vibes on the inside, people both working and just hanging out. Staff is very friendly and know their stuff - every drink has been great. read more

The coziest little spot. Delicious hot chocolate & coffee. The perfect spot to relax, get some work done or read. I decided to explore downtown Raleigh & my friend recommended this spot. It did not disappoint. I spent hours here at peace reading a new book & sipping on drinks. read more

Had a hard time finding 42 and Lawrence but was pleasantly surprised once inside! Interior is modern and harsh looking with minimal seating, doesn't have the warm, cozy coffee shop vibe I usually seek which is why I docked one star. Also had free WiFi. Service was great, drinks were brought to our table and they even warmed up the cinnamon roll we ordered. Most importantly, the drinks and cinnamon roll were great! Americano was bold and flavorful. Seasonal autumn breeze latte had notes of gingerbread and cinnamon. The unexpected highlight was the cinnamon roll-- didn't look like a conventional cinnamon roll but tasted amazing heated up. read more
Yummy coffee shop in Raleigh!! I got their iced latte which had three shots of espresso with two pumps of caramel. It was ~4.75, which seemed like a pretty reasonable price to me. I also had a cinnamon roll warmed up and it was super tasty!! It was kind of flaky like a croissant and the glaze was very yummy. The service was great, definitely recommend!! read more

I overheard another customer after her order state this was the best Matcha she ever had. I never had a Matcha Latte but I had to give it a try after such a bold statement. Now I'm hooked. They are great! read more
I am so glad I made the trek here! I ordered their Chai iced latte, and it was one of the best i've ever had. The staff is super friendly, and it's also a pretty nice to study if you can find a spot because seating is very limited. This is going to be a pretty short review, but I spent around 4 hours here and I was very productive. It's brightly lit, and there is a lot of table space to spread out your things. I can't wait to come back and try their other drinks! It looks like they have a lot of specialty options. read more

A small coffee shop on the corner with lots of glass windows. On a clear day as it was today, it was bright and airy inside. Very pleasant. I had a quick cortado this morning. Cortado is half espresso and half warm milk. I like these way better than lattes or cappucino. It was delicious. Rich and full of good flavor. Perfect. 42 & Lawrence has a few tables but they do not have a wifi. I think that's on purpose. [Review 11619 overall, 1399 of 2019.] read more

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I enjoy visiting 42 & Lawrence because it's super pretty inside and they do offer non-coffee drinks for people like me. I stopped by to get some hot cocoa on a freakishly cold, windy day. It was a perfect pick-me-up to warm my hands and soul up. You can also add some whipped cream on your cocoa if you'd like to :) Because it's so delicious, I finished it within less than 10 minutes of getting it. That means I have to come back for more delish hot cocoa!! read more

I love 42 & Lawrence. It is small with limited seating but the coffee is good and it's downtown for those that like the city. You do have to pay for parking close by, which is a downside but an enjoyable spot to post up for a while. The workers were friendly and seemed to care about all that walked down the street. read more

Do they accept Apple Pay?
I am 95% sure that they do as I paid on their Square/Clover kiosk.
