I was in the area and decided to finally go to Brew, as I rarely am in downtown Cary! I'm so glad I…read moredid. It took some time to find parking as the surrounding parking lots were full, but I found street parking around the corner. The ambiance is warm and cozy. Brew and the Cary Theater share common space, so you can enter from either entrance. The service is awesome, I was waited on right away and the barista was helpful with suggestions. I ordered a cookie butter latte and an oatmeal raisin cookie w/ walnuts. Both were absolutely delicious, a great combo. When I finished my latte, I dipped my cookie in the cup to get the last of the foam...so good. The baked goods are from Ninth Street Bakery in Durham. How amazing local supporting local. I sat at the bar area. I loved that there were hooks underneath for your belongings, you don't see that everywhere. They have the high top areas, along with a few tables and chairs. I'm so glad I was able to finally experience Brew, looking forward to going back.

Came for a Sunday stop with a friend…read more Just a note because it's in the downtown area it's extremely hard to find parking and most of it is street parking (with some construction nearby). Overall, the little coffee shop is cute and has a little bit of outdoor seating which I liked but is expensive for being so mid in my opinion. I ended up paying almost $7 for a blueberry latte. Overall, my latte tasted like a regular latte, even though it did have a seasonal blueberry syrup added to it. I know that blueberry is very light in flavor compared to coffee so I asked for more than the allotted amount of syrup and their response was that they had a certain amount added to of syrups added. So I said ok thinking they would take that into consideration but when I got my coffee, guess the amount they added didn't matter because it tasted the same as a latte regular. Unfortunately, at the end of my coffee (like the last 20%) had what I assume to be bits of berry in it? The texture made me toss the remaining amount. With the high prices and the location right on a busy street / no parking I probably wouldn't be back but I did enjoy being about to sit outside under an umbrella and the service was nice / fast. All the stars would go to the servers and overall cleanliness honestly.

Who doesn't enjoy visiting a local cafe while supporting a great cause?…read more Esteamed coffee is a non-profit coffee shop in downtown Cary. They provide meaningful jobs and social opportunities for adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. The cafe sells coffee, tea, pastries, and locally crafted gifts. They have seasonal offerings, nearby parking, restrooms, and indoor and outdoor seating. Leashed dogs are allowed on the outdoor patio. We visited on a weekend morning. The cottage was bright, welcoming, and bustling. As we waited in line, an employee greeted us, presented the menu, and answered our questions. The walls around us were adorned in beautiful paintings. The line moved at a steady rate and soon we were enjoying our drinks and pastries at an indoor table. Overall, we had a positive experience here and recommend this cafe to others!

The vegetables were crisp, the chicken was perfectly cooked, and the spicy ranch dressing tied everything together with just the right amount of kick. I also enjoyed a delicious coffee (and my fiancé had a regular hot coffee) which made for the perfect lunch pairing. The café has a welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, and quality food that goes beyond just coffee. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. If you're looking for a fresh, satisfying lunch in Cary, this is a great spot!

The pastry case is a showstopper: berry-topped croissants with fresh whipped cream, fruit danishes, ube buns, almond twists, and savory options like the garlic-herb bun and hot dog danish. I came for the bakery but stayed for the drink menu, which is huge -- milk teas, fruit teas, yogurt smoothies, sparkling teas, and a full coffee lineup. One heads-up: the Coffee Crush ($4.95) is essentially just Dalgona coffee -- that whipped instant-coffee-over-milk drink that went viral a few years back. It's tasty, but know that you're paying café prices for something you can whip up at home with three ingredients. Would've loved a little more transparency on the menu there. Pastries are fresh (seemingly), drinks are solid, and the space is genuinely lovely for sitting a while. Worth a visit -- just go in knowing what the Coffee Crush actually is.

The selection of…read moredrinks is impressive, and everything tasted fresh and well-balanced without being overly sweet. The boba had the perfect chewy texture, and the pastries looked just as good as they tasted. It's one of those places where it's hard to leave with just one item. The atmosphere is bright, clean, and inviting, making it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quick treat. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially when deciding between the many drink and pastry options. Overall, Brecotea offers a consistently enjoyable experience, and it's definitely a place I'll keep coming back to.

Vietnamese Sub…read more Venue: medium sized place for sub/sandwich place. It's order - pay and you can seat yourself place. Food: tried Paris bahn mi in Orlando and decided to try here as well. Ordered grilled pork bahn mi and Thai green tea. My honest opinion, I've had better and worse. The meat portion inside the sub is good. However it is lacking in flavor within the meat marinate or the sauce inside the sub. So far the banh mi from pho Thien phat has the best bahn mi in Cary in my opinion. The Thai tea lacked in sugar and very strong tea. I typically order less sugar at boba shops but I did not here just wanting to taste the original flavor of the house, I was not impressed. Service: you order, pay and pick up your food. The lady from the kitchen brought the hot subs out for us which I thought it was very kind. Price: well- the price of food has two versions: cash price and credit card price. Sigh...

You can get bubble tea, cookies, cakes, floats, rolled cream, etc. There is something for everyone here. What I love most about this place: They use in-house ice cream base with organic milk, where lots of places just use powder. Toppings are unlimited - what a refresher, because so many other places nickel and dime you. For that reason, anytime I see a Milk Lab, I know what I'm getting since they are true to their standards.
