Absolutely delicious, I could have eating ten! Pro-tip pull the top "muffin" part off and dip it into the gravy filling inside. I also got two macaroons, the lemon Poppyseed and the Violet Greek Yogurt. The lemon one was sweet and tart and the violet one had almost like a floral taste both were great! And to drink I got a chai latte with oat milk, super strong chai taste and not too sweet. Super quick and friendly service. There's plenty of seating, WiFi and outlets available. Perfect for knocking out some work.

This spot is located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, so parking is mostly going to be street parking and there are a few parking decks nearby. I ended up getting their version of an affogato with vanilla bean ice cream. It was delightful! You really can't go wrong with an affogato. They were quite busy for a Monday night and so it took a little bit to get our ice cream but there is seating inside and outside of the shop, so you can relax while you wait.

For his 4th birthday she made him train macaros and my son said they were so beautiful he didn't want to eat them. We seriously had to convince him to eat them and not just play with them or else they'd go bad. We also recently bought her Thanksgiving macaron box which did not disappoint either. I think my favorite flavors are the brown butter and mexican vanilla with jam. Although I seriously haven't met a flavor I didn't enjoy.

The macarons at amitie are available in a wide variety of flavors to suit any palette and make for the perfect sweet treat while last minute shopping for Christmas gifts. My favorite flavors were: - -the cinnamon brown butter: reminded me of a fresh cinnamon bun. I'll be picking up a 6ct box of this flavor next time. - -cookies and cream: you could tell that the creamy filling was made with bits of chocolate cookie pieces - -pumpkin spice: call me "basic" but I still love pumpkin spice lattes, pastries, and beers even in December.

While they were good, one of the salted caramels was very salty and the rest were overly sweet for us (compared to other macarons we have had). There was no social distancing enforced and we did the best we could considering the location. The employee was wearing a mask and gloves, however the gloves were not changed out between handling the macarons and the point of service. Overall it was just an okay experience and probably wouldn't return to this location but might try the location at Morgan Street Food Hall.

Although it's located in downtown Raleigh, it was easy to find and get to from the interstate. Parking was easy, with a paid public lot conveniently located up the block behind the building. Inside, the food hall had a lively atmosphere with dozens of vendors offering a wide variety of cuisines, making it easy for everyone in our group to find something they wanted. Despite the number of people, none of the lines were particularly long. There was plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating, so finding a place to eat wasn't difficult. I also appreciated that they provided a self-serve water station with ice-cold water and cups for anyone who didn't want to purchase a drink from one of the vendors. There was also a proper bar with both a bartender and barstool seating if you wanted to pull up a stool and enjoy a beverage. The entire facility was clean and well maintained, including the restrooms, which were well stocked during our visit. The outdoor patio was especially nice, with a mix of shaded and sunny seating areas. While we were there, a local dog rescue was hosting an adoption event where visitors could meet puppies. It was fun to see families, kids, and adults enjoying the event, and the dog-friendly patio made the atmosphere even more welcoming. If you're visiting Raleigh with a group or simply can't decide what you're in the mood to eat, Morgan Street Food Hall is an excellent option thanks to its variety, clean facilities, and inviting atmosphere.

The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the staff was pleasant from the moment we walked in. Even during breakfast hours, there wasn't a long wait. The shop itself is beautiful. There's an antique cash register near the counter that adds so much character, and I love that the menus are handwritten. Their merchandise is really cute, and they also make gourmet marshmallows. Everything in the case looks and tastes gourmet and made from scratch. They even offer wedding cakes. My total for breakfast for myself and coworker came to $18, which I found very reasonable. The iced Americano was strong in the best way. You can actually taste the espresso, and it didn't taste watered down or cheap at all. The only downside is that they don't serve whipped cream for iced coffee. The almond croissant was perfect. Sweet and buttery on the inside, crunchy on the outside with that lightly crisp, sugary layer that gives i texture. It was balanced and done just right. Overall, a solid breakfast spot with quality pastries and great pricing. I'd definitely stop in again.

I also loved a good iced oatmeal cookie growing up but again this was the adult, sophisticated version, chewy, moist, just perfect!
