Honey lavender latte
Hayley P.

Cute coffee kiosk located in Morgan Street Food Hall. I went on a Thursday morning so there was no line. The staff were so polite and kind. I ordered the Purr Purr latte, which is honey and lavender , and the BEC on plain bagel. The latte was so good. Just enough of both flavors. The bagel was delicious but phew ‍ she greasy. Only thing I would say is I wish the egg or bagel sandwich had some seasoning to it. Otherwise, great little spot and I will def return.

Nice size crepe, egg & cheese & bacon crepe

My first visit the food and coffee were great! (Pics attached were from the first visit). I got the egg and bacon crepe with a little honey drizzle! (Don't forget the honey drizzle you will thank me later!) Ha. I think this visit I got the white chocolate raspberry? Everything was delicious and amazing. Second visit was a different crew than the first and my crepe (same crepe) was smaller and just not hitting the same caliber...not sure what happened. The coffee was a little off this time too less flavorful. This time I got the butter rum (i think that's what it's call). Either way, maybe one more try this time getting a sweet crepe...or both...would be awesome if they had a half half order sweet and savory! Then I could try both. I'll update my review after one more try lol. First visit was a 5, second was a 3 so we will average it out and give 4 stars!

Look at this adorable coffee stand @badcatcoffeecompany inside @morganstreetfoodhall where you can get all of your catnip, treats, and sweet drinks for yourself and your kitties. We got the hot and the iced oat lattes. They are very tasty pick me ups whenever we visit in Raleigh.

I had an Offline Raleigh perk to use here and stopped by early on a Thursday morning. I got lucky and found a curbside spot across the street. I saw different hours in two places for when they opened so I wasn't sure if I'd have any luck. The employee saw me looking into the food hall and let me in while she finished setting up. Drink: I ordered an iced coconut latte with almond milk. Unfortunately, it had an almost oily taste and feel. I'm not sure if it was the milk or syrup. Not the best. Food: Everything bagel with bacon and cheese. This was the best part! Warm and gooey. I gave them a 3 because of the drink but would definitely try it again and choose something else.

Coffee, yes please. When I saw that the lady was making fresh crepes, I mentioned that I was doing a keto diet and would need to decline, she offered to make me something special and keto compliant. Yes, please! Meanwhile, the coffee was excellent. I don't know what she's brewing here but it was definitely not the usual donut store stuff. This was delicious and thick and tasty. A few sips in, my breakfast was ready. Two scrambled eggs with perfect crispy bacon. Amazing and perfectly compliant on a keto diet. Thank you, ma'am! It was excellent!

Parking 5 Customer service 5 I love the coffee is always perfect. If you have a taste for a cream soda, ice coffee, and the best hot coffees around. I love the amazing customer service and how welcoming Traci and her employees are when you visit. This is a must stop! Also from time to time, Santa is having a cup of coffee there too.

Great spot! Fast friendly service! Delicious made to order breakfast! Great fresh brewed coffee

The woman that owns and runs the stand in Morgan Street Food Hall is so sweet and her bagel sandwiches are even better!

Bittersweet has amazing desserts and drinks. I've been several times and each time I enjoy what…read moreI've had. A solid go-to is their s'mores sundae which is sooo good! The chocolate brownie is thick and rich, but not too sweet, and the marshmallow cream is divine, especially with the ice cream. A lot of their drinks and gin based, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I always find something I can enjoy. The service is great and relatively quick, and everyone I've met there is kind and willing to help. The inside is a bit small, so smaller crowds are better and it does tend to get crowded later in the evening and on weekends. The outside street sitting area is nice too and hopefully will be fully fixed soon. Overall a great places to stop for drinks and desserts after a nice meal! And the menu rotates seasonally so you'll always have the chance to try something new!

We were honestly a little overwhelmed by all the options, but he gave us an extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable walk-through of the menu, helped us narrow down drinks, and absolutely crushed the recommendations. The desserts were great, the drinks were even better, but Brandon was easily the highlight of our experience. He was kind, helpful, sharp, and clearly knew exactly what he was talking about. Five stars all around. We'll definitely be back.

Minimalist but chic. Clean. Not too loud or noisy. You can get service at your table. Everyone was nice. It's not totally like a traditional waitstaff, as they don't come by as often, but still helpful and around when I needed something. The cocktails were good - I had the honey bourbon smash. It was well made. So much so I had two! For food, these are shareable small plates. Morning truly felt like a meal. The food came out fast and was hot/fresh. I had the crab claws, crispy shrimp and dumplings. The crab claws were delicious. Lots of them too. Served with bread I didn't use. The crispy shrimp were nice large shrimp and a spicy sauce with rice. I ended up using the rice with the crab claw sauce. And the dumplings were ok but I didn't eat many of them. They were my least favorite. I would come back to enjoy coffee and breakfast, but doubt I come back for dinner.

GPS brought us to the parking lot behind the building. There isn't clear signage to direct you where to go. We managed to find our way up the stairs and into the building. There are a number of businesses located inside. Lucky Tree is super cute. It's set up to encourage working, with plenty of charging spots all around. There is a variety of seating, from long wooden tables to smaller individual areas. We ordered a chai latte and golden milk latte, both with oat milk. Both drinks were good. Fyi there is a separate entrance from the side that takes you directly to another smaller parking lot.

I loved the cheese on top! I was not a huge fan of the flavor the almond flour gave them but it was not overpowering. I would probably get them again! They had a lot of options as far as specialty lattes but I am glad I went with the Vanilla Maple. I was worried that the maple flavor would be too much but it complimented the vanilla well. The inside was VERY well decorated, and I would've loved to stay and do a little computer work! I could see myself coming by and sitting down for a quick brunch, meeting up with friends, or staying for a work session.

My partner got the iced version--which was somehow even better than the warm version. I don't like my coffee drinks too sweet, and they struck exactly the right balance. It tasted like there was real strawberry (and not just a super-sweet syrup). Unlike many coffee shops, they gave us a number to bring to our table, so we didn't need to stand around and wait for our coffee to be ready. Instead, they brought it to our table for us. This was such a nice touch! There's a good amount of seating inside, but we sat outside since it was such a nice day. Can't wait to go back & try an iced americano or drip coffee to try out some of their different roasts.

This morning, I walked in and saw not one familiar face there, and I've come to learn all the staff walked out simultaneously weeks ago. After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years! If you are looking for a coffee nearby, jubala (pendo), black & white (videri), heirloom are all great options (and sir Walter coffee and 42 & Lawrence are decent and close)

I got a hot americano first which was fantastic; i use this as a base measure for how well a shop pulls shots without having to completely sacrifice the drink if its subpar. I then grabbed an espresso which was perfectly balanced and easily drinkable; no need for sugar to offset bitterness; appropriate temperature; served in warmed ceramic shot glass. I also grabbed a baked good which was also great, i wouldve preferred it warmed up, although admittedly, they probably could have if id asked. There is a large amount of outdoor seating but inside seating is limited as well as outlets for work. Luckily it wasnt busy when i arrived and was able to find a spot to get setup. Will absolutely be coming back and recommending this place to others.

The perfect coffee roaster might actually exist -- and it might be Black & White Coffee Roasters in…read moredowntown Raleigh. I'm a big fan of lighter-roasted, funky, expressive coffees, and Black & White absolutely delivers. Their roasting style leans into vibrant, fruit-forward profiles, and they do it with confidence. The downtown Raleigh location is fantastic too. It's right in the middle of everything, making it a great stop for a date night, meeting up with friends, or just dropping in for a quick but exceptional cup. Their seasonal menu was small but mighty -- just a couple of options -- but the kind where every drink looks so good you wish they'd never rotate them off the menu. I started with the orange cardamom flat white, and it was perfect in every way. Beautifully presented and incredibly balanced. The espresso, milk, orange, and cardamom all complemented each other without any one flavor taking over. It was nuanced, aromatic, and just a joy to drink. For my second drink, I ordered a Rodrigo Sanchez pour-over, a co-fermented Colombian coffee labeled with passion fruit notes. It was everything I want from a pour-over -- bright, juicy, and expressive, with the kind of sweet stone fruit and berry notes that make light-roasted coffee so exciting. Black & White continues to prove why they're one of the most respected specialty roasters around. If you love adventurous coffee with huge flavor and careful execution, this place is an absolute must-visit.

I came here on a week day and it was packed but the kitchen seemed steady. Their service is very stream lined with pagers for food orders. There is a lot of seating but it also seems to be a place where a good chunk of people come to work. They have a library inside as well and the books at the time were all $3 ea. Today I came and it's a Sunday. As expected they were SLAMMED. Line to the door of people waiting and line to the door of people ordering. I still got my coffee in less than 5 min. People waiting on food were getting theirs in similar time. The staff was killing it! They have a large selection of baked goods (lots of laminated dough), fast casual breakfast & lunch, and a huge coffee menu. They also have gluten free options for food and about a dozen gf/df baked goods. They said they have separate prep space and changed gloves for gluten free food but it's a shared oven. I didn't have any issues though. To who ever is managing your kitchen and staff, you're doing a great job.
