The drink menu is huge, and it's clearly geared more toward flavored latte lovers than coffee purists. If you like creative, dessert-style drinks, you'll have plenty to choose from. Drinks: I ordered a cortado, but it came out more like a breve. Not a big deal, but not quite what I was expecting. I also tried The Alchemist -- an iced latte with white chocolate, English toffee, and raspberry. It was enjoyable, but definitely flavor-forward, with the syrups taking center stage more than the espresso. Food: This is where the place really shines. I ordered the chicken biscuit with Sriracha hot honey, and it was excellent. Crispy chicken, a great biscuit, and the sweet heat from the sauce tied everything together perfectly. Overall: If you're looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot with lots of fun drink options, No Filter is a solid choice. If you're hunting for a specialty coffee experience focused on the coffee itself, this probably isn't the destination -- but the food alone makes it worth the stop.

So we pulled off, took out the trusty Yelp app, and this place popped up. Pulling it, it was clear that they were popular and busy. We went in and there was a wait, about 15 minutes. We decided to hang around instead of worrying about "making good time" and are glad we did. Once we got a seat, we received great service. Our server always kept our drink full, and checked on us just enough. We never felt like we were searching for her. Looking at the menu, I was surprised to see that the prices were not unreasonable, even though it's a very trendy place. in fact, they had a $10ish lunch menu available with a few selections that even included a drink. I was more in a lunch mood so I went that direction, and got a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Food came out hot and in a reasonable time even with a full restaurant, so this is a well oiled machine. For the price, I was pretty impressed. I would say the sandwich was about the size of your average CFA chicken sandwich, but had a bold buffalo flavor that I liked a lot. They didn't skimp on the fries, and the ranch complemented it perfectly. We finished up and our server was on top of things getting us the check, so really we still made "good time" on our drive to the coast. I would recommend Brunches to travelers and locals alike!

The restaurant has a cute diner feel with colorful decor and a fun, casual atmosphere. I got the lunch salad & sandwich special with the Southwest salad and turkey melt. The salad was fresh and I loved how generous they were with the avocado. The turkey melt was delicious and the bread was perfect! My mom got the Create Your Own Omelette, you pick 3 items (she chose mushrooms, onions and peppers) and a side and a bread of your choice (ex white, wheat, English muffin) . She picked grits and an English muffin, and the grits were so good! They have a huge menu with lots of variety. I'll definitely be back!

The staff was friendly, welcoming, and moved with purpose--no one was just standing around. I ordered the herb-crusted salmon mesa bowl and it did not disappoint. The salmon was seasoned well with a perfect sear, and the sides actually felt fresh and intentional, not like fillers. Loved the kale, the sweet potatoes, and that corn was shockingly good. The green sauce on the side added the right kick and pulled everything together. Portions are generous, the food tastes clean and well-prepared, and the atmosphere feels like a local favorite in the making. I'll definitely be back.

Walking up to the coffee shop you'll see a painted crosswalk with flowers, and beautiful mural of birds on the side of the building, and a purple color front. When you walk in you'll be transported to a cozy, charming, and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are also extremely nice and welcoming. I ordered the seasonal latte which I can't remember what it was called. It had turmeric and some other spaces, I believe it was called the bee latte and it was excellent. I hear the Orange Blossom latte is also really good. Also, check out the upstairs seating area. This is a great coffee shop to spend some time in and also for remote work.

I've learned during my time in the Carolinas that you must request for your coffee to be extra hot which is what I did so it was the perfect temperature. The veggie bagel scramble was decent, no Wao factor but it was a nice quick bite while on the run. Staff seemed nice too, no real complaints here. I consider coming back, but only if I happen to be close by not a place I'd go out of my way for. The location is pretty nice too. I like the curve appeal and the fact that there's plenty of parking. Prices were more than reasonable for today's market, which is nice to see. Solid four stars.
