    The best coffee in Raleigh. Amazing coffee. I parked in the paid parking for the building and it was free with a voucher from the coffee shop. The coffee is amazing. I got a bag of coffee that comes with a free 12oz drip brew. The drip brew was amazing. They have a rotating menu for the espresso and drip. I ordered a latte and unlike most places you could actually taste the espresso which was amazing. The milk was perfectly steamed. The seating inside is minimal so don't come with a family of four or more unless you want to sit outside. The outside patio is in the shade for the most part. The service was excellent and quick. Amazing coffee. A must visit if in the area.

    Sipping Chocolate - OMG this is so good!!!

    If you want a chocolate themed drink, this is your spot. It is inside the Videri Chocolate Factory, albeit a separate business. They source their chocolate from Videri. They also serve coffee, which I didn't try. You must order the SIPPING CHICOLATE! It is melted chocolate with a little water and additional sugar. It is super rich so you get a small cup to sip like an espresso. They have a beautiful outdoor patio, which is where we sat. I would be a regular at this cafe if I lived in the area. I will make a stop here every time I visit Raleigh.

    The perfect coffee roaster might actually exist -- and it might be Black & White Coffee Roasters in downtown 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.

    It's a cute spot alongside the chocolate store/factory. I got the coffee soda which was an interesting combo but enjoyed with the orange/lime hints alongside La Croix and coffee. The coffee came out pretty fast and the outdoor seats were somewhat packed.

    Loved this place! Tons of outside seating and they validate your parking! Latte was super yummy

    Chilling with Frozen hot chocolate

    If you love the scent of chocolate, stopping by is a must try. This cafe is nestled in where you can the chocolate being made. Since it was a warm day, I thought I'd try the frozen hot chocolate. Don't know if it compares to NYC's version but it was perfect. Located across the street from The Pit BBQ. Parking is next door.

    Here's what I'll say, everything about this shop was cute and cozy and well done The coffee is 10/10, truly Frozen hot chocolate 10/10 Decor and vibes 10/10 Outdoor seating 10/10 Busy on Saturday AM ofc. We have been wanting to get coffee from here bc only 1 coffee shop in our home town sometimes stocks B&W. What I will say, is friendliness and customer service goes a LONG way. Greeting customers, communicating about drinks being done, etc is necessary. I always think a mid tier coffee shop that has excellent customer service will win over an amazing coffee shop with poor customer service. It's about the experience! Customers aren't a bother and not the enemy

    Great coffee spot. Stopped by to get a quick espresso before heading out for activities. Grabbed a bag of coffee beans since they have very unique flavors. Customer service was excellent especially helping to choose which coffee beans I should get. There is also a chocolate place right next to the coffee shop, but it was closed when we were there.

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!

It came with a spicy ketchup which was good to dip the fries in. I got the Crispy Chicken Biscuit in Hot Honey. The chicken is basically Taiwanese popcorn chicken and it was fried to perfection! The hot honey flavor did not really come through for me, but the biscuit was pretty soft. Overall, this is a nice cafe! Lots of food and drink options with an Asian twist.

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.
