Got the speciality banana latte, didn't love the banana chunks, and there wasn't a lot of "espresso" flavor coming through. Deff wouldn't get that again. The inside is cute but only one register so the line backs up quickly! Once I ordered I got everything pretty fast.

While I have been gifted treats from here, this was my first time visiting for myself. We opted for…read morethe drive thru window. We had to wait a few minutes for service. There appeared to just be one person helping people inside as well as the drive thru. The wait gave us enough time to figure out what we wanted. There was a handwritten chalkboard with all of the menu items for the day. Unfortunately the regular breakfast cookies, which are our go-to, were sold out. My son did snag the last gluten free breakfast cookie. My daughter opted for a blueberry muffin while I had the pineapple banana bread. Both were good but not quite as good as our usual breakfast cookies. The gluten free breakfast cookie was put in a bag along with the non-gluten free items, which was a little concerning. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to support a small business and look forward to returning again!

COFFEE, KOLACHES, AND MORE! (Even alcohol!)…read more I try to avoid Haywood Road however when I heard they have kolaches here I had to come try them. This joint has now become one of my study session go-to spots! My current favorite coffee in town is the fall menu Sweet Potato Marshmallow Latte! Kolache selections vary depending on the time of day, as they're made fresh in small batches. My favorites are the jalapeño egg and the sausage gravy flavors. Inside seating is adequate, and there are some tables with access to outlets. Staff has always been friendly. Music selection is usually really good! The downside is the parking, there is a decent amount of street parking, especially compared to Haywood Road more west of here. I've never had a problem getting a spot during morning/early afternoon on any day of the week. If you're on the opposite side and trying to walk across the street, cars don't stop for you at the crosswalk in my experience

The muffin had a good banana-blueberry balance, and the flavors of the lemon bar were also balanced due to the addition of powdered sugar. Overall, a great relaxation spot. And that's not odd!

I avoided going in here for about a year because the exterior does not look inviting with the…read morewindows covered. I didn't realize they sold food here until I looked online so I thought I would give it a try. Especially since they are selling falafel and shawarma which is hard to find, and rarely any good in the United States. It's like trying to find decent Mexican food in Europe. I went in around 10am to order a falafel wrap and a drip coffee to go. The drip coffee was surprisingly good. Nice and dark. While I sat and waited i noticed many of the tables were dirty with crumbs, etc. I was the only person in there at the time so it isn't as if it were especially busy. I had finished my coffee by the time my order was ready so I went to the trash containers to throw away my cup. The containers are a lot like the tall trash containers you find in fast food places, with a flat surface on top for trays, etc. I noticed many people had left their paper cups on top of the containers which I thought was odd until I noticed both containers were overflowing with garbage. At 10 in the morning? Not a good sign. The falafel wrap was okay. The bread was good, the tzatziki was good with fresh tomatoes and cucumber. The falafel was mushy from a mix. So not great. Not real falafel. It doesn't make me want to try the chicken or lamb shawarma. Their inability to keep the customer facing areas clean makes me doubt the sanitation in the kitchen. So I doubt I'll be returning. It's unfortunate because a decent Middle Eastern restaurant could really do well in this neighborhood.

Very quiet place, and so BIG! When you walk in if you go through the doors closest to the busier…read moreroad you kind of second guess if you're in the right spot because that area is still being worked on. A sign guides you to where you order, and it really opens up. Very pretty inside, looks like lots of seating outside as well as screened seating in the back. Parking is a bit weird but there are places right next to it you can get to. Feels like they need some easy music playing or something because it's "drop of a pen" quiet in here haha. The iced strawberry matcha was great, not sure I would try the green apple mojito again though--just not my jam and jelly

We got their seasonal 'Smores Latte' iced and it was delicious. We also shared their 'Peach Rooibos Croissant' and it was so flavorful and delicious. The croissant had filling on the inside. It was light and fluffy. It was definitely enough to share between two people. The cafe had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They had a variety of board games one can play. The one negative was that I didn't see a wheelchair ramp to get in and out of the coffee shop. It made getting in and out difficult with a stroller.

The latte was excellent too, and the latte art was a nice touch. Before we left, I grabbed a twice-baked almond croissant, and it was just as good.

The shop has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere inside, and there's also a great outdoor seating area if you're bringing your dog. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
