Since I had the day off today, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to finally give this place a try! I ordered a regular bagel with cream cheese, which was, of course, good.

Unfortunately, the food just wasn't for us. I got the #12 Frisée Lardon on an everything bagel with the triple cut house smoked bacon, crispy potatoes, runny egg, frisée and Dijon vinaigrette. It sounded SO good, but there was a ton of frisée, and the combination of the greens, vinaigrette, runny egg and really thick fatty bacon made the whole sandwich feel very wet and slippery with burnt potato chips. I'm big on texture, and I just couldn't do it. I also wasn't a fan of the bagel itself. I was hoping for something dense and chewy, and this was much flatter than what I personally like. I understand that's a preference thing and that Benchwarmers has its own style of bagel, but it definitely wasn't what we were looking for. The drinks were decent and the service was great, but overall the food was a miss for us. I can see this being someone else's thing, but unfortunately we probably wouldn't go back.

Small but mighty, this coffee shop is a cozy little caffeine cave wrapped in warm wood tones and…read moresleek modern flair. The booths are spotless, comfy, and practically beg you to linger--at least until the crowd rolls in. When it's quiet, it's charming. When it's busy, it's loud. Think espresso machines competing with over enthusiastic kids and a room that amplifies every giggle, shuffle, and snack-time negotiation. Intimate in size, big on personality, and absolutely buzzing when the tiny humans take over--come for the coffee, stay for the chaos (or bring noise-canceling headphones). The staff here are the kind of friendly that feels genuine, not rehearsed--always attentive, always moving, They whip up a solid cortado with confidence, but where they really shine is the cappuccino: velvety, balanced, and clearly made by people who care about the details. The breakfast sandwiches are freshly made, warm, and reliably good--nothing fancy or overthought, just simple, satisfying fuel done right. The prices have a bit of main-character energy--slightly higher than you expect, confidently so, your wallet may raise an eyebrow, but the coffee shrugs and says, worth it. Cheers!

Lovely and cute bistro with lots of boba and drink options!…read more I live right across the street, so the location is perfect for me. This bistro is located in the same shopping center as the Food Lion and Hwy 55. There aren't a lot of parking spots right in front of Boba Beans, but there's plenty right on the other side near Food Lion. This is a great place to grab and go or stay for a while. I've come a few times to work while waiting for my car inspection next door or when I just needed to get out of the house since I work from home. There are plenty of tables and chairs throughout and even some couches if you'd like something more comfortable. I don't like tea or coffee much, so I can't give a review on those, but they have a Citrus Refresher with boba that is absolutely delicious! I always get that when I go. They've recently changed their food menu a bit, so I'm not sure what is best, but I've also always enjoyed the food there as well. It's made fresh to order in-house. My favorite thing about Boba Beans is that they have staff of ALL abilities. I absolutely love seeing how the staff provides opportunities for people with a variety of disabilities. That's what made me fall in love with it! Not a lot of establishments will give people a chance, but it's great to see this happening here! Highly recommend it if you're in the area!

I ordered a Cranberry Pomegranate tea with mango syrup and tapioca pearls using the self-serve kiosk, which was quick and easy. While waiting, I looked around and was really impressed by the space. There are plenty of seating options, a play area for kids, and two fun photo-op walls. I'll definitely be back with my family to try more drinks and check out the food menu as well.

Their breakfast items looked really yummy so I'll for sure be back to try one of those and some ice cream! Loved that they had indoor and outdoor seating for any time of year. Overall a great find.

Lots going on here!…read more This spot offers a bit of everything--coffee, rolled or scooped ice cream, sandwiches, donuts, and pastries. It's counter service, with seating available if you want to stay, or you can grab it to go. Service is efficient, and the space is clean, though the back-of-house area looked a little chaotic. Overall, a solid place for coffee and a quick bite.

Full Bloom is one of my favorite coffee shops in Raleigh/Garner! It's in a cute, cozy building. I'm…read morealways a sucker for exposed brick vibes. Most seating is upstairs accessible by a staircase (fairly certain there isn't an elevator option), so that's the main heads up in case of any accessibility needs. However there is seating outside and one table downstairs indoors. They have amazing espresso beans with great flavor. I typically order a caramel latte but have heard the orange latte is amazing. Their muffins are also a nice pairing with the coffee. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

The walls are decorated in sports memorabilia and September 11th tributes. When you walk in, you will see the Statue of Liberty. I tried to sit in the Mets section, but that was taken as it is a busy place, so I sat near the Yankees. I was ok with the photo of Don Mattingly and don't hate the Yankees, I just love the Mets. I made sure to spend some time in that section before leaving, seeing the 1986 tributes to Mike Piazza, Jose Reyes, and David Wright. It is just fun to be surrounded by the memorabilia. The sandwiches also follow in the New York theme. I ordered the Mr. Met, it had ham, turkey, and roast beef with lettuce, provolone, and tomatoes. I've had it before, so I knew it was good and ordered the full size rather than a half. I enjoyed every bite of it. The service was friendly, and they have daily specials with a different sub featured each day. The food was prepared fresh and fast. If you are looking for a high-quality sub, this is the place to order from.
