    Mocha Crafted Press
    Charles M.

    Caribou Coffee is my favorite chain coffee and coffee shop. Put that disclaimer up front. The shop on the corner of the busy Brier Creek Shopping area can be a destination or a place to stop after shopping for a quick coffee. The menu of items is easy to read with pricing up front. I regularly need to ask the staff what is the difference between one type of drink to another, for example, cold vs. crafted press, and I always receive helpful and friendly assistance. The drinks are always make correctly and taste great. Unfortunately they never seem to last very long! I enjoy iced mochas and appreciate the options of milk or dark chocolate. Drip coffee is available. Bagels and cream cheese and baked goods are available at this store. The coffee app is a must if you decide to become a regular. The rewards are similar to other coffee apps and the offers seem to be pretty frequent. This location represents the Caribou Coffee vibe with its (limited) leather seating and fireplace despite being on the smallish side. Overall the seating on the inside and plenty more chairs and tables outside provide enough places to enjoy your coffee and tea.

    More ice then matcha smh
    Lil B.

    Served me more ice than matcha itself smh, all good tho I'm laying low on the sugar so it all works out

    Rear entrance. Bathrooms with electronic locks. Must get code to use. Watch out. Other customers can walk in on you

    This place needs a ton of upkeep. It's usually unkempt (dirty tables and worse bathrooms) The so called baristas are vert young college age kids. (There has not been a guy there in almost 1year) Be careful how you ask for anything or what you share with them In other words. Don't have small talk The ceiling leaks all winter and they put a bucket underneath in the middle of the floor There are only 6 outlets in the entire place And so if it is crowded good luck charging your phone or laptop And many of them are so old your plug will not stay connected Now the coffee is pretty good. So if you can put up with all of that The food is all microwave items. Not very good and overpriced Thet So...Raleigh has many excellent cafes that do a much better job Hope this helps

    XL Iced Mint Condition

    At first I ordered an iced caramel high rise with extra caramel and it was ok at best. I give them a lot of credit since it was 30 minutes before close however I give them a 5 stare because when I went in to ask them to adjust it they took the old one and asked me if I wanted the same thing or something else without me having to prompt them and were so friendly and happy about making it right. The staff were so nice! The environment was clean and orderly and over all was the cherry on top for why I like going to them over any other coffee shops. The coffee the remade for me was rich and perfect in flavor. Thanks to everyone there to make it happen and keep the customers happy.

    Chai, coffee cake, iced mocha

    This caribou coffee offers cozy seating by an electric fire inside or manifold tables by a meadow-esque grass area outdoors. We tried the cinnamon coffee cake, which was warmed and nicely complimented our beverages. The wait time wasn't long, even given the extensive line.

    Pumpkin Espresso Shaker

    This was my first time visiting and I was disappointed. The service was kind, but my coffee had white chunks in it (even after mixing) and tasted like sour milk. Will not be visiting again!

    Lattes
    Sarah C.

    My husband and I love coming here almost weekly. It gets a little busy on weekend mornings but it's never insane like Starbucks and it somehow retains a small coffeehouse feel which I absolutely love. The people who work here are amazing. It's the same group week after week, giving awesome recommendations and good service. The coffee is so good too. Whether it's an iced coffee, cappuccino or one of the speciality lattes that tastes like s'mores, I always leave happier than when I came and caffeinated for my day ahead!

    Bakery display

    It reminds me of Starbucks with different options as well! Liliana helped recommend a wonderful drink and bakery item. Nice atmosphere here and super polite!

Helpful service in a nicely decorated small cafe, a nice stop for getting a morning going. The Deets: Deciding to venture out a bit to try some place new, I found Morning Ritual on the trusty Yelp app and headed off to there. It is joined along side The Goat restaurant on the edge of an apartment complex campus near Brier Creek. I like the look of the building and while noticing there is outside seating available, there is a convenient take out window on the side as well. I went inside and liked the warm, inviting but still slightly modern look of the cafe style seating and ordering area. There are a couple of seats within range of a power outlet and there is WiFi but note it is public/no password/unsecured access, it appears. Their menu shows a good array of beverages and eats to satisfy those morning needs. I decided on a 16 oz hot skim latte to drink to enjoy there and then ordered the Egg + Cheese Scramble which has Monterey Jack and Cheddar and served with one of their biscuits. You order and pay at the register/counter then they give you a table number to take to your seat. My beverage came in well enough time to enjoy while I waited on my food order. My latte was so good that I had no need for additions such as sweetener or syrups and I like the mug with it to enjoy in house. Food came in good time as well, looking pretty tempting. The toasted biscuit was good and I liked it but a tad small bit sweet for a Southern type biscuit (the type that I'm used to/grown up with enjoying). The scramble was really great...I usually do not favor getting cheese in my scrambled eggs but everything was delicious here and perfect texture as well as portion on the eggs themselves in a small cafe setting. There's always that challenge in a new coffee shop/cafe in figuring out their used dishes protocol/station but loved that my server saw me searching and happily took my dishes at the counter for me. I enjoyed this first visit to Morning Ritual and can see me visiting in the future, I like it.

    The coffee was actually delicious. The service not so much!…read more To be fair I ordered my coffee with my breakfast at The Goat (the restaurant that Morning Ritual shares the building with) but the coffee is listed on The Goat's menu, so they need to get in sync. Our breakfast ended up coming out before coffee, which made no sense. I had to ask about the coffees before they were actually made. When the girl came from morning ritual She brought out my husbands, hot cappuccino but my mocha out iced and I immediately said I don't drink cold coffee and I did an order iced. Instead of being apologetic, and stating that she would change it, she just snatched the iced coffee and walked away. That was such a strange encounter. It was rude and I got no apology, nor did I get any explanation of what would happen next. I let my server know to ensure I was still going to get a coffee because I can't live without my coffee in the morning! When my Moca loved her honey, oat milk, coffee came I took a sip and was glad i didn't flip out and say "forget the coffee" (as I was already done with breakfast by the time in arrived) because the drink was delicious! If I'm ever back in the area (I was staying in Raleigh but decided to take a little detour into Durham that morning) I'll come to only Morning Ritual to see if I can change this 3 star review for service issues into a 5. For now they need to work on getting coffee service to The Goat streamlined!

People were very busy but with stuff moving so fast I understand they are very nice. Food: we got so many different things we would be here all day listing. But to sum it up. We go the pink velvet king doughnut and pink velvet supreme croissant my opinion they are both amazing but I like the doughnut better lighter and more cream filling. Blueberry and cream cheese croissant amazing!! Mini croissant (better warmed) but nice crunch and flaky. Strawberry croissant: this in the spring would be the best thing on the board. Pink velvet matcha (iced drink): not my cup of tea but my husband loved it and said well worth it! Over all loved it all 10 out of 10!

It's honestly one of the first welcoming beacons you see after getting through TSA and heading down to the gates. It's a refreshing change from the usual airport lineup, especially compared to the typical Starbucks. The drink options are fantastic, with a great variety that goes beyond your standard coffee, breakfast menu, and you can really taste the quality. That said, the ordering process can be a bit confusing. It's not always clear whether you should order at the tablet or directly with staff, which can slow things down a bit, especially during busy travel times. The sitting is also limited. It might be better to grab and go. It does get busy, lines are pretty common, but honestly, that's to be expected. When you're at the airport, caffeine is non-negotiable, and this spot is clearly a favorite. Overall, a great stop for quality coffee before a flight, just plan a little extra time.

But it seems to me that this vision has changed, and I do not see the amount of people that I used to view sitting in a Starbucks. And I find that sad. Also, the coffee has gotten worse. You will not find a roasting date, but a 'drink by date' on their coffee bags. Why is this? Because Starbucks does want you to know how long that coffee has been sitting on a shelf even before they sent it to their stores. Coffee that just sits, not occasionally moved, (also based on the type of lighting) loses some of its best flavors due to oxidation. For me, coffee that has a current roasting date ALWAYS has the best flavors and offers the best tasting experience. Unfortunately, one will probably never get this at any Starbucks.
