I used to love it here but I had a really bad experience recently. I walked in and asked for a…read morecoffee with citrus in it...my husband had remembered a drink he ordered there and asked me for it and that was the best way I knew how to say it. The lady behind the counter (middle-age, petite, long brown ponytail under a hat) scrunched up her nose at me and said..."we have lavender...that's the closest thing we have to citrus." She looked at me like I had two heads, but we went back and looked at old menus and saw it on there. It was an espresso with orange juice. Anyways, I changed the order and asked for a brown sugar cinnamon latte instead and when I asked her what kind of oat milk they had, she just gave me a look and said "the expensive kind." Then I tried to gently explain that I needed to know because my husband is super sensitive to gluten and sometimes oat milk has gluten and she all but rolled her eyes and said "our entire facility is gluten free." I get that...but no need to be snide about it! I was wearing sunglasses because I had been crying about some bad news I had gotten on the way to the shop and her mean attitude made me feel so much worse. There were a couple people in line behind me while she was making my latte and a sweet teenager walked behind the counter and said, "can I help who's next?" And I said "oh actually I wanted to order a cookie as well" and the lady practically yelled "I'LL GET TO YOU." and told the teen to help the other people, even though they weren't ready to order yet and were just standing there when I was ready and knew what I wanted. Then I asked for a lemon cookie and she tried to upsell me something else and I said no thank you. I was also having a tough time standing for long periods of time that day due to chronic illness and her making me wait made it worse....just abysmal customer service. I don't know if I freaked her out by keeping my sunglasses on inside or what but it felt very personal and I'm disappointed. And that lemon cookie was the worst thing I have eaten there by far. Very dry. Do better! EDIT: response to the owner: No, Michele is not always nice. You just missed it. Please see the attached picture for proof of the citrus coffee drink I was referencing. Very disappointed in my experience there and your dismissive response that somehow puts the blame back on my "bad day." Will not be back.

Videri is on the right serving $$$ non-coffee drinks - soft-serve, confections/ chocolates and other trinkets. You can get a sample (smaller than Kisses, maybe 1/3 of it) if you answer the questionnaire about stuff you'll find inside the museum, which is at the back portion of the building. Imagine doing a u-shape walk in a small room with frames on the wall. There wasn't a production when we came, would have been sweet! Kind of didn't feel as welcoming because they all looked plain and somehow serious (maybe tired at noon-ish). Would I recommend for first-timers? Yes, if you are already in the area. I'll definitely be back in Raleigh but 50/50 if I want to bring guests there again. Also, we walked to the factory from the Capitol but there's parking around the area since there are other food spots too.

The…read morechocolates are not only delightfully tasty, they look absolutely stunning, making for great gifts or even treats for yourself. I just love that they are truly bean to bar (you can literally watch them sit and sort the beans, grind them, make the chocolate and all other steps of the process). The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient -- and while prices are a tad higher than your basic chocolates, they are reasonable for the high quality of premium treats you are going to get Just an additional thing I did not mention in my previous review: Their packaging is also great. Not only do they print off the individual names of chocolates you got if you make a box, there is a QR code which when you scan, takes you to the visual and descriptive online guide of all their flavors. Highly, highly recommend, and cannot see any reason why I would not make efforts to continue returning!

I had high hopes for this place but they were greatly exceeded. This was arguably the best meatball sandwich I have ever had! I was not expecting that from a place in Angier, NC and I don't give that designation lightly. The meatballs were perfection, served in a nice crusty roll with fresh mozzarella and a fantastic sauce. I want to drive back down there just thinking about it and I live 45 minutes away. I also had a cannoli and it was exceptional as well. I'm a cannoli junky and this one did not disappoint. I often don't like the ones where the shell is coated in chocolate because they're often some manufactured shell dipped in waxy chocolate. Not the case here. The quality of the chocolate this shell was dipped in was excellent. If you're in the area and want a great Italian sandwich, absolutely stop by.

Bake-wise, this place was A-OK, especially for the price. Hear me out - nothing was amazing, but everything was better than you'd make at home. Nothing was visually stunning, but everything was good. I MUCH PREFER something to be good than to be visually stunning, so I'm fine with this. In fact, places where everything looks "perfect" tend to lack on taste - largely because the pastries have been sitting out getting "perfected" for so long that they suffer. Taste-wise, I will say that the turnovers were a bit soggy, and the muffins (which were delicious!) had berries that sunk . The former is important, the latter is being nit picky. I offer it as hopefully constructive feedback. VERY FRIENDLY staff. Good selection of pastries. And priced well.
