I ordered a tea and she was patient with me as I searched the menu and asked for a flavor and milk. I then ordered a cupcake for my husband and I. I had my toddler with me and the staff were sweet to him which is always so nice. Now let's talk the goodies. The cupcakes were wonderful! A key description my husband and I both agreed on was they were moist. And the flavor was delicious, it hits you as soon as you take that first bite. I got the strawberry cupcake and a chocolate peanut butter cupcake. Perfection. I made the mistake of letting my toddler have a little bite and he turned into a crazy eyed wild one wanting more. With that said, I'll be back.

I love the concept of a coffee flight so much and I appreciate that Sonder lets you build your own instead of having set flavor options.

On my second visit, I tried an iced coffee flight, but unfortunately, the coffees were very watery and lacked much flavor. The service also hasn't been the best during either visit. I really wanted to love Sonder, but based on my experiences so far, I don't think it's somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

A Delightful Surprise…read more 41 North Coffee Co reminds me of 'The Little Engine that Could'. It's a rather small coffee-house / cafe that serves everything from Premium Coffee Concoctions to Biscuits & Gravy to Paninis & Quiche to Wings & Burgers to Steaks & Lasagna to Affogato with a Biscotti (Gelato with Espresso). I think it has the most diverse and extensive menu in our area, and everything I have tasted so far has been delicious. Inside seating a somewhat limited, so it can get crowded during peak hours. There are a couple of outside tables and the roof-top garden is open when the weather turns nice. Except for Sunday dinner, they are open for every meal every day of the week. The Chicken Salad Croissant was slightly sweet and piled high on a large flakey fresh-baked croissant. The Goat Cheese & Fig Panini came with Mozzarella Cheese, Bacon, fresh Spinach and a Balsamic Glaze pressed in Sourdough Bread. It was exceptional. Our grandson devoured a fluffy Waffle and pronounced it the best he had ever had. We also recommend the Spinach Artichoke Quiche - a generous serving of my favorite egg custard tart loaded with Spinach & Artichoke and gooey Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese. The Bacon, Egg & Gouda Sandwich is another winner. The Apple-wood smoked Bacon, Eggs and Cheese are packed into a toasted English Muffin. For something sweet, try the Oreo Cheesecake - simply delicious. One last thing - the Coffee is also very good.

The coffee was great and there was a huge selection of unique flavor options. Everything was amazing. I couldn't have enjoyed a place more. It will be dangerous as the blueberry and cheese danish and the quiche and the pecan pie bar (OMG the pecan pie bar) were so good that I could come back every day and keep trying new things! They also have an upstairs outdoor rooftop seating, but I didn't get to check that out yet. Next time! Thank you Lilly and 41 North for a great visit and working session space for me and my client!

I ended up order their: Plain, Cocoa Classic, Cocoa Caribbean and their Turtle Pecan Cheesecake. On the day of pickup my pickup time was at 9:15am they were on time.

The mini was so good and creamy. I always thought I needed a graham cracker crust with a cheesecake and was proven wrong with that the mini! I literally could've eaten like 10 of them and was so sad I only purchased two. Now as far as the dipped cheesecake goes..welppp it makes a beautiful picture but the taste is just ok. I think what kinda threw me off was how tart the cheesecake was in comparison to the chocolate. I pictured it being more of like a vanilla cheesecake base.

I got a two meat plate ($30) with smoked turkey breast, pork rib, Mac and cheese, and BBQ rice. Both of the meats were solid! I'm not a huge fan of red meat and I know turkey is always a gamble on the dryness, but it was nice and juicy! The ribs were good too. Mac was solid. The BBQ rice was pretty disappointing - super mushy texture, I didn't end up eating it. Super nice staff and clean space!

I had about a 25 minute drive from North Raleigh to Wendell, but I can see why this is considered one of the best coffee spots in town. The service was great, it's a nice place to get some work done, and the matcha was yummy! If it were a bit closer to me, it would definitely be in my WFH coffee shop rotation! It's a perfect addition to Wendell and definitely a spot worth checking out.

My friend picked up some desserts here the other day. We tried the cookie butter pudding (i think…read morethat's what it's called- it was amazing!), the cinnamon roll cake- it was ok but not the start of the show, and the peach poundcake which was fresh, not overly sweet, light. My picks in order were the biscoff cookie butter pudding, peach poundcake and finally the cinnamon roll cake. Prices are a bit high in my opinion but for a treat once in a while, very much worth it and enjoy supporting local, black owned, small businesses.

We had a variety of flavors, including chocolate, red velvet, vanilla, and lemon, and every single one was delicious. The cupcakes were unbelievably moist, and the frosting was so light, creamy, and flavorful. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. They disappeared so quickly that I didn't even get a chance to take any pictures! After trying the cupcakes, I checked out their social media and saw they offer a wonderful variety of desserts. I also learned that their cakes are made by pre-order, and after tasting these cupcakes, I'll definitely be keeping them in mind for future birthdays and celebrations. If their cupcakes are any indication of the quality of their cakes and other desserts, I know they'll be amazing. Highly recommend!

Okay y'all. Wrapping up my summer sojourne. Took family out to brunch. This was a perfect choice…read more The decor evinces a real farmhouse environment, ie: rustically charming. Very welcoming atmosphere. When you come in you're instructed to peruse the menu and order/pay at the register. Or you can seat yourself first, gather your utensils, and order from the menu more leisurely. I chose the latter option. Totally worth careful consideration of the menu IMO. I chose the Eye Opener Breakfast with extra side of grits, sausage and home fries. My family ordered the Salmon Smorrebord and the BLT&E on Crossant. Absolutely delectable. I'm definitely a fan and look forward to my next occasion to visit.

It's one thing to offer poor service, a bar that is fundamentally unable to fulfill its core purpose, and a queso so watered down and thin has dissolved into a watery lackluster reality.

Fortunately there is a new gastro pub opening next door that will be offering a much better option than this, cheers!

The burnt out sign and very few patrons should have been a red flag. After going to the Lake Myra…read morelights nearby, this was the first restaurant we came across and not being familiar with the area and assuming nothing else was open, we went in. That was a mistake. I like Mexican food as does our party of four. We each got a different meal, same ingredients remixed and same reaction. One overpowering ingredient - SALT. Perhaps the food was sitting all day or the cook was off for the night but it was really bad. Possibly the worst Mexican I have ever had. The ironic thing was a large group nearby all barely touched their food and one man I saw, when asked, declined a takeaway box. Salt should be a flavor enhancer. It is not a flavor in itself, unless the food was being preserved for a long time or something was being covered up. There was no natural flavors or juices present. It's hard to mess up rice and beans but unfortunately, Agave managed to master. I sampled some of my companions dishes and just nothing special. They have some work to do.

I liked him it was clean and everything in order as always. Easy in easy out and prices not bad either.

To be clear, pico de gallo, is not a restaurant. This is a to go only pizza/sub sandwich joint and…read moreto be fair I am only comparing it to other local Wendell pizza places. Priced very well considering the amount of toppings on both the White and Supreme. Also the crust is basted in oil or butter and interestingly crispy but not over cooked. The sauce was nice or overly sweet or heavily placed to then soggy up the crust and create a mess like other local places. You can fold this southern NYC style pizza up and keep it moving without having to change your shirt afterwards. Overall really good, probably top 3 in E. Wake county and certainly best in Wendell. If you give them a try remember it's to go so don't get stuck on its location and building being an old C-store.
