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!

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

My drink was made fast, the service is always friendly, and they actually like to talk to you. This place is absolutely gorgeous inside and HUGE. It's also really quiet, so if you need somewhere to study, work, or just focus for a while, this is a great spot. I noticed this time that they have a little lending library with all kinds of books, and now it looks like they have puzzles and cards too, which I thought was really cute. And PARKING. The parking is free. On a street where parking can be a pain, it is honestly refreshing to find a place where you don't have to circle the block three times and then walk a mile to get where you're going. Definitely becoming one of my favorite places to stop for coffee.

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.

They have a lovely outdoor deck to sit at and enjoy some coffee, tea, or baked good. The inside is quaintly decorated and feels so cozy. This is definitely a spot for the locals.

It seems like a nice place to get some work done too.

For the coffee lovers there are typically 3 options of self serve available (medium, dark, decaf) so you never have to wait more than a minute or two to get what you want. If you have some time to enjoy that cup of coffee inside the cafe you can pay for a refill ($0.50 I believe) and fill up again before you leave. The cookies are huge. The breakfast burrito (both veg and non veg available) has become a staple in our household along with the breakfast croissant (bacon egg and cheese). I do wish they were open Sunday's and had longer hours during the week but a solid option in the area!

They hit the spot.. They source locally and care about their ingredients. I ordered the GF avocado toast with everything bagel seasoning and it was fantastic. I need to find out where they get their GF bread because it did not fall apart and was not dry... it was more like conventional whole grain bread. Hubby had the sausage egg sandwich. It was smaller than he likes and he is not health conscious of his food intake so he prefers big and greasy fast food options. It's always a challenge to find places we both enjoy. I'll definitely be back while we are here, even if hubby would like to grab his breakfast elsewhere!
