I recently came to Daphne's after watching their progress on social media for quite some time. I love that this husband/wife duo is revitalizing a whole corner of downtown with some much needed businesses!
Parking was a breeze even on a Saturday morning of a holiday weekend. There's street parking out front or a huge lot across the street. We were lucky to beat the crowd when we first got there, but it filled up really quickly after we ordered. I love how they've decorated the inside, and there's a good amount of seating for the space.
Everything in the pastry cabinet looked delicious, so we ordered just about one of everything. My favorites were the blondie and the Reese's cookie, but really you can't go wrong. You can tell they are homemade and honestly some of the best cookies I've had in a while (and they are HUGE). I also ordered an iced vanilla latte with 2% milk which was perfect and not too sweet. I didn't see if they have any milk alternatives, and they didn't have any tea options like chai for those that aren't big coffee fans.
I really appreciate that they use cups made with recycled material and their straws are actually made from pasta to cut on waste! It's the little things sometimes. I'm so grateful this shop is here for weekends at Lake Gaston, and I can't wait to check out Blue Jay Bistro once they open a couple doors down (also owned by the same sweet couple)! read more
