Lucky Tree is one of the best places in Raleigh to grab a cup of coffee, enjoy a pastry, and truly…read morerelax. With bar-top seating, couches, tables, and chairs, it offers a welcoming environment to work, study, or find a bit of end-of-day calm. This place also holds personal nostalgia for me. I recently released my book Purple Rose: The Stars Carry Her Name -- Letters from Me to Her, a collection written for a woman I love living in Raleigh, and I was able to write some of those love letters and poems right here in this lovely café. Lucky Tree regularly hosts open mic nights for musicians and poetry-focused events, and the owners are deeply involved in the local arts scene. Through these events, I've met artists, authors, and incredible people--and I've even shared my own work from my above mentioned book here. Overall, this is a truly unique and beautiful shop. The food is always fresh, the staff is vibrant, polite, and genuinely helpful, and the atmosphere shifts naturally from lively to quiet and relaxing depending on the events taking place. Top-tier shop and easily one of my favorite coffee spots in Raleigh. And yes--the coffee is really good.

I decided to try this out for a quick coffee stop while in town for a conference. The service was…read morefriendly and quick! I tried the breakfast bagel bites, which were soft and warm. I loved the cheese on top! I was not a huge fan of the flavor the almond flour gave them but it was not overpowering. I would probably get them again! They had a lot of options as far as specialty lattes but I am glad I went with the Vanilla Maple. I was worried that the maple flavor would be too much but it complimented the vanilla well. The inside was VERY well decorated, and I would've loved to stay and do a little computer work! I could see myself coming by and sitting down for a quick brunch, meeting up with friends, or staying for a work session.

And I say this as someone who has been to many a thrift shop, as well as a couple of the other vintage doors that show up on Yelp in the Research Triangle area. On this occasion I was in dire need of a dress to wear for a mehndi social event and was looking for something very much in alignment to a beautiful multi-colored number I had rented from Rent the Runway last summer. In hindsight, I should have bought that dress when I had a chance, but that's the thing about hindsight. . . Anyways, Dress proved to be a really fun browsing experience. The store is large and the racks are full and generally assorted by color, which really helps when you're looking for something specific. I tried on two items. One: a multicolored tunic style dress and 2: a really cute romper with some lace appliques. Neither of them got me super excited, so I will keep up my search for the dress that got away. Meanwhile I was pleased to find that Dress also has a healthy selection of well-made jewelry, as well as designer shoes for perusal. I may have struck out this time but this shop is definitely going into my rotation. This Brooklyn girl is definitely starved for some fun fashion finds.

They have the shop set up in sections, candles, oils, incense, crystals, Tarot cards, children's section. It's clean organized and shoppable. They have readers on a daily basis.

It resonated with me and he has a unique and honest way of delivering such messages. The ladies at the front are friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful.

This Harris Teeter is across the street so it is my go to Teeter. Very much a neighborhood store…read morefor the Glenwood Village/Carolina Country Club neighborhood of the Five Points area of Raleigh. Today, I just went on another "beat the storm" shop. Today was ahead of 15" of predicted snow; last week was the ice storm. Store was very busy and pretty well stocked. I was able to get everything on my list. I use the app, and love it. They offer a 5% discount to seniors 60 and over on Thursdays. This is very nice. One key service that Harris Teeter does, that to my knowledge, no other Supermarket Chain does, is that the check out person unloads your cart for you. They also are very good about keeping your items in the same bag if requested.,

There's lots of silver, which makes this allergic-to-gold chick quite happy. Most of the pieces, though, are colorful in all sorts of stones, textures and designs, and many have matching earrings. Some pieces are small and elegant while others can be on the big and bold side. I'm okay with moderately-chunky, but brash and over-the-top-chunky is not my style. HandPicked does gift certificates -- great idea if you need a gift for a girlfriend but aren't sure which piece to choose (if you are a guy, that piece of advice is NOT for you! Buy something you think she'll like, but hang onto the receipt just in case). They also do monogramming. I wish this location was bigger and had more inventory.

The furniture is expensive, so I held off but would look at the various pieces they made (tables, chairs, cabinets, stools, benches, etc.) each time I was at the flea market. I looked at other furniture for my sunroom, but nothing came close to this. Plus, he was willing to come measure the space for the pieces I wanted for a custom fit! I decided the price was worth it given the quality wood, workmanship and the fact that he was willing to measure my space. You can't get that level of service nowadays and for such quality product anywhere else I am aware of. I ordered a table, chairs, stools, side table, coffee table and corner cabinet. I could not be happier with the outcome., It is truly quality furniture at a reasonable price considering what you get. The only downside is that there is a waiting period, but it is worth it for what you get. I highly recommend this furniture and business.

(This review is for the Fleet Feet RALEIGH) I have been a loyal customer of Fleet Feet for over 10…read moreyears and have recommended the store to many friends. I also brought my kids there for years when they were running XC, so our family has purchased many many pairs of shoes from Fleet Feet. I purchase running shoes there every 4-5 months and, until now, have never once returned a pair of shoes or complained. My most recent purchase was $180 pair of Saucony running shoes. After only about three weeks of use, the sides of the shoes began to wear down significantly. Given my long history with the store, I brought them back expecting at least a conversation about the issue and perhaps some assistance. Instead, the experience was extremely disappointing. The staff seemed disinterested and abrupt, and the interaction made me feel as though I was trying to pull a fast one being dishonest about the issue. After more than a decade of loyal business that was incredibly insulting. Rather than taking the time to understand the problem they insisted it was my issue and possibly the use of gym equipment! The solution they offered was simply another pair of shoes priced lower than the ones I had purchased, and the overall tone felt like they just wanted to move me out the door as quickly as possible. It's unfortunate, because Fleet Feet has always been a store I trusted and recommended. I hope management takes customer loyalty more seriously in the future.

Though I ended up having to order the magnet version of what I wanted from Etsy.com, I walked out with a great NC State gel pen there that writes beautifully. Definitely drop by for Decision Day, graduation, dorm room, birthday, and holiday gifting. The parking is a breeze compared to the campus student union store, Wolfpack Outfitters.
