It's a place to get coffee…read more Things start out easy enough, jumping right off 42 or 50, depending on which way you came. You'll see a large parking lot and start to ask yourself what all this church stuff has to do with coffee. Or, for that matter, all the sports and activity resources. Well, they don't. Serenity is a coffee-getting SPACE inside a SPACE that offers all kinds of other things within its SPACE, like a game room, among others. Calling it a "coffee shop" is going too far. But very convenient if you're craving caffeine and don't feel like driving out of your way to reach Ugly Mug or deal with the maddening weekend conditions at Cultivate. (Speaking of which, they use Cultivate beans here. So that's a win.) It's charmless, tucked inside an echo-laden, hall of many shades of gray and not a window in sight. Huge and accommodating, with work tables rocking multiple outlets per person (!), there are good things to say, for sure. Like the barista with the kind demeanor. The churchy feel is pretty overwhelming. If you're not into that or have a problem with it, think again? Idk, it's obvious that the coffee aspect rings as an afterthought, what with everything else going on. If you're looking for a coffee house situation, you won't find it here. But if you want an uber-quiet, enormously spacious, wholly uninteresting place to work, give Serenity Brews a shot. Fair warning, though - the wifi is paltry, so don't bring any demanding work.

They also serve pastries from a local bakery. The environment is a little different than your typical coffee shop, but I appreciate that as there is ample seating compared to some other shops in the area.

Stopped by Cultivate Coffee Roasters on a realtor tour of some houses in the Fuquay-Varina area and…read moreneeded some coffee. When you arrive parking can be found either on the street or in a nearby parking lot. There was a pretty long line wrapping around the coffee shop so we hopped in line. When we were at the coffee shop there doesn't seem to be enough seating for how much traffic is going through the shop as the inside and outside seating were pretty full. Unfortunately the atmosphere was a bit overshadowed by being overcrowded and several kids running around. The atmosphere inside the coffee shop feels like a modern vibe but nestled within a small town. I ordered a strawberry glazed donut and a vanilla latte. I wasn't the biggest fan of the donut as it didn't taste the freshest and the espresso shots weren't pulled correctly as the latte tasted a bit watery/thin. This coffee shop is crowded as it's really the only option in Fuqua-Varina but may try it again if I'm in the area again.

I came here after a long day's job in Fuquay-Varina and was looking for a light pick-me-up. The girls at the counter were happy to recommend a drink for me and make it in my tumbler. I got a piece of lemon bread and reflected on the day's work. It is a great place to unwind after a long day. I had a long drive ahead of me after my visit, so I'm glad I stopped in. I'll keep this little shop in mind for when I'm in town again.

It is very much catering to a specific audience, and if you're the other side of that audience, you may feel a bit alienated. I didn't. I enjoyed my time there, but it's not a spot for my repeat visits.

I came in the evening and had to circle around to find somewhere to park. The business is spacious. When I came in there was a large party inside and an employee asked the group to move to the side so that I could get to the front counter area. The employees that I engaged with were friendly and helpful. I sampled a few ice cream flavors before deciding on the banana pudding ice cream in a cone. The ice cream was amazing and was also recommended by the clerk. I would definitely get it again. I also got a brownie since all of the other pastries had sold out for the day. It was soft but something was a little off about the taste. Maybe the edges were a little too overcooked. I would come back for more ice cream.

Now if he's heading that way for errands or appointments, I have him stop in to get a few. I do feel like the cookies have changed in weight (they feel a bit lighter) but I know that the price of ingredients, especially ones of consistent high quality, has skyrocketed. Either way, I strongly encourage people to check this place out!
