    The Rancher and Watermelon Hibiscus Lemonade
    Courtnay B.

    Dined in for lunch and had the Rancher Bowl and watermelon hibiscus lemonade (yum!). The line moved really fast, the people were friendly and the food was delicious. The food is super fresh, portion size is large and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be back!

    I stopped in here for a salad one afternoon. It was good. I saw another review that said "think of Chipotle, only for salads" and I thought that was an accurate description. Same type of service and vibe inside as Chipotle. Great alternative to fast food and likely way less expensive than getting a salad bar from Whole Foods. I particularly liked their salad dressing choices.

    Build Your Own Farmbowl & strawberry rosemary lemonade

    Obsessed with this place! The food was super fresh, flavorful, and gave total farm-to-table vibes. Every bite tasted high quality, and the rosemary strawberry lemonade drink was the perfect refreshing pairing. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and aesthetic--definitely a spot you'll want to hang out in. The staff was friendly, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. This is officially my new go-to for a healthy, delicious meal. 10/10, absolutely worth the hype! #FoodieFind #HealthyEats #FarmToTable #FreshVibes #WorthTheHype #SupportLocal

    Can't go wrong with Farmside Kitchen! Everything is so fresh and delicious and the price is downright cheap for the quality and amount of food.

    Very very good spot. The staff was super friendly and the place was really clean. They've got plenty of indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. Tons of toppings and dressings to pick from and everything tasted super fresh. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

    This is the second Farmside Kitchen location in the Triangle. This location is located in the upper level of the Waverly Place shopping plaza. There is plenty of parking in the shared parking lot. There is also also a large dining area indoors & some seats and tables outside. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by multiple employees. The staff were exceptional throughout our visit. They were very helpful in assisting us with our bowls, to-go containers, bags, drinks, etc. We got the opportunity to come for a sneak peak of the business that is opening next week. Farmside offers a variety of preselected bowl options or you can create your own bowl. They also have a kids menu, avocado toast, cookies fountain drinks such as soda & fruit juices, grilled cheese, and etc. We got to try a variety of items such as their bowls, Mac & cheese, cookies, juices & sodas. We got our food very quickly & were provided with large portion sizes. We even had leftovers. Everything tasted good and was fresh. My favorite was the Rancher & Caesar bowls. The Mac & cheese was good & creamy & the cookies were soft & tasty. I can't wait to come back & try other menu items!

    I got The Rancher and my partner got Build Your Own Farmbowl with a Sparkling pineapple mint drink.

    I got The Rancher and my partner got the Build your own farmbowl. I loved mine, I'm glad I can request to remove an ingredient or replace it with something else. My bowl was a bit spicy from the sriracha sauce which is optional but very creamy from the feta cheese and avocado, so good. My partner enjoys that he can choose whatever ingredients he wants and dressing. They ask how much dressing you want too. Will come again, such friendly staff and clean establishment.

    Bottom line: Farmside Kitchen in their Waverly Place location serves up some light and healthier meal options that I enjoy. I like having a choice that not only offers that type of meal but you can customize to your liking as well. Good meals so far here. The Deets: I've discovered Farmside Kitchen fairly recently by ordering from them delivery-wise using their RTP location. I found it a great way to order a pretty healthy and light meal through delivery. Now I have been able to visit their Waverly Place location in person here as well. This location is bright and clean, flow is easy to get to order your meal with a good sized seating area inside. There are a few tables outside also. When ordering, you can see all the ingredients available during each step of the process, pretty simple. They have a wide variety of choices to put together to make your meal unique or have many pre-formulated menu selections that they put together in front of you. I usually go with the Little Farmer Bowl with your choice of grilled protein, choice of grain, choice of green, black beans or roasted veggie, topping/dressing, and a choice of drink. I usually like Romaine, grilled chicken, rice, black beans, and Parmesan cheese for my bowl. Yes, it's from the kid's menu but it's just the size I need and contains all I'd like to enjoy in the meal (remember, keeping it somewhat light here). One visit I did get their avocado toast and enjoyed it as a "side" to my bowl choice. Service was adequate both visits, felt a bit rushed the first time but well served and all went well. I like Farmside Kitchen and will continue to enjoy meals from there, whether in person or delivery.

    Came here on a Wednesday afternoon. Restaurant is casual as you order at the counter. There is a limit to amount of food options you put in your bowl. I think I was overcharged as two bowls came to $38 and I followed the instructions. Quality of food is good. It was warm and fresh. Selection of sodas and fruit infused drinks.

    My husband and I happened upon their sneak peak/employee training. I have been wanting to try the Durham location for a while and it never worked out. So glad the owner and manager stopped us to invite us in. Usually I stay away from a restaurant when they are opening as they are ironing out the kinks. Not here. The service was so friendly and quick! The food was fresh and plentiful. Love they use locally sourced food. I tried the root veggie bowl with chicken and my husband had the pitchfork with tofu. The proteins were both cooked perfectly. I liked the root veggie bowl better than the pitch fork. I wanted to try the farm Caesar but thought that looked boring compared to others. Will have to come back. Lots of seating inside and out. Will be back!

I might have to taste their cakes next time like the crepe cakes. The lady who was there is not pushy and knew exactly when she needs to head to the cash to take orders. I feel like it's a good place to study or a place to meet for a project. The music is not too high and they have ample space for a meet up. Also, if you want boba or treats delivered to you, you can order through a take away app.

    From all the pictures I saw on Yelp, I had high expectations for this place…read more Well, let me start with the positive. The place itself was really pretty. Great, lofty space...and nicely decorated throughout. Now comes all the disappointments. First of all, I was the one customer when I stopped in around 2:30 pm...and while the place itself was nice, it felt kind of stale. Total silence...no music. I also noticed that they changed things...for the worse. They no longer had on the menu this trio sampler that I had my heart set on. Also, I didn't find their drink menu that appetizing. Also, everything was now served in paper cartons...not actual plates and cups. This is a running pet peeve of mine. Since Covid, many cafes and bakeries have downscaled on cups, plates and utensils...to serve everything in cheap to-go wares. I expect that type of vibe at fast foods, like McDonald's and Taco Bell...not nice cafes and bakeries. I ordered this soupy dessert (forgot the name), along with this Crepe Cake, and this Mango Fruity drink. Truly, each and every item was forgettable. Just not that good. Then the service... dead-pan. The lady at the counter had this rude-cold demeanor, and did not flick even a slight smile even once. So yeah...NOT great all around. Aside from the place being so attractive, the foods, the presentation and the service was far below what you'd expect from a nice cafe-bakery. A huge disappointment.

    I was here last last Sunday and had a great experience...fast, polite service, beautifully…read morepresented food and nice ambiance. Today, not so much. Ironically, I went here because I rarely get out to eat and the service has always been consistent. 1. There was no one at the cash register and an employee who was just about to go on break took my order. He was polite enough but I found out later that he put in the wrong order. 2. There were no tables that I saw that were wiped off. Some had the dishes removed but I needed to wipe off a table. 3. A cockroach scrambled across the floor near my table to the left of the coffee station. I wish I was joking, or seeing things but I wasn't the only person who saw it. One of the female employees went toward it and stepped on it but since it was headed toward my table, I moved. 4. It was really hot in there. Maybe not AC completely broken hot, but AC on the struggle bus hot. There was a large fan in the back dining room that wasn't doing much of anything except redistributing humidity. 5. I ordered an avocado toast with bacon and got delivered a grilled cheese sandwich. The server took it back but then I needed to ask for the bacon. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture because the same dish on Sunday was so elaborate and beautifully presented and the same order today was just meh. Not a good value for the price. I will say the server correcting someone else's mistake was clearly overwhelmed but doing her best. She was also the cockroach killer. I ate my lunch and read my book. My intention had been to linger a while and read but I decided to leave. The place was about 1/4 full when I left but all the tables still had crumbs, food debris and water on them made it too unpleasant to stick around. Very disappointing. I don't see myself going back any time soon. I do love their bread but I'm sure I can find someplace more pleasant or go to the downtown location instead.

    I am shocked I have not yet written a review for Boba Baba, when I go all the time!…read more I am a huge fan of their strawberry matcha, and more recently, of their butterfly fresca! Both drinks are delicious, and bonus points for also offering lactose-free/plant milk! But be warned, they do not offer the plant milk for certain drinks, since some are pre-mixed. Definitely ask before ordering! I would also highly recommend the puff pastries and mochi donuts! I had to search through my photos to find my favs: the ube puff pastry & the strawberry mochi donut. The puff pastry is a large portion, and heavier, so you can definitely share. The mochi donut is nice and light, so these are better to get more than one flavor to try.

    I'd give this place a solid 3.5 stars--round up to 4 stars for nice customer service. Living in NC,…read morethere really isn't an abundant amount of boba places to venture to, but it seems like this place is highly recommended by college students and local boba enthusiasts. Being so used to many boba options back in CA, it kind of makes it feel weird to struggle to find a boba place nearby. The location is pretty convenient for college kids or adults to chill with friends. Lots of tables and even a shelf with some board games you could play if you had an hour or two to pass in the area. I can't remember the name of the drink, but I remember it having butterfly pea and lemon... or yuzu. Drink is aesthetically pleasing, but I'm not sure if I tasted what the drink mentioned. Still, nice attempt at being trendy with the boba menu. Maybe they're known for their milk teas here? It was quite busy when we can on a Saturday evening before closing. :) Drinks took around 10 ish minutes to make, but staff were quick to take orders and make drinks. If I remember correctly, there were two people working that day-- least in the front!

    Feng Cha is an excellent, tea forward boba tea shop. I am a big tea snob and need to taste the tea…read moreflavor over all the sugar and toppings and Feng Cha really delivers. They're one of the few places Ive been to that offers lactaid as a milk option and I truly believe lactaid is the best milk for milk teas, so I absolutely love this option. The staff is very pleasant and kind, however they weren't very knowledgeable about tea. When I asked what type of black tea they used, all 3 employees were perplexed and said "it just says black." Upon tasting it, I could tell it was Ceylon, which is one of my favorites, but I do think the employees should work on being a bit more educated on their products. The store itself was setup really great for a group of a few friends and sit and chat while they drink their tea, however the chairs and tables were definitely "used", if you will. Not falling apart but a bit grubby. Overall, the tea quality is so good and the atmosphere good enough that Ill keep going back.

    Tried Feng Cha's new Ube Matcha latte for the first time, which cost around $8 with the boba at 75%…read moresugar level, and I was slightly dissatisfied. First, here are the positives: + Combination of ube and matcha give the drink a Dubai chocolate-like taste. + Fast and more friendly (compared to a few times before customer service. + Relaxing atmosphere with bright and welcoming decorations. And here's a major negative: - For an $8+ drink (including boba), the size just does not justify it. Base price without boba is around $7 but wish they included a free topping already. Compare that to Bobo Baba - which has similar price range - you just get more bang for your buck there. Would I order this again? 50% sure just to let my wife and her mother taste it for content. But me? I might stick to Feng Cha's brown sugar and mango drinks, which were more satisfying.
