A mural in the coffee shop.
Kiki H.

Parking was easy to find, today. It's in the mall across from H & M, lower level of Crabtree Valley Mall. The customer service was upbeat and friendly. All smiles. I ordered a white chocolate, cherry chiller. It was very tasty. The coffee shop was clean and spacious. They offer seating if you want to enjoy your coffee inside. I can't wait to try other flavors. I haven't been to Gloria Jean's since they were in North Hills over 20 years ago. I signed up for their rewards and went straight to the mall for some coffee. I will be returning soon.

the entrance to the store

The coffee kiosk is located inside a gas station. Nothing wrong with that but it is helpful if there are no pictures or is mentioned here. The service was quick

I was in town for work this week and wanted to stop by the mall. Had to catchup on work and found this cafe in the directory. Grabbed a hot tea for only ~$2 for a large, absolutely delicious and awesome. The barista was also so sweet and kind when I also asked for the wifi. Highly recommend this place if you need a place to stop by for a quick coffee/tea run or if you are looking to study/catch up on work since there are of small tables/booths/seating available. There are also outlets for charging laptops and phones!!

There's a little hole in the wall at the bottom floor of the mall across H&M. This small local coffee shop is warm, cozy, and serves EXCELLENT coffee. Prices are similar to starbucks, but quality is SO MUCH BETTER! the customer service is great which we need so much more of these days. Everything is fresh and delicious. Come support!

I had an Ice Coffee that was so good. I told them to fix as if I was an investor and BABYYY they delivered. Don't ask me what I got cause all I can say is that I got heaven in a cup!!

Dirty chai with oat milk

Great service by "Big Joe". Came in after a rough experience at the Apple store, and needed a place to jump on a couple work calls. He had such a great attitude and was super kind, actually he kind of got me pumped up for my call! It was also a nice quiet spot for me to handle a couple of meetings at too! Thanks Big Joe, you rock

Cappuccino hall of shame.
Lars D.

I have had some bad coffee in my travels, but the cappuccino I ordered here comes close to the top of the list. The milk was burned and had an overwhelming taste an d aroma of burnt plastic and dirt. The espresso was way over extracted and tasted the way burning oil smells. I can usually choke down a bad coffee for my caffeine fix, but Gloria Jean's successfully made a coffee so bad that even a 10 cup a day drinker like myself couldn't get it down.

The customer service was good but highly disappointed with the coffee. I expected a step up from Dunkin' Donut but, not really.

We just left this coffee shop, maybe 10 minutes ago and I had to leave a review ASAP…read more First, the aesthetic is so calming. Music not too loud, vibes were so chill. The barista was a vibe because we love a casual chat. Mind you, this is our first time coming here. I ordered the Stacy and he ordered Life's A Peach. We also ordered food, 2 different breakfast sandwiches and from the first bite, you know what I immediately tasted? SEASONING. Let me preface this by we bop around to so many different shops to try food and coffee and this exceeded our expectations. Whoever made the sandwiches seasoned these eggs to perfection and please know that we appreciate it so much. Like foreal. 5 stars. Vibes. Food. Delicious. Seasoned. Round of applause! We will be back!

Cute coffee shop near Crabtree Mall. The location is unassuming in a office complex, however I was…read morepleasantly surprised walking in to see how nicely it was decorated with a large outdoor patio. I got an iced oat milk latte with housemade almond syrup. The quality of the coffee was great with just a slight hint of almond. Some of their syrups are made in house and others are not, so be sure the look at the menu. The Raleigh Coffee Passport brought me here, so I was able to use the discount. However the latte was over $7 full price which was a little steep for the size - but again the quality and taste were great

Just wanted to take the time to clap for the staff here…read more I've only been here twice now. But both times the service was SO fast. I came here on a week day and it was packed but the kitchen seemed steady. Their service is very stream lined with pagers for food orders. There is a lot of seating but it also seems to be a place where a good chunk of people come to work. They have a library inside as well and the books at the time were all $3 ea. Today I came and it's a Sunday. As expected they were SLAMMED. Line to the door of people waiting and line to the door of people ordering. I still got my coffee in less than 5 min. People waiting on food were getting theirs in similar time. The staff was killing it! They have a large selection of baked goods (lots of laminated dough), fast casual breakfast & lunch, and a huge coffee menu. They also have gluten free options for food and about a dozen gf/df baked goods. They said they have separate prep space and changed gloves for gluten free food but it's a shared oven. I didn't have any issues though. To who ever is managing your kitchen and staff, you're doing a great job. To the staff, hats off Highly recommend this place for a light breakfast and good coffee, or just a good place to hang out on your laptop.

NORA greets you with a warm, friendly vibe the second you step up to the café. Folks outside are…read moreusually sipping their favorite NORA coffee, and most of the time, every chair is full! Obviously it's a favorite spot for catching up with friends over drinks and pastries. Step inside and the mood shifts to something cozy. There's plenty of room to get work done or browse a good book while you enjoy your drink. The coffee and treats are great. If I could suggest one tweak, it's that the place gets pretty crowded--I'd love to see even more space!

Sometimes all you need is a clean place with good lighting and great tasting coffee. This is it for…read moreme on a Sunsay afternoon! I chose this place to catch up with a friend at, and it was my first time bringing my baby outnso I was a bit nervous, but the place looked super clean and roomy. Which are both necessities for a mom bringing a little baby in a stroller. While I read in a review that someone mentioned about this location not having a cozy feel, it really depends on what a person is looking for in a coffeeshop. If you need good coffee and a good space to catch up with a friend or get some work done in a clean setting, this is perfect. If you are looking for aesthetics, well there is no art or knicknacks that give ither coffeeshops character but I don't feel this place needs it. It is clean and inviting on its own and as someone who is slightly claustrophobic this place is awesome with the amount of seating it has (Nora cafe in comparison was a place that frustrated me so much due to it being hard to find seating at all). I ordered the pistachio flavored matcha which tasted tasted amazing (first time tasting so much of the nutty flavor come out in a pistachio drink), and I also got the Norwegian pancake with banana and Nutella + hashbrown. Such an awesome afternoon combo! My baby was also quite relaxed for most of the visit as well which speaks volumes!

Upon entry the store - it felt like a cozy spot to have a bite to eat and a cup of coffee with a friend or to study. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Each time was made fresh and quickly. During my visit there weren't a lot of people - so I am not sure how service speed would be on an extremely busy day. I ordered a build it your self sandwich that came out to about $10. The cost of food and the quality - I felt it was worth the pricing. Will be back to taste some of the other food items and coffee.
