So we thought we would order one to drink there and one to microwave in the morning. I ordered two medium-sized breve lattes, (oh wait a minute, they don't do breve so they had to use whole milk), with an extra shot in each. My total was $17. My sister got the same thing. The coffee tasted like watered down milk with maybe a quarter cup of instant coffee in it. It was awful! We threw both cups out. $34 literally down the drain. The clerk was very snippy with me when I asked for breve, telling me they didn't have half-and-half or cream. She also seemed bothered that I was adding an extra shot and that I had her break down the cost for me, since the total amount was much more than the signage. If visiting Pittsboro, I suggest you go to Metal Brixx Café. Best coffee ever, and when you ask for an extra shot, each shot is a double shot.

We stopped in on a Friday afternoon, thinking places would be open for lunch; many of the bars and restaurants don't open during the weekday until later for dinner time. So definitely make sure to check hours of operation of the individual food/drink places. We were able to grab a drink at one of the bars at lunch and the Jamaican spot on the property. And also visited the Meadery. This is such a great idea and I hope more outdoor food hall type venues start popping up around the country. We need more cool off the beaten path places like The Plant. 9/10 recommend.

The owners, Mark and Dawn clearly show their love for coffee, NC, and travel. They have their blends listed on the website along with a sampler box. Order whole beans or ground to various degrees. We are looking forward to trying some of their other blends!
