I fell in love with Thousand Hills the moment I walked in. The decor is so beautiful and there are…read moreso many comfy places to sit as well as tables inside and outside. It's located alongside the leasing office for the apartment complex. The service is great. There were two young ladies working and they were both friendly. I arrived around 4:30 on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and ordered a muffin and a decaf latte since it was so late (for me to drink caffeine). The cranberry lemon muffin was absolutely perfect, so much flavor, so fresh & moist. The Salted Brown Butter Latte was the best. From the first sip to the last drop, I loved it. I sat on a small section of a very comfortable couch with pillows and all. I later sat out front on one of the benches. They also have a patio seating out back. I can't wait to go back to Thousand Hills!!

We happened upon this coffee shop on a day trip to the triangle area. Parking is very limited near…read morethe coffee shop. It's a very busy place. Inside there was seating and space for whatever you're looking for. Chairs, sofas, meeting spaces, and outdoor seating. It's a large coffee shop. We waited in line and ordered our coffees. A few minutes later we received our beverages. We found a couple chairs with a small table in between. The table was dirty so I asked for a towel or rag to clean the table with. I received confused looks from the two employees that were standing behind the counter. They didn't have a rag to clean with so they told me to use wet napkins to clean the table. The response wasn't what I expected, but I got the impression the employees don't clean this establishment. They had no idea what to do. Kind of strange. I used water and a pile of napkins to clean everything off onto the floor. Other than that, the coffee and atmosphere were good. Not sure we'll return. It is a cool place though.

Take a left at the beginning of the produce section, and you go into a nice pretty niche of the store. Pretty long line for checkout, but the service was fast and friendly. Nice looking cake displays and good lighting. I ordered the two cakes in pics, a mocha roll cake, and a nice French bread. All super delicious. Only reason not 5 stars is that it's noir cheap. For those items it was 130 bucks.

My first thought was that it was SO orangey, the first bite was like eating an actual orange itself. It was very citrusy and didn't taste too sweet which was unfortunate because it looks very sweet. I also think it's rather small for $10 and it would've been more worth it had it tasted amazing. The presentation was beautiful but the taste was lacking. I'm open to coming again and trying something else but the orange cream piece didn't do it for me.

Milos Morning Bite 16.90…read more Vegetarian. Toasted focaccia, smashed avo, smashed egg, goat cheese, spring mix. The bread was really good with this slight crisp. I think the avocado and the goat cheese compliments egg really good. It could do with a little more flavor to pair with the spring mix. May introduce me to this cafe and from what I heard they are quite known for their focaccia bread. I also tried a bit of my friend French toast and it was really good but not too sweet. From the outside it looks very simple and you might catch it just passing by. This place seems to be always busy and seats fill up fast. You order at front and take a number to your table. It's is on a slightly pricier side but the quality I think it's worth it. I think I'm not sure that they make the focaccia themselves.

There was only one person working out front, but it was a very slow Friday. Definitely shouldn't have taken as long as it did. We placed our order, we were then notified they ran out of oolong tea. At this point we had already waited close to 20 minutes for our drink so we decided to wait the extra 5-7 minutes for the tea to be finished. We ended up leaving the spot 34 minutes after placing our order. Used to come here once a week, but will probably avoid it for a while. There were a few other people who had issues with their order during the time we waited in the store too. A man waited 20 mins only for his order to not have been properly placed by the kiosk.

A great spot to work from or grab a coffee with a friend with cozy corners & a friendly atmosphere. Also can we take a moment for the Ube cloud?? Never had Ube before, & was used to Matcha tasting like grass- 1000% recommend stopping in for this alone to try something new (especially with the Spring weather rolling in)!

From the owners to the baristas, everyone is so friendly, and so intentional. They always remember me. Special shoutout to Matthew!! It's super cute inside, cozy, yet spacious. You can grab a table or sit on a comfy couch. I dream about their coffee, it's so amazing. I make sure I try a different latte every visit! Sad to say I've only had the salmon salmon & capers toast, but I loved every bite. The next chance I get to sit in and enjoy my visit, I'm trying another toast. The pastries are super yummy as well. They also have matcha, teas, cocoa and a variety of cold beverages. I went in today and they now feature local artisans goodies. I purchased a bag of Chad's Carolina Corn, Gourmet Popcorn. If you're ever even remotely in the area, you have to stop by and experience Simmer House for yourself.

Bottom line: I enjoyed my Tri-Fecta breakfast meal here. The chicken apple sausage patties were a…read moreparticularly good part of it, along with the scrambled eggs and multigrain pancake. Positive helpful service. I would avoid the crowded times as I could see this area getting loud with the acoustics there. The Deets: Looking for a change from the normal breakfast places I frequent, I chose First Watch down the road from me (located near The Bradford apartment complex in Cary). I had been there years ago but not gone back to this location since then so they were due for a visit. I was seated promptly upon entering with menus to take in while my beverages came to the table. This location has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well as well decorated for a breakfast chain but I can appreciate that when the indoor area gets more crowded, the acoustics can make for a loud atmosphere. They have a good selection from their regular menu as well as a seasonal menu with specials at that time. I went with the Tri-Fecta breakfast meal, which has two eggs any style, either a Belgian waffle/multigrain pancake, choice of bacon/smoked ham/chicken sausage patties/turkey or pork sausage links. I went with my eggs scrambled, one multigrain pancake, and the chicken apple sausage patties. I enjoyed my selection, a good well rounded breakfast. The scrambled eggs were done just as I like them as in not too runny, not too solid browned. The chicken apple sausage patties were a pleasant surprise in that I loved the taste here in that they were not overly spicy and had just enough apple to make it delicious but not sweet...I will definitely remember these in the future. The pancake was pretty fluffy and not dense, as well as a good sized pancake as well in that one was enough for me with all the other choices. My server was very pleasant and helpful (note that refills are taken care of here by a small carafe of coffee left at the table as well as a small bottle of water, as these were my beverage choices). One other observation, not sure why the few regular non-flavored Half-And-Halfs were at the bottom of the bowl on the table and only many all flavored one carefully arranged on very top, but regular ones were there if you dig for them. You can take your bill up front to pay or if choosing to pay at the table then you must do so by QR code (I am not a QR code fan, just never know what you are scanning out and about to be honest why I shy away from it...I have friends in IT security if you cannot tell...). There was a small wait for someone to come to the front register to check me out for paying. I enjoyed this breakfast stop for the most part here at this First Watch location and would visit again in the future but early as possible like this time, to avoid crowds.

Absolutely fantastic coffee shop. Clean, modern, and fun interior with plenty of seating options…read morefor all sorts of groups. There are tables inside and out (when the weather is good they even open the garage door so that it morphs into one large space), comfortable and ample seating, and even some fun multilevel bench style seats inside allowing for you to work, hang out with a small group, or even just quickly grab some coffee. The staff was friendly and service was prompt. The coffee options were plentiful, with options for whatever your preferences may be whether you're more of a coffee enthusiast looking for lighter roast to taste all the notes, or enjoy more flavored and decadent drinks. One thing that was an incredibly exciting surprise the last time I went were the whole beans they had for sale from Fritz Coffee (imported from Korea im pretty sure). I had to grab a bag despite them being a bit pricey as they were freshly roasted too (price was expected for something like that). A slight down point for me though was the food, got a couple chocolate chip cookies and they were very much not worth it. Overall though would highly recommend and will likely return, though do need to be careful of timings as there can be quite the rush due to high demand.

This must be one of the most popular…read morecoffee shops in the area because the line to the door or beyond the entire time I was there. I had the yogurt bowl and my customary black coffee. The yogurt was a large portion and was very good. Coffee was a little strong and bitter, probably designed to have additives rather than being drank black. Pairing with the yogurt made it taste a lot better though. Service was friendly and the prices were reasonable. It was a bit noisy inside, just because there were a lot of customers and everyone was talking. The store is clean and bright with a neat little riser on one side. My only complaint was that there were no refills. That's unusual for black, drip coffee.

Came here recently with my wife to check it out, and we had an OK experience…read more First, I was very impressed by the selection of meals in the fridge! So many different options, and everything seemed pretty healthy. We opted to order something fresh and hot for this visit, though - I got the buffalo chicken wrap with steamed broccoli on the side, while my wife got the chicken pesto wrap. It took a while to prepare the food, so I'm not sure it'd be a great idea to come when it's busy, but I guess that means it's truly cooked fresh, right? Anyway, we brought it home and dug in. Honestly, my buffalo chicken wrap was pretty mediocre. Not the worst one I've ever had but I think I could buy something pretty similar in any grocery store. The steamed broccoli on the side was pretty gross - it was burnt and had no seasoning. My wife also thought her food was meh. I was honestly excited by this place, but I'm not sure it's tasty enough to revisit frequently. Overall, it was a little disappointing.

To be fair, they were out of nitro and asked if I wanted cold brew. They shouldn't have even bothered -- just say you're out -- because what I got was the equivalent of a coffee-flavored water.

And yes, it came without ice but still managed to be watered down.
