Coconut refresher
Victoria K.

This place is amazing. The owners and their kids are wonderful, the ambiance is so cool, the decor is modern-meets-cultural. Every drink or food item I've ever gotten here has been top notch. My favorites are the coconut refresher and the curry chicken croissant. Holy moly, delicious. Pictured is my half drunken refresher because I forgot to take a picture before I started guzzling it down. It's a really beautiful lavender/violet color with a pink flavor layer on the bottom. Beats Starbucks everytime. The croissants here are huge and the curry chicken is perfect - not spicy or overwhelming, just packed with flavor. Love this place! Highly recommend.

Plenty of room to meet

When drinking coffee becomes an aesthetic experience. Jebena Cafe in Waxhaw is the whole experience from fine Ethiopian coffee to ample room to sit and talk!

Saturday afternoon south of everywhere and I can get a regular drip coffee? came across an outburst…read moreof modern life as I was running out of coffee and figured I should while I could so I did and got a cannoli along with... really would have been satisfied with open and today's coffee so even in the middle of pre-closing side work this was way way better. coffee was recent and good but needed a little reheat which meant blasting my traveler with the frother-steamy thing from the cappuccino-ator... and that was the absolute crazy thing for the month. SO. COOL!!! ...other than that it's a nice enough spot for a cup of goodness and a bite in what will soon be a sea of humanity but for now is still a stone's throw off :-) pleasant, helpful help, comfortable surroundings, and open on Saturday afternoon.

I've been visiting for the last 2 years, and recently, there seems to have been an ownership change. I assure you, they still serve up the same delicious high-qaulity baked goods. It's always an amazing customer experience and we end up picking up way too many pastries! The spinach pastry, as well as the strawberry and cheese are highly recommended. Flaky, crusty, perfection. If you appreciate baked goods made on site, throughout the day, definitely check out Java. I think going fresh makes all the difference and keeps me coming back for more.

Just visited The Union Exchange and what a great little spot. We came on a Sunday around noon and…read moreit was pretty quiet, probably because of the time of day. I heard later in the afternoon they have live music and a lot more of a vibe, but honestly it was perfect for my friends and me. They have fishing, a park for kids, games, animals, food, picnic tables, and lots of open space to run around. Very family-oriented and such a nice outdoor experience. We really don't have many places like this in Miami, so I genuinely enjoyed myself. I didn't try the lemonade this time, but I did get an iced coffee and it was delicious. Next time I'm trying the lemonade, it comes in these mini buckets and looked super refreshing with a bunch of flavor options. If I'm not mistaken, parking was free (maybe because it was Sunday), and if you plan to fish, you do need to get a wristband and pay. Don't try to sneak around it because they will come find you pay your dues ;)

So this place has plenty of parking. I feel like you will never not find a spot. It was easy to…read morefind. They offer kids activity like the farm animals, hayride and the playground. Their shop I feel like is a little small so when it's busy, can be hard and crowded inside. I do like that they offer different things like bakery items, coffee, ice cream and wine. It was a cute neat spot to go to to hang out with friends and family. Do like that they have real bathroom versus some other places have porter potty.

Really great, local café that I will absolutely be adding to my regular coffee shop + bakery…read morerotation. Plentiful parking out front. Good amount of seating inside (mostly 2-seaters; one larger table reserved for bigger groups). Helpful and friendly staff who were amazing with my little one. You have to try a slice of the basque cheesecake. The plain slice (with no whipped cream or fruit topping) is not overly sweet and the perfect amount of "burnt" & creamy. We also tried the madeleines, which - as the café's name suggests - were on point. And the garlic bagel is a garlic + cream cheese lover's dream. The iced dalgona latte was such a treat. Sweet with a creamy foam and topped with crunchy cookies - very well balanced and delightful to drink. The prices reflect the care and high quality of the products. Come support this amazing local spot and enjoy their unique, thoughtful offerings!

I brought my daughter to Littl Madeleine's for breakfast, and we had a really nice experience.

She got their garlic bagel--the only type of bagel they offer - and it was generously stuffed with delicious, aromatic garlic. She enjoyed it! The café is decorated charmingly, with little Madeleine cookie designs stamped throughout the space. They have a small section with some gift items for sale. They also sell Madeleine cookies, of course, though we didn't get any. The service was given with genuine smiles. The prices were normal - not a deal but not over-the-top. We enjoyed our breakfast and will happily come back!
