I found Garden Bar here on Yelp and went on a Saturday. They are not too crowded and the bar is…read morenear the front. Great prices for a nice mimosa or beer to enjoy while shopping and you get to keep the cute cup. The staff were all extremely helpful and guided me through their greenhouse helping me find things that suited my needs. They had a private party in a room off to the side that is semi-private. I could see a bit and it was very cute and a nice size for hosting. There were not many plants outside on the front and the greenhouse was nicely stocked but not full. So some may consider the selection a bit small, but it was still nice. They had tons of beautiful pottery and lots of supplies to also choose from. The prices on some of the plants seemed high for other places in the area I've seen the same or similar. I would definitely come back!

It will definitely be on my route. Be sure to check this place out.

Incredible coffee, and I loved the aesthetic! I got the strawberry creme latte (hot version), and…read moreit was fantastic! My partner got the iced version--which was somehow even better than the warm version. I don't like my coffee drinks too sweet, and they struck exactly the right balance. It tasted like there was real strawberry (and not just a super-sweet syrup). Unlike many coffee shops, they gave us a number to bring to our table, so we didn't need to stand around and wait for our coffee to be ready. Instead, they brought it to our table for us. This was such a nice touch! There's a good amount of seating inside, but we sat outside since it was such a nice day. Can't wait to go back & try an iced americano or drip coffee to try out some of their different roasts.

Where to begin with iris coffee lab? The ordering experience was streamlined, and there was ample…read moreindoor and outdoor seating. Unfortunately, this is probably because the chairs were the equivalent of sitting on a guitar pick. The rest of the decor similarly resembled a mid-century modern insane asylum. All this is child's play compared to the drinks. I was hoping they would redeem the experience. I was rooting for you, iris coffee lab. The matcha left me wanting more. I couldn't taste even a whisper of matcha flavoring, and the price was laughable for a glass of green milk. When my flat white arrived, I felt that twinkle return to my eye. Sadly, about 3 sips later, as I neared the end of my beverage I was shocked to discover a texture component I was not expecting. After a lot of contemplation, I have decided I am not a fan of coffee grounds swirling around my mouth. The customers are hip and trendy, the employees exceedingly friendly and speedy, the drinks bespoke and innovative, but I think we need to cut out the frills and go back to the basics. Why play 3D chess when you've yet to master tic tac toe? I think the experience was net neutral, but for how steep the pricing is, I feel it's my duty to let the world know what they're getting into.

The perfect coffee roaster might actually exist -- and it might be Black & White Coffee Roasters in…read moredowntown Raleigh. I'm a big fan of lighter-roasted, funky, expressive coffees, and Black & White absolutely delivers. Their roasting style leans into vibrant, fruit-forward profiles, and they do it with confidence. The downtown Raleigh location is fantastic too. It's right in the middle of everything, making it a great stop for a date night, meeting up with friends, or just dropping in for a quick but exceptional cup. Their seasonal menu was small but mighty -- just a couple of options -- but the kind where every drink looks so good you wish they'd never rotate them off the menu. I started with the orange cardamom flat white, and it was perfect in every way. Beautifully presented and incredibly balanced. The espresso, milk, orange, and cardamom all complemented each other without any one flavor taking over. It was nuanced, aromatic, and just a joy to drink. For my second drink, I ordered a Rodrigo Sanchez pour-over, a co-fermented Colombian coffee labeled with passion fruit notes. It was everything I want from a pour-over -- bright, juicy, and expressive, with the kind of sweet stone fruit and berry notes that make light-roasted coffee so exciting. Black & White continues to prove why they're one of the most respected specialty roasters around. If you love adventurous coffee with huge flavor and careful execution, this place is an absolute must-visit.

Stopped by Brew Coffee Bar while working in Cary and it turned out to be a great, convenient find…read more There's plenty of parking in the shopping center, which makes getting in and out easy. When you walk inside, you're greeted by a large, open space with a clean, minimalist design that feels modern without being cold. The menu is where this place stands out. There are a lot of fun choices, including several unique options you don't see at most coffee spots, which makes it worth exploring beyond your usual order. I kept it simple and went with a red eye, and it delivered--good, solid coffee with the extra kick you want when you're in the middle of a workday. Overall, a convenient stop with a cool atmosphere and a menu that brings something a little different to the table. Definitely a good spot to keep in mind if you're in the Cary area.

We came here looking to try a new coffee place, unfortunately Brew is just OK. The size of the…read morecoffee they give you is TINY!! Look at my boyfriend's hand for comparison. It's about 4 sips for $5. Pretty disappointing as they only offer one size. We had the avocado toast which was good, but, for $11 it's not quite worth the price. We spent almost $40 here for the two of us (2 drinks and 2 avocado toasts) and it is NOT worth the price point. Bigger sizes are definitely needed for the coffees. Overall, nothing special.

I love to grab a bag of beans to bring home with me too. They always have fun specialty drinks - I came recently and got the Coco Loco. I will say their coffee at the coffee shop is a little stronger than what I typically make so prepare to be adequately buzzed.

Coffee was excellent and delicious, so that's a 5 star in my book. We ordered an iced caramel with…read moreoat and an iced vanilla with oat. Their vanilla was homemade but because they use the 1893 syrups or whatever I loved the caramel WAY more! Their pumpkin poptart was good, but it would've been better warmed up.

I will admit, I always get their raspberry latte but that's because it is always SO GOOD. This time I got it iced because the weather was nice and warm. Absolutely delicious.

Minimalist but chic. Clean. Not too loud or noisy. You can get service at your table. Everyone was nice. It's not totally like a traditional waitstaff, as they don't come by as often, but still helpful and around when I needed something. The cocktails were good - I had the honey bourbon smash. It was well made. So much so I had two! For food, these are shareable small plates. Morning truly felt like a meal. The food came out fast and was hot/fresh. I had the crab claws, crispy shrimp and dumplings. The crab claws were delicious. Lots of them too. Served with bread I didn't use. The crispy shrimp were nice large shrimp and a spicy sauce with rice. I ended up using the rice with the crab claw sauce. And the dumplings were ok but I didn't eat many of them. They were my least favorite. I would come back to enjoy coffee and breakfast, but doubt I come back for dinner.

(So be prepared to wait--and maybe know what you want to order so you're ready when you get to the register.) Before heading out of town, a friend and I were recommended to pop into Sonder for the coffee flight. When we were ready to order, we were advised that they only had enough cups for one iced coffee flight, but they could do a hot coffee flight. Both wanting iced, we opted to get a regular sized coffee and smoothie bowl to go. Though disappointed about the inability to try the (iced) coffee flight, the lattes we did order and my friend's smoothie bowl were delicious! We will definitely be going back to try out their new location and the coffee flight!

The food looked as good as it tasted. The pastry was fresh, warm, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. It paired perfectly with the wine. The wine list was wonderful. There were plenty of options, and it felt well chosen, not overwhelming. The rosé we had was crisp and light, which worked great for lunch. Service stayed attentive without rushing anything. Overall, this spot works well for a laid back but elevated girls lunch.
