Stepping in here made me feel like Alice in Wonderland. The unassuming exterior opens up into high,…read moreindustrial-like ceilings and rooms upon rooms of vintage/boutique gifts. I'm not sure if they do consignment style shops within the gift shop, or if it's all under the same business, but it's arranged in a bunch of mini sections that all kind of have a different aesthetic. It was a bit maze-like, but I have no doubt they sell something in here for everyone. Like the gift shop, the bakery had huge variety. Who knew there were so many types of cake? I ended up getting a carrot cake latte and a heart shaped macaron. It was only after I had ordered my latte with oat milk, checked out (including paying the up-charge for oat milk), and waited several minutes that they told me they were out of oat milk. This was disappointing, as I paid my extra for the oat milk, yes, but also because I don't really want a latte in general without it. Regardless, it was too late, so I just told them to do it with 2%. The latte was okay but I didn't love it. It mostly tasted sweet and like cinnamon. Which I guess is more or less what carrot cake tastes like? The menu said it came with a cream cheese cold foam or whipped cream (I don't remember which) but it came out with plain whipped cream. The espresso was a little bitter - maybe burnt or shocked. The macaron was gorgeous, but didn't have a macaron taste or texture. It was hard like cookie. A macaron should be light and airy, and the shell should almost collapse under a bite. I had to chomp through this one. I am not sure if it was stale, a bad batch, or if their "macarons" are just "macaron shaped cookies" by design.

It is good to be back in High Point! Now as a retiree. To celebrate our first morning back, and the…read morefact that I forgot to pack our cream, DeBeen was literally my first morning stop. Their specialty coffees continue to rock and reaffirm: "Friends don't let Friends drink Starbuck's!!!" I love this sticker on their counter. Always friendly and attentive service.

I've since moved to Greensboro, so it's been a while, but as soon as I walked through the door and caught a whiff of coffee and their delicious baked goods, I was reminded why this was my favorite coffee shop in HP. Debeen Espresso is a charming, female-owned local gem that combines the art of great coffee with delicious, in-house gluten free and vegan baked goods. From the moment you step inside, the inviting atmosphere and warm smiles from the baristas set the tone for a great experience. I had the pleasure of trying their banana walnut muffin, and let me just say--it was the moistest muffin I've ever tasted. The balance of banana, walnut, and spice was perfect, and it paired wonderfully with my almond milk latte. There's an array of gluten free and vegan muffin and cookie options as well as additional treats (overnight oats, carrots and hummus, etc) in the fridge. It's clear that Debeen Espresso takes pride in not just the quality of their coffee, but in everything they do. The service was fast and friendly and the shop itself is cozy, with plenty of comfortable seating both inside and out. We opted to sit on the outdoor patio, where additional seating provides a chance to enjoy the fresh air while sipping your favorite drink. Adjacent to Debeen is Pure Light Yoga, creating the perfect opportunity to sip, savor, and even savasana--all in one visit. Whether you're there for a quiet moment away or catching up with a friend, Debeen Espresso offers a unique and relaxing space where you can really enjoy your experience. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this cozy spot with its delicious drinks, healthy treats and welcoming vibe.

He was very friendly and very personable. You can tell he absolutely loves his city and coffee. He was just phenomenal. Several regulars stopped in and he knew them by name. They were equally as excited and praised his coffee. They had me super excited and glad that I stopped by. He does not sell prepared coffee drinks in the shop, but did recommend local bakeries and cafes that did. BTW, Dots & Pearls was one he recommended and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! He sales coffee beans. This is a roastery, so you're getting fresh roasted beans from some of the most notable coffee regions in the country. It is awesome. I purchased a bag of Sumatra dark roast and a big bottle of chai concentrate. My partner said the chai is delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend that you stop by and chat it up with the owner and of course purchase some high quality coffee. I definitely cannot wait to come back to High Point. Oh yeah, you can purchase the coffee online!!

We were there doing some behind-the-scenes content, and the space was welcoming, calm, and perfect for both conversation and getting things done. Drink-wise, everything was on point. The Honey Ginger Chai was smooth and comforting, especially with almond milk and a nice froth. The blueberry muffin (warmed) was simple but really good--sometimes that's all you need. My cappuccino, the José Conseco, truly lived up to its name: bold, smooth, and flavorful without needing any added sugar. That alone says a lot about the quality of their coffee. What stood out most is that Chi Rho really proves you don't need a lot of sugar or extra additives to make a great cup of coffee. The flavors speak for themselves. Whether you're stopping in for a family coffee run, a casual meeting, or just want a quality cup in a relaxed environment, this is definitely a spot worth visiting. We'll absolutely be back.

This is a solid bubble tea joint for High Point. We had the following: * Strawberry & Blueberry Smoothie ($7.50) * Passionate Kiss Fruit Tea ($3.75) - half off because of happy hour * Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea ($7.25) The drinks tasted fresh and well-made. Quality was good for both the tea and boba. We happened to get one of the drinks half-off because we visited during happy hour. Happy hour is Tuesday-Friday, 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. My nieces were immediately drawn to the two arcade games (claw machines) at the front of the store. They have foosball too. There's a decent amount of seating inside making this not a bad spot to meet up with friends/family. Lots of free parking in a dedicated lot too. Located next door to 98 Asian Bistro.

They have a large variety of drinks from bubble tea, fruit tea, coffee, etc to snacks to eat with it. I particularly enjoy their rolled ice creams as you can order their signature rolls or customize them to your preference. I believe they also serve crepes, but have not had it yet. The shop is small and has seating along with board games that you can play while you are there. The service is ok as well, haven't had any issues with the service. They are quick to get your order to you, but if they are busy it may be a slightly longer wait time which is to be expected. Overall I recommend coming here to get your quick bubble tea fix or to hang out with your friends.

We stumbled upon this bakery on a whim when walking around the parking lot looking at other things…read more Even though we were about to go eat dinner, we stopped in for a treat. I was pretty taken aback by how many dessert options they had. Not only did they have a plethora of types of desserts, but they had sooo many flavors/varieties of each one. A dozen different variations of cheesecakes, several cupcake varieties, a dozen different kinds of macarons, several different cakes, tiramisu, tres leches, banana pudding, edible cookie dough, more cookies than I could name, brownies, eclairs, and more that I'm sure I have forgotten. If you can name it, I'm sure they have it. I've been looking for somewhere nearby to get a proper macaron (as opposed to a hard, macaron shaped cookie without the traditional texture) at a reasonable price point. This definitely met those criteria, so of course we tried a flower shaped macaron. It had the perfect, delicate cookie and that classic, light almondy flavor. We also had a brownie batter cookie, which was delicious and reminds me of something I would have saved on Pinterest a decade ago but never gotten around to making, much less as well as they do. Though there was a line inside, we were served super quickly by friendly staff, and found a nice seat outside in the sun. They also had abundant indoor seating.

The term "hidden gem" can be thrown around often, but this place is truly hidden and really a gem. Tucked inside the Carolina Core Center, you'd never know it was there even if you drive right past the building. It only makes the discovery that much better. Everything was exceptional. The woman behind the counter was warm, funny, and one of those people who instantly lifts your mood. I ordered the Shaken Hazelbee (espresso, honey, hazelnut, oat milk), and it was perfect. It was actually stirred not shaken, and I wish I caught the barista's name because she was classic. As a James Bond fan, I couldn't stop laughing when she said, "As 007 would say, this is shaken not stirred. So this being stirred not shaken, he must go as 700." That absolutely made my day. Coffee was spot on, service was incredible, but the real standout is the space itself. This is easily one of the most relaxing and serene spots anywhere in the Triad. It's huge, with multiple rooms for working, unwinding, or hanging out with friends. Comfortable couches everywhere, quiet corners for privacy, soothing music, and a large covered and cozy patio. The lake and waterfall right next to it take the ambiance to another level. If you want a peaceful, beautiful spot far from the hustle and bustle of chain coffee shops, come here. You will truly enjoy it.
