    Sausage egg and cheese biscuit
    Haley B.

    This place is amazing! I ordered a sausage egg & cheese biscuit and it was absolutely incredible. The prices are reasonable and the portion size was more than enough. There was quite the wait but it's because it was a very busy Sunday; totally worth the wait either way. Next time I have to try the coffee. I'll be back!

    Ordered the seasonal Matcha cucumber spritz and an egg and cheese biscuit. The biscuit has a slight sweetness to it and added to the overall flavor of the biscuit. Great breakfast sandwich. The choices of breakfast items and flavors of biscuits was really impressive. They did have outdoor seating both at the front and rear of the restaurant. The matcha cucumber spritz was not my favorite, next time I'll stick to a regular matcha latte. Overall, this is a great coffee shop with more than coffee.

    Great coffee and tea! The service was friendly and the lines moved along rather quickly. Will be back to try other food menu items

    Jubala is located in Lafayette Village and has entry from both the parking lot and the courtyard sides. Parking at Lafayette village can be frustrating mid-day but there is a parking garage on the other side. I've been to Jubala twice and they've been packed both visits. However, they're very quick and efficient. The cashiers have always been nice and friendly, the baristas are definitely focused on their work. The iced mocha was delicious when I had it the first time. This visit, I had the iced coconut latte and while it was good, it didn't have any notes of coconut. I've never ordered food from here so I can't review that. The coffee is fine, nothing to rave about and not memorable, except for how pricey the coffee is for the size. I will say that this is a good place to meet up with friends and have a chat in the courtyard. It's very relaxing. On top of that, if you order food, the staff will bring it out to you which is such a nice perk.

    Jubala Coffee has been my new favorite coffee spot in the Raleigh area. The coffee there is amazing and tastes authentic. My favorite is their iced vanilla latte with an extra shot of vanilla syrup; I like mine more on the sweeter side, lol. The staff there is welcoming, and it's always a great experience with them. There's a reason why they're always busy: their team and coffee are the best! You can always expect me to go back and visit for an iced vanilla latte!

    The very first time I came in here is extremely crowded and very busy, which makes sense because they do make good coffee However, I left not feeling quite satisfied due to other things... Today when I went in to discuss with the person working the front counter, what I experience, she did not hesitate to make things right! Her name is Emma. She was super friendly had great recommendations & was extremely accommodating. The staff here are all friendly, young and vibrant I see a lot of people here working on their computers or catching up with friends. The building is energetic and I would definitely recommend this place to grab a quick coffee. Thank you, Emma for your outstanding customer service today because of the care you showed I will be coming back

    Peppermint mocha.
    Kevin B.

    Stopped at Jubala Coffee on a cold, winter morning in Raleigh looking for something to warm up with and this spot was perfect! Located in sort of a small shopping village, Jubala Coffee was packed with customers and made for a nice place to have a warm drink and a quick bite to eat. Not usually one to go for a specialty drink, the peppermint mocha was calling my name ('Tis the Season) and I am so glad that I went for it. The drink was artfully crafted and tasted delicious and helped warm the bones. The biscuits sounded too good to pass up and once again there was zero regret adding a biscuit into the mix. I opted for the biscuit with raspberry jam and the biscuit was the perfect amount of flaky balanced wit some texture and the warm biscuit with jam on it would be something you could eat every day and not grow tired of. Would definitely check out this place again if ever back in the Raleigh area!

    Iced Seasonal Latte and country ham biscuit
    Hayley P.

    I was blessed with a Jubala breakfast this morning, which is always a pleasure. Country ham, egg, and cheese sandwich was absolutely divine. I forgot that their biscuit has a sweeter taste to it, which mixed well. I didn't get pimento cheese this time but don't let that stop you - I've had it before on my biscuit and it's delicious. Then the seasonal latte - I'm a sucker for anything with coconut in it and one sip was all I needed to know this is now my favorite drink here. Surprised at how not busy it was coming in at 8am on a Friday. The staff was quick to get my food out and the noise level was moderate for a busy cafe. Once again, Jubala hits the spot.

    This coffee shop has an awesome, chill vibe with friendly people and excellent coffee. I love stopping by on Friday mornings to get some work done and treat myself to a tasty drink and snack.

    Turk Turkey Avocado, add bacon
    Jaime S.

    Jubala is a whole vibe!!! My daughter and I order the Turkey Avocado Sandwich (and add bacon) for takeout at least once a month, it's soooo good! When not ordering takeout, it's a great place to dine in and catch up with a friend, get some work done while having a good cup of coffee or tea, or sitting outside when the weather is nice and people watching. They have great food and great coffee, so fresh and full of flavor. The staff is friendly and attentive, you can get your order in a pretty decent time frame from ordering, even on the busiest of days.

    Hot turmeric tea
    Sarah M.

    Went to Jubala coffee today to enjoy a drink and bite while reading my book. My husband got the basic iced coffee and I got a hot turmeric tea. We also split one of their sweet biscuits with fresh blueberry compote. The coffee and tea were solid (we ordered pretty basic things and they were executed well). The biscuit was delicious as was the blueberry compote - the biscuit had a hint of sweetness and was a bit crumbly but not too much. The blueberry compote tasted fresh and sweet. We got our food and drinks quickly, so no complaints on the service. The main complaint I have is that this is not a relaxing environment - there was nonstop clanking and loud noises for the full 1.5 hours we were there. It was not a peaceful environment to relax and read a book. My husband had to blast music in his ears to be able to concentrate on his work amidst all the noise. I would recommend sitting outside if you want some more peace, weather permitted. We will likely be back to try their waffle and sandwiches, but will try to get outside seating next time.

    Fantastic coffee, great food, friendly staff. You can tell this place does it really well by the amount of customers here on a Saturday.

    Smoked sea salt caramel latte
    Sonia K.

    Checked out Jubala Coffee in the little France location for a warm drink on a cooler Raleigh day. I tried the smoked sea salt caramel latte, which the staff said was personally better than the iced. It was very yummy and had strong flavors per the name. My friend tried the hot chocolate. However, it was a little disappointing and tasted more like steamed milk with very little to no chocolate. The coffee shop itself is very nice, clean, and offers plenty of indoor seating.

    Over priced and not good coffee. Save your money and time. Better coffee at McDonald's.

    Just wanted to take the time to clap for the staff here…read more I've only been here twice now. But both times the service was SO fast. I came here on a week day and it was packed but the kitchen seemed steady. Their service is very stream lined with pagers for food orders. There is a lot of seating but it also seems to be a place where a good chunk of people come to work. They have a library inside as well and the books at the time were all $3 ea. Today I came and it's a Sunday. As expected they were SLAMMED. Line to the door of people waiting and line to the door of people ordering. I still got my coffee in less than 5 min. People waiting on food were getting theirs in similar time. The staff was killing it! They have a large selection of baked goods (lots of laminated dough), fast casual breakfast & lunch, and a huge coffee menu. They also have gluten free options for food and about a dozen gf/df baked goods. They said they have separate prep space and changed gloves for gluten free food but it's a shared oven. I didn't have any issues though. To who ever is managing your kitchen and staff, you're doing a great job. To the staff, hats off Highly recommend this place for a light breakfast and good coffee, or just a good place to hang out on your laptop.

It was crowded both times but the line moves quick and the service is fast! People come there with laptops to work, but I don't see how as it is very busy and noisy and crowded.

It's very large and the egg and bacon I get along with are always well prepared. My latte the first time was better than my second trip, but still solid. I also Got the banana bread with chocolate chips. It was a great size and served warm upon request. I would come here for the food and coffee, but the ambiance may not be for everyone.

    Y'all, why has it been so long since I've eaten here? I've been wanting fried chicken (yeah, I…read morecould cook it, but so much work), and then my daughter made herself a waffle the other night...........so I HAD to go. We got there around noon, and it was popping. I mean, it's a Wednesday and very busy, but no wait. We each got the chicken and waffles. My daughter had asked if they would give her regular butter, since she's not a fan of strawberries.............but she enjoyed the strawberry butter very much. I'm sure we could have split it, but nope, we each got it. Half a chicken, cut into the individual pieces, and that huge, fluffy, flavorful waffle with that nice scoop of strawberry butter. We brought our limited leftovers home, yes, we mostly ate our food. For a place with a pretty extensive, but not huge, menu, it is good. The chicken and waffles though are awesome. Our server was Jonny, and he was fast, efficient and pleasant. We hope to visit again soon, very soon.

    The Metro Diner is always busy, so I did expect a little bit of a wait. I was told 20-25 minutes…read moreand waited that long outside. Then, I moved inside to see what the delay was, and the host tried to seat me at the counter. Really? I'd been waiting 30 minutes, and you won't seat me at the empty table. So I declined and said I'd wait for my table. I never got a notice on my phone either, so what was the point of that system if you need to be inside the small waiting area to be called? I could see the open table, but I was not seated for another ten minutes. They didn't want me at the big table. Then it was interesting to watch all the staff walk by and ask who had my table. How do they not know which tables each person has? Someone eventually came by, asked if I'd been helped, and took my drink and food orders, since I'd been waiting quite a while. I ordered a half-and-half tea. I'm not sure she knew what that was, as she kept saying "unsweet". The first tea was half-and-half, but the refill was unsweetened. I went with the chicken pot pie, as that is what caught my eye. I expected a delicious dish, but what I received was disappointing. The ratio of the chicken, gravy and veggies was way off. I'd say there was enough low-quality processed chicken for three to four people, a little gravy and even less veggies. I had a bowl of processed chicken cubes with a splash of sauce, not what I had in mind. I usually skip the pastry part, but I ate that as I needed something other than chicken. I left some of the chicken in the dish. The waitress didn't even offer me a to-go box. It was that bad that I wouldn't eat it anyway. My check was brought out soon after I got my food. I don't understand the rush, but bringing the check early won't get me out any faster and lowers your tip. This was just a really bad experience, and I don't see myself returning. I have liked the food in the past.
