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. They have patio seating in both the front and back with the front overlooking a busy parking lot and the back being adjacent to green space busy with families. The biscuit is the star of the show. 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.

Me and my friends came here and got the avocado toast and coffees. They bring the food to you and…read morethe service was great and very quick. The coffee is a bit on the expensive end along with some of the pastries, but the avocado toast was only around $6 from what I remember. The food was amazing, I definitely recommend the avocado toast. The coffee was good. They had many good breakfast options and I want to come back and try the quiche. The ambiance is decent, it feels kind of empty though. I think it would be a good place to come study.

I try a new coffee shop every Saturday and today it was Benelux…read more There isn't a lot of street parking, but there is an underground garage behind it, which is so convenient. It's located next to Village District. I was greeted immediately by a nice young man. I asked for his hot food suggestion, and of course he suggested the waffles! I ordered a waffle with fresh bananas and Nutella...every bite was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a lavender latte and loved it. They sell scones from a local vendor and I had a gluten free orange cranberry scone which was also delicious. Benelux is spacious and has plenty of seating. Tables, high tops and even a couple of comfortable love seats.

I chose this place to catch up with a friend at, and it was my first time bringing my baby outnso I was a bit nervous, but the place looked super clean and roomy. Which are both necessities for a mom bringing a little baby in a stroller. While I read in a review that someone mentioned about this location not having a cozy feel, it really depends on what a person is looking for in a coffeeshop. If you need good coffee and a good space to catch up with a friend or get some work done in a clean setting, this is perfect. If you are looking for aesthetics, well there is no art or knicknacks that give ither coffeeshops character but I don't feel this place needs it. It is clean and inviting on its own and as someone who is slightly claustrophobic this place is awesome with the amount of seating it has (Nora cafe in comparison was a place that frustrated me so much due to it being hard to find seating at all). I ordered the pistachio flavored matcha which tasted tasted amazing (first time tasting so much of the nutty flavor come out in a pistachio drink), and I also got the Norwegian pancake with banana and Nutella + hashbrown. Such an awesome afternoon combo! My baby was also quite relaxed for most of the visit as well which speaks volumes!

Upon entry the store - it felt like a cozy spot to have a bite to eat and a cup of coffee with a friend or to study. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Each time was made fresh and quickly. During my visit there weren't a lot of people - so I am not sure how service speed would be on an extremely busy day. I ordered a build it your self sandwich that came out to about $10. The cost of food and the quality - I felt it was worth the pricing. Will be back to taste some of the other food items and coffee.

On my second visit, I tried an iced coffee flight, but unfortunately, the coffees were very watery and lacked much flavor. The service also hasn't been the best during either visit.

On a whim we decided to enjoy a road trip and Raleigh adventure. We started our day at this great…read morecoffee shop. The coffee shop is on a fairly busy street with street parking everywhere. It's a cozy and comfortable place with inside and outdoor seating. They serve several types of coffee blends and other beverages. They also have a limited pastry and baked goods selection. After ordering our cold brew, macchiato, and chocolate croissant we sat in some comfortable chairs in an area with shelves full of neat and quirky items to peruse while waiting for our order. While waiting a section of the bookcases opened as a family walked out. Didn't realize it was there. Not sure what's back there, but pretty interesting nonetheless. Picked up our orders and sipped over a conversation for lunch and hitting some open houses. The cold brew was very good. The croissant was fluffy and tasty, which paired well with the strength of the macchiato. This is a great little place to enjoy coffee and conversation or read a book. There were a few patrons working on their laptops as well. Pretty cool place overall. Recommend trying this place.

I came here to kill some time and read, so i wondered through the shop. The ambience is very cozy, and they had a cover patio (though it was kind of rainy that day). There was also a little room with tchotchkes for sale, and the tea room (I poked my head in just to see and the employee was ~ not amused ~ oops). I'd say this is great if you want to stop in for coffee and chat with a friend. I'd also love to book tea sometime, as it's a cool concept! This wouldn't be on my list for a solo coffee trip, as it was hard to find a comfortable corner to read a book.

The barista was super kind and helped with giving us recommendations. I ordered a caramel latte and cinnamon sugar donut. The latte unfortunately tasted super watered down, like either the bean quality was not great or the espresso extraction wasn't great. The donuts they get are from Tepuy which I didn't realize until seeing it on the receipt, and I unfortunately am not a huge Tepuy fan. Overall it was a bit of a miss and there are other coffee shops in Raleigh that are knocking it out of the park.

The owner Mike and all employees are kind and friendly. I get the mocha (with peppermint, when the syrup is available) and it's divine. I love their commitment to organic, eco-friendly coffee and products--most if not all of their coffee is Fair Trade and shade-grown in addition to being organic, and I'm pretty sure their cups are compostable. They've also got a program where you can pay for a cup of coffee, and a token gets added to a jar next to the register. Anyone who finds themselves needed a warm cup of coffee but lacking the means to pay can come in and use a token from the jar. Such a great program that shows how much they value and support our community.

I come here pretty much 5 days a week. Dirty Matcha (3 espresso), almond milk, iced…read more Today I sent my crew member to order exactly this and they gave her a regular matcha with 3 espresso on the side. I went back to ask for it to be remade, since this is not what I wanted and I haven't touched any of the product, which usually would be no problem, especially since the young man at the counter was very new. The first answer I got was "we don't do that here", which is not true, then the somewhat curtly brown haired white girl said "well I can just pour it in there for you! It will be the same thing!" Laughing and rolling her eyes. Which I prompted that I really would rather have it remade, since it will affect the flavor and it was not what I had ordered. She continued to try to go back and forth with me about remaking my drink trying to make it seem like it's a problem and telling me "the way you came in was a lot" even though I asked multiple times, very nicely and tried to make clear, that my problem right now is about the attitude my complaint was handled with because I understand that mistakes can happen. I also understand that it shouldn't be a problem to make it right at the end without making fun and rolling eyes. My remade drink was still wrong and it was obvious that it was purposely this time, since I told her my order again, she repeated it and still proceeded to use a LG cup instead of a regular, but continued using regular cup measurements+ 1 espresso shot (which is also not what would come in there regularly). Even after I mentioned, again, that it was supposed to be 3 espresso shots( she charged me for another 2 shots,which is fine, I'm not here to get anything for free, I really just wanted my one drink made right) she handed me a regular matcha, 3 espresso in a large cup, filled up with milk to the top. Again, this is not what I ordered. But I had to go to my own job so I had no time to go through this again. Side note: a large drink would usually come with 4 shots. I don't even work at this place and am aware of this. However, some of these "baristas" need some serious training when it comes to customer service. Sad, because I actually really like this place and the girl and guy that usually are there in the morning are awesome.

That brings me to the next point. If you go on the busy days be ready to wait long sitting times, is not because of the place itself but because people will overextend their stay and because the local is small it could fill up very quickly. On my visit here I waited over 50 minutes to be sit. Rather than a critic is more of a heads up so that it doesn't take you by surprise. To touch on the food a little bit, I specifically got the breakfast burrito and it was incredible enjoyable. Got some fries as a side and some mushrooms and everything was tasty and fresh. If you aren't sure what to order you won't go wrong ordering that. I would suggest that it be nice to see a traditional american breakfast on the menu. 9/10 would definitely come back!

Drinks: I ordered a matcha latte, iced with oat milk. I knew it was a mistake as I watched them make it and the match came out of a squeeze bottle. My mom ordered hot black coffee, claiming it tasted burnt and was undrinkable. Mains: I ordered the strawberries & cream pancakes which came with three extremely tiny pancakes, that tasted like whole wheat. The "fresh jam" was overly sugared and had a smoothie like consistency. For $16 I was hungry and disappointed. My mom ordered the grain and egg bowl, wait it was underwhelming. Shocked there are so many positive reviews.
