    Iced Tea and Banana Bread
    Bethany K.

    This place is so cute. I love the little shopping center it's nestled in. They have plenty of outdoor and indoor seating options. I've had a few different options of their teas, coffees, baked goods, and gelatos and everything is always good. The staff is also always friendly and the store is clean. The barista Ava was delightful this morning!

    We were in the shopping center, and looking for a place to hang out and have a snack. The barista's were very friendly. The place was very busy due to an event. We decided to try a chocolate chip cookie and an iced rose latte. The cookie was very good and they served it warm. My latte was tasty and I appreciated that they used fresh roast petals instead of roast syrup. It was not too floral and the right amount of sweetness. I would recommend the coffee shop.

    Only giving 4 stars due to the gelato being quite overpriced. But other than that, I had the coffee flavor and it was super delicious, zero complaints. They do give you samples like most other ice cream places so you can try what you like before settling on a flavor. The girl at the counter was nice and happy to give recommendations. It was a Saturday so it was pretty busy but definitely didn't seem hectic at all, and the area was kept fairly clean. So overall, it was a good experience.

    Went after eating at the nearby grill and was 40 minutes before closing. It has a nice outdoor area, and some indoor space too. It looked pretty clean and menus well visible. It's pretty expensive for the gelato. The smallest cup was 4.50 after tax it probably closer to five dollars. They give you tiny half teaspoons to make it seem like it's a more than it is or slow you down eating (I know this is average for high society gelato but imo it's nonsense). ‍ I got the strawberry and the mango gelato. Both were really good but the mango was more a sorbet and very refreshing, definitely would get it again. I'll have to come back to try the coffee. They had a very interesting pistachio chai latte that piqued my interest.

    Pistachio chai latte - seasonal offering !
    Youngone K.

    This is a cute local coffee shop to check out. There were fun seasonal beverage offerings which I always adore. I got a pistachio chai latte which was a bit weak on the chai flavor but was definitely a treat. My friend got a lavender cold foam? Iced coffee seasonal drink and she also enjoyed how not too sweet and flavorful it was. The baristas were polite and fairly quick with it so no complaints there! The place could use more savory breakfast sandwich/pastry offerings but was a lovely place to visit with a friend on a lazy Sunday.

    This place has been in southern village for a long times. The gelatos from here are really delicious. There's a lot of flavors too. The service is here good. People are friendly. I like the music they play here. Some people come here to study and some come here to chill. you often see very cute kids here after their tumbling classes. The price isn't too expensive about $3.50 per cup. Cleanliness: 9/10.

    Food: 4.5 Location: 5…read moreInside/seating :5 Service: 5 Overall value: 4 My spouse and I came here for lunch as we were in the area, and it was recommended. I had the BLTA sandwich with french fries and Dijonaise on the side and my spouse had the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito with home fries. We also each got different sodas from the cooler area. The total for two lunch entrées and two canned sodas was about $40. I feel like this is pretty high relatively speaking for a sandwich and fries, and a breakfast burrito and home fries + two canned sodas, which is why I gave the overall value a four. However, the breakfast burrito, home fries, and regular fries were AMAZING. Probably one of the best breakfast burritos I have had in a really long time, and the home fries were crispy and well seasoned. The sandwich I had was pretty good, but nothing super special, and definitely not worth $16. I didn't particularly care for the Dijonnais, but that's just personal preference and glad I had it on the side. The restaurant itself has ample parking and is easy to find. It has a lot of seating, as well as lounge type seating for the breakfast/café crew and people who might be coming to do a little bit of work. You order at the front and they give you a number and bring the food out to your table. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and kind. The restaurant itself was clean. Overall, I would probably give this somewhere between a four and a five, but I do really love to support Local and I could tell this place probably makes a banging coffee drink and had delicious looking desserts, so I went with a 5. Unfortunately, we live between 35 and 40 minutes away, so we likely won't return, but if we find ourselves in that area of Chapel Hill, I would consider stopping in for another breakfast burrito!

    I come here all the time and the place never disappoints. I'm a huge fan of the coffee and…read moresmoothies, someberry loves me indeed! The staff is super kind and accommodating!!
