    Salted Maple Latte
    Jake V.

    | Overview + Inviting ambiance + Nice outdoor area + Friendly customer service - Overpriced coffee - Lack of sweetness - Environmental-friendly cup looks like a joke - Front door needs to be fixed - Limited Parking space in gravel lot | Review Got a large iced latte with maple syrup + oat milk (+0.75) for my girl; price: $7.79. Paper cup looks cheap for pricey, mediocre coffee. Straw doesn't seem to be compatible with the container as it was hard to sip the coffee with it. My girl asked barrista to not make it just slightly sweet but ended up having no sweetness at all. Lanza's Cafe has a homely vibe with cozy atmosphere inside and nice outdoor sitting outside. Had a bit of trouble finding parking space and gravel lot is not ideal. There were many UNC students hanging out, with their laptops when we arrived. There's a vibrant, local vibe inside. When my girl opened the cafe's front door, it slammed hard when it closed, bothering some people enterung behind her. She apologized to them but it's the door's fault - That needs fixing, for sure. Despite its wonderful indoor and outdoor ambiance, Lanza's failed to deliver quality coffee. Compared to Common Grounds Coffee in downtown Apex, this cafe in downtown Carrboro is a major letdown. | Overall Score: 1.6/5

    My girlfriend brought me to this cafe and honestly, I wish California had more places like this. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming, and I love the inside space. Decent amount of seating inside for a good study session. There is this little space right before you enter that offers this greenhouse vibe. Wonderful spot to study. The outside also offers a lot of seats. The drinks too came out quick, but nothing too fancy!

    Quiche

    I came here to study with a friend and it was quite crowded. But there were seats available. I got the quiche which was a bit pricey for what a got. Nothing special but a good study snack.

    Really cute items for sale

    Really cute and vibey coffee shop. They looked to have great food options (including vegan cheese!) but I only opted for an americano to drink. The americano is delicious. Wish I had time to stay a while - they had a musician setting up, tons of seats, walls covered in art, and cute items available to purchase! I love art and trinkets so this place definitely spoke to me. Service was quick and I will remember this spot next time back in town!

    Love Lanza's and will keep coming back. Great tea and wine selection available, reasonable prices and always a vibe inside. Almost always fills up, but there is plenty of seating inside & out. Always a warm welcome here!

    cappuccino with soy milk
    Aditi K.

    I really like this place! The coffee and pastries are really good, and the space is large and cozy. There's plenty of seating inside, as well as in a sort of in-between-outside-and-inside space with comfy couches. Last time I came here, I got a muffin and a cappuccino, both of which were really excellent. Prices are as high as any other coffee shop in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area, but considering that this place actually has plentiful parking and that the vibes are great, I'm more accepting of the expense. Highly recommend!

    Pastry case

    What a neat little cafe! I love the mismatched furniture and mugs. The staff was very friendly and drinks came out quickly. There was also a case stocked full of delicious-looking pastries. I sat on the screened in patio which was filled with plants and enjoyed a nice day outdoors. A perfect place for studying or hanging out with a friend. The coffee was very good and I will definitely come back!

    Came to Lanza From an Ad Post on Eventbrite for a "Short Indie Movie Film Series." This Offered People Within the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill Areas to Show Their Short Films on Display to the Local Public. Just About Every Night Lanza Host Different Events Like These Open To The Public. Aside from Their Events, They Have Really Good Selection of Hearty Food & Alternative Options For Those Who Are Vegan & Gluten Free. Their Selection Range From Breakfast & Lunch (Monday - Thursday, til' 3 PM / ALL DAY, Fri - Sun), Local Coffee & Draft Beer, Herbal/Natural Tea, Wine & Savory Desserts. As far As Customer Service, The Staff is Friendly and Has a Welcoming Atmospheric Setting Which Compliments Carrboro Area. Overall, Nice Hangout Spot.
