I must say, however, that I was not ready for how open and airy the interior was. There are windows covering most of two sides. The chairs and tables are modern, open, Scandinavian-inspired design that is a huge departure from the deep, cushy ones in the stores near my house. It was like a different chain. The folks behind the counter welcomed us in with smiles, even though the drive-thru was slammed and they were making drinks and food at an impressive rate. Usually the behind the bar folks are stressed and seem to be distracted when it's busy, but the young lady taking our order was patient and friendly. We got drinks (just canned sodas on this warm spring afternoon after a walk through the woods!), and sat inside to chat and enjoy. As we sat, I noticed the outdoor seating area and suggested we go out there. The patio is poured concrete, nicely spacious, and furnished with sturdy wicker-like chairs and tables of various heights. Umbrellas of massive size were providing welcome shade, and they were well-placed and fully deployed, so most seats were out of the sun. We sat and chatted a good while, enjoying the sky over the nearby fields, despite the drive thru lane right beside us. I think the patio may have been a little elevated, because I never felt like I was "in the way" of the cars, and they didn't block me in. It' was a really nice visit to what we expected would be a hum-drum grab-and-go coffee shop. I'll stop by again when passing by.

I found this Pilot Travel Center by using Google Maps to scout out a good gas station to fill up at…read moreon our way from Chapel Hill to Greensboro (yeah, I actually did that). This Pilot is conveniently located just off I-40/I-85 exit 132 (Mount Hope Church Road) in McLeansville, North Carolina. Having grown up in nearby High Point in the 80s and 90s and regularly traveling back and forth between the Triangle and Atlanta since 2020, I hadn't heard of McLeansville until now. Over about the last couple of years, I've learned that Pilot Flying J (Pilot and Flying J merged in 2009) are the best stops for gas and restroom breaks on the merged stretch of I-40 and I-85 in North Carolina, between the Triad and the Triangle. If anyone knows better, please educate me. On this stretch, there are Pilots at exits 132 (this one in McLeansville), 150 (Haw River), and 152 (Mebane). There's also a Flying J across the street from the Pilot at exit 150. I think the only comparable gas station/truck stop on the same stretch is the TA Travel Center at exit 138 (Whitsett). I'll probably have left Yelp reviews for each of these places before our time in the Triangle is up. I-40 overlaps with I-85 between I-40 exits 227 and 259. In between those exits, the I-85 exit numbers, 131 to 163, prevail. This Pilot is situated close to the west end of the overlap, near Greensboro. Relatively speaking, this Pilot in McLeansville is spacious, clean, and well-stocked. It's no QuikTrip, RaceTrac, or Love's, but it's one of the closest things you'll find to those brands around here. My four-star rating is relative to the area. I counted 14 pumps at the filling station. There are Dunkin' and Wendy's fast food restaurants on-site. This is Pilot Travel Center store #7937. It's open 24/7.
