Outside

I was in Raleigh for a pair of hockey games, and came across this place in my search for a local coffee shop. Relatively simple setup, but they do have a pile of board games if you want to stick around. The main reason I picked this place was their seasonal selection of a gingerbread latte. A lot of places will get the sweetness level wrong, but this one was perfect. Quick and friendly service, as well.

My first time at this location! The maple latte was pretty good, service was fast and courteous. My only complaint is the gnats flying around, I was surprised to see them. Had a pleasant time studying with friends here though!

LOVE this place. By far the best breakfast and coffee place we have tried in Cary NC! It's easy to see what's unique about this place - board games on shelves as wide and tall as the entire right hand back area wall. Across from the board games are various local area crafted merchandise such as stone pendant necklaces, painted mint tins, crocheted items, stickers and buttons, etc etc. Service was wonderful, we were immediately greeted upon entering. We had "pagers" that go off when your beverage is ready to be picked up at the counter. There's a self-service counter where you pick up your stainless steel (not plastic!) utensils, napkins, cold water, etc. We ordered Nutella latte and honey lavender latte. Both were delicious, hit the spot in terms of coffee and specialty. My BF ordered the roast beef in a waffle sandwich, absolutely unique and tasty. I had the best tasting avocado toast topped with sliced boiled egg. All ingredients look and taste so fresh! Will definitely go back to try all other menu items!

I probably wouldn't have come here but we had a special offer from a local dining club. Arrived mid-day on a Saturday and had two coffee drinks and two muffins. They seemed to have a few other breakfast food items. Their main draw is board games which you can rent, or some of which you can play for free. Seems like a nice, relaxed place for people who are into board games. They are a little out of our way so we probably won't be back, but we wish them well. PS, they also had a little popup craft fair going on outside so I guess they host some events as well.

We had a blast trying this place out. Grab a game and eat some delish food. Our faves were the cali-cassone and the pro-sciu-tto!! Also I had the get the chai latte which was delish too!

This is by far a huge vibe. We stopped by for a drink and I loved it. Lots of board games, it's very clean, and it's so aesthetic inside. The cashier was so kind he helped us pick our drinks. I'm glad they offered skim milk. The bathroom had things that you made need like female products, hair products, and much more! I wish I lived close to here!!

Love the vibe, but the coffee is an acquired taste. My gf asked for a vanilla Chai Latte with soy milk... and didn't get anything close to that. I'm not sure if she didn't know how to make it, but it was disappointing. I like that they have games to play and items to buy, but they truly need to learn the basics of a latte.

Daniel has amazing customer relation skills and cooks a mean waffle. I was concerned about accessibility due to my severe hearing loss, but Daniel was able to think on the fly and accommodate me quickly despite wearing a mask (which can hinder lip reading). He deserves a pay raise; it's not often you'll meet a service worker who treats customers so well. Very clean facility too!!

I fell in love with Thousand Hills the moment I walked in. The decor is so beautiful and there are…read moreso many comfy places to sit as well as tables inside and outside. It's located alongside the leasing office for the apartment complex. The service is great. There were two young ladies working and they were both friendly. I arrived around 4:30 on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and ordered a muffin and a decaf latte since it was so late (for me to drink caffeine). The cranberry lemon muffin was absolutely perfect, so much flavor, so fresh & moist. The Salted Brown Butter Latte was the best. From the first sip to the last drop, I loved it. I sat on a small section of a very comfortable couch with pillows and all. I later sat out front on one of the benches. They also have a patio seating out back. I can't wait to go back to Thousand Hills!!

We happened upon this coffee shop on a day trip to the triangle area. Parking is very limited near…read morethe coffee shop. It's a very busy place. Inside there was seating and space for whatever you're looking for. Chairs, sofas, meeting spaces, and outdoor seating. It's a large coffee shop. We waited in line and ordered our coffees. A few minutes later we received our beverages. We found a couple chairs with a small table in between. The table was dirty so I asked for a towel or rag to clean the table with. I received confused looks from the two employees that were standing behind the counter. They didn't have a rag to clean with so they told me to use wet napkins to clean the table. The response wasn't what I expected, but I got the impression the employees don't clean this establishment. They had no idea what to do. Kind of strange. I used water and a pile of napkins to clean everything off onto the floor. Other than that, the coffee and atmosphere were good. Not sure we'll return. It is a cool place though.

What a great little find! On a freezing day outside of Raleigh, I stumbled upon this cozy little…read morecoffee shop! Trying to get a little work done, I was pleased to find a comfy couch, power and Wi-Fi- in addition to the incredible twist on a Mexican mocha and an absolutely insane bacon, egg, and cheese on there in house made biscuit! Greeted by the friendliest barista, I made myself comfy on the couch and watched her work her magic. My " not too sweet" mocha had beautiful latte art. I was actually a little sad as I reached the bottom of the mug. So I opted for a decaf refill, it was pure perfection. Do yourself a favor & pop in to make this place your morning ritual.

I wasn't entirely in a coffee tasting mood but really needed a pick-me-up. They had the strawberries and cream latte as their special drink, so I went ahead and order this and the bang bang tacos. The strawberries and cream was super delicious and hit my craving just right. The bang bang shrimp tacos had a kick with the sauce, but incorporating pineapple was what gave this a 10/10 for me. It had a sweet and spicy flavor to it, which balanced these tacos to perfection with each bite. The employees behind the counter were extremely friendly. I recommend this spot for anybody who's local or traveling through.

We had a reservation and were seated immediately, and our server team greeted and gave us the rundown of how the restaurant works and recommendations. We were tempted to do the 5-course tasting, but decided to order a la carte! Drinks: - Espresso martini: Super rich and refreshing - Alexan red wine: The best! Absolutely loved this wine Food: - Beets: Loved these, so light and great flavor - Harkers island oysters: I'm not a huge oysters fan, but these were incredible! They tasted great and the presentation was very cool - Maine lobster: 10/10! Small but great flavor - Dry aged duck: My fiancee had this as his entree and loved it - Aged beef strip: My entree, really delicious Overall had such a special time here, would definitely recommend anyone to come here at least once for an incredible experience!

I went into Herons Christmas dinner with high expectations, and the experience fell well short…read more The creativity and presentation were strong. Every plate was visually impressive and thoughtfully composed. Unfortunately, that is where the positives largely stop. The food was bland or oddly prepared, with flavor combinations that did not work. There was not a single dish on the menu that I enjoyed. I could have prepared a better tasting meal with my hands tied behind my back. The hamachi was described as having wasabi, yet there was no heat or spice at all. The beef was cooked perfectly from a technical standpoint but completely under seasoned. The beet dish, described as a celebration, was unpleasant. The quail was mediocre and forgettable. Service was polished but incomplete. At no point during the delivery of each course did anyone ask how the food was. In a fine dining setting, that absence is noticeable. Part of me was relieved not to be asked, but it also gave the impression that the staff already knew the meal was overpriced and under delivered. By the end of the evening, I was eager to leave and questioning whether I would ever return. The experience leaned heavily on concept and presentation while failing at the most important element: flavor. For a restaurant of this reputation and price point, this was a major disappointment. --
