Let's go ahead and square this equation, given the ambiance is solid for studying/reading (would have stayed in if they weren't about to close).

What a cute little coffee shop in downtown Goldsboro. I was meeting a friend and got there a little…read morebefore her. I needed an afternoon pick me up and saw this place just across from my parking spot. Kismet! No frills, cute little spot with a gorgeous mural on the inside. I got an iced coconut latte - the barista let me know they were out of ice (it was 3pm and they close at 4pm so fair enough). He was still able to make it chilled and I got more coffee in my drink so honestly I call that a win. The coconut flavoring in the latte was perfection - if you're a coconut lover, this is a drink for you. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

The service was very friendly and answered all my questions I had about their lattes. I got their grandmas dirty hot chocolate and it was rich and smooth. I was very impressed with their outdoor space in the back of the shop! Looks like they put a lot of thought and effort into making it look nice and relaxing. I had to take pictures of the whole place because there were no photos that did this place any justice to show how nice it was inside and outside. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

I arrived at 7 and sat here for five hours. Ouch! And despite that, no one seemed to mind. The inside dining area ebbed and flowed but it never got to the point where I felt like I was taking up a table for a "paying" customer. A drip coffee mid-morning got me through to noon and it was time for me to move on. Overall, a fantastic spot and the coffees were absolutely top notch!

They have a great selection of teas and french press. They do not do espresso. There is a small but sophisticated menu that offers quiches, scones, cheesecake and a few savory pastries, all made by a European trained chef who bakes exclusively for The Gladstone. The presentation is awesome. Hours are Tues-Thurs 10am-6pm, and Fri-Sat 10am-10pm. And they are actually open for these hours, they do not close randomly like some other local Goldsboro businesses. This is a really neat place tucked away in Goldsboro, definitely worth checking out.

This is my second - and last - time patronizing the grade-B coffee house…read more I paid $3.05 for a 3 inch tall cup of coffee, and it was strong enough to wake the dead, and not in a good way. It was stale, bitter, and bitter, and tasted like coffee that has set out for 2 hours. Do they have a shelf life for their coffee? I ask this because the last time I came here the coffee was bitter, bitter, and stale. The girls working there are not cheery, not accommodating, and upright. Because I am not a good-looking guy, they give me grade-C treatment.

The coffee wasn't good, I got an iced dark chocolate latte and the coffee just genuinely isn't flavorful or appealing. I got one of each of their HIGHLY over priced macarons (3$ a pop, they were very small) and they had no flavor to them. It was like eating straight up sugar with like a whisper of flavoring if that. Wholly unappealing. The Lorraine quiche was really good tho! I got the blueberry Bundt cake and the blueberry cheesecake to go for my husband and he the cake was REALLY dry and the cheese cake crust was not good. "The best part of these desserts is the little candied blueberries at the top" the ambiance was quite bleak and really unfriendly feeling. Like the lighting was terrible, the whole sitting area is poorly lit and feels like a prison cell. Just really not a comforting cafe/bakery to walk into and the eats were not good either. I won't be going back or recommending to anyone. *not a set up review, if you look at all my past reviews I say what I feel both good and bad.

There's all kinds of candies and treats that I've never heard of before and they aren't overpriced at all! There's a sitting area with couches, a TV, and all kinds of decor that really sets this place apart from other coffee shops. The staff were really friendly and made my boyfriend and I feel very welcome. Their drink menu is HUGE- but in the best way possible. There are so many unique options to choose from and I was honestly struggling to pick which drink I wanted because everything sounded so good. They even have horror and Harry Potter themed drinks, which I thought was really cute and different. I ordered the Cookie Monster iced latte and my boyfriend ordered the Cookies and Scream iced latte. We got the 20oz drinks, which were around $7. A bit expensive- but worth it, and so much better tasting than those chain coffee shops we're all accustomed to. The drinks were great and you can tell they really make sure they are using good ingredients, and care about what they are serving to their customers. Overall a great experience and great coffee! I will definitely be back.
