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.

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!

The Gilded Pear is located in Downtown Smithfield. It is located in the Hood-Spiers Building, which…read morehas been restored. It was built in 1900 and still has the original tin ceiling, decorative windows and exposed brick. Seating is on two floors, providing a cozy feel if sitting in the loft. They have the "Pear Necessities of Life" This is both a cafe for coffee and teas but also a bakery that serves breakfast and lunch. They are known for their bubble waffles, and crepes. But also have a large menu that has sandwiches, salads, flat breads and breakfast items. There should be something that appeals to even the pickiest eater. Ordering is done at the counter, and you receive a number, and the beverage and food are brought to your table. The menu is posted outside the entrance so you can check it out first. I went with a rose and cranberry lemonade that was a drink special, and the bubble waffle, and added strawberries and bananas. The bubble waffle intrigued me as I had never had one before. It is a honeycomb waffle popular in Hong Kong. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It looks like bubble wrap, which is hard to tell as mine was covered in strawberries and bananas. I enjoyed the texture and flavors of it. The Gilded Pear is a great addition if you're looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat.

The barista was very helpful. I asked her opinion about a couple of different things, I ended up with the coconut drink that was on special for the month. It was amazing. I sipped it as I walked through old historic Smithfield. The space itself you can tell a lot of love and thoughtfulness goes into the store. Everything was very clean, I love that they were cute messages on the cups, little positivity in this day and age really goes a long way. Everything at the Guilded Pear seems to be made with kindness and consideration.

I also love that there is a Caribou Coffee shop at this location. I've actually never been to a Caribou Coffee shop anywhere so this is my only experience with an actual brick and mortar shop. It used to be SO good. I always got great coffee from here and it was always a pleasure to visit. This time - not so much. I wanted to try the iced honey cold press coffee but I was informed they were out of honey. Bummer. So then instead I went with the iced oat vanilla shaken espresso. I was rung up but then told they did not have oat milk, so they offered me coconut milk instead, which as we all know, changes the consistency of the drink. When I was handed the drink it had one of those icee type tops on it and it was filled to the brim, so the coffee was spilling everywhere! Once I cleaned everything up and took a sip of it in the car, it was just not good. It was overly sweet, watery, and not creamy at all. I was so disappointed as it cost me $8.00. I'm so bummed that this location seems to have gone down hill as it was always such a nice coffee stop break.

Many of them do have some standalone places like Starbucks and other coffee houses but a lot of them are also found inside shopping centers food courts malls etc They offer many different styles of coffee like any kind of a coffee specific sort of brewhouse Some say they're a little pricier but it seems like they're competitive with Starbucks only not as burnt tasting to me because I am not a fan of Starbucks This is a second one by the Iowa 80 group that they bought in franchise themselves the other one in the main Iowa 80 world's largest truck stop. I don't really do those fancy schmancy coffees at all the kids and the hipsters are into and all the flavored things I just like cream and Splenda LOL. So I came in and got just a regular house cup of coffee before I walked back out to the truck after dining at the food court and the service was good by the Iowa 80 employees and a whole lot more it was perfectly fine and I don't have any complaints.
