Knock-Knock Salmon's Here
Gina S.

I'll admit: I don't frequent açaí bowl spots but this one delivered! We loved splitting a sweet and savory breakfast between the PB&J bowl and the salmon toast. Add two lattes and we were set for a perfect Sunday morning in downtown Apex. Everything was very tasty and good quality; a little too expensive to be a regular spot.

Just a spot in downtown Apex. With fairly fresh options you can dine in or take out. The staff is welcoming and patient especially when you have to change your order because they are out of what you selected! Grab a coffee or a sandwich and sit inside or out on the sidewalk.

Flavors | quick | service Flavors - Recognize a variety of unique coffee flavors, including traditional lattes, mochas, and espresso shots, as well as a selection of tasty snacks to choose from. Quick - Overall, the service was great and even though the coffee was made quickly, the wait time was minimal. Despite having five people in front of us, we were in and out within 10 minutes. Service - The service is great and the staff is knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions and made great recommendations for drinks. The drink they recommended for Monica and me was helpful. They also have all the vegan options in terms of milk, so it's a great place that welcomes all types of coffee lovers.

Iced chai
Gina Marie S.

Had time to patronize Mission Market this week before an appointment. It was packed at 1pm on a Tuesday! Why am I surprised - this place is awesome! Wholesome food and delicious drinks and a wonderful sense of community. Lots of chatter from a packed dining area. Several patrons waiting in line yo order. All friendly. Enjoyed iced chai and friendly service then walked up Salem Street.

Pesto Sandwich

Generally good quality ingredients and friendly workers. I will say the açaí bowls are a bit pricey for what you get, and this is coming from someone who works in Manhattan. Also the puree part was a little soupy when the bowl was given to me (I prefer my açaí bowls cold+thick!). Pesto panini was very filling and I like that it comes with a bag of kettle chips. Bread was nice and crispy but not hard enough to scrape the roof of your mouth. Only downside is that tasted SUPER salty and greasy to me (and pretty soggy inside) because they put so much pesto on it - I felt pretty icky the rest of the day after eating it. Later in the day I felt really nauseous, though hopefully not because of the panini. The place seems clean, but for some reason the bathroom had a lot of fruit flies and there was a big fly buzzing around the counter where I worked. That was a little off putting :( Overall spent a little over $30 for the items pictured (plus a bag of kettle chips). Place isn't bad and the food photographs well, but not sure I would do it again.

After giving this place, very high reviews in the past, this rating is only for customer service. Every single time we come here, we are not acknowledged at the counter. When we come, it's typically busy, however, this morning was not, and they were three people behind the counter, none of them even looked up at us, and acknowledged that we were there. We were standing there for a few minutes before we decided to just leave and go to the other nearby coffee house. I feel customer service is very important as it really sets the tone for the stay. As much as I want to support locally owned businesses, I'm not sure I'll be coming here again if poor customer service is consistent.

So my husband and I ordered a coffee and a sandwich and it was close to 50 bucks. The sandwiches were good but it's more assembled good and not like a chef was cooking it good. The coffee was fine. If the items were a little cheaper then I would say it's worth the money.

Avocado toast and tea
Mary Z.

What a cute, clean, friendly place for breakfast, brunch or lunch in downtown Apex! I've stopped by a few times for a cup of tea while walking on Salem; they have a couple of outdoor tables that are great for people watching. On Christmas Eve, though, I stopped in to have a quiet breakfast before the craziness of the holiday hit. My avocado toast with a cup of Earl Grey tea was perfect. Coffee/tea sizes are small, medium and large. That puts them way ahead of the crazy size names at other places, and a cup is always $2, no matter what size you choose! I like to take the GoApex Route 1 bus, so I don't have to try to find parking, which can be difficult in the afternoon. Service is always friendly and helpful. This place really is delightful!

Mission Market is a cute little coffee shop right on Apex's main street. While most coffee shops are crowded and you feel like you're on top of everyone in line, Mission has a nice, spread out floor plan. There were people on laptops, couches, chairs, and stools; we were all spread out enough to enjoy our coffees. We ordered a few coffees, sandwiches, and the PB&Jammin' acai bowl. Immediately, you know you're in for a treat because the bowl was so neatly presented. The PB&J bowl is "just sweet enough" and the granola, honey, and peanut butter compliment all (too many to list) the other ingredients well. While we didn't have the coffee, our friends said that the coffee was robust, dark, and "much needed." Price point, atmosphere, and value are all what you'd expect at this location. We look forward to our next Mission visit and trying something new, especially the "Conquer" smoothie.

The food and drinks were good but over priced in my opinion. The workers were friendly but the service was a little slow, and the drinks took a while to come out. It was pretty busy, so that probably played a part. Overall, Mission Market is a decent option for coffee / brunch, but I don't think it is worth the price.

Gift ideas
Brilynn C.

Mission market is wonderful for gifts that give back and are hand made. They offer a fun selection of small items like bags, t-shirts, jewelry that are all sustainably made and support great causes. The coffee is good and the food menu is small. The customer service is okay and the location downtown makes it difficult for a quick stop in. You can preorder your coffee togo but need to walk from parking to pick it up. I would absolutely recommend stopping in to check out the store the next time you are down town Apex.

Earl Grey Tea, it's not loose leaf.
Tauna S.

Trying a place outside our Sanford Community since we had appointments in Cary. The atmosphere here is light and comfortable. There's quite a few folks laughing and conversing. We got the Breve and an Earl Grey tea with honey. (We had to ask for the honey because they forgot and when we asked the response was "typically we charge for it" so I took that as they were doing me a favor until we showed them the receipt with honey, "oh".). I'll say that Family Grounds in Sanford has me spoiled! We payed about the same for the tea and it was just a tea bag here instead of the Earl grey loose leaf. The knock-knock salmon's here toast was good. A nice portion of smoked salmon to toast ratio. To knock it out of the park, I would prefer herbed cream cheese BUT it was tasty so we'd order it again. They'd did share some kitchen secrets so I know they have a heart for sharing good food! Would recommend for the coffee, save your tea money for Family Grounds in Sanford, NC. We'd venture back when we are in the area. Give the service another shot. Think they may just have some kinks to work out.

Latte -ask for a mug if you don't want paper!

Good coffee and really like the avocado toast. Only wish they had fried eggs. Then to go walking around Apex makes for a very pleasant stop.

Love this place!!! I've tried hot and cold latte, cold brew,…read moreespresso and I liked it every time. I go here regularly. Staff is very friendly! My go-to here is cold brew, it's $3.45 for a medium size and $3.95 for a large which is great value, AND they have a ton of flavors/syrups (extra $0.75) to choose from, and what I love the most if sugar free syrup selection (monin brand which are the best syrups ever if you didn't know). There's plenty of inside and outside seating area, and there's drive thru available as well. I usually enjoy my coffee time inside on one of the woven couches and I see people working on a laptop or reading here regularly but to me inside is a bit echoey so I would bring headphones if you need to focus. What else... they have small selection of merchandise (coffee mugs and cups), chips, small bakery treats like pop cake, brownie and macarons, as well as bagged coffee and tea and Lotus drink. (I've never heard about Lotus drink until I saw it here, it's supposed to be a healthier alternative to coffee, basically an energy drink with natural caffeine. They serve it here and I tried it once, I didn't dislike it but can't say I fell in love, tastes like flavored pop.) Anyway, great place!

Before you know it, you're thinking about what to eat or take home, and you were just there for coffee. Yikes! First off, all the pastries are made right at Asali. From what I understand, nothing is made outside the café. My favorite breakfast is their egg and cheese croissant. It's always just the right temperature. So good, you might even use your fingers to pick up and eat all the flakes that fall off. The staff is super friendly and even answers any questions you have about how they make their drinks. Speaking of drinks, you can pretty much get anything you want. Regular coffee, pour-over, all sorts of lattes--hot or cold. This is one of the reasons why I return time after time. The staff's ability to be creative and add some wow factor to your drink. Asali might just be the best cafe in the entire Raleigh area.

They have so many pastries to choose from, ranging from macarons to cakes. They also have a small brunch menu. The service was fine and the items came out quickly. I got the Hazelnut Cheesecake Mousse and Breakfast Croissant. The Hazelnut Cheesecake Mousse had a stick blue fondant above it, which I think was mostly used for decor. I did not like it a lot so we took it off and it made the cake taste a lot better. There were not super strong hints of the cheesecake flavor, but it tasted fine. I wish the Breakfast Croissant had a type of meat in it, but it was still good. The croissant was very buttery and large. I would probably rate this spot a 3.5/5 stars if I could. The food I got did not impress me too much, but I would love to give them another shot and try their other pastries.
