def coming back! 10/10 drinks, food, & service!! perfect ambiance! check this place out if you're in the area!

So delicious will definitely be back! Staff were very friendly and has a great calm vibe

Met a friend here, what a cute place! The coconut ube drink was so good. Very bright and refreshing drink. Ordering is easy and you get a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready. The decor is so relaxing, very comfortable atmosphere. Only drawback - the parking lot is a mess. A huge mess. We had to park over by Burger King, closest spots available. read more

Okay, so I've now been here about 3 or 4 times and I have to say that this went from okay to not okay for me. The first time I ordered a hot matcha latte, I was told that it is made with oat milk. Today, I ordered the same thing and the person at the register told me it's half oat milk, half whole milk, and that I have to ask for the matcha latte to be made with all oat milk. WHAT?! Also, I dined in, but my matcha was given to me in a to go cup. When I asked them to re-make it with all oat milk in a mug not a to go cup, I'm pretty sure all they did was pour what was in the to go cup into the mug. It was the worst matcha I've had and caused an incredibly unpleasant digestive issues because I am lactose intolerant. My last comment is that it's never really clean in here-- I always have to wipe down the table I sit at even when they first open . And there's a sign near the toilet of the ladies room that says not to flush toilet paper in the toilet and only place it in the trash can. There was also no soap in the bathroom. I think that's disgusting. It seems like no one that works there really cares and that takes away so much from coming here. I've decided not to come back anymore. read more

I was a little skeptical because of the mixed reviews but the peach lemongrass tea is about to my spring and summer staple. It's rich in color but it's really light and refreshing. Taste lazy fresh peaches and it has slices of them in the drink. The lemongrass is faint but overall just a lovely drink. I also the taro and mango macaroons. They are bite size perfect for a quick pick me up. The mango was my favorite, it even has a little mango jelly/syrup in the middle! Friendly faces and quick service! This is a great place near Triangle Mall to get some work done. read more

This is a great place the only negative is its location because it's not near me. This place is really out of the way but I do think it's worth the trip sometimes. I really enjoy the earl gray matcha. My husband loves the banh mi and he super picky with it (since he part vietnamese). You went twice in one day because we wanted more food and drinks and we were in the area and no we wouldnt be back for a while. I do wish the matcha was a bit stronger cuz I do love a strong matcha but the other flavor is this makeup for that. The atmosphere is really cute and I really enjoyed hanging with my friends for a few hours. I highly recommend this place. The staff is really nice and helpful. It does get busy so sometimes there could be a wait but sometimes it can be fast so it just depends how busy it is. read more

All the drinks are pretty good, but our favorite is the strawberry matcha. The banh mi dac biet could use some meat that isn't dried out, but I am not sure what technique they use to cook one of the pork fillings since I've tried it 3x and it's always dried out. The banh mi pickled veggies do not have the tangy kick to it like traditionally. I have already tried their strawberry creme croissant in the past which was amazing, but did not see it the last few times. Their sticky rice with all the toppings was good too. The drinks come out pretty fast but the food comes out a bit slower. The staff are pretty friendly and decor is so esthetically appealing. read more

I've had this on my list of places to check out for months now and finally made it happen! First off, the interior made me feel like I'd been transported to another city! This shopping center hasn't changed much in 30yrs, but upon entering I instantly felt like I was visiting a cute cafe in Washington D.C. The cashier was super helpful with giving recommendations on the coffee flavors and helping me narrow down today's choice. I opted for the Ube Vietnamese coffee which was delicious! The ube wasn't overpowering and balanced with the coffee quite naturally. I also couldn't resist the pastry offerings which range from savory to sweet. I can never pass up a savory treat and selected the spinach + feta as well as the parmesan + scallion (which was advertised as a new menu addition). For the sweet treats, I opted for the strawberry beignet, Black Forest cookie and the classic pain au chocolat. All were very good and not overly saccharine. My favorite was the Black Forest cookie. Cannot wait to return and try out the rest of their menu offerings. Highly recommended. read more

I've been wanting to try Mây for months. Today was a good day, 12:30pm on a Tuesday. Not busy at all. There was a handful of diners, some to-go/takeaway. I order to-go from their online system. Pick up time was 12:34 pm, but it wasn't ready until about 12:50. Slightly disappointed, especially for people who are on their lunch breaks. That's wasted time. Mây did an amazing job with cultural representation a collection of books, colorful tiles and mural. Spacious layout and good seating options. They offer free water (self serve) and condiments in 2 corners of the cafe. The bathroom is nicely designed as well however, the toilet paper and paper towels weren't refilled. There's a sign posted to NOT flush used toilet paper. No trashbag in the trashbin. The restroom did have a stench because soiled toilet paper in the bin. The food, we ordered a medium strawberry match latta. It was delicious, good proportions of the strawberry purée, milk, and matcha. The banh mi was ok, I always order Dac Biet- they put char sui too, which overpowered the traditional Vietnamese deli meats. I would request to remove that next time. The pickled daikon and carrots needed more flavor, not tangy and sweet. There was no cilantro, so big disappointment for me. Some bites were sour, could be the mayo pate? The ratio of vegetables could've been better, i felt it was skimpy. The baguette was crunchy and soft in the middle, it was a good vessel. The kids meal, my daughter ate it, it was a typical marinated pork, nothing to complain about, they even served it with a fried egg. I would try their pastry's next time and come back for their drinks. Description from their online menu; Special banh mi dac biet - Vietnamese ham, cold cut, pork floss, char siu, oven-baked bagette, paté, egg mayo, carrots & daikon, cilantro, cucumber, jalapeños, drizzled in char siu sauce and sprinkled with black pepper. Kids grilled pork & rice - Grilled Pork, Scallion Oil, Cage-free fried egg, and fried spring roll served with rice and side of sweet fish sauce. read more

Overall: May Bakery & Cafe was fantastic, would come back! Food: The drinks at May Bakery & Cafe were fantastic. Wide variety of drinks and interesting combos. The drinks were all on the sweeter side, but that's how I like my coffee. Incredibly fresh strawberry matcha latte, very refreshing. Service: Quick service, order at the front and get a pager once your drink is ready. Ambiance: The inside was really nice, lots of seating indoors and a chill ambiance that makes it great for a chat or to do work in. read more

After 5 days in Raleigh, I wish I could pack up Mây and bring it back home with me! After being the first "foodie" stop on my list for holiday travel, and finally sampling multiple items from the bakery -- but namely the Vietnamese Coffee -- I'm hooked. The space is located in a plaza with multiple shops and restaurants, right on the corner, it's visible from the street. Step inside and it's a bright and airy atmosphere, welcoming you to savor everything they have to offer in a modern space with comfortable seating in various forms. I came for the coffee but was swayed into dessert! As someone who drinks my espresso shots straight and my coffee black, I know that Vietnamese coffee is too sweet and rich for me; however, when at Mây... I opted for the Tiramisu Coffee at 75% sweet which was divine: smooth, rich flavor, with great caffeine boost, however I should have gone with 50%. Daughter opted for the Mango Matcha Latte which was divine, especially after mixing with her straw, to get the full punch of layered flavor. We also enjoyed the Spinach and Feta Tart, Matcha Tiramisu. Before flying out, we made sure to stop by again and our family of four was oh so happy enjoying our various drinks for the road: Ube Matcha Latte, Tiramisu Coffee, Tiramisu Matcha Latte, and Lavender Latte. Being our first time here, the staff members were incredibly kind and patient with walking me through the menu and making recommendations to help me make the best choice. Everyone was helpful and kind! Again, this beautiful space beckons you to stay. If this space was closer to home, I could picture myself stopping in for to-go orders -- but also sticking around for hours on end for remote work, quiet reading, and meeting up with friends. Until next time! read more

I visited again on a Sunday morning and it was much busier than usual. I got the Mango matcha latte this time which wasn't as good as the strawberry in my opinion. I also had the spinach and feta croissant (toasted) which was REALLY tasty so no complaints there. The service here is amazing and it's such a beautiful place to just chill. read more

May Bakery is a very cute cafe near Triangle Mall. It is spacious with plenty of seating and lots of desserts, food, and drinks. Our drinks came out quickly. We got two matchas, a Vietnamese coffee with ube, a matcha tiramisu, matcha shortcake, and mango coconut cake. We enjoyed all the desserts, with each of us having a different favorite cake. We weren't super crazy about the matcha drinks. Not sure if it was too watery or not flavorful, but we wouldn't get it again. The star of the show however was the Vietnamese coffee. After trying it we were all left wishing we got the same thing. Although we didn't order food there is plenty on the menu to try and I would come back to explore the different options! read more

This cafe was so cute and I absolutely loved the aesthetic! We sat at the table with the tree in it. Yes it was a real tree. We went during their Soft opening. Not all menu items were available. I got an Ube coffee because I love and have to try anything ube. I wanted to eat noodles. They had got rid of there vermicelli menu items. So I ordered the Grilled pork and broken rice. It was good. It was average, not gonna lie I have had better. But I would go again for the drinks and atmosphere, I'd like to try their pho. read more

Bright, welcoming Vietnamese cafe in North Raleigh. I despise driving on Capital Blvd, but May Bakery & Cafe is worth it. The display case is full of mouthwatering pastries and the menu offers a variety of Vietnamese coffee and ceremonial grade matcha options. They also serve food (I have only tried the fresh summer rolls). Once you order you can take a seat and they bring it to your table. We enjoyed each of the items, the summer rolls, chocolate hazelnut pastry, ube bun, and the black sesame matcha latte. I cannot wait to return and order the exact same things. read more

One of my new favorite places in Raleigh. Mây Bakery & Café is the perfect spot for a hang out with delicious Asian food and great coffee. I came for the first time and ordered a capuccino and a pepperoni and cheese croissant. They were both delicious. This place is cebtrally located with plenty of free parking in its own parking lot. The staff is friendly and professional, common areas are clean and comfortable and the place is very Instagrammable if you are into posting in social media. Overall, 100% recommended. read more

I really enjoyed the strawberry match from May Bakery & Cafe. The area gets super busy. I went to a few other businesses to give the rush time to calm down here. The staff seem so busy that there isn't much time for pleasantries. I do recommend trying May's but I'd have to find low key times to return. I visited on a Thursday afternoon. read more

Didn't know what to expect coming in today, came for a mid afternoon coffee and realized this place is also a pho place. We didn't get the pho but we did try the spring rolls which were okay, I think I wish the sauce was more peanut-y if that makes sense. But the service was friendly and quick. The only complaint I may have is that I seemed like no one was cleaning off the tables. It took a little bit to find a clean table to sit down at. read more

My my May! What can I say about May(translated to clouds in vietnamese) .... I must say for being the first week of being open, it is running smoothly and staff are great ! As soon as you pull up to May you do not know what to expect ... especially be located on CAP BLVD... but dont be scared.. as soon as you open the door you are transported to an elevated modern clean vibe with a whole living tree in the center of the space with a sky light over it to give it natural light ! The space is beautiful and layed out perfectly.. Interior is actually imported from Vietnam and designed to match the vibe and menu .. The menu is simple but offers the perfect sample of an elevated taste of Vietnamese cousin. The coffee is a must to go here and so are the milk teas... yes the owners have sourced and perfected one of the best coffee beans and teas in the world to produce you an amazing drink ! Oh and if you come here on a date and forget a bouquet of flowers... dont worry they have you covered ! There are fresh bouquets of flavors available for your special date! The desserts are all home made and damn it can say the star is the flan ! The Tamarind Wings are also a hit and same with the savory chicken and sticky rice dish ! Ohhh and the crab fried squares... dont sleep on it ! It's an amazing dish and something you will not find anywhere locally in the Triangle! I did not try the pho yet but have heard ... that they chef was taught by a Vietnamese celebrity chef back in Vietnam... So definitely will be back to check it out and get more of the black sesame coffee .. which is rich and velvety and damn so good ! Truly would recommend giving May Bakery And Cafe a shot ! Bonus points for it being open late as well ! read more

I wanted to love May so much!!! It's always great to find cute new restaurants in the triangle area...and I love good Vietnamese food!!! May is super cute inside...tastefully decorate with beautiful murals, SE Asian inspired art and funky neon signs. Counter service (not my favorite, but okay). The staff was friendly enough but not terribly helpful with the menu. Where May really fell short was the food. Freighting expensive and alarmingly average. My pork vermicelli was okay...meat was too chewy and gristly. And my friend's filet was so tough she couldn't finish it. Overall an average meal...but at an absolutely premium price. We both felt the meal wasn't worth the price we paid. I would love to try their pho...but $22 for the Pho Dac Biet?!? Just...no. Sadly, I doubt I'll be back. There are abundant choices for food in the triangle. For the price, there's far, far better. read more

Fantastic place, a good amount of parking in a pretty great foodie area. The place itself is bright and cheery and has a simple and classy-fun vibe. The menu items seemed slightly higher than other similar cuisine-places BUT the food was worth it. We started with a banh mi as a shared appetizer, then had the Kalbi beef vermicelli plate and the meat pho. We ordered an ube cheesecake as a takeaway and it was divine. Thanks and we hope to stop again when we come through the area. read more

This was our first time finally getting a chance to try this place after months of wanting to. We had an order for 4 people. 2 drinks 4 entrées. My food and the spring rolls came out with not much of a wait but the rest of the families meal didn't come out until an hour and 20 mins later. Everyone else in the restaurant had gotten their food we had to tell them we were still missing most of our order. The food was just ok. The drinks despite having lots of choices lacked milk teas and other types of boba drinks so not a lot of options for everyone. We were very disappointed in the service here and the all around experience. The restaurant is beautiful and I love the mural they have painted and the many other details they added. If they could be more organized I think service would be great. read more

Amazing Vietnamese coffees and matcha with unique flavors: black sesame, ube, CHEESE coffee , tiramisu and many more. The coffees are delightful and not too sweet. The only food I've tried was the tamarind wings and fries. I didn't like the cook on either (hence the 4 stars). The wings were soft, not crispy. The fries were soggy not crispy. I could barely taste the tamarind sauce so they were a no for me but others seem to like them. I shared my concern with a worker on my next visit and he said he'd share it with the kitchen . Service is always great and it can get crowded on the weekends. The space is clean and there's plenty of seating. Don't forget to take your picture under the Pho King Good Coffee sign. Iykyk . I will definitely be returning to try other menu items. read more

I'm not one to post bad reviews often. I've been here multiple times and have had a good experience in the past. All the drinks are made with A LOT of ice. Ordered a large strawberry matcha with light ice and this is what we got. Not to mention it took about 10 mins just make this one drink. We ordered light ice because the last time we ordered with regular ice, we literally weren't able to stir the drink with how much ice was in the drink and with the flimsy straw. I don't think i'll be coming back for drinks anymore. this $7 for a large... this was such a RIP OFF!!! Save your money and go somewhere else for drinks. read more

A friend recommended us this place to try and it did not disappoint. The food here is amazing! We ordered their Hot Saigon Wings with fries which was packed with flavor and juicy with every bite. We also got their Grilled Pork with Broken Rice which was delicious, however the Traditional Pho lacked in flavor. As for our drinks, we were recommended their Ube Matcha, which was perfectly made and well balanced, and their Jasmine Tea Latte, which tasted great. Although their food was delicious, their service could use some improvement. Upon arriving, we were told they had no menus and we got seated at a table for 6, when there was just the two of us. After a couple of minutes of sitting there looking at their menu (which we found on yelp), we were asked to move to a different table to open up the current table for a larger party. Once we got to our new table, it took about 10-15 minutes for someone to realize we haven't ordered yet. When we placed our order, it took about another 10-15 minutes for our food to come out. When it did come out, we had to ask for utensils and sauce. Mind you, we were given one napkin for two people. I would also like to add that I was very patient and understanding with the waiter/waitress since I was told they just recently opened. The restaurant itself was very clean, modern, and bright. Their decor and choice of color made the place very appealing. Service 3/5 Food 4/5 Aesthetic 5/5 read more

Clean and friendly staff. We came early so their selections of baked goods were limited but the coconut mango and matcha tiramisu were delicious. Coconut and ube coffees were equally delicious. Our intent was to come early and get their coffees and pastries. Didn't try any of their Vietnamese dishes. Plenty of tables although it can get busy. Aesthetically pleasing and furnished with modern decor. Lots of parking. Don't forget to get a photo of yourself with the Pho King Good Coffee background. Yes that's exactly what it says. For those Americans who can't pronounce phở correctly . We will definitely come again for their yummy coffees. read more

It's disappointing because I was planning to start coming here more often. I ordered a matcha strawberry latte heated up, a drink I've already gotten here multiple times (with different people so they can vouch I'm not crazy) it has become my favorite drink so I was really looking forward to it, so I was confused when I was told it never was a thing and couldn't be made. They ended up making it anyway. The cashier was nice, the barista was alright. I politely asked her if they could check with a manager or possibly suggest it as a regular option because it's really good, especially when it's cold out, and the response was "no we don't do that" which felt dismissive, especially given that I've ordered this same drink here before. The interaction left me feeling slighted and invalidated. I could've atleast gotten a genuine apology for being mislead or confirmation that they'll consult it to the manager. It's unfortunate, because I was genuinely ready to become a regular customer. Ive worked in a cafe and food service so I know how it is from the other side and this could've been handled a lot better. I've also noticed the sanitation score has gone down significantly at a 94 which adds to the overall disappointment. It checks out because the walls and the tables often look dirty and not wiped properly. read more

Upon arriving, a host greeted us and we were seated. The server started us with water. Summer rolls - only came with shrimp. No descriptions on the menu. Banh mi - I requested no pate and just Vietnamese ham. The bread was not Vietnamese bread. It was not toasted and served cold. It was chewy. The kitchen initially messed up the order and it was corrected. Pork chop with broken rice - one pork chop, one egg quiche, and few slices of tomatoes and cucumbers with fish sauce for $17.50. Also took over 15 minutes to be served lukewarm. The server was very sweet. She checked on us and made sure we were good. There's def lots of improvements needed. For a bakery, the options were quite limited. For the price...not worth it. read more

Finally a great Vietnamese restaurant in Raleigh! Our 3rd time here. May Cafe and Bakery is a true gem! The food is absolutely delicious--everything is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is cozy, charming, and perfect for a relaxing meal or a casual coffee break. Whether you're stopping by for a quick pastry or enjoying a full meal, May Cafe and Bakery never disappoints. Highly recommend! We had the Oxtail Pho which my 10 years old Son loves!
