Tricia T.

Newer coffee shop off of Cleveland Rd near Pelicans! Loved the vibe inside, very cozy but upbeat, and plenty of seating inside and out. The service was friendly and she helped us pick an alternative drink, since one of the fall flavors was out. The coffee was good and they have fun fall flavors to try out. The avocado toast wasn't for me, the bruschetta kind of threw off the flavors for me but I enjoyed the egg on top. I think it's great they have kid snack boxes, makes for a family friendly outing! I will definitely be back to try more food items as well as coffee choices.

Staff is super friendly! Pumpkin latte was too sweet for me and I would go unflavored latte next time. Love the vibe inside. Seating inside and outside.

Really cute cafe! Lots of sugar free options with their coffee flavors. The staff are very friendly.

Mediterranean chicken sandwich

Interesting location for a coffee store. Sense Garner has completed road work on Hwy42 it can be a little trying to get here. At this of year the location was decorated for halloween which was cute. There is outside seating as well. Great coffee/drink choices as well as sandwiches during lunch. The counter staff was very nice and helpful as this was our first visit. There is a good variety of lite sandwiches to choose from. We ordered a chicken sandwich with balsamic drizzle and side salad as our side as well as a hot coffee and iced drink. Your order is brought to your table. The salad was of mixed greens, tomato, cucumber and croutons which had a good mix and good size. The sandwich was good, not cheated of chicken. Our drinks were good as well. Would return when in area.

Overall good place for a quick breakfast and coffee. They have tons of drink options and signature drinks. We had the sugar britches and funky monkey. Sugar britches is vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon it was great. The funky monkey is chocolate,peanut butter, and banana. It was good but you could only taste the chocolate. The breakfast sandwich and wrap are awesome. Next time I'm going to get the tacos because the looked amazing as well. They also have light lunch sandwiches and a few bakery options.

Ate lunch at the new location last week. I had number eaten there food and was pleasantly surprised. The sandwich was very tasty and the chip cooked to perfection. Great service and location with ample outdoor sitting.

No Filter (formerly Ugly Mug) in Garner feels like a great breakfast and brunch spot that also happens to serve coffee. The drink menu is huge, and it's clearly geared more toward flavored latte lovers than coffee purists. If you like creative, dessert-style drinks, you'll have plenty to choose from. Drinks: I ordered a cortado, but it came out more like a breve. Not a big deal, but not quite what I was expecting. I also tried The Alchemist -- an iced latte with white chocolate, English toffee, and raspberry. It was enjoyable, but definitely flavor-forward, with the syrups taking center stage more than the espresso. Food: This is where the place really shines. I ordered the chicken biscuit with Sriracha hot honey, and it was excellent. Crispy chicken, a great biscuit, and the sweet heat from the sauce tied everything together perfectly. Overall: If you're looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot with lots of fun drink options, No Filter is a solid choice. If you're hunting for a specialty coffee experience focused on the coffee itself, this probably isn't the destination -- but the food alone makes it worth the stop.

Lunch today at No Filter Cafe in Garner, North Carolina. We just happened to be in the area and looking for a quick lunch. Great atmosphere with a neat vibe. Friendly service and really great food! My husband had the Why-Yu Ugly Burger and he said it was cooked to perfection, not over cooked or under cooked, with tons of flavor! The fries were wonderful too! I had the Wafflewich and it was delicious with a touch of sweetness to the waffles. We both agreed it was a place we would eat at again and again!

Can't wait to try the strawberry foam mocha

Best bang for your buck and palette! Walking in this cafe, you're met with the smell of freshly baked goods, lots of life with bustling customers for a Sunday brunch. This Ugly Mug hands down had the best food I've ever had at a coffee shop cafe. We were so impressed with the quality, taste, presentation, and prices. The chocolate and strawberry foam mocha latte was so delicious. I inhaled it before being able to snap a photo. Service was overall excellent. It was funny when I asked about the "wrap" used for the breakfast wrap and they responded a tortilla. I'm still confused why not called a breakfast burrito. Nevertheless, 100% will be returning!

Two lattes and a mug shot.

Consistently the best cup of coffee in the area. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

This place has good eats and great coffee. I would say this place is a bit loud. If I needed to study or wanted to "work from home" it wouldn't be the place for me. You walk in, you order from the counter and then take a seat if you're eating in. They bring your food to the table but you grab your drinks from the counter. The parking can get a bit crazy. There are lots of business in the same area. So it's not always easy to find a spot.

The food is mediocre and way overpriced. I paid $17 for a large cold brew and a mugwitch breakfast sandwich. The coffee tasted burnt and bitter. I won't be coming back

I really was rooting for the owners, and I'm glad they've been able to last, unlike many of the other establishments on Bar Rescue. Moon Runners has its own private parking lot. It's not large and can be harder to find a park on a Saturday evening or higher-volume times. I've been a handful of times, and service has been great every time. I've sat at tables, but also at the bar, and all of the staff have been friendly and helpful. Some of the food I've had includes: - Apps: Corn Nuggets, Fried Brussels Sprouts, Southern Fried Pickle Chips - Entrees: Steak Salad, Chicken Caesar Wrap, Wilkes County Wrap I've enjoyed my food every time except the pickle chips. They were cooked well, but had way too much batter for my liking. I ended up removing most of the batter because it was so much. Most of the cocktails are centered around moonshine, and there are a ton of options. Additionally, they also have a full bar, so if moonshine isn't your thing, you still have plenty of options.

Drunk? 2am? Jonesing for an inimitable pecan waffles? This is your place…read more I'm aware of Waffle House's reputation, and, for the most part, it's all true. The clientele are often wasted, the staff is typically inexperienced, and sure, the cleanliness factor leaves something to be desired. But I think that there is a unique elegance to Waffle House. They don't lie to you like Olive Garden will - this is a no frills, upfront, and wholly unpretentious establishment. You know what to expect when you walk through those doors, and so do the Waffle House employees. For me, the biggest indicator of what I'm about to experience is when I see the cooks pop the good ol' Sunbeam bread (bought from Walmart) into the discount toaster, right in front of the patrons. Here's what I know: the food just tastes good. The waffle, doused in syrup, and, if you are so inclined, slathered in hydrogenated oil spread, is one of the better breakfast experiences you'll find anywhere, especially in a rinky dink part of the country. This review shall end in the true Waffle House fashion - no tact whatsoever.

Ended up asked the waitress are they taking any orders and she says she don't know but there's only one person that can you know do anything for me and that person was busy, but there were six people in there at 2 o'clock on a Sunday working in the restaurant just a very rude waffle house if you feel like somebody beating you down and ignoring you that's the place to go. too bad there's not a zero star option because this place would sure get it. What a rude bunch of people.
