    Breakfast Mugwich
    Ashley T.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    This place is too cute! My tea was absolutely delicious and refreshing. Service was fast and friendly. Love the decor inside. Looks like a great place to work/study or hang out with loved ones. Lots of food options as well.

    This place has a great vibe! Food, decor, and fantastic service. Thanks James. We came in for coffee yesterday and came back for breakfast today. Everything was great! You should go here!

    I've been trying to get here for over a year now and finally made it today. The music was good but the vibes of the employees were off. To give them the benefit of the doubt, it's close to closing time and my chai tea was yummy (half way filled to the rim) I probably wouldn't recommend this place. Sorry, not sorry.

    Breakfast Tacos (3) with sausage egg and pimento cheese
    Marie S.

    What a Great place! Plenty of parking. You can sit inside or out. I got my order for eat in. A very friendly man delivered it to our table. Best coffee I have had. I don't like coffee that is full of flavored creamer or extra sugars- I like coffee, touch of oat milk. Their coffee is delicious! I also had the 3 tacos- sausage, egg and pimento cheese. Overall they were good, the egg was so thin I couldn't taste it at al. The pimento cheese and sausage had good flavor.

    Summer menu! Tried the Chocolate Lava Cake - Iced - Medium

    Friendly staff! Cute atmosphere. Didn't order food this time but it smelled, looked, and all sounded delicious. Tried the Chocolate Lava Cake, iced with espresso about $5. Looking forward to coming back and trying something new!!

So we pulled off, took out the trusty Yelp app, and this place popped up. Pulling it, it was clear that they were popular and busy. We went in and there was a wait, about 15 minutes. We decided to hang around instead of worrying about "making good time" and are glad we did. Once we got a seat, we received great service. Our server always kept our drink full, and checked on us just enough. We never felt like we were searching for her. Looking at the menu, I was surprised to see that the prices were not unreasonable, even though it's a very trendy place. in fact, they had a $10ish lunch menu available with a few selections that even included a drink. I was more in a lunch mood so I went that direction, and got a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Food came out hot and in a reasonable time even with a full restaurant, so this is a well oiled machine. For the price, I was pretty impressed. I would say the sandwich was about the size of your average CFA chicken sandwich, but had a bold buffalo flavor that I liked a lot. They didn't skimp on the fries, and the ranch complemented it perfectly. We finished up and our server was on top of things getting us the check, so really we still made "good time" on our drive to the coast. I would recommend Brunches to travelers and locals alike!

There's plenty of seating, and the menu offers a lot more than just coffee -- with options ranging from craft coffee to beer and wine. I ordered a cortado, which was exactly the late-afternoon pick-me-up I needed. I had to take it to go (never the ideal way to enjoy a cortado), but it was still well prepared and nicely balanced. I also tried one of their seasonal drinks, the Bee Stings Latte -- an iced latte with honey, ginger, turmeric, and a little cayenne kick. It was a really unique combination and surprisingly refreshing. The spice and honey gave it a comforting, almost restorative feel -- the kind of drink that would be perfect if you're feeling a little under the weather or dealing with sore joints. My wife ordered the Raspberry Beret, an iced matcha with raspberry purée and white chocolate. Her verdict: the best matcha she's ever had. Between the creative drinks, solid coffee, and laid-back atmosphere, Full Bloom is a great spot in Garner whether you're settling in for a while or just grabbing something on the go.

For food, I got the Maple griddle which was very tasty. We were all wanting mimosas but they ran out of juice for mimosa so they were just giving champagne instead. My only complaint that I watched all my friends get theirs in beer glasses but mine came in a small container -__- I assume this may be the regular mimosa glass but I disliked the consistency and equality. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat upstairs, which was a decent sized area with great lighting and local art. Overall, it's a nice establishment in downtown Garner.

The salad included chicken, cucumber, pickled red onion, corn, crispy tortillas & oregano dressing. The salad was fresh and crisp. I really enjoyed this. I'd get double meat going forward. I also order myself carnitas (delicious) and one chicken quesadilla for my Mom. My mom is such a picky eater but she really enjoyed the quesadilla and was talking about how meaty it was for days. I'm happy with my purchase and I look forward to returning. I do recommend dining at Little Rey if you're in the area.

    "They have all the smoke"…read more My first time in the Ironworks area, and me like! Free parking and crossing guards directing traffic - wonderful! Ironworks is a mixed use environment with vendors hawking wears under canopies, alongside brick and mortar stores, shops, and restaurants. Little Rey's (IMO) is Alpaca Restaurant meets Mexican in the best way possible. The line for the food was a solid 30-45 minute wait. So don't be like me, have a seat, pull out your phone, use the code on the table, view menu, and order and pay. However, they have employees who greet customers and begin your drink menu while you wait in line. We ordered the half chicken, Gringa tacos, guacamole, and queso. Little Rey has a pretty extensive salsa bar, with approximately 7-8 varieties. The salsa bar spans the gambit from mild, mid-hot, smoky, and creamy options. The star of the show is the smoked chicken! So good with the corn tortilla, green salsa, grilled onions and grilled jalapeño! Moving forward I'll add an order of the chicken taco to get the perfect bit without the mess! The Gringa/Picadillo taco was good. And while I am a Gringa, and I love a Taco Bell sour cream situation, that almost mayonnaise flavor didn't sit well with my soul. However, the meat itself was super flavorful. I'd ditch the flour tortilla for corn , and opt for another salsa, add pico, and I think we are there. We weren't a fan of the rice, if I'm being honest - but will try again. While I didn't try any alcoholic beverages on this round, I'm stoked to try on my next visit. Plenty of seating, but can get awkward if there are long lines. The party is outside, so that maybe your best bet. Looking forward to grabbing a group of friends for round dos! Northern Mexican: 4.4444

I understand it gets busy here, but there HAS to be a better system. When it was formerly Steve's, they had a ticket pull system which seemed to work way better. The staff also don't seem to care about their appearance WHATSOEVER. One particular individual has an almost entirely bleached t-shirt with bleached hand prints on it...does the owner not supply new shirts for the staff?!?! 8/10 times that I order here, my food is completely wrong. Sometimes I even have to repeat myself multiple times just to get what I'm saying to be written down on the order sheet...it's nonsense. Honestly, I'd rather leave a lower review, but the bagel sandwiches are just phenomenal in my opinion when I get what I asked for on it! It's not the food here that sucks, it's the service! If the food tastes amazing I'm still coming, but I really wish the new owner could figure out something to get things moving quicker and the staff caring more about their appearance! I'm happy to update my review in the future if the service improves. Lastly, there really needs to be a blower above the door to keep flies out.
