    Vibes
    Francine G.

    This coffee shop has been on my list to try for months and since it was part of the RDU Coffee Crawl list for April, it was a sign that I just had to go! They just celebrated their second anniversary yesterday so I guess it hasn't been around for long but they have a lot of locals stop by and hang out for a bit. The space is massive, offering plenty of seating and lounging spots, super clean and just a beautiful aesthetic (maybe just need to give their plants some TLC lol) but the coffee was incredible! You can tell the baristas take pride in their craft and it shows with their drinks. I had the brown sugar flat white which was a recommendation from one of the regulars there and it was heavenly. It's a solid 40 minutes away from home but worth the trip!

    As much as I LOVE this place and their coffee, their 16oz special seemed small to me and when I poured it into my 16oz yeti, it only came about halfway up disappointing.

    Space: 5/5 Coffee: 3.5/5 Vibe: 4/5 One of my favorite designed shops in the Raleigh area, very well thought out. My cortado was bitter, which was disappointing; I'll have to try them again as this could've been related to them rushing on a Saturday. My wife's matcha was great though. Overall, would recommend and the best shop in this part of Raleigh that I've found.

    Baklava Matcha, drip root coffee, with bagels in shot pumpkin walnut cream cheese on plain bagel.  Great way to celebrate Fall.

    This place has lovely relaxed atmosphere and reminds me of the vibes in coastal Northern California up by University of Humboldt. place to placy chess in the back areas for sitting. definitely out new spot

    We've been to many coffee shops across the country over the years, and this one by far is the gold standard! The vibe, the creativity of the drinks (as well as quality of purist drinks like espresso), and especially the staff are absolutely amazing! They really made us feel welcomed, and we will definitely be back when we're in the area!

    I love the cute atmosphere here!! It's so so cute and the baristas are very kind. It's definitely somewhere you can hang for hours and just enjoy your coffee and do some computer work or read a book.

    Cappuccino. Done right!

    So happy to have a wonderful new 3rd Wave (maybe 4th?) coffee lab in town!! The space is beautiful...spacious and comfortable. Modern, without being pretentious...and very well appointed whether you're planning on posting up to work or just stopping in for an afternoon pick-me-up. The cappuccino was delicious. And next time I'll have to try some of the delicious treats they offer from Union Special. And I couldn't leave without complimenting the staff...Rachel & Jay were absolutely delightful!! I'm definitely looking forward to becoming a regular here!! Thank you Parallax Coffee for gracing our little town!

    Incredible gem of a coffee shop!! I was so impressed by the cool atmosphere and decor of the shop. I ordered a mocha latte and it was amazing, they really do high quality coffee here and I can't wait to come back and try their more seasonal drinks.

    If you're looking for a new modern spot for high quality coffee, this is the place to go. It's not as cozy as I wish, but it's definitely achieving a shwae aesthetic that a lot of people are drawn to. I got a chai latte, and I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor and spice. It was not sweet at all and perfectly spicy. Another bonus is that it's not crazy busy all the time and there are lots of couches and quiet spaces to work. I'll be back again to try some of the food!

    LOVE this addition to the quaint downtown scene This is a perfect place to work from, and meet others for coffee. Since I was working in between meetings. I grabbed a muffin. I'm not a coffee drinker but so love teas- this day they were out of tea which was fine since it was hot outside. They also have a space in the back with a long table if you want to meet others. I highly recommend you stop in and enjoy this cute shop.

    This coffee shop is worth the drive. They have unique coffees to try, but they also have your classics. The atmosphere is great. It's beautiful in there. We had multiple friends meet us here yesterday, and everyone one mentioned how cute Wendell is. There are also good restaurants and a thrift shop all walking distance, so you can make a whole day of the trip.

    Iced matcha latte with oat milk

    Got a delightful matcha latte here and did a little work ! Great service from the baristas. Will definitely be back with friends on a weekend. I do wish they had more alt milks than just oat.

    WHAT A EXPERIENCE!! Guys I grew up in the Rocky Mount/Spring Hope area which is right next to Wendell and I can't tell you how excited I was to come here. There interior design for one is EVERYTHING. But! I got their Earl Grey Morning Bun Latte HOT! Quite exceptional if I do say so myself. This definitely will be a pitstop for me anytime I am back visiting my bestie. The staff were very welcoming which is exactly how it should be at a great coffee shop. 10/10 highly recommend! Also I really gotta get some of their merch

    This is a hot chocolate that was amazing. The hot chocolate was so good I had two.

    What a cute and fun place to get breakfast! This was my first time at Sonder, the inside is cute…read moreand the workers were all very friendly. I've seen their coffee flights online and they always look delicious- spoiler, they are! I tried the mint chocolate chip, banana pudding, frosted animal cookie, and coconut lattes. The only one I thought was just okay was the coconut, the flavor was fine but something about the shaved coconut toppings and syrup didn't do it for me. The other three, however, were delicious! The frosted animal cookie was my favorite by far. I'd love to come back to try the other two flavors! I also tried the Sonder Smash- it was so tasty!! It's an English muffin with pesto, cream cheese, sausage, and an egg (I took off the tomato). It was super filling and delicious. I highly recommend! Overall- great spot with fun drinks and food. I recommend!

    Sonder Coffee is a very popular and charming spot in Wendell Falls. Upon arrival, the line was to…read morethe door and by the time we got to the register, the line was out the door. (So be prepared to wait--and maybe know what you want to order so you're ready when you get to the register.) Before heading out of town, a friend and I were recommended to pop into Sonder for the coffee flight. When we were ready to order, we were advised that they only had enough cups for one iced coffee flight, but they could do a hot coffee flight. Both wanting iced, we opted to get a regular sized coffee and smoothie bowl to go. Though disappointed about the inability to try the (iced) coffee flight, the lattes we did order and my friend's smoothie bowl were delicious! We will definitely be going back to try out their new location and the coffee flight!

    A Delightful Surprise…read more 41 North Coffee Co reminds me of 'The Little Engine that Could'. It's a rather small coffee-house / cafe that serves everything from Premium Coffee Concoctions to Biscuits & Gravy to Paninis & Quiche to Wings & Burgers to Steaks & Lasagna to Affogato with a Biscotti (Gelato with Espresso). I think it has the most diverse and extensive menu in our area, and everything I have tasted so far has been delicious. Inside seating a somewhat limited, so it can get crowded during peak hours. There are a couple of outside tables and the roof-top garden is open when the weather turns nice. Except for Sunday dinner, they are open for every meal every day of the week. The Chicken Salad Croissant was slightly sweet and piled high on a large flakey fresh-baked croissant. The Goat Cheese & Fig Panini came with Mozzarella Cheese, Bacon, fresh Spinach and a Balsamic Glaze pressed in Sourdough Bread. It was exceptional. Our grandson devoured a fluffy Waffle and pronounced it the best he had ever had. We also recommend the Spinach Artichoke Quiche - a generous serving of my favorite egg custard tart loaded with Spinach & Artichoke and gooey Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese. The Bacon, Egg & Gouda Sandwich is another winner. The Apple-wood smoked Bacon, Eggs and Cheese are packed into a toasted English Muffin. For something sweet, try the Oreo Cheesecake - simply delicious. One last thing - the Coffee is also very good.

    The food was good, until I found hair in it…read more We had just popped in for a quick brunch before heading home. They have a seat yourself service on Sunday, except there were no tables available since they all still had plates/trash on them. Took about 20 minutes until we could order, girl running the cashier was nice and helpful though. Food only took about 15 minutes for my family but about 25 for mine. Family had the Pressed Bagel with ham, egg, and cheese as well as the 3 cheese grilled cheese and I had the bacon, eggs, and side of home fries. Everything was ok, nothing out of this world but then I found a males hair in my food. I wasn't even a quarter into my food so that was extremely wasteful. To top it off, my daughter stood by the counter waiting for someone to help her grab a container for her muffin to-go and the man running that side completely ignored her several times. It wasn't until a young lady walked over that my daughter was able to get her attention for help. For the price we paid it was not even close to worth our time let alone our money. Besides the tables not being busted it was pretty clean, bathrooms were clean, and a cute set up.
