Parallax has been on my list of coffee shops for some time now, and I finally made it today…read more It's located in downtown Wendell, which is so cute and cozy. There's plenty of parking surrounding Parallax. When I arrived there were 3 others enjoying the very beautiful coffee shop, but by the time I left it had gotten very busy. It's super pretty inside, very spacious and comfortable. I had 2 cookies, the chocolate chip cookie was ok, and the cinnamon roll cookie was delicious. I had a hot brown sugar latte and it was perfect. The service is good. It's a must if you're in Wendell or looking for a cute place to hang out. They are open til 5pm everyday but Sunday, they close at 2pm.

They let me sample their coffee to see which one i would like. It is located in an industrial building with wooden and metal pieces of vintage furniture which makes for a very cozy vibe. I feel great supporting this local business as they focus on high quality ingredients, giving back to the community, and taking care of the environment. What is not to love here! They have seating inside (some booths, a high table, and coffee table seating) and a courtyard which im sure is lovely during warm seasons. I was able to park in a booth and get some work done for a few hours. Its very calm with little distractions. I will say, their parking lot is limited to a few spots in the front but there is plenty street parking. Im not sure if you can park long but i wouldnt be afraid of parking there for grab and go! My only regret was not finding Larry's sooner. What a gem

Stopped by Pine State Coffee over the weekend as there are so many coffee shops I've been wanting…read moreto try around the triangle area. When you arrive there is parking available out front and also in the gravel lot behind the coffee shop. When you walk in you'll be transported to a woodsy feel, community driven coffee shop. To order you'll walk up to the counter to place your order. I ordered the 16 oz peach latte which just a heads up that the 16 oz has 4 shots of espresso in it. Since it was peach season I had to try their freshly made peach syrup. The latte was good and the beans were a bit more on the acidic side which I enjoy. You may want to stir the latte a bit as there was a bit of syrup at the bottom of the cup. Definitely check this place out if you are in the Mordecai neighborhood in Raleigh and are looking for good coffee.

Stopped by Black & White Coffee while looking for a cup of coffee downtown. I noticed that there…read morewas a coffee shop located in the local Videri Chocolate shop. Parking can be a bit tricky here as the coffee shop is located in the heart of downtown Raleigh. The vibe inside this coffee shop is bright and open. I ordered a caramel latte which was excellent and the latte art was also a nice touch. If you are trying to work remotely there isn't much seating available here. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely be stopping by black and white coffee for a cup of coffee.

The perfect coffee roaster might actually exist -- and it might be Black & White Coffee Roasters in…read moredowntown Raleigh. I'm a big fan of lighter-roasted, funky, expressive coffees, and Black & White absolutely delivers. Their roasting style leans into vibrant, fruit-forward profiles, and they do it with confidence. The downtown Raleigh location is fantastic too. It's right in the middle of everything, making it a great stop for a date night, meeting up with friends, or just dropping in for a quick but exceptional cup. Their seasonal menu was small but mighty -- just a couple of options -- but the kind where every drink looks so good you wish they'd never rotate them off the menu. I started with the orange cardamom flat white, and it was perfect in every way. Beautifully presented and incredibly balanced. The espresso, milk, orange, and cardamom all complemented each other without any one flavor taking over. It was nuanced, aromatic, and just a joy to drink. For my second drink, I ordered a Rodrigo Sanchez pour-over, a co-fermented Colombian coffee labeled with passion fruit notes. It was everything I want from a pour-over -- bright, juicy, and expressive, with the kind of sweet stone fruit and berry notes that make light-roasted coffee so exciting. Black & White continues to prove why they're one of the most respected specialty roasters around. If you love adventurous coffee with huge flavor and careful execution, this place is an absolute must-visit.

Beautiful spot!! Family ran business. I'm not sure why this place isn't flooded with people it's the only exclusive coffee shop in the area. The customer service has been pretty great both times I visited. They have interesting hours of operations as far as days they are open. Also, they do private events at this location. The ambiance is great experienced then seeing online. The mural is jaw dropping The canopies when the wind is blowing is just a cool experience. You feel like you have entered or visited a foreign country coming here. The very thing that makes this place special is the very reason some might not hang out but pick up and roll because the outdoor weather. Come here on any day they open and experience the weather art and great service! I recommend this place I will be back!
