    My husband got a latte and I got an iced mocha
    Alanna W.

    My husband came here since we were nearby for a doctor's appointment and it was a great find. The coffee was delicious - I always get an iced mocha at a new (to me) coffee shop and it was a great balance of flavors - the coffee was strong but the sweetness from the chocolate was perfect. The avocado toast was a bit pricey as all avocado toast seems to be but I liked the combo of flavors and that I was able to customize it to have what I wanted on it.

    Salmon toast, iced latte,  Carolina crunch
    Les B.

    Nice area, fast delivery of food and drink. Got an iced latte with coconut, pup Cup, Carolina crunch ice cream, and the salmon toast. The Carolina crunch was pretty sweet but that's because it's real sweet buttercream as the base, The Latte was good but I had to go back and ask for extra coconut pumps because I needed it a little bit sweeter. The salmon toast was decent but I feel a little expensive for one slice of toast. That one slicebalone was $12 dollars. Nice quiet Pleasant place to go and I would suggest if someone would like a nice little place to sit and have a drink or a small bite.

    Blueberry matcha
    Andi W.

    I popped in here one morning to grab a little bite to eat in a Matcha and thoroughly enjoyed it! I got their blueberry Matcha that you could tell had fresh blueberries and I got their salmon toast. The salmon toast was so good and had pickled onions and filled me up just enough.

    I got the matcha ube. It was so yummy. This place is so great and I love all the unique combinations of drinks. They always hand whisk it. This staff is exceptional. They are so friendly. The area is really cute to hang out with and grab coffee or matcha with Friends.

    Smoked salmon and avocado toast, May 2026.

    Bottom line: Simmer Coffee House served up a tasty morning meal in avocado and smoked salmon toast with latte. Nice atmosphere and very welcoming helpful service encountered. Do note eggs are only hard boiled on the toasts here. The Deets: Going out of my normal weekend routine, I decided to venture out to Simmer Coffee House located at Amberly Place in Cary. I had seen this one pop up on my Yelp feed so naturally I was curious. I got there fairly early, right after opening, but it started filling up fairly fast so appears to be a popular stop. The shop itself is nicely appointed, clean, bright, and welcoming with plenty of inside and outside seating. They offer a nice variety of items on their menu some of which include coffee beverages, matcha, ube, "build your own toast" items, even ice cream/sorbet. Service/staff was very welcoming and helpful when I approached to order at the counter. Loved that they used my name not only to place on my order but addressed me by name when the order was delivered, I like personal style service. I went with a hot skim latte and a toasted with avocado/smoked salmon. I wanted scrambled egg on my toast as well but they do not make eggs any other way than hard boiled here (I am not a fan of hard boiled eggs, a me-thing). I know of a few coffeehouses that serve eggs hard boiled only, this shop is one of them. When my order was delivered in good time, I enjoyed my day-starting meal. The latte was served in a nice mug since staying in house and tasted great. My smoked salmon avocado toast was equally good as well. Overall a nice visit to Simmer Coffee House and I would consider it more 4.5 stars all things considered.

    This is a great matcha spot! The service is amazing, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They accidentally made the wrong drink for my partner, but when we let them know, they handled it professionally and remade it quickly without any issues. We really appreciated their excellent customer service and positive attitude. We'll definitely be back!

    Mango matcha
    Brooke S.

    Today I went to Simmer house and got a mango matcha, and a mango sorbet. It was so refreshing! The mango sorbet was a perfect balance of sweet and sour, I couldn't stop eating it! I'm very picky about my matcha... but this one passed the test!! It was the perfect color, the mango flavor was perfect. I will definitely be back. The staff was very kind and made me feel welcome.

    I absolutely love Simmer Coffee House. I try to visit at least twice a month. If I lived near by, I'd be there everyday!!! The customer service at Simmer is the best in NC. From the owners to the baristas, everyone is so friendly, and so intentional. They always remember me. Special shoutout to Matthew!! It's super cute inside, cozy, yet spacious. You can grab a table or sit on a comfy couch. I dream about their coffee, it's so amazing. I make sure I try a different latte every visit! Sad to say I've only had the salmon salmon & capers toast, but I loved every bite. The next chance I get to sit in and enjoy my visit, I'm trying another toast. The pastries are super yummy as well. They also have matcha, teas, cocoa and a variety of cold beverages. I went in today and they now feature local artisans goodies. I purchased a bag of Chad's Carolina Corn, Gourmet Popcorn. If you're ever even remotely in the area, you have to stop by and experience Simmer House for yourself.

    I came here with my husband to grab some coffee. There's lots of parking options and they had a ton of non-stop business during our visit, which looked really good considering this was our first time there. There are plenty of tables and chairs whether you prefer to enjoy the sun out on the patio or sit inside. I came during a Yelp event (review on actual event page) but my husband is not Elite but still tagged along. He ordered a latte with raspberry syrup. The wait for his coffee was typical of any cafe and they brought it directly to him instead of calling out his name. The staff here are very friendly and caring to their customers. I did have a few sips of his coffee because it was really good! If we didn't live over 35 minutes away, we would definitely be frequent visitors for sure. Next time we find ourselves in Cary, we will have to stop by again.

    Menu - a variety of specialty drinks both coffee and non coffee

    Tucked away in a quaint Cary neighborhood, Simmer Coffee House is quiet, cozy, and has easy parking right in front. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, making it perfect for any kind of day. Service was kind and quick, and the owner, Solomon, and his team were wonderful. They are friendly, welcoming, and eager to help personalize your experience (recommending drinks, sharing the story behind their concept). I've tried a few items on the menu so far, and everything has been delicious--especially the strawberry matcha latte. It's bursting with real strawberry flavor (lot of strawberry at the bottom of the drink!), so if you enjoy fruity matcha drinks, do not miss this one! I've even heard people drive from Charlotte just to try it! If you prefer a stronger matcha taste, I'd recommend the coconut or ceremonial matcha. Although I mainly see myself coming here for their matcha, their coffee is excellent too, with fun seasonal options like honey cinnamon and Irish coffee for the fall. They all sell their own coffee beans at a very reasonable price. The food is just as good, including freshly made toast (both savory and sweet) and pastries sourced from La Farm Bakery. A perfect place to spend a relaxed afternoon, sipping an iced matcha in the sunny alleyway. Definitely a very welcomed addition to Cary and a hidden gem!

    I absolutely love neighborhood coffee spots that keep things simple no overcomplicated menus, just great coffee and fresh bakes. Because really, what more do you want from a coffee place? A good cup that isn't overly sweet, and something freshly baked to go with it. Well, Simmer nails it. It's tucked in a cozy neighborhood market perfect for relaxing, chatting, or just taking a break. My daughter and I tried the Hot White Mocha, Iced White Mocha, Avocado Toast, and a warm chocolate cookie. The coffee actually tasted like coffee (not sugar!) and I love that they offer milk options. The avocado toast was delicious, and the cookie was just as good. It's close to home, and I can already tell it's going to be my go-to spot. The little gnome on the cups is adorable, and the whole place has such chill vibes. A must-try! I wonder what is story behind picking Gnome as a logo! I will ask next time

    My first visit to Simmer Coffee House was positive and full of "that's it!" moments. First off, Solomon and his team are amazing! They made time to chat with my friend and I to discuss the menu options, local artists displayed within the store and spoke about the concept of the coffee shop. It was great to support a local business, but to also interact with such warm personalities. The vibe of the coffee house is calm and relaxing. There were a number of customers on their laptops and a few chatting. It seems like a great place to work remotely or to meet a friend for a latte. It might even be a good spot for a book club meeting. The menu has a number of options. I ordered the White Mocha Latte. That was my first "that's it!" moment. My second moment was the Salmon and Avocado toast. This menu item is full of flavor. The pickled onions and capers add a special touch to the dish. It's definitely a must order. I can't wait to go back to Simmer Coffee House. I have to try their Honey Cinnamon latte. I was a little mad at myself for missing that menu item. I can't wait to try it.

    I could honestly come here every single day. It's the perfect spot to study or just hang out, and the food is great. They use La Farm Bakery for their scones which is awesome. It's also one of the few places where the flavored coffee actually tastes like the flavor you ordered. Their matcha is super fresh too. Matthew is an incredible employee and will learn your name and bring you water before you even ask. Nangi (sorry if I spelled that wrong) is always so friendly with the brightest smile. They both deserve a serious raise. This place is a 10 out of 10 coffee shop for sure.

Seating is genuinely plentiful: a full dining room of marble-top tables inside plus a large fenced patio out front shaded by trees and umbrellas. Easy to grab a spot whether you're solo with a laptop or meeting a group. The pastry case is where the variety really shows off. Beyond the expected croissants, almond pastries, and fruit danishes, there's a deep savory lineup -- the Pastry Frank, Hot Dog Roll, Bourdin Garlic Cheese Quiche, and a Pepperoni Pizzetta among them. The standout (and most photogenic) was the hot dog roll: a whole frankfurter wrapped in glossy bread, crowned with crispy panko, ketchup-mustard drizzle, and a sprinkle of parsley. Equal parts strange and delicious. Plenty of room, plenty to choose from, and consistently solid quality. A reliable spot for a coffee, a pastry, or a savory bite.

I was…read moreso excited to learn we had a Paris Baguette in the area after visiting the VA Beach location about 3 weeks ago. I was headed out to my cousins house not far from there and thought I would scoop up a few things for us to snack on. I knew I wanted the fruit tarts and they are pure perfection in my opinion-I bought 4 in total-I ate one the second I got into the car and the rest were had later in the day. I also wanted to try some of their savory options as when I was there a few weeks ago, they were sold out of the ham and cheese croissant and was really excited to give it a try, and wow it was worth the wait! I also got a pepperoni pizza and some sort of pastry with a hot dog in it. We cut each of the savory options into third so we could sample each item. Everything about the ham and cheese croissant was pure perfection and was the favorite of all three of us! I hate that I didn't take any photos of the building-the outside was nothing special but pastries were beautifully displayed and they had so many options to choose from! The rest room wasn't super tidy, but it was bad either-it was a very busy Sunday afternoon! Now to breakdown the customer service piece that prevented me from giving y'all a perfect score, please do better! I was not greeted when it was my turn, in fact there were two people at registers and after both finished they both walked away without saying anything. So, I stood there and waited and at this point no one was behind me. I don't recall the name of the young man that checked me out. I said hello and asked how do I sign up for their rewards program? I'm not sure he understood my question. I asked again and he told me that I had to sign up for it. There seemed to be a disconnect so I just asked if I could sign up for it later and get credit for the large purchase I was making and all he said was he would give me a receipt. He rang up my pastries and I then asked if he could package the sweet and savory items separately and he seemed annoyed. I also ordered myself an iced chai and he seemed bothered that I wanted a drink. At this point there was a really long line of people and he was not efficient in our encounter at all. I truly believe customers service makes or breaks and experience and sadly, this guy missed the mark after I spent $40+! I'm hoping he was just having an off day.

Ironically, I went here because I rarely get out to eat and the service has always been consistent. 1. There was no one at the cash register and an employee who was just about to go on break took my order. He was polite enough but I found out later that he put in the wrong order. 2. There were no tables that I saw that were wiped off. Some had the dishes removed but I needed to wipe off a table. 3. A cockroach scrambled across the floor near my table to the left of the coffee station. I wish I was joking, or seeing things but I wasn't the only person who saw it. One of the female employees went toward it and stepped on it but since it was headed toward my table, I moved. 4. It was really hot in there. Maybe not AC completely broken hot, but AC on the struggle bus hot. There was a large fan in the back dining room that wasn't doing much of anything except redistributing humidity. 5. I ordered an avocado toast with bacon and got delivered a grilled cheese sandwich. The server took it back but then I needed to ask for the bacon. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture because the same dish on Sunday was so elaborate and beautifully presented and the same order today was just meh. Not a good value for the price. I will say the server correcting someone else's mistake was clearly overwhelmed but doing her best. She was also the cockroach killer. I ate my lunch and read my book. My intention had been to linger a while and read but I decided to leave. The place was about 1/4 full when I left but all the tables still had crumbs, food debris and water on them made it too unpleasant to stick around. Very disappointing. I don't see myself going back any time soon. I do love their bread but I'm sure I can find someplace more pleasant or go to the downtown location instead.

The Apfel (apple) turnover was delicious, as was the Heidelbeerkuchen (blueberry cake) and Zitronenschnitten (lemon bar). I saw a nice gentlemen there that day who I think may be part owner; based on what I see on their website I wonder if it was Herr Norbert. While waiting for another guy behind the counter to bag my goodies, I happened to mention (to who I think was Norbert) that I'm learning German, and he spoke some basic German to me! Which I understood - OMG, must tell my German teacher. A couple weeks later I needed to bring desserts to our monthly Book Club meeting, and Annelore's was my first thought. I decided to visit their actual store in Cary. Even though it's an hour away from home, I stopped by one day when I had to go to Raleigh for an appointment. An Annelore's employee helped me with selecting about six cake slices and 2-3 different bars, plus some German cookies. The inside of the store is very clean, and there are some places to sit if you'd like to eat there. The employees were kind and helpful (and patient, in my case, trying to decide what to buy for a Book Club group I'd never met in person). Annelore's German Bakery is a wonderful way to take care of your dessert needs and support a local business at the same time. If you need a dessert, cake, scones, or other treats for your home gathering, BBQ, church social, potluck, business lunch, or other event, I would definitely let Annelore's take care of that part for you! 10/10, highly recommend! SO good! Vielen Dank, Annelore's... Ich werde Ihr Geschäft bald wieder besuchen!

    With the weather sitting in that perfect sweet spot before the North Carolina summer heat takes…read moreover, I grabbed a seat outside and settled in with an Iced Vanilla Latte and one of Crema's famous Cragels filled with cream cheese. The latte was smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, just enough vanilla to complement the coffee. The Cragel was every bit as delicious as its reputation suggests: warm, chewy, flaky, and generously filled with cream cheese. A perfect coffee, a scrumptious Cragel, and ideal patio weather--what more could you ask for? This is exactly the kind of local gem that keeps me coming back.

    I'm not sure if I would come back here. I'm sure if I came on a non busy day and not peak time it…read morewould have been a better experience. It was very crowded there's not a lot of seating inside, they do have outside sitting. I did like how the inside looked and they had their pastries out front. I couldn't tell what to order and spent a few minutes trying to figure the menu out without getting overstimulated by the time I could even think about asking questions they had a really big line. I ended up ordering a medium cappuccino which I know see from other reviews that my disappointment was not just me. we did get a waffle croissant thing which was not bad. It tasted stale. So it was a bit tougher and chewier or I'm not sure if that's how it was supposed to be ? I'm sure if it was fresh it would have been better. My daughter ended up getting a fruit smoothie and a hello kitty looking Madeline that was banana flavored she really liked that. There are no prices on the things that aren't at their coffee station area. I did ask the guy up front that it was my first time here and I wasn't sure what to get, he just stared at me. Didn't say anything. And then corrected me when I asked for the waffle thing. Soo.. there's that. So I guess come here if you know what you want. Or come during non less busy hours. We only came by because it was across the street from our therapy appointment. But left more disappointed.. and I spent $22 with tip. Not even sure what I paid for or the prices it all happened so fast. So go here don't go here. We will probably try another place.

    Cozy neighborhood café-bakery with a sprawling chalkboard menu and a pastry case that's hard to…read morewalk past. I went savory: a chicken salad croissant (flaky, generously filled, with a side of bow-tie pasta salad and a creamy poppyseed slaw) and a pressed caprese-style panini with tomato, mozzarella, and basil grilled to a deep golden crisp. Both solid, satisfying lunches. On the drinks, the cold brew made with Joe Van Gogh beans was great--smooth and well-balanced. The iced café au lait was acceptable, nothing memorable but it did the job. The bakery case alone is worth a stop: cannoli, cranberry almond muffins, strawberry streusel coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, brownies, and a rack of croissants. Friendly counter service and a comfortable spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or lingering with a coffee. Worth a return visit. Prices are very reasonable.

    This is a cute little bakery with plenty of outside seating and indoor seating! The parking is a…read morelittle bit limited because it is a very popular place and it's surrounded by parking that is designated for other businesses. When I went, there was a huge pothole as you round the corner so just be careful of that! The service is great and the way that the kitchen prepared my order was very thoughtful and careful with my daughter's dairy and egg allergy (which is hard in the breakfast place) and they made it work, cleaning the grill and changing gloves! As for the food, it was a little bit on the smaller end, but it was pretty great good flavor and a nice flaky on the croissants! We got the breakfast sandwich with bacon and they did a great job with them! The only complaint I would have would be that the sausage patty was a little bit on the dryer side, but not horrible. Breakfast Sandwiches 4/5 Service and allergy friendly 5/5 Sausage patty 3.5/5 Overall everything was good and would totally come back

    "VERY hole-in-the-wall Middle Eastern patisserie"…read more This gives hole-in-the-wall new meaning. The location is in a strip-mall that's set back a ways from 55, so it's not really visible from the street at all. However, it's weirder than that-- you have to drive AROUND the strip mall to the back, past the various loading docks for other stores, and they you see this place is open just from the BACK of the strip mall. I heard the owner is Algerian, but there are many Palestinian references and flags around the shop, so if that's triggering, then know this in advance before coming in. Still, the place is brightly lit and airy, with tables to eat. They do custom cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts, but we just wanted to sample some sweets. Hours are funny-- just midday Friday through Sunday. We ordered a pecan brownie and a pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa (shredded Middle Eastern pastry), as well as a mocha coffee. The mocha coffee was rich and delicious, as expected. The pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa was to-die-for... SO delicious. Super thick and messy, as you'd hope it would be. And of course the pecan brownie was amazing. I will say the pastries are not "cheap". I got a single tahini chocolate chip cookie to go for a friend, and that was $4.50 for a modest sized cookie. The other dishes above were in the $6 range. But these are unusual custom-made dishes, so it's fair.

    This is truly a hidden gem! We were so blown away by how delicious the pastries, cakes, and…read morebrownies we tried were. Staff were kind and it was a cozy and calm atmosphere. A must try!
