    Sunrise special with bacon,  Fresh Brewed Coffee
    JoAnna C.

    Visiting a friend and she said we had to go to Stuart's and it did not disappoint! Super cute place with indoor and outdoor seating, friendly, attentive staff, quick service, and wonderful coffee. Loved the Christian decor and family/welcoming feel. If you are in the area, it is definitely a great place for breakfast or lunch and coffee!

    Carmel Latte

    Delicious Carmel latte. Bring a book or a laptop and sit in the cozy ambiance. Friendly staff.

    Finally stopped in and was surprised of the display of God. Needed a spot like this. A place were God is in everything and displayed with no fear; the people, staff, food. A very peaceful atmosphere. Ordered french toast and orange juice. Comfort food is always good. They have turkey sausage if you do not want pork. They don't have wifi at the moment but will be getting it soon. Looking forward to returning. God bless!

    Always wanted to try but they close pretty early. Finally got a chance today - no school and for a leisurely meal. Nice and quiet. Chicken salad on a croissant- pretty good. Am I the only one who complain too much chicken I guess I like a bit more celery in it. But really good as is. Burger was huge but my son loved it Next time if I can be early I will try some those breakfast items.

    Love Stewart's bistro! The staff is incredible and the food is high quality. It's obvious they truly care about the business and environment they are providing to the community. They always go above and beyond.

    The ambiance here is so warm and inviting. The bistro walls are covered with uplifting messages of faith and hope. Everyone greeted us with a smile and provided exceptional customer service. My girlfriend didn't have the best morning, but the customer service here from Leanne (the owner) and ALL the staff really lifted her spirits. I had the Creme Brûlée latte which was a perfect blend of vanilla and caramel; sweet but not overpowering. It was perfect for this chilly winter day! I also really appreciated the wide variety of dairy free options that they had for my girlfriend. She ordered a dark hot chocolate and they had both oat milk and almond milk dairy alternatives! She tried it with oat milk and loved it. For our meal I ordered the French Toast and my girlfriend ordered the pancakes. The French Toast was the perfect texture (not too soft or hard) and tasted delicious. I love that they provided real maple syrup. My girlfriend said her pancakes were absolutely delicious and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I really appreciate that even though the restaurant was packed, Leanne took the time to have a conversation with me and make sure that I had a 5 star experience. We will definitely be back very soon for another amazing experience and to try some more of the menu items!

    Breakfast menu.

    I went there for the first time since the pandemic. They had remained closed for dine in until recently. This is a place where you order at the counter and then pick a table where the waitstaff will bring you your food. The place is clean and well staffed (at this time). The interior has a nice exposed brick wall by the counter and the storefront windows allow for a lot of light to come in. The owners are present and always friendly and accommodating. The food here is really good. It's fresh, consistent and always comes out hot. The "cawfee" is really good and I believe they use Carborro Coffee Roasters. They offer breakfast all day and begin to offer the lunch items at 11am. We are a fans of this place. Like I said the food is always good here and they have a nice menu to choose from. Just be mindful that wait times, especially on weekends, can be a little long, so get there early as the line can go out the door.

    Play kitchen, toys

    I don't know how we didn't find this gem sooner! Our large family stopped in on the weekend and grabbed some breakfast in this cute shop. There was a play kitchen for our kids to pretend serving us as we waited for our food and the lady behind the counter even gave us the table next to it so we could sit by the kids playing. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious- my kids ate their plates CLEAN y'all! My husband and I grabbed some coffees - they were one of the best latte and cappuccino we have had in the area and I can be admittedly quite picky with coffee. We love supporting local and we also love supporting small Christian businesses. You will find decor with bible verses everywhere and it's overall such a wonderful and peaceful feeling when you walk in. We will definitely be back!!

    Is this a $20 plate of food?
    Matt E.

    After not coming here for a while during the pandemic - and never posting a negative review on Yelp - I have to say this place has gone WEIRD? I'm happy if you have found god... but they have turned the decor into a VERY intense "push my faith on you"place. The food is mediocre and expensive too by the way. I spent $19.60 (w/tip) for cold toast, overcooked eggs, and harsh coffee. Too bad a local place has decided they needed to preach to their customers. So weird (& a bit scary)!

The restaurant was packed and had a strong 4-star rating, so with limited standout options nearby, it felt like an easy choice. My husband ordered the shrimp and grits, and I went with the chicken and waffles with a side of grits. I'm giving it 3 stars mainly because of the chicken. What came out were chicken tenders, which was disappointing. All the photos I saw beforehand showed full pieces like breasts or thighs, so getting two small tenders felt a bit underwhelming--I was honestly caught off guard. That said, the waffles were phenomenal. The grits were phenomenal. And the service was phenomenal. Overall, the ambiance, curb appeal, and especially the chicken brought this down from what could have easily been a 4.5 or even 5-star experience.

    We live in North Raleigh but regularly do our shopping in Wake Forest because it's so convenient,…read moreand once we're there, everything is close by, including lunch. The two of us eat at Over the Falls regularly and always enjoy it. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't written a review before. Lunch for two came to $65.80 + tax and tip, and there was more than enough food. I ordered one of my two favorites: the Ahi Tuna Pita (the other favorite is the blue cheese burger). I paired it with a side salad and blue cheese dressing, plus an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. My wife ordered The Barrel, their Philly cheesesteak, with a side of sweet potato fries. We also shared an order of house-made potato skins. It was far too much food, in a good way, and we took plenty home. Service was outstanding and truly a team effort. One moment stood out: when my wife hesitated to ask for sour cream for the potato skins, our server immediately said, "It's just 15 steps, let me get it for you." That small gesture made a big difference. The rest of the team was equally warm, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance works perfectly for us, lively, busy, and welcoming without feeling chaotic. I would be confident ordering virtually anything from the menu. We'll keep coming back.

The waitress…read morebrought an egg that was still coated in raw egg all over, one of the runniest most undercooked eggs I've ever been served, no exaggeration. I asked if they could cook it more, which I never do, I never send things back bc I'm afraid of insulting the person's cooking skills who is handling my food. But this egg was still clucking. She took the plate, walked into the kitchen, we heard chopping sounds for 2 seconds and she brought it immediately back. She was gone with it for seriously under 30 seconds. She set it on the table and announced "I didn't want to turn it brown" and walked away. The egg was exactly the same doneness, but now chopped up. I don't know why I let this peer pressure make me second guess my judgment and intuition, but we were traveling due to a family tragedy and I was just tired and stressed and needed to feed my hungry baby. So I fed her the egg. Halfway through, my breakfast was brought to the table with a well-cooked egg on the plate, so I swapped hers for mine. I guess Border just feels really strongly that adults need fully cooked eggs and babies need raw ones. Later that night, my baby vomited. Then again. And again. She vomited 7 times all through the night. I vomited once. Diarrhea all day yesterday for both of us. We didn't get to go see our sick family member, for whom we flew across the country. It was just such a huge stroke of bad luck that I felt the need to share... I hate to ream a humble business, but serving a raw egg to somebody for a baby is not cool. Especially when they asked it well cooked. And then to refuse to cook it more when asked. By a mom who is trying to protect her baby. And to pretend they had cooked it more when they clearly hadn't. Please listen to mothers when we advocate for our children. We truly know best for them.

It was delicious very flavorful food although my bf was like that would be good with white rice since Rooa vieja is stew like and so I ordered that as well and man....that was exactly what it needed (it should automatically come with it!) the meat was sooooo tender and juicy and delicious! Also I didn't realize what the tostones were so I ended up trading those for His maduros (which is what I thought I was ordering with the tostones...now I know better) The meat from his sandwich was also tender delicious well seasoned and make me jealous I didn't order it too! (Story continues) ....When our server came and asked how our meal was we definitely gave praises on the tasty meal but did ask him about the specials...he said "yeah it's on our board by the front door!!!
