I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and it was full of families with kids of all ages doing different types of artwork. I walked around and looked at everything while enjoying my delicious iced latte, made by one of their super friendly staff. It's a fun and unique place that's definitely worth a stop in.

When I walked in, there were two customers seated and two employees behind the counter. I walked…read moredirectly up to the cashier, who looked right past me without saying a word and then walked away toward the pickup area, where another employee was standing. That employee also completely ignored me, despite the fact that I was clearly standing there waiting to be helped. I was there to pick up a DoorDash order for someone else, but based on the way I was treated, I can guarantee you I will not be choosing to spend my own money at this establishment. I ultimately had to ask another customer who was standing in line if they knew where to pick up a DoorDash order. The entire experience was incredibly dismissive and unprofessional. A simple acknowledgment or, at the very least, "We'll be with you in a moment" would have made a huge difference.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

I really wanted to like Juice Bar but unfortunately it just wasn't for me. The service was great…read moreand the staff was friendly and helpful. The space itself was clean and nicely decorated, though it's pretty small inside. When I walked in, it smelled like the food would be amazing but the actual taste didn't match. The drinks were heavy on the veggie flavor, especially the ones with beets. The beet taste was overpowering and made it hard to enjoy the drink. I know it's a juice bar but I was hoping for more balance and freshness in the flavors. I also tried the avocado toast and didn't enjoy it. It had way too many peppers which made it spicier than expected and the avocado texture was off. It reminded me of mashed potatoes instead of fresh, creamy avocado. I hate leaving negative reviews but I believe in being honest. This spot had great service and a cute interior but the food and drinks just weren't for me. Mind you... I'm vegetarian. I won't be back.

My husband previously brought home a juice and immunity shots, which I really liked, so when we were in the area, we decided to stop by. The owner and the young man working alongside him were incredibly inviting and friendly, making the experience even better. We ordered the beet juice and two breakfast sandwiches--mine with scrambled eggs, Swiss cheese, spinach, and pesto on whole grain bread, while my husband opted for sourdough. Everything was delicious and freshly made. The environment was clean and gave off a refreshing, healthy vibe as soon as we walked in. Definitely a place we'd return to!

The service was very friendly throughout my visit and really appreciated the attentiveness from the sever. I ended up getting a hot Charcoal Mocha because it seemed like something you can't get anywhere else, it has activated charcoal, espresso, cocoa powder & a touch of coconut oil. I love that they serve their drinks out of fun mugs, it feels homey. To eat, I got the Charter Colony sandwich once I noticed they offered gluten free bread. They have a great game selection and play area for kids and I think this would be a great place to catch up with a friend. Will be back!

I bought several flavors of fudge during the holidays and they were a hit with my guests! This restaurant also features crafts, jewelry, and books from local artisans and authors, which I love since supporting community is a plus in my book! The menu is well thought out, I've been here for breakfast several times and the food is prepared to order! They also carry Cupertino bagels for an authentic NY experience! The server was also the owner and he was pretty cool... chatting with us and giving us some history of the place. We enjoyed his dry sense of humor! We also enjoyed the baked goods!! The prices were on point and we left feeling like a regular. In the back, there's a small kid friendly area for your tots to amuse themselves. Smart thinkin' Lincoln! We enjoyed this spot immensely and I'll be heading back there today for lunch!! Well done!! Love this place!

They have a lot of seating and the overall aesthetic is great. I also understand they serve ice cream and a variety of other drinks, including alcohol based. They also have food items. Let me just say my review is based solely on my drink because that's the only thing I had. I ordered a chai latte with almond milk, the total was about eight dollars, which I find to be more expensive than other cafés. The chai latte lacked flavor, with no strong notes of black tea or cinnamon to indicate that it is a chai drink. Honestly, to me, it tasted like hot diluted milk. I took about 3/4 sips before I poured the whole thing down the drain at home. It actually was just bad. Really, I should've asked the barista for another drink as this one was not up to standard. I was so disappointed in this as I was excited to experience a new café. Their menu is soooo extensive and I find with places that have such large menus, they usually aren't good. It's too many items that I guess they never get to perfect certain ones.

We split an egg sandwich that we ordered on a croissant. We got turkey, egg, cheese, and tomato. The sandwich was well balanced and the croissant was buttery and flakey.

The cafe was packed so I'm happy business is booming!

Seating is kind of limited, but luckily we were able to snag a table. I had fun checking out all the different book sections, but the banned book area was definitely the coolest part to me. I thought it was awesome that they give people the chance to explore those books so openly. I only got a cold brew, and it was okay. I wasn't a fan of their ice just cuz the shape just melts quicker and makes your drink watery fast. Aside from that, the service was really great. Everyone was super friendly and happy to help. The location is also really convenient if you're around the VCU Cary st area. Definitely a nice spot to relax for a while.

Upon entering, the books are found along the wall, there are tables and chairs to sit and the coffee is ordered at a counter right in the center of the store. Towards the back, they have a section just for kids and young adults. Also, there are plenty of parking outside. They have new and old books available at decent prices. One of the best things I have ever seen is they have a dedicated turning bookcase for BANNED books of Hanover county. It is a lending library. You choose a book, open it and scan the QR code inside and check off the book you picked. Then, you return it when you're done. No time limit on it. That easy. I am so proud that they are supporting these books and making it easy for anyone to have access to them. On this visit, I borrowed Jodi Picoult's book, Nineteen Minutes. I recommend you come visit and support this coffee/book shop in the VCU area. I definitely recommend it and plan to visit often.

There were several groups meeting during our visit, around 10am, one of which seemed like a small book club or something. It was cool, but seemed it could be a bit distracting for a working coffee shop vibe. They serve breakfast and lunch. As she frequents here, she challenged the menu, which said no breakfast after 10/1030, and sure enough they said breakfast was served all day. She ordered a breakfast sandwich and I opted to get the chicken salad lunch sandwich. It was different than what I'd say traditional chicken salad would be served as, but it was okay, just unexpected. I got a smoothie for my drink. It was fresh and good. My only gripe is that it was very pricey for what you get. Between our two meals and drinks it was over $60 which is wild for brunch in a cafe style coffee shop.
