My favorite coffee trailer!!! I love that they have their everyday menu, the black sugar shaken espresso is just the best classic latte ever + they do fun seasonal drinks! I recently had the banana bread chai latte and it's so unique I loved it so much!!! I always ask for my drinks slightly less sweet and they come out perfectly. Follow them on IG to see where they're located each week or visit their permanent spot off Robinhood rd in the Ace Hardware parking lot

Cracked Cadbury Egg iced latte
Susie G.

The Struggle Bus has knocked it out of the park with the Cracked Cadbury Egg Latte. Run get you one while you can. Hazelnut Mocha latte with caramel, topped with a mini Cadbury egg. A bit 'o heaven in a cup. Available hot, iced or frozen. I also purchased a lemon lavender cookie sandwich that was delicious. Super fresh, cookie perfect combo of crunchewy, and just the right amount of yummy filling with real blueberries. A winner!

Coffee Truck
William H.

This coffee truck has a great selection of drinks, not just coffee. I get something different every time and have never been disappointed. The workers are always friendly and quick to make your drink. It's set up in the parking lot of a strip mall and has a nice cozy area with bench tables to sit and enjoy your drink in the fresh air. Stop by, they even have a drive up window on the other side of the truck!

Iced latte
Sharon R.

Very tasty & a great variety of drink options. Prices were reasonable as well. I got a iced latte with sugar-free hazelnut. Husband got a Mexican hot chocolate & really liked it.

I can't explain my excitement when I saw the struggle bus serving up drinks outside of the Y last week. I'm gonna have to make it a new tradition on Tuesdays so I can get some deliciousness in a cup to start my day off on the right foot. Next up is trying their extensive list of hot chocolates

This is the second time I have been to the struggle bus. This time I got an iced mocha struggleccino. It was great! Employees are always friendly and helpful. They also have baked goodies which I will try next time. They are there every Thursday. I will definitely be back.

I'm not much of a coffee person but decided today to get some, I am glad I did! The guy working named Jacob was swamped with drive through and walk ups, but he handled everything perfectly! It wasn't a wait at all, the drive through was going at the same pace, definitely a solid place to stop before a work day. 10/10! Now I think I'll be getting coffee way more often, especially on cold mornings

I have tried so many coffee spots around the Triad, and the Struggle Bus is always tried and true! They travel around and have a different schedule each week, but I make it a point to swing by whenever it aligns with my schedule! They have unique and exciting seasonal drinks, along with the classic coffee beverages and yummy pastries. The service is always super friendly, and I've never had a bad drink here!

Pumpkin cream cold brew

My pumpkin cream cold brew was beautiful as delightful as the name of this coffee truck and the people who run it!

The high wooden bookshelves and designated reading tables give it literary cachet, but The Remedy leans more cozy than stuffy. There's plenty of seating inside and out, and this would be as good a place for a group as it would be for partaking solo. Part coffeeshop and part bar, The Remedy also offers baked goods, flatbreads and charcuterie alongside its coffees, teas, and cocktails. I passed on the food (it seemed overpriced), but the coffee left no room for complaint. I went with a marshmallow iced latte. It was prepared quickly, and it made for a smooth sip: not too sweet and no acidity. Winston-Salem has no shortage of places to grab a drink of the caffeinated or alcoholic varieties, but it's hard to beat the atmosphere that The Remedy has to offer.

Ummm..no. I think the main selling point for this place is the historical building that it's in and…read morethe cool ambience inside. It was packed for a Friday at noon. Service = not great. I felt like I interrupted the gentlemen's conversation by trying to order and they were not very friendly. The veggie quiche was over $7 and kind of small. I was still hungry. It was good though. I'll add that I did not try the coffee (which apparently is a staple) There are so many OTHER breakfast and coffee spots in the city... I'll just say that.

There was plenty of seating and the space felt roomy and bright, plus a cute little Art-o-Mat in the corner! We had to heat up our own quiche, which seemed a little weird, but atleast they did have a microwave and heating suggestions. The barista was friendly enough and we found the location very convenient to our wanderings downtown.

Did a quick yelp search, and found Camino wasn't too far from where we were. We walked over and found it clustered in a nice area with several restaurants we've visited in the past. There was a short line, and only one person taking/making orders behind the counter. I couldn't figure out what the other two were doing, but he was able to keep the line moving fairly fast. We ordered a slice of quiche and a Danish to share. We asked for the quiche to have to have there, and the Danish to go, so asked to have it heated. They said they couldn't heat any food, but pointed us in to the microwave in the dining area which was a bit odd to me. Otherwise, the food was tasty. They've got a good bit of a seating inside with a laid back, relaxed feel. They've got some art on the walls, assuming from local artists for sale. They also have a small patio out front on the sidewalk. We did need to use the bathroom before leaving, which are locked, and you need to ask the staff for code to use them, which isn't something we're used to.

In the fast pace and churning energies we are experiencing on personal and collective levels,…read morefinding ways to support the body, mind, and auric energy fields feels less a luxury and more of a necessity. Today, I went to Oasis at the Mill for a delicious Velvet Fog chaga- & kava-infused drink. I also booked a Vibro-Acoustic Therapy session for the first time! I was asked what I was feeling to experience energetically out of the various programs available and I chose "Release". I didn't know what to expect and it turned out to be quite profound and healing on many levels so I want to share my experience. I was taken to a beautiful dark teal room with Tibetan prayer flags overhead...tranquil and inviting. I put on some padded headphones while the program was being initiated, and made myself comfortable on my back on an ergonomically sculpted bed. Resonant music came through the headphones as the bed began to vibrate and undulate, my back and legs receiving a massage-like experience as my entire body felt the resonance of sound healing. My first impression was feeling I was a garden being tilled...old stagnant energy was being lifted and shaken and I felt a renewed energy pouring through me. In time, I connected my experience with the elements, grounding energy of Earth, sinking and flowing as Water, lifting and moving in spirals as Air, and the warmth and blaze of Fire...as these blended into Spirit I began to journey and fell into what felt like a sleep state. I came out of the sleep state as the resonance shifted, and it gently brought me to stillness over several minutes, softening and slowing until the program ended. I felt refreshed and renewed and was already deciding that "Oh, I have to do this on a regular basis!" And, the fact that there are programs to access many energetic states is so exciting! I can say from the bottom of my freshly renewed heart, DO try this new healing opportunity at Oasis at the Mill! It is truly extraordinary!

I have heard about Oasis for a while, and I'm so glad I finally checked them out! Once you walk in…read moreyou're invited into something magical: a huge array of artisanal loose leaf teas, house-made cooking spices, tea accessories, and more. You're immediately greeted once walk in and the ambiance is just stunning. I wanted to try their teas and got the Mystic Dragon iced w/ a touch on honey, and oh man it was so good and refreshing! If you like green tea that's smooth, slightly vegetal yet aromatic, then this is for you! Bonus is that they also sell ceremonial matcha powder, which is perfect for me since I make my own matcha lattes at home! :) Not only Oasis is just a tea shop, they also offer community classes and events like yoga, sound healing and meditation, and more!

We came in on an unseasonably chilly May morning nursing a bit of a hangover. Krankies was delightfully warm with plenty of seating. I got the Hangover Cure biscuit, which had eggs, fried chicken, bacon, cheese, and gravy on the side. I also got a hot latte and then topped it off with a cinnamon roll. My partner got the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit with an iced latte. The lattes: go with a flavored one if you grab a coffee here. Their plain latte was not that good but their vanilla latte was very good. Biscuits: WOW! The Hangover Cure is hefty with plenty of biscuit to go around - I had some to take home with me. It was absolutely everything I needed after a night of imbibing with friends. My partner also enjoyed his biscuit. Cinnamon roll: very good! They had a variety of baked goods to choose from. Definitely worth the add. All in all, I think we spent $40, which feels reasonable for the amount and quality of food we received. Definitely worth a stop in if you happen to be in the area.
