I believe this used to be an old high school that's been turned into a film production/school and a Restaurant. The dining area is in the old cafeteria. It's a buffet-style restaurant, and you get in line cafeteria style, choosing what you would like. Now this is where the comparison stops between the old high school and what's there now. This isn't the high school cafeteria food because the food here is good. The dessert is definitely good. But I do wish there were more options. Now it can get busy during lunch, but there's plenty of room and the parking lot is huge.

My son devoured the crab clusters

I visited the Studio Café on a Saturday evening with my family. Since it was my first time, I wasn't sure what to expect, but my husband had been there before. The atmosphere was lovely, with great décor, comfortable furniture, and a pianist playing, which set the perfect tone. In a place like Fayetteville, where new and different spots are rare, this place really stood out. The service was also top-notch, earning a solid 10 out of 10. Our server was attentive to our table and quickly brought everything we needed. If I'm not mistaken, gratuity is already included, but if the service is outstanding--as it was here--I'll gladly leave an extra tip because they truly deserve it. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, all of which were hot and fresh. My favorite was definitely the Mac & Cheese--it was creamy, cheesy, and delicious. We also tried the crab leg special, and my son absolutely loved it, devouring everyone's clusters! This will definitely be my go-to spot whenever I have family or friends visiting.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and my experience was not what I imagined. When we got there the server didn't tell us the history or anything about the cafe. I get it, she's busy she don't have time but I thought that would have been nice. But she didn't tell us where to sit how the buffet worked or anything. So we found a seat and then found the sign that said buffet here and got our food. The food was good. The chicken was good and the flounder had good flavor. A little cold, but the second batch was better. Breading could've been crispier. The sides were decent. The star was the mash potatoes and chicken gravy. The Mac and cheese was decent. Better than most places but still had that processed cheese taste. The waitresses were floaters, different waitresses came over to ask how you were and to refill drinks. The desert was good. Really good homemade whipped cream and the Reese's cupcake was moist and flavorful. Definitely would return and I would like to go for dinner for the entertainment.

Delicious food & smooth LIVE music was had today!!! Everything I had from the buffet was great (even the fruit & salad). Our server, CARMA, was terrific!!! This was my 1st time going, but it won't be my last!!!

Crab legs

Great dining experience in Trilith. At first I was a little taken back by the building as it looks just like a school. Found out it was originally designed for a school but the restaurant owners made it into a restaurant. The buffet style is very neat and the atmosphere is classy with live music. The musician is fantastic, he's very talented. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Our server was Christian. He was super polite, attentive, and entertaining with great stories, thanks Christian. The food is good and I like that they also serve crab legs. Although the crab isn't all you can eat, the portion they include is significant especially once you load up on a plate of food from their buffet. From what I heard they change up their offerings on the buffet frequently. Today's assortment was nice, including salads, seafood, poultry, and read meat. Highly recommend giving them a try but come hungry. The buffet dinner is around $40-$45 per person and I definitely think it's worth it.

Rather upscale buffet restaurant so it's on the pricey side and requires a reservation I believe. I'd definitely come again. The food was good but some options need improvement. Good service!

I have been here several times before and always had a good experience. Usually I just get some…read morecoffee, and the coffee is good, but this time I decided to try some of their pastries because they look so pretty and it is a bakery, after all! We tried three different pastries, and none were great. The cheese danish was the worst. It wasn't made on flaky pastry. It was like a thick, chewy slab of pizza crust with some cheese and jam on top. Literally, the texture and taste was exactly like a thick, stale pizza crust. So confusing. The chocolate macaron was hard as a rock. We went across the street to the bookstore after and got macarons that were delicate, soft, and melted in our mouths, and the difference was striking. The gf pop tart was the best of the three, but even that was doughy and falling apart so that's not saying a lot! Overall, for a bakery, I was really disappointed. Coffee is consistently good, but man. The pastries really fell short.

It was my first time ever visiting Trilith and I'm always on the hunt for coffee shops (especially…read moreones that have matcha) and this hit all the marks! The space inside is modern chic and so inviting. They had TONS of pastry and sandwich options and I couldn't resist ordering a gluten free blondie. I ordered an iced matcha with almond milk and half pump of simple syrup. My husband just ordered an americano. It did take awhile to get our order-there were two other people ahead of us, but you could tell that everything was handcrafted. Everything we ordered was delicious! I found the Matcha a little too sweet for my liking even with half pump simple syrup. The blondie was divine. Service here was wonderful too.

DRINKS (4/5): $3.25 (16 oz) LARGE BREWED COFFEE: LOVE IT! Tastes fresh, strong & delicious. $5.25 (16 oz) (+$1 soy milk) LAVENDER LATTE: I hate the extra charge for a milk substitute. Starbucks got rid of the additional charge for switching milks, I wish everywhere else did also. As far as the drink, it was a subtle taste of lavender, but delicious! I love their coffee. FOOD (4/5): $4.50 HONEY CHEESE MOCHI PANCAKE: this is a BEST SELLER for a reason! If you love the chewy taste of mochi, you will LOVE this! It's warm, chewy, slightly sweet from the honey, and has a ton of cream cheese in the center. 10/10!!! $4.25 SAUSAGE ONION PASTRY: in the hot case. Savory hot dog wrapped in cheese and onions on top a flaky pastry with slightly sweet ketchup or bbq sauce on top. Perfect light breakfast bite. $3.50 CURRY CROQUETTE: Crispy on the outside & soft on the inside (I recommend reheating in the oven @ 425 for 10 min). I wish there was more curry inside, but still tasty! Light & savory. $3.75 STRAWBERRY SOFT BREAD: SUPER SOFT & FLUFFY! Filled with a light strawberry cream, not too overpowering. It's simple, but addicting! I keep coming back for it. SERVICE (3/5): It's odd they charge for tip at the register when it's a self-serve business, although I did see them refilling the pastry cases & they do make the coffee. On the weekends it gets busy, tons of turnover, but the tables were DIRTY! They need to be better about wiping them down more often. OVERALL (4/5): Love this place! You can get a coffee and pastry for $10! What a steal. Lots of pastry options for everyone, both sweet and savory. Perfect for a special occasion if you want a single slice of cake or a whole one or small treat! Fancy feel, but very affordable.

Friends were meeting here and I was intrigued. Interesting reviews and pictures…read more So decided to get there early and was not disappointed, except for one thing and it was kind of understandable. What I loved... The cute and engaging decor, very bright and colorful. I found a new favorite donut with their gluten-free red velvet. Moist and delicious Their signature dish of the egg on top of the hash browns was yum. Yum. The chunks of potatoes are crispy and the eggs were cooked just right. There was enough hash browns there that I saved some and cooked more eggs the next day at home Although my husband didn't like his scrambled eggs because he says they were as flat and not fluffy. And they were not very busy when we arrived and had additional staff come in as their peak hour approached around 9:00. The gal that was doing it all had to stop and make coffee and I think she rushed it a little bit because it wasn't hot and it was bitter... She gladly warmed it up for me and when she topped it off it wasn't as bitter

Parking: Free Located @ Trillith in Fayettville…read more This meal was really delicious, seasoned well, I was expecting whole a Hashbrowns but I got some cube potatoes that were slightly crispy on the outside & warm & tender on the inside, a half of a friend egg was on top, ai was definitely shocked to see half of an fried egg. It had peppers, onions, jalapeños & some crack sauce. All the flavors, spices & crack sauce just mixed all well together. The crack sauce is mato based. Customer service was good as the cashier answered most of my questions. I would definitely visit HERO again 4
