I'd be one of them for sure if I lived here! It has a kind of hidden huge and gorgeous dining area in the back. We didn't have time to sit for a full meal unfortunately. So we got coffee and matcha - all excellent and balanced - not overly sweet at all. I got a bacon egg & cheese on a tortilla which was sooo good. This place & the hood gave me NYC in the 80s/90s vibes and I love it. Aaktun is owned by the Michelin recommended Little Bull folks, which I have also reviewed & loved.

The açaí bowl was sooo disappointing. It looked amazing and presentation was great but that's where it ended. It was the most watery acai bowl I've ever had. The French toast was decent. The eggs were ordered scrambled but were extremely runny. Overall food was ok but nothing I'd run back to. Again, ambiance and presentation were amazing but taste and consistency fell flat.

I've seen their coffee flights online and they always look delicious- spoiler, they are! I tried the mint chocolate chip, banana pudding, frosted animal cookie, and coconut lattes. The only one I thought was just okay was the coconut, the flavor was fine but something about the shaved coconut toppings and syrup didn't do it for me. The other three, however, were delicious! The frosted animal cookie was my favorite by far. I'd love to come back to try the other two flavors! I also tried the Sonder Smash- it was so tasty!! It's an English muffin with pesto, cream cheese, sausage, and an egg (I took off the tomato). It was super filling and delicious. I highly recommend! Overall- great spot with fun drinks and food. I recommend!

(So be prepared to wait--and maybe know what you want to order so you're ready when you get to the register.) Before heading out of town, a friend and I were recommended to pop into Sonder for the coffee flight. When we were ready to order, we were advised that they only had enough cups for one iced coffee flight, but they could do a hot coffee flight. Both wanting iced, we opted to get a regular sized coffee and smoothie bowl to go. Though disappointed about the inability to try the (iced) coffee flight, the lattes we did order and my friend's smoothie bowl were delicious! We will definitely be going back to try out their new location and the coffee flight!

The drink menu is huge, and it's clearly geared more toward flavored latte lovers than coffee purists. If you like creative, dessert-style drinks, you'll have plenty to choose from. Drinks: I ordered a cortado, but it came out more like a breve. Not a big deal, but not quite what I was expecting. I also tried The Alchemist -- an iced latte with white chocolate, English toffee, and raspberry. It was enjoyable, but definitely flavor-forward, with the syrups taking center stage more than the espresso. Food: This is where the place really shines. I ordered the chicken biscuit with Sriracha hot honey, and it was excellent. Crispy chicken, a great biscuit, and the sweet heat from the sauce tied everything together perfectly. Overall: If you're looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot with lots of fun drink options, No Filter is a solid choice. If you're hunting for a specialty coffee experience focused on the coffee itself, this probably isn't the destination -- but the food alone makes it worth the stop.

Lovely and cute bistro with lots of boba and drink options!…read more I live right across the street, so the location is perfect for me. This bistro is located in the same shopping center as the Food Lion and Hwy 55. There aren't a lot of parking spots right in front of Boba Beans, but there's plenty right on the other side near Food Lion. This is a great place to grab and go or stay for a while. I've come a few times to work while waiting for my car inspection next door or when I just needed to get out of the house since I work from home. There are plenty of tables and chairs throughout and even some couches if you'd like something more comfortable. I don't like tea or coffee much, so I can't give a review on those, but they have a Citrus Refresher with boba that is absolutely delicious! I always get that when I go. They've recently changed their food menu a bit, so I'm not sure what is best, but I've also always enjoyed the food there as well. It's made fresh to order in-house. My favorite thing about Boba Beans is that they have staff of ALL abilities. I absolutely love seeing how the staff provides opportunities for people with a variety of disabilities. That's what made me fall in love with it! Not a lot of establishments will give people a chance, but it's great to see this happening here! Highly recommend it if you're in the area!

I ordered a Cranberry Pomegranate tea with mango syrup and tapioca pearls using the self-serve kiosk, which was quick and easy. While waiting, I looked around and was really impressed by the space. There are plenty of seating options, a play area for kids, and two fun photo-op walls. I'll definitely be back with my family to try more drinks and check out the food menu as well.

I've only ordered coffee and food here, although, they have dirty sodas, teas and smoothies that might be good, I've just never tried. If you're a true coffee drinker, meaning you like the taste of coffee without adding a bunch of milk and sugar, you will not enjoy. I tried their "pre made" coffees and they're very sweet with minimal coffee taste. I've attempted to deviate from the menu and special order, but the staff are not baristas, they had no idea what to do other than what's listed on the menu. The food is very basic, I could definitely make something tastier at home if I had the time. There have been a few times where they're out of food for a few days. Everything tastes like they're choosing the cheapest options that can be microwaved from their supplier. This place is certainly surviving due to its convenient location next to a daycare and apartments. Other than that, there is no need to go out of your way to come here.

I will be back to try more.

The staff was friendly, welcoming, and moved with purpose--no one was just standing around. I ordered the herb-crusted salmon mesa bowl and it did not disappoint.

The green sauce on the side added the right kick and pulled everything together. Portions are generous, the food tastes clean and well-prepared, and the atmosphere feels like a local favorite in the making. I'll definitely be back.

The booths are spotless, comfy, and practically beg you to linger--at least until the crowd rolls in. When it's quiet, it's charming. When it's busy, it's loud. Think espresso machines competing with over enthusiastic kids and a room that amplifies every giggle, shuffle, and snack-time negotiation. Intimate in size, big on personality, and absolutely buzzing when the tiny humans take over--come for the coffee, stay for the chaos (or bring noise-canceling headphones). The staff here are the kind of friendly that feels genuine, not rehearsed--always attentive, always moving, They whip up a solid cortado with confidence, but where they really shine is the cappuccino: velvety, balanced, and clearly made by people who care about the details. The breakfast sandwiches are freshly made, warm, and reliably good--nothing fancy or overthought, just simple, satisfying fuel done right. The prices have a bit of main-character energy--slightly higher than you expect, confidently so, your wallet may raise an eyebrow, but the coffee shrugs and says, worth it. Cheers!
