Super interesting place to visit off the beaten path. This outdoor food hall and music venue was…read morerecommended to us by Guess Where Trips. We stopped in on a Friday afternoon, thinking places would be open for lunch; many of the bars and restaurants don't open during the weekday until later for dinner time. So definitely make sure to check hours of operation of the individual food/drink places. We were able to grab a drink at one of the bars at lunch and the Jamaican spot on the property. And also visited the Meadery. This is such a great idea and I hope more outdoor food hall type venues start popping up around the country. We need more cool off the beaten path places like The Plant. 9/10 recommend.

Every Friday, Counter Culture does a free 10 AM coffee tasting, which is a cool experience…read more Admittedly, I am more of a tea drinker, but I still learned a lot and think this is a special outing for anyone interested in learning more about single origin coffee. The baristas were very welcoming and knowledgeable, providing a sample of the coffee (we were given a coffee from Burundi) , providing some information on their harvesting and roasting practices, and opening up the floor to an audience Q&A. Ambiance is very modern and chic and there are two bathrooms open to visitors in the facility. I would recommend going on time to the tasting if possible for the best seating/experience. I came 15 min late and the seats were all taken and it was a full house. There were no issues with finding parking; there is a gravel lot adjacent to the roastery. Overall, a very unique experience!

Walking up to the coffee shop you'll see a painted crosswalk with flowers, and beautiful mural of birds on the side of the building, and a purple color front. When you walk in you'll be transported to a cozy, charming, and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are also extremely nice and welcoming. I ordered the seasonal latte which I can't remember what it was called. It had turmeric and some other spaces, I believe it was called the bee latte and it was excellent. I hear the Orange Blossom latte is also really good. Also, check out the upstairs seating area. This is a great coffee shop to spend some time in and also for remote work.

I've learned during my time in the Carolinas that you must request for your coffee to be extra hot which is what I did so it was the perfect temperature. The veggie bagel scramble was decent, no Wao factor but it was a nice quick bite while on the run. Staff seemed nice too, no real complaints here. I consider coming back, but only if I happen to be close by not a place I'd go out of my way for. The location is pretty nice too. I like the curve appeal and the fact that there's plenty of parking. Prices were more than reasonable for today's market, which is nice to see. Solid four stars.

When you arrive parking can be found either on the street or in a nearby parking lot. There was a pretty long line wrapping around the coffee shop so we hopped in line. When we were at the coffee shop there doesn't seem to be enough seating for how much traffic is going through the shop as the inside and outside seating were pretty full. Unfortunately the atmosphere was a bit overshadowed by being overcrowded and several kids running around. The atmosphere inside the coffee shop feels like a modern vibe but nestled within a small town. I ordered a strawberry glazed donut and a vanilla latte. I wasn't the biggest fan of the donut as it didn't taste the freshest and the espresso shots weren't pulled correctly as the latte tasted a bit watery/thin. This coffee shop is crowded as it's really the only option in Fuqua-Varina but may try it again if I'm in the area again.
