    I always order the chicken salad sandwich. Very fulfilling. Eclectic coffee shop with interesting inventory.

One step inside and I took in the laid-back atmosphere and ample seating, and then locked in on the menu. Vietnamese Coffee, from the Summer Menu, called my name, and I enjoyed the shaken espresso that included sweetened condensed milk. Other espresso drinks, matcha, and chai and bottled drinks are also available. I believe the co-owner was running the shop this day. He took care of our and other customers' orders and answered questions in a knowledgeable yet laid-back way, appropriate for the Winston-Salem area. And he also cleaned up the place! My family and I spent time in the relaxing atmosphere, hanging out, playing a table game, and reading. Even the playlist was laid-back. Note: Most coffee drinks are made with Black and White roasted beans out of Raleigh-Durham.

They're located between downtown and Old Salem and fun fact: Sayso serves Black and White Coffee, which is based in Raleigh, NC! I occasionally visit this spot and the times that I've been here never disappoints. The barista has always been welcoming and helpful. What I like about Sayso is that they make their own syrups, which is a bonus for me! They even create special drinks for every season as well. I tried the Jasmine Flash Brew for their Spring '26 menu and it was great! They also carry some local baked goods from Bobby Boy Bakeshop, too.

The mimosa was light and flavorful without being overpowering. It was a subtle flavor but pleasant. The chocolate was exactly what you'd expect from a chocolate macaron, which was good. It had a rich chocolate flavor but wasn't too heavy. I did walk with it on a warm day, so it began to melt a bit. But overall, it was still enjoyable. My fiancé ordered the ginger cookie. He liked it. It has a crust of sugar on top and had a nice ginger taste. The texture was soft but didn't fall apart easily. The server at the cash register was helpful. We asked what the Santiago dessert was, and he explained thoroughly. He also asked if the macarons could be in the same box instead of assuming. We didn't stay in long enough to get a vibe necessarily, but everyone sitting inside seemed to be at ease and enjoying their time. We will return to try more.

I got an ube iced latte and then a raspberry and cream cheese danish. Both were absolutely delightful and came out relatively quickly. This is a great place to stop in if you're in the area. If I had the time, it also looked like a good spot to do some teleworking. They have large windows that look out onto downtown, and it lets in a lot of natural light.

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.

    I have read nothing but rave reviews about the food here but I just always skipped over trying it…read moresince it's a little out of the way for me. Acadia Foods is a small market/ restaurant. They have a small selection of produce, local meat, dairy and a nice craft beer selection. They also have a booming CSA box business because there was a whole counter and fridge/freezer devoted to it. I'd like to look into that in the future. We ordered at the counter after looking at the menu for quite a while. Everything sounded so good and I had a hard time deciding from the innovative menu. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but there were tons of options for those that are so this is a perfect place for you. We got the breakfast burrito with house made tofu chorizo and the BAT sandwich. My husband got a black coffee but lots of people were getting drinks from their extensive coffee menu so don't hesitate to order what you like. I prefer water so that's what I had. The dining area was full when we got there but there were open seats at the counter and outside. We grabbed a couple stools at the counter where we could watch the coffee drinks being made. As a non-coffee drinker l, I'm still fascinated with coffee culture so it was fun seeing the different components going into each drink. While we waited for our main dishes we ate a piece of their Salted Honey Pie Bar. Oh my goodness it was love at first bite and I will be returning for that item alone! My husband said it reminded him of the filling in pecan pie without the pecans but it was not nearly as overly sweet. Instead this had a perfect balance of sweet and salty with a firm texture that held its shape in a delicious flaky crust. I think the Salted Honey Pie Bar here is one of my top 5 desserts. When the food arrived everything was hot and fresh. We shared everything so we started with the BAT sandwich. The bacon was delicious and crispy and the roasted tomato and arugula were so good too! I do wish it had a little more ingredients to it. For the price, it didn't seem as much of a value as some of the other items around the same price. The burrito was large and was topped with salsa, a little cheese and jalapeño. This is a dish meant to be eaten with a fork and knife. It's full of potato's, the house made tofu chorizo, egg and cheese. It packed a punch though so just be aware of that in case you need to cool off your mouth with a cold drink. The friendly service here was on par with the best restaurants in town. It was clean and open with a family friendly atmosphere. Thanks for the wonderful food and service Acadia Foods!

The service is a little bit transactional, but it was also busy during our visit. It took about 25 minutes to receive our order, so my coffee was gone before the food arrived. The BAT was a bit underwhelming, a bit dry and lacked much substance for the $10 price tag. It really needed more arugula and tomatoes to make it refreshing. It tasted like two slices of toast with crispy bacon. Good toast, good bacon, but some more veggies would have been nice. The Breakfast Burrito we ordered with house made tofu was loaded with potatoes, cheese, eggs and topped with salsa. It was spicy and filling, well worth the trip here. We ordered a cup of coffee, but weren't sure of their refill policy on drip coffee, but none were offered even though we sat at the counter. We also had a Salted Butter Pie which was delicious. It reminded me of pecan pie, without the pecans. Overall a solid first visit. We will be back to try that Collard Melt and Fancy Bologna Sandwich.

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.

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.

If you've never been or heard about their subs, they're definitely worth checking out. Made fresh, in front of you using premium ingredients, and made just how you want it, they give sub shops a lot to stand up to. After a quick review of the menu we ordered the Sweet Bo's Chicken Philly. The guy helping us in the deli didn't hold back, didn't skimp on the ingredients and made it perfectly cheesy even toasting it twice until it was exactly as we wanted. After checking out we decided to stop in to their small cafe area to eat quickly as we could see it was juicy and didn't want to make a mess eating it in the car. The sandwich was absolutely delicious with lots of chopped chicken, bell peppers, mushrooms and we switched from American cheese to provolone...it absolutely hit the spot and curbed our hanger. I'd never stoped at this public before, but would again, it was very well kept and clean, and I'd definitely get this sandwich again given the opportunity!

Their other olive selections - greek style, mixed with feta, and lemon based, plus their seasoned mushrooms are also delicious.

And as a perks member, I do get treats for my birthday, half birthday, and anniversary, as well as decent $2 ff $10 coupons occasionally. Service is always polite and speedy, which I appreciate. Bonus points to this location for having EV charging available. Can be nice to juice up while shopping.
