Red Kite Coffee Company

You can chill here, or read/write, or chatter, or appraise the art on the wall, or admire the good looking mamas that troop in. Bring your own headphones if you want sonic privacy. Good coffee and grub. Generous space for sitting and lounging ... and for plugging in your laptop.

I was really excited to find this coffee shop since most of the Fayetteville coffee shops are a good drive away from our house. I’ve been multiple times and have enjoyed it. I am really allergic to dairy and always order alternative milks. Yesterday was no different. I ordered my usual and I know the baristas recognized me. I sat down and heard them talking. One said, “does she get this for a reason?” I don’t know if they were talking about me since others were in the store too, but it seemed like it. I got my drink and it was delicious. Like, more delicious than usual. I order my drinks with oat milk because it’s actually creamy and dairy-like unlike soy and almond. I haven’t had cow milk since February, so I honestly don’t remember the exact taste and didn’t realize this wasn’t oat milk. Not even 10 minutes into my drink, I got really, really sick. I’ve now been sick for over 24 hours and I know it couldn’t have been anything else because I haven’t had any kind of dairy in the past few days. I had two networking meetings yesterday that I could not cancel, so I had to deal with my allergic reactions through all of that.
The whole time I was there, the baristas were distracted and having fun with a friend who had visited them. My husband was a barista in the past and is furious that they weren’t more careful. Not everyone who orders alternative milk does it because they want to lose weight or something. Some people truly cannot have it and it is so important not to mess up their order.

I am forgiving, but I cannot risk getting sick like that so I will not be back again.

The staff make this place. Even with a complete staff turnover, it's still incredible place on the East side of town to grab properly made coffee. They source all thier coffee beans and food (very simple kitchen consisting of panini grill) from local places.

The best part is going in and chatting with the staff. Has a cool vibe, Pokemon GO poke stop, local art, and free wifi.

I only go here because of convenience. The baristas seem hardly trained. I can find much better lattes elsewhere. Also it's more expensive than Onyx, which is the best around, so that's silly.

Good coffee, decent WiFi most of the time, and the service here is great. Very chill place with local art for sale, a bulletin board, couches, and all of the indie-hipster music you can handle.

Great atmosphere; always has solid service. It seems to be a bit less trafficked than the other coffee shops in Fayetteville, so it's definitely a good option for a random afternoon.

Fantastic coffee. Great prices, relaxed atmosphere that's not to loud and also spacious enough to have a conversation and not distracting others.

The cafe au lait I had was spot on. I'll be back if I need a coffee shop in the area.

Over priced and twice I got back the wrong change..a dollar short each time. Doesn't seem like a coincidence, sad.And the food ...I don't know where to start. I wish they'd step it up, and a smile wouldn't kill them on their customer service would it? I LOOVVEE coffee so I might give them another chance. We'll see. I just thought some constructive criticism could help.

Quick with my order and easy to conversate w. Unlike your chain coffee stores they don't hire dumbasses who get upset when you don't know what a grande is or call a large large. It was simple, and the employee knew what I was talking about. I'll be back. Also, it's a Pokemon gym.

I used to think that I made the BEST esspros until I discovered Red Kite. From the moment my wife and I walked in we were amazed. I actually feel like I am in a friends living room. All of the Barista are fun and friendly.
