The Chat & Chew Cafe

Walked down the street from Thomas Tires hoping to find a coffee shop. Boy was I in luck. This coffee shop is tucked away, you barely even know it's here, but boy is it a gem. Filled with the great smells of good coffee, ice cream, and fresh baked goods it's a lovely place to sit down a relax. The owner was very nice, and heartwarming. I am very picky about my coffee, and I absolutely loved the flavor of it, nothing complicated, just simple good strong coffee. With how reasonable the prices are, I am surprised they have stayed open for 3 years. She didn't even force a tip on me like most businesses using square. I hung out here for 2 hours while I waited for my car maintenance to be done, and not once was bother by anyone, what a wonderful Cafe experience. The gift shop is full of random things from local vendors, I highly recommend you check out that area. Some of it is a bit tacky, but there are also some really cool stuff like the bismuth statues. The owner will occasionally sit down and paint also when there is free time. I would like to see this place blossom, and pick up a few employees, this place is wonderful.

Very cute place!! So many drink and food options, lots of flavors and combos, it was so hard to choose! We can't wait to come back! Great service, friendly staff, unique and fun environment and very clean! Would recommend to everyone as anyone can find some great to enjoy!

Definitely 5 stars. Loved this place and the ambiance of the cafe. I can come here everyday and enjoy a cup of coffee while working on my computer.
Multiple dining seats, and there is a gift shop as well. I happened to be there just on time when there was some presentation going on and grabbed couple of free gifts from mary kay collection.
Wonderful experience.
I got latte and a cheese turnover. Wanted to try the cheesecake but they had sold out.

Amazing coffee shop and atmosphere! The place has a very nice feel and the people are friendly. I got the Java Chip Frappe and it was delicious! I highly recommend, and will be back as many time as I can when passing through!

This place is adorable! Not only is the coffee phenomenal, but they have local crafts including a rehabbed plant section. Definitely stop by if you're in the neighborhood. We picked up a bunch of pastries, too, but haven't tried them yet.

Great place to stop for lunch. We got the “Nutty Professor” Chicken Salad on a croissant and I would highly recommend it! Ver friendly service and a nice, peaceful atmosphere.

Such a great place. Owner was extremely sweet and welcoming. The pumpkin cheesecake muffin paired well with the wicked pumpkin latte.

Great little place for breakfast, coffee, lunch, and local crafts. Love the atmosphere. The owner is SUPER nice and helpful, and patient. We were just stopping through but wished we had something like this were we live.

The most adorable coffee shop. The staff are so sweet. I was in the town for a weekend and this shop was my favorite part of my trip. The drinks are delicious. I will definitely be stopping here every time I pass through! The coffee flight was such a fun experience. I recommend trying one and definitely try the samoa iced coffee! This and the raspberry mocha were my favorite.

It is an absolute pleasure to mark five star spots on the map. Our family loves this stop on our way to Charleston and Raleigh for different medical trips throughout the year. It's even worth the gluten! My favorite is a lightly warmed cheese Danish. I've never not loved a cup of coffee, they pay such attention to detail, and the owner is so passionate about sharing lovely things with people. There are always creative odds and ends in the gift shop, and if we lived closer we would sign up for the acrylic painting workshops every month.

Barely 3 minutes from the highway it is not hard to stop and skip over the corporate Starbucks' to make room for something you can enjoy and appreciate and ALSO supports local business owners.
