I live in the area. It is one of the best coffee in the area. Plus they carry Appalachia Cookie Co. Delicious cookies. I enjoy their drinks and the atomsphere is great!

Extremely overpriced coffee... horrible customer service and I probably could have gotten better coffee from a nice gas station.... the place looks closed and they are only doing Cary out. Recommend finding a better place :)

Meh

Maybe we came on a bad day? The place didn’t really look open, especially the inside. The coffee was luke warm at best. We didn’t realize it until we pulled out of the parking lot. At which we didn’t feel like going back.

The best coffee ever. Had a mocha latte. Seriously the best. I wish I would have found this at the beginning of our vacation. Service was great. I had to buy a bag of coffee to take with me.

Their coffee is three times as good as Starbucks for less than the cost of Starbucks. Their asiago bagel will be the reason I drive 6 hours back to NC. Amazing.

Salut! Madeline here. During my time in the Appalachians, I found this little coffee shop to have a quaint atmosphere, stereotypical in the best ways of both coffee shops and the region. But after about an hour by myself with only one pastry and one beverage, I started to get peculiar looks. Most people were in and out in 5 minutes! Ugh ... Americans! The London fog was nice, but their pan au chocolat (chocolate croissant) was so dense and sickening I thought their Baker may be English. It's no Éric Kayser, but quite appropriate for the area. A bientôt!

Great desserts, nice staff, coffee was just ok. The lady tried to make a regular cup of coffee too fancy. Just reg coffee please, no frills, just cream ample parking.
