There are a few variables that lead up to a two-star review. I want to preface that this is my opinion and my view based on MY taste buds. First, the quality of coffee is lacking. I order a cup of black coffee (no adjuncts, cream, sugar, syrup, etc.) The nose showcases light honeysuckle and pear crisp. The mouth is thin, with little no body or character. It was at the ideal temperature in my mind (roughly 140f). I allowed the coffee to cool down to maybe showcase some more characteristics (assumed 120f); that, unfortunately, did not help. My assumption is the Coffee to water ratio is off. OR based on the nose, the grind of coffee may need to be tweaked (finer grind for more TDS= total dissolved solids) Second, The Wi-Fi is under an unsecured network. Typically I can overlook this by utilizing a VPN and making my connection more secure. But it looks like the IT administrator has blocked VPN usage. Unsecured networks are just as dirty as licking a subway pole in New York. You just don’t touch them. The property is beautiful. Nestled right between a well manicured College. I hope when I come back next the coffeewill be more to my liking. Cheers,
Really great!!
A little piece of sanity and quietude in The madness of the big city.
The sweetest little coffee shop! Located on Guilford College campus and the baristas are always kind, quick, and thoughtful. The coffee is delicious and they also offer pastries. The little patio is perfect to sit and enjoy your coffee.
Great people great service great coffee
Lovely staff and excellent coffee.
cant complain
Great service and employees. Awesome building and location space. Hot chocolate was bussin!
I miss the days when this building was called The Hut, and it was a sacred space. I also miss the days when the students ran a coop coffee shop on campus. That said, the staff were kind to us and thoughtful, keeping the fire going while we took part in Heather Hayton's (and her students, past and present) annual reading of Beowulf.
This unique coffee house has the most wonderful atmosphere. The warm natural fireplace is inviting. Rachel's Rose Cottage is definitely not a corporate run franchise ... the Barista's are experienced/friendly, the pastries are baked locally and the prices are lower than the chains. When you are near the corner of Friendly and Guilford College Rds, Rachel's is a must stop on the beautiful campus of Guilford College.
The atmosphere is a breeze on a sunny day or a cozy night in, typing on my computer & drinking iced coffee and warm pastries. The taste is soft on my lips. The cafe is decorated in such an eloquent way, vintage seating and a wooded rooftop. Rachel’s Rose Cafe is definitely a spot you want to visit if you’re wanting to fall in love with a new study spot. The music is always perfect for any occasion. Sometimes, I sit on the patio, reading and just think I’m in the story itself. The baristas are absolutely charming. They’re all kind and patient but quick and clever.
A lovely little cafe that's perfect for students on campus. Lots of seating area and provides lots of delicious drinks and pastries. The service was amazing and very quick. The location is located in the middle of the campus so difficult to find if not a student, but still in a good place to take a walk around the campus.
