"Today I went to GSC for the first time with my wife and daughter and had a pleasant surprise. A welcoming and spacious environment, pleasant music at a good volume, quiet, and most importantly, good service. The red-bearded guy was very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I will return and I recommend it."

"I've never been to this place before, but it was super busy when I went. They have a no-tip policy, so you pay the price they set for their products. There is an outdoor seating area, but I saw most customers are there to work or study."

"We stumbled Gray Squirrel after having lunch on the area and I’m glad we did. We knew it was our type of place when we saw the mural on the wall. When we walked in we loved the vibe. We ordered the Coconut Salted Caramel Latter with Expresso Foam and OMG! Love at first taste. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable that we will definitely come back for a visit when we are in the area. Oh and we bought doggie biscuits (house made) like all of their pastries. Up next on our visit…their handcrafted sodas. We would definitely recommend."

"Went there with my 8 y old son to celebrate some recent achievements. Waiter was super helpful, friendly and kind—encouraging my kiddo too. At first I was a bit intimidated by the prices but then realized tip is included. I think it’s fantastic to normalize fair wages, customer knows what they are expected to pay AND the place is explicit about welcoming diversity. Well done. Thank you, team!"

"I would give this place 6 stars if I could! Their iced latte with oat milk got me through college. Creamy, nutty, smooth, and strong. The best iced latte I’ve ever had. Lost of gluten free + normal pastry options, all baked in-house. The scones and cookies have fun flavors and are always changing. Only downside is that not all of the seats have outlets nearby and the stools can get uncomfortable after an hour or so. Free parking, but sometimes the lot is very crowded. The coffee is quite expensive (+ recently raised prices bc of tariffs) but it’s so good that I stopped wanting to go anywhere else in carrboro/chapel hill, plus they’re a living wage employer so no tips."
