What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Very beautiful coffee shop with a cozy feel! The barista was the sweetest ever! She prepared our drinks and pastry perfectly!"
"I love this cute and cozy downtown coffee shop! My best friend and I have been here a few times, but last night we decided to do a late night coffee run. We ordered the coffee flight and each one was delicious! I also appreciate how they’re opened late!"
"I thought the hot chocolate was way too sweet. I also got the “ chocolate disk as recommended to make the hot chocolate richer. It is a marshmallow with a thin layer of chocolate- stuck on top of your hot cocoa- not good in my opinion. Staff was very nice and the atmosphere was good- quirky with a gritty feel. I would definitely try a different drink if I come back."
"Two words: Coffee. Flight. It’s divine. Every drink we’ve gotten has been something to write home about. Staff is friendly and helpful. The space is a little awkward due to the narrow building, but everything they serve is worth the squish and they do have a good amount of seating. Just be ready to scootch by! They have desserts, lunch choices, fruit, chocolate bars, and killer gifts/art for sale. Try one of everything. No regrets."

A courageous undertaking considering this area was quite undesirably seedy and crime infested back then. In fact, this shop was at the forefront of a decades long revitalization of what is now a thriving hub of arts, entertainment, and a plethora of foodie options. I always enjoy the outside seating which provides front row view to experience the sights and sounds of Hay St: a prime spot to chill and people watch (after about 8 pm on weekends you are guaranteed to NOT be bored :-) And yes, they're open to 12 midnight on weekends (10 pm during the week) making it the go-to option for late work/study. This is exceptional since there are are very few coffee shops in all of North Carolina serving these hours. A truly iconic establishment that would be very much worth a visit... Most highly recommended 👍🏾"
"I found this sweet little spot on yelp, because I needed somewhere to grab a snack, some caffeine and do a little work before heading to the airport. I had..."
