Fantastic location with great seating and comfortable environment. Staf all engaging and pleased you’re there. Serving Carrboro Coffee Roasters coffee and baristas are talented. Parking is a real back ache but CH small enough to walk from most available parking spots. PS, Chapel Hill help your merchants address the parking challenges in the Town.

The place is great for a quick coffee stop or just to relax and unwind. The blueberry cream cheese danish is a must-try—so delicious! The caramel macchiato is a little strong for my taste, but overall, it’s really good. The whole place definitely gives off a nice vibe! ☕✨

Decent coffee shop in a prime location. Has a well above average variety of food because it is connected to Carolina Coffee Shop – confusingly, the restaurant of the two. That is a huge plus! You can get good burritos, sandwiches, toast, etc. The actual coffee is good too. They have items like tea lattes, seasonal iced tea, matcha & mochas, too. Whipped cream made in house.
It is usually quite packed. Lots of people studying.
I find the service not super friendly, a bit impersonal, and for dine-in experience, slightly lazy. I am a strong believer that dine-in coffee should not be served in disposable cups. And at that, their disposable cups were so thin! It might feel like a small detail, but it is a symptom of a larger mindset. The baristas ask people’s names but then forget them when announcing the order… as another example.
I probably have been here ~12 or so times. A good study spot near campus if you snag a table early enough

Great coffee shop. Coffee is made with freshly ground local coffee. My husband and I tried iced coffee on this hot muggy day and it was delicious and refreshing. We also tried the banana chocolate gluten free cookie – – YUM! For a gluten free cookie the texture and moisture were great. Considering banana was used the balance of flavors was on point. The staff was friendly and helpful. The decor is a mix of old and new. Love the ceiling tiles and the old wood floor. Definitely should visit!

I love the breakfast burrito with bacon added. Plus they have the packets of hotsauce I like to go with it. Delicious! I order it online and go there to pick it up and im always in and out pretty quickly. The staff is always nice and friendly as well.

So happy that they opened this coffeeshop! Franklin street definitely needs more places like this. They have really good looking pastry items (haven’t tried them so not sure about the taste). Coffee is pretty good if you know what good coffee tastes like. They can also serve it in ceramic mugs if you request it. The prices seem decent but if you add a lot of extra stuff to your coffee it can get a little pricey. They do have some unique specialties that might be worth trying. The atmosphere is really nice and the location is great!

I just had to try the Lavender Mocha. So unique! Enjoyable! Friendly service! The ceiling tiles are cool. I recommend getting it to go. There was such an awful sewer smell here when we walked in that I was compelled to ask if they were serving egg salad. I was told they have plumbing issues. That being said, I would grab a coffee here again in a heartbeat.

Loved the brown sugar cardamom latte—one of their homemade flavors—iced, if course, now the weather has turned to spring. Always hopping over here: the proof of goodness.
