“Delicious dinner from Merkato Cafe this evening! Lovely people and awesome food - highly recommend! The lentils had so much flavor and a little heat (but it dissipates quickly) and the beets and cabbage were also very tasty. Check them out if you get a chance!“

“Always love visiting Cha House! Great atmosphere and delicious tea.“

“Very friendly and helpful staff. Large selection of drinks, fast service. I haven’t tried the food, but the coffee is very invigorating, in the good sense of the word. For example, locally grown coffee beans are used for espresso. It doesn't taste bad at all. They try to create a cozy atmosphere in the establishment, it seems that it works. Convenient location. You definitely shouldn’t neglect this option for your morning coffee.“

“Had brunch there, the food was amazing and the employees were all so nice. Can't wait to go back and try lunch“

“Meeple’s Brew is a cozy and welcoming spot for board game lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike! I love the unique latte flavors like Nutella and honey lavender, and the relaxed ambiance makes it a great place to unwind with friends. Whether you’re diving into a strategy game or just grabbing a cup of coffee, it’s a fun and inviting space to spend time.“

“Great Coffee, delicious mochi donuts and amazing service!!!“

“Our first visit, The atmosphere is very pleasant and laid-back, our waitress Lacey was excellent, as was the food, The biscuits and grits were wonderful, I would highly recommend the hangover hash, a wonderful place. We will definitely come back whenever we’re in the area.“

“I had the ham and cheese on a salt and pepper bagel. It was toasted with a little sauce on it. It is the best sandwich I have ever had. The crunch of the bagel combined with the super stack of ham and cheese, it was delicious. Stellar service. The young lady that runs the front is gracious and amazingly efficient. I will be back!!!“

“Annelore’s Bakery was at the farmers market in Raleigh today. Unfortunately, they were running low on their items since it was later in the day. However, we bought the doggy treats. My dog loves them! Usually, she sniffs around to inspect what the treat is, but she ate these immediately.“

“Oct 29, 2024
I have been going to this location at 109 SW Maynard Rd, Cary for over 10 years. I have always enjoyed Friendly staff, good coffee and nice environment. I am sit-in customer and spend 2 hours in average on each visit to either read or meet friends so bathroom access is important (considering plenty coffee intake and my age specially in cold weather).
Recently they have installed "Combination lock!" on bathroom doors. They stopped giving the combination upon order which they were doing, now every time anyone need to use the facility have to ask one of staffs to unlock the door for them (remind me of school days asking teacher).
Beside being uncomfortable to ask staff to let you in bathroom, sometimes in front of other customers, you may have to wait while they are busy helping other customers....which not always have happy ending, (you know what I mean if you ever had to walk back to your car with wet pants!)
This review is based on my last visit in about 2 weeks ago, so if any changes being made since then I am not aware of it and apologize.

Parking: Parking is limited and hard to find spot in their busy times. There are plenty of parkings always available in cross street behind mexican restaurat. However ou need to be very carefull crossing busy Maynard street, it's best using intersection trafic light“

“Extremely Clean cool and Collectively Vibrant in here. This place is equipped with a great business meeting room and beautiful art on the walls. The bathroom was clean and the atmosphere was comfortable. While here I was pleased to be offered a free pumpkin latte which was my favorite drink. I was happy and highly satisfied to have passed through.“

“I stopped in after playing a round of golf at the local golf course for a cup of tea and pastry . The selection of pasties and breads was very good. The service and atmosphere was very nice as well. I’ll definitely stop in again when we are back in town.“

“I love my vanilla latte.Latte Happy!😀“

“Everything was absolutely amazing!!First off lets talk about the impressive 100% sanitation rating, The prices were so reasonable and for the most high quality, heavenly donuts. Shoutout to Krystin who rang us up who had awesome customer service! The staff was so quick and efficient with making a dozen donuts it was done within 1 minute maybe less kid you not, Me and my husband truly had a great experience!! “the way the donut danced on my taste buds left me craving for more”- my husband. There is absolutely nothing you could ever find to complain about. We left with a big smile on our faces!😇“

“Ordered a drink that came out wrong, explained it so I could order something different as it wasn't tasting right at all. Still get charged for the old drink, infact my drink points I redeemed didn't even get accounted for. Terrible service. They won't remake your drink either, even if it's clearly wrong. don't recommend cary location its only gotten worse.“

“Sebastian made my coffee and it was PERFECT! He deserves this shout out! Thank you so much. Keep up the great work. I will be back and I will also refer my friends, family and coworkers. Honestly, the entire staff is great and I also receive good service, food and drinks each time I visit this location.“

“Located inside a Harris teeter. They don't have a drive-thru but there is plenty of parking. Very short to no wait every time I've ever been, plus they have a dedicated entrance on the side so you don't even have to go through the grocery store unless you want to.“

“Went to Sweet Fare on a daddy daughter date. She loved the decor. Whimsical, she called it. It's geared toward little ones. I felt it was a bit pricey, but some of the combinations were interesting, like the key lime pie cookie. Overall, I could crunch sugar in the butterscotch cookie we tried. It was pretty good. However, as an adult, I'm beyond filling in flavor with pure sugar. Though one look at Sweet Fare, and I know I'm not the target audience. It was a cute little stop. It's too pricey for me to bring all four children to at one time. But it was a nice stop on our date. Overall 3 stars for food, 4 for interior and decor. So the kids will be all about it. As an adult, it was ok.“

“Jayla just brightened my day! I came in the store, killing time waiting for my car to get serviced at Discount Tire. I was feeling flustered about my car taking so long and as a result I changed my drink order about 30 times. She and the other young man working were so kind and patient with me! Someone please give these sweet kids a raise!!“

“Awesome setting, The staff were great, Nice selection.

I was a little overwhelmed when I came in (unrelated to the restaurant, had a brief sensory overload from other things) and the atmosphere was calming.

Asked the server what drinks they recommend/personally like, picked an iced option that they brought up, and it was really good.
(I greatly appreciate them & they gave me way more help than they will know just by doing that for me)

10/10, highly recommend.“

“I used to go to Crossroads because of how close it was, but I will be making the extra drive to this one from now on. My drink has been made consistently and the barista’s here are so much nicer. I would like to recognize Kyle, Halleema (so sorry if spelt wrong), and Avery for their outstanding service when coming in the drive thru. They were super nice and made conversation with me when there was a misunderstanding with my drink. They politely remade it for me and even gave me a bigger size free of charge for the inconvenience! Super happy with the choice of partners here and the taste/quality of coffee… I will definitely be back.“

“Olena, Tiffany, and Maya give the best service I could have ever received from Starbucks. They took my order and remembered it without making me feel like I was asking for too much. And they always make it with Love. I hardly get what I actually want from Starbucks corporation, but this branch really showed me something! 10/10 highly recommend ?“

“Really, really delicious. Best macarons I’ve ever had!“

“Wry polite people. Thanks“

“This Starbucks is okay - the drinks are usually good but with only 2 staff members (and usually only one there at a time) it seems that they are grossly understaffed and doing customized items isn't their specialty.Otherwise - staff are extremely nice. Excellent customer service and amazing dedication to their jobs“

“I’m leaving this review before I even get my food, but the shop was out of pumpernickel bread, and they called me immediately to let me know and gave me alternative breads to choose from. REALLY appreciate the customer service and going the extra mile to reach out, especially when it was a DoorDash delivery service! Definitely will be coming back to NYC bagels! ?“

“Have to review this Starbucks because they are so consistent and make my life easy!

I have moved around the triangle a lot and this has by far been the best local starbucks I’ve gotten. I usually mobile order. Drinks are always ready fast, I have never had a wrong drink, and when they have time they are nice and chat with me while I wait. We also love the man who is usually in the drive through when we come through that way. Grateful to be close to such a good store!“

“Service is always fast at this location. My drink was made perfect as well. I did notice that my coffee was a little more expensive at this location, versus the Target in Morrisville, but not by much.

Parking: Parking lot is small because it is in a small area with a few other stores, but I have always been able to find a parking spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“This was my first time at this location and Alec made our drive thru experience amazing!! He was polite, courteous, and was joking around with us. Alec should definitely receive some type of recognition because he is definitely your star employee!! We need more people like him in this world. Thank you, Alec, for making our night!!“

“This is the best Starbucks! I usually try to go to a drive thru but after having my order incorrect multiple times I decided it is definitely worth walking in to this location! The girls are so kind and ALWAYS make my order right! Thank you guys for consistency 💗“

“This place has good boba but the chicken is alright, the chicken cutlet well cooked, juicy and crispy, my only problem was the taste, it had a sweet lavender taste, for me it was a little weird but other then that everything was well... I also forgot to mention the price, it was a bit expensive for what ever I got( i got the crispy chicken cutlet with fries and drink/ 16.99$ not including tax), but I hope this was informative.“

“Very welcoming and warm environment. Went for the first time yesterday and loved all the selections they had to offer. The coffee is good, and the aguas frescas are delicious! I had some Agua de Jamaica while there. I did see that the empanadas were so good that they sold out. I saw people going in and out with small boxes full of them. Definitely recommend.“

“I come to this location with a friend of mine once a week, every week after our shared class.
We always see Nancy. We’ve observed a few things about her over the weeks. She’s always smiling while she’s working. She’s one of the most patient people i’ve ever met while she takes our orders and sometimes we don’t know what we want. She always greats us with a smile and something along the lines of “You're back!!”
She and I look forward to our wednesdays where we can work and get coffee, but also see Miss Nancy. I hope she happens to see this, because she really makes two college students weeks!“

“Best caramel macchiato I’ve ever had. Thank you!“

“There's not much I can say about this place that wouldn't be already included in your average good review. But I would like to know that the staff here are quite friendly even if they get overwhelmed with customers and have offered to give me reasonable substitutions when they unfortunately run out of certain items that I want.“

“Love that it is walking distance from where I live“
