Carolina Coffee Shop is a historic restaurant with over a century of satisfied customers. It offers a cozy atmosphere and generous portions. The CCS Classic Omelet is a favorite among visitors. The restaurant serves great coffee and delicious food, including the Eggs Jennifer with poached eggs, spinach, and avocado. Despite occasional slow service, it remains a popular breakfast spot near the college campus. Customers appreciate the staff's extra efforts, such as writing special notes and providing mini cakes for celebrations. Its convenient location at 138 Franklin Street and wide selection of breakfast, lunch, and early dinner options make it a solid choice for the Carolina community. The inside has a rustic, historic feel reminiscent of a stable from the university town's past, adding to its charm. Seating by the road is available if preferred, and the outdoor area provides a nice view. While service can sometimes be slow, especially when requesting a coffee refill, the effort put into the food and atmosphere keeps visitors returning. The booths are old and wooden, adding to the cozy ambiance, but may be uncomfortable for larger guests. Overall, Carolina Coffee Shop remains a beloved spot for a good breakfast or brunch experience.
