Good coffee and yogurt, granola and berries. A few other breakfast options on the menu. Nice place to find a corner table and catch up with a friend. 15-minute wait at rush hour. The cashier alerted us to make sure we were not in a hurry.

Nice place to get gelato... Coffee orders are always slow and frustrating. It's like they don't want people to order coffee/latte. I'll be back for gelato but no longer for coffee. Also online orders shouldn't be a second priority to the line. People who paid online already paid and shouldn't get worse service because of the order method. I would not leave this review for a one time thing. My Wife and I frequently have this experience.

They take so so so so so so so so so long every single time i come here. It's so aggravating. Makes me not want to even bother anymore! Expect to wait a half an hour even if you place an online order for a single small simple drink.

The best thing here is the gelato. It’s super high end. Smoothies >$7 latte >$7. Served in to go cups. Not a ton of natural lighting, but some seating decent for working. The gelato is really nice actually, esp spicy mango.

Some outdoor seating.

I have had their smoothies and one of their lattes, Rocky Mountain latte. I asked for less sweet and it was still too sweet to finish.

Good wine selection. We enjoyed a half priced bottle since it was a Wed. We enjoyed the Sancere. Also a nice Vinho Verde. Sometimes they have live music on Wednesdays. They now have a food menu that a partner business fulfills to your table.

The gelato here was atrocious. I love ice creams and gelatos and I like trying out gelatos at new places. This was my first time here and very likely the last. We tried the lemon flavored gelato. It was not a sorbet, but a gelato, which we liked. However, the "gelato" was waxy in texture, the lemon flavor tasted synthetic, it had none of the creaminess that gelatos are supposed to have, and was extremely sweet which undercut the acidity that the lemon was supposed to render. We were very disappointed. The staff were nice and were open to let us try a couple samples. The ambience is comforting and could be a good place to read a book or get some work done if they serve coffee (I am not sure if they do). But their main draw is the gelato which is horrible and I do not see myself getting gelato from here in the foreseeable future.

Easily the best coffee shop in Chapel Hill & Carrboro. The coffee is excellent (I recommend the Mexican Mocha) and the staff are very friendly. The seasonal drinks are always well worth trying too!

A wonderful little shop that offers gelato, coffee, milkshakes, etc. Went there with my 4 year old son on a blistering Saturday evening. I ordered their espresso gelato milkshake while my son got the chocolate gelato. Both items were delicious and helped us stave off the heat and humidity.
