Super tasty! I had an iced vanilla latte with macadamia milk and it was unlike any latte I've ever had. So very tasty! And the barista taking my order was super nice and helpful, he let me try some of the macadamia milk before committing. These people care about their craft🫶

The blueberry croissant is next level.

Best cafe/pastries in town and it’s not particularly close. Coffee is incredible too, and even better now that they roast their own beans. The only thing I could ask is that it were closer to my apartment

We love Whisk & Rye! Me and my family are newer to town and I am so happy I found a local coffee shop and bakery around the corner from our house. We love bringing visitors here so they can taste their baked goods and coffee. The iced macadamia latte is a treat for me and I always look forward to ordering it!

Really love this little place. I take my kid there for breakfast from time to time, and their blueberry croissants are bomb! Kinda pricey but support local businesses! No one wants another Starbucks. They have some local crafts too!

Amazing coffee and baked goods and an awesome selection of vegan baked goods too. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well. One of the most enjoyable coffee experiences I’ve had!

Love the vegan cinnamon rolls. They are more of a light and airy roll so doesnt feel like a fat bomb, which I enjoy.

I just missed the vegan cinnamon rolls - once they’re gone for the day, they’re gone. But most of the other pastries are massive. Parking can be difficult on a weekend but there are more spots than I expected. Worth the visit!

- Solid 4
- Baked good are great. Not excellent.
- Items feel a litttttle bit more expensive than they should be.
- Pleasant service.
- Something personally just feels off about the place. Idk, maybe they do some ‘chakra blessings’ on the food. Definitely don’t do that. 🧐☝️😆

The coffee was good, but not amazing, and the prices are reasonable. I didn't try the food, but it looked yummy. I really like the laid back atmosphere. I like it much more than any of the chain coffee shops. I would come here often if I lived closer.

This was my first time at Whisk & Rye, and I was pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of savory pastries. Since moving to NC from Europe, it’s been hard to find a bakery with that offers savory pastries. I was shopping for the research group I work with at Duke, and with different dietary restrictions, I was able to find something for everyone. The vegans and dairy-free members of the group said the vegan croissants tasted amazing! The croissants are the best I’ve had, hands down. The pastries are huge, affordable, and offer great value for the money. I’ll definitely be returning!

First time coming in today. Guy working behind the counter was very friendly! Absolutely love, the cold brew and the ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was flaky ,buttery, and did not disappoint. One of the best cold brews I’ve had also. Definitely will be back.
