“Dropped in on a Sunday morning. Great coffee, tea and breakfast food ( plus lunch I assume, but we were here for breakfast) with lots of variety. Plus great service! Loved that there was seating inside and out. Our party of 4 was very happy with everything.“

“great customer service and coffee is the best“

“We recently had the pleasure of engaging Chinelo’s for our wedding reception, and we couldn't be more delighted with the experience. From the moment we engaged their services, we were met with professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to making our special day absolutely perfect. The culinary delights presented by Chinelo’s were nothing short of sensational. The chocolate fountain during cocktail hour, accompanied by an array of cheese, crackers, and meats, was a delectable highlight that had our guests raving. Each dish during dinner, from the crisp salad to the succulent chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, and perfectly cooked vegetables, was a symphony of flavors that delighted the palate and left everyone wanting more. Not only was the food exceptional, but the service provided by the wait staff was equally outstanding. They were attentive, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and taken care of. From seamlessly cutting our cake to serving our guests with grace and efficiency, they truly elevated the dining experience and added a touch of elegance to the evening. We cannot speak highly enough of Chinelo’s. Their professionalism, culinary expertise, and impeccable service exceeded our expectations in every way. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of catering services for their special event and look forward to the opportunity to work with them again in the future. Thank you for helping to make our wedding reception a truly unforgettable occasion!“

“This was the cleanest Panera Bread I've encountered in a while. Fairly spacious with a few alcoves if you like small spaces. The staff were super friendly and professional.

Until the sun goes down. Once the management leaves, the kitchen staff crank up their own music with explicit lyrics. NOT into the dining room. Dolly still plays there. But coming from the kitchen where you pick up your food.“

“I have been a long time Panera customer. Can someone tell why the drive is so poorly run? Panera needs to take some lessons from Chick-fil-A and Bojangles in Garner. Panera loses so much business at drive through. Why if one order takes longer than others - ask people to pull up front and that does not hold up the line. This is simply poor management.“

“Excellent catering for a corporate event. We had breakfast and lunch and everyone raved!“

“Stopped in with my Bestie for a small meal before leaving Raleigh. Looked over the menu, some great food choices. We choose to share the Sosta salad. Sat outside. Cute outside with plenty of space to eat and enjoy. A nice atmosphere. The restaurant gave us a nice serving of salad with a delicious roll. Every thing so fresh and delicious! We will definitely be back. Appears to be a nice family running this business , I love to support local businesses. I loved everything about this cafe.“

“OMGGGGGGGOSHHHH! I'm soo0o0o sorry I haven't hit this spot sooner. I believe Sara is who assisted me today and man what a Sweetie! I ordered the PinPassion fruit tea with lychee jelly(a must for me) and a Strawberry CROFFLE!! Yall... that crofflllleeee!?!?! Insane. just the right amount of crunch and decadence for a morning brunch. The music was a vibe and parking wasn't horrible. I did get a spot in the front but there is street parking also. They have games inside and a Ramen station when you can make your own🙌🏾. To0oooo much for me to indulge in one visit. I must come back for more vibes and goodness! #raleighnc #downtownraleigh #newmom #boymom #solodate“

“Amazing local spot. Great atmosphere and coffee drinks!!“

“Awesome service, Jawari (sp?) was so helpful and personable. He gave me more info about their products and was a nice calming presence. I got the Granola Crunch smoothie and he recommended adding blueberries. Great recommendation and a very well-made smoothie. Delicious! I will be back.“

“I'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“Love Love LOVE!! my granddaughter and I make this a reoccurring event. We love to enjoy SoBol together. Thank you Jenny!“

“Absolutely amazing cafe! I love the vibes in the back. My friend and I had a great time studying together. I also loved the ice cream and the chocolate croissants. The employee has ice water in the fridge too! We also got student discounts (10% off)! Definitely coming back here.“

“Highly recommend for your next event! We used the banquet room for a baby shower today and everything was amazing! Had a delicious crepe bar, charcuterie cups, fruit and an excellent coffee bar! The food was fantastic and everyone raved about it!“

“Amazing crepes and totally friendly staff.“

“For those seeking a healthier lifestyle and positive way to improve eating habits; look no further than the iconic JUICEKEYS, Located in Raleigh, NC at: 5011 Falls of Neuse Rd Unit B. Second time around; JUICEKEYS' service and quality has been absolutely outstanding! My entire day launches with impeccable power, and drive from the iconic ingredients JUICEKEYS uses in their fabulous blends. My personal favorite is the BLUE-GREN ZINI, and what a mental punch of focus it provides. My precision has been enhanced; distractions almost to zero, calming harmony seems to envelop me though out my day, which involves film production, visual effects-sound engineering, and the responsibilities of directing a crew of individuals. Moreover, morning coffee is a thing of the past now, and without doubt-I highly recommend visiting this epic establishment (JUICEKEYS). It's definitely a life changer! In conclusion, I'm personally eager to write more forthcoming reviews in support of JUICEKEYS, and my own journey of improving health (weight shape condition) etc. Very lastly, I'm sending an iconic "THANKS" to the owners of JUICEKEYS, and CLARKSTAR FILMS definitely champions (encourages) this business to keep doing marvelous things! You've definitely earned my business; continued support, and endorsement + recommendation to future JUICEKEYS customers. Article/Review By Michael Clarkstar“

“Unusual experience today at first watch. Greeter appeared to be a disinterested customer, approached me and asked “how many” while paying more attention to his phone than to my answer. Wasn’t dressed in the normal uniform and while I answered him I still assumed he was joking around since none of the workers were present. I’m sure my breakfast will be great as usual but someone needs to train him that he is the first impression a customer is going to get and my interaction with him wasn’t great“

“listen. this isn’t your run-of-the-mill museum dining experience, ok? I got a fried chicken sandwich that was delightfully crisp, paired with a tangy slaw and a bit of a kick. It was better than your average fast food chicken sandwich, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and size of the portion. Also, the environs are awesome with an airy vibe and large windows for views onto the street. The gift shop is just a stones throw from the dining area, and even when it’s busy it doesn’t feel crowded. The plates and cutlery add to the quality of the experience. Now, I will say the only person who spoke to me was the cashier and the employees don’t seem necessarily thrilled to be there, but it didn’t dampen my experience. Good spot for a bite either before or after a museum visit, definitely recommend it!“

“The food at First Watch is always delicious and Justin is an excellent server!“

“I have always had a great experience at First Watch 💓 So refreshing to see excellent customer service on display and a priority! Food was delicious and served quickly ✨ This is definitely our go to restaurant when we have guests in town 😍 Thanks First Watch!“

“Nestled in an business office complex, you may not see it at a glance. I only stopped because it was close to my hotel. Went there for lunch and the line was out the door. Well worth the wait. I had a gyro sandwich that was to die for. Mostly sandwiches, panini and wraps. They do have a special of the day that could be rice with a protein. Everything looked amazing. They do have in-dining tables. Very nice Spanish speaking ladies that are very quick and helpful. I will be back.“

“This is the best coffee house in Apex workout a doubt. So many great options, delicious coffee and the best cinnamon buns (according to my husband!). We go to Common Ground at least once a week and miss it a lot when we're out of town.“

“The best hospital food I've ever had. I know that's not saying much since the hospital food stereotype is not good, but Café3000 is really different compared to some of the other more generic ones I have visited. They have a Bores Head theme deli where you can make some great sandwiches. The hot grill section is always serving great food cooked fresh in front of you while you wait in line. I suggest the pancakes for breakfast, they are the bomb dot com! If you find yourself at the open grill for lunch or dinner, I would suggest the hot dogs (A.T.W. of Course)!, and every day is a different theme for mainly the employees but serves everyone. I really enjoy Chick-fil-A day, nothing g beats being in a hospital for respiratory failure and your wife is able to bring you a chicken sandwich with some Chick-fil-A sauce and one of their catering brownies! Thanks Café3000 for making my stays in the hospital feel a little more at home!P.S. If you actually read all this thanks and I am not sure if I used the correct spelling or not with the word course in my piece so I flipped a coin and it landed on heads so I went with the "U" instead of the "A" lol.“

“I love this church so much. It has felt like home for me from the moment I walked in August of 2022. From the moment you walk in, to the worship , to the pastors , they have a wonderful dream team and wonderful kid's ministry. This Church loves the community and truly loves Jesus. ❤️“

“I only eat clean: I love this place! It is truly an extension of my kitchen. I love all their stuff. Today I did a bone broth fast using their broth. It was great and I did not have to worry about making it. Thanks!“

“Met Jess today! What a kind friendly soul! Very willing to accommodate extra requests. Give her a raise! The food was fresh made and delicious! Tucked away and hidden, I almost don't want to review because I don't want share a secret great spot for breakfast and lunch, but here I am! Great job David Leach and Holly Hopkins. Keep doing this great fresh food! Thanks!“

“We utilized Pullen Place Cafe for our graduation picnic event on park grounds. From our first conversation, David, the owner, provided impeccable customer service. We had planned on outside catering, but his prices, options, onsite services, flexibile menu and quality food made it a no-brainer to switch. We were more than pleased with planning, as well as the service on the day of the event. David made everything so easy and customized the food to our event and needs. He went out of his way to accommodate a food sensitivity and made changes as needed, even on the day of the event. He personally delivered the food and was available to help in any way we needed him. He was so great we invited him to join our bingo game! Our guests loved the barbecue and accompaniments. Couldn’t really ask for anything more. I highly recommend Pullen Place Cafe for catering. P.S. Ask about the popsicle and slushie tickets for your event—a crowd pleaser!“

“Great experience inside store until trying to exit after paying for my items. Woman at the door was verifying receipts for one lady and was holding up 6 others from exiting. I went through the second lane to leave and she tried to block my cart. I showed receipt and said she needed to move out of my way. You need two colors for receipts. One for cashier assistance and the other for self checkouts!“

“This is one of 2 really good cafes at the museum of science in Raleigh. The museum is free and it is great having these cafes on site for lunch so you don't have to leave and interrupt your museum visit. The museum is so big that we took 2 days to visit and explore it so we ate at this cafe on our second day and the "Daily Planet" cafe on our first day. Both places are very good, convenient, reasonable prices, and friendly staffed. We enjoyed trying both places and the Acro cafe has really healthy and kid friendly choices as well. Yes, we would eat here again and will visit the museum again someday.“
