Iris Coffee Lab Reviews
Go see Barista Mancini. He makes the best espresso drinks
This place makes coffee an art form. Everything is perfectly balanced and I'll be thinking about how good this place is all day. We had a bagel sandwich which was, again perfectly balanced with a tiny bit of spice and crunch with the softness of a fresh bagel. Incredible, I'm in love. 😍
Only call-outs would be that they are remodeling and inside is LOUD and you do pay for the art, but it's well worth it.
This was our 1st visit to Iris. I had heard about it and I was not disappointed. The cherry marzipan latte was excellent. I got it hot to enjoy the full flavor even though it is hot outside. Probably just as good cold. We had a blueberry muffin too. Super nice people and a great coffee vibe inside and outdoor seating. Going back again.

Iris Coffee Lab in Raleigh is a cozy spot known for its high-quality coffee and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to assist customers in finding the perfect drink. The flat whites are expertly made, with a perfect balance of espresso and milk. The shop is filled with plants and authentic artwork, creating a unique vibe.
The menu offers a variety of options, including a seasonal specialty that is usually quite good, though it may not appeal to everyone's taste. Customers have praised the exceptional quality of the Matcha, which is a must-try. The mango sticky rice Matcha was sensational, and the breakfast bagels were fire, creatively and deliciously executed. The pour-over coffee was fruity, citrusy, and playful, inspiring customers.
While seating is limited and it can get crowded, it's a great place to relax with a delicious cup of coffee. The coffee shop is located in a mixed-use building, with a relaxed ambiance and background music that doesn't overwhelm. However, the concrete floors and other features can contribute to an echoing sound. The place is very minimalistic, which some customers prefer over the maximalist design of other coffee shops in the area.
