The Optimist Raleigh is a charming spot for coffee and breakfast or lunch. The café serves flavorful drinks, such as the Stacey's Mom drink and seasonal lattes with cardamom, along with delicious food like the Chris P Bacon Sandwich. The eclectic space has friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a perfect place to sit, relax, and enjoy a meal. Customers appreciate the inviting vibe, tasty coffee, and great muffins, though some note that the service can be slow during busy times. Parking can be limited, and drinks are somewhat small for the price, but the overall environment is calm and perfect for hanging out, reading, or working. The café is recommended for those looking to try new places and enjoy a relaxing meal, especially for remote work. A little kindness from the staff goes a long way, enhancing the experience for all who visit.
