My latte was great. Ordered very basic eggs, bacon & toast. Over easy eggs were over cooked, bacon was VERY crispy & toast had very little butter. Service very slow. Would come back for the coffee. Will nit order food here.

Over steamed milk, bitter, worse than Starbucks on a bad day. Very disappointing :(
I love this place. The baristas are always so nice and welcoming when I come in. One even made me a matcha green tea frap one day and it was delicious.

I haven’t been to my hometown in nearly 40 years. Today I was going to pass Tarboro on my way to Maryland and I just couldn’t resist the urge to take the 64 exit. I wanted to connect with locals and ask them about how the town of Tarboro is doing in general. My travels have taken me all over the US, but I often think about where I was born and my early years there. I picked up lunch to go just down the street, but wandered down Main and found a lovely surprise in Tarboro Coffee House. It’s a long drive from Wilmington to Maryland on little sleep, and I could tell by the beautiful appearance of the shop that this was going to be a great cup of coffee. Every detail of the appearance of the shop is so spectacular! The impeccable design of the logo, the colors, the eclectic elements like the antique record player (a Victrola perhaps?) that caught my eye in the window drew me in. Maybe it’s the painter in me, but I set a lot of store in aesthetics, and that kind of attention to detail bespeaks a passion that I believe translates into a truly flawless product. I have found this to be particularly true of small businesses whose drive and motivation comes from a deep love of what they do, and the people they serve. The effort put into the storefront, (and the inside) raised my expectations and I was not disappointed. I was greeted by a friendly barista named Haley who set about making me feel welcomed immediately. I asked her for a recommendation for a sweet espresso drink and she suggested the special. I wish I could remember what it was called, but it was a white mocha with some extra ingredients, and she impressed me with the wide selection of milk choices. It’s reassuring to know I don’t have to sacrifice my gut health for a beverage there. Man that has got to be the best drink I’ve ever tasted!!! It was delicious, and not overly sweet or too rich. The drink stayed consistent until the last sip. There was no syrup or chocolate lining the bottom of the cup. She really knew how to make a good cup of coffee! I was really blessed to catch Haley, (not sure how she spells her name, I’m sorry!) in the afternoon because we had time to converse about the current state of the town. It was so nice to talk to someone who was also born there and who grew up there. I’ve been so curious about Tarboro since my family moved away in 1986. What a beautiful experience, service, gathering place you all have created here. I really can’t thank you enough for giving me the chance to not only have a great cup of coffee, but to reconnect with my hometown, and to meet one her best and brightest in Haley. She has a very good head on her shoulders, and her kindness towards me is so appreciated. I know how hard it is to run a small business especially in food service, and how much it hurts your heart when people don’t see the hard work that goes into it. They white-glove and overly scrutinize family-owned business while giving endless chances to major corporations that compromise on the quality and safety of their products and services. Well I want you to know you are seen, appreciated and admired. Please don’t ever give up this beautiful dream you’ve realized. You’re doing something so wonderful. Well done!

Stopped by on my way to the OBX. My cappuccino was lovely. The cup was nice and light when I picked it up, rightly so, and the espresso was rich but not at all bitter. The interior is also really nice, cozy and inviting. Great service, welcoming.
