“Excellent coffee! Excellent croissant! Excellent service! Café bom! Croissante excelente! Serviço simpatico!“

“Coffee shop in the historic area of Winston-Salem that also serves small bites, wine and beer. It is open, spacious and bright with lots of comfortable seating. It has a downstairs lounge and an outdoor patio, extending the space to include many options for gathering with friends.“

“Great draft beer and garden patio. Kid friendly“

“absolutely love their vibes and coffee!“

“Melrose is THE place that gives out the cozy vibe...the interior design exudes an exquisite taste of class and social life, inviting indeed to all who intend to chill by having a cuppa ( tea or coffee) or simply a glass of wine...“

“Chris and Deb are amazing! Every time I walk in they greet me with a smile! I am so happy they brought the brownies back!“

“Coffee Park Airstream has created its own marvelus little world filled with charming, talented baristas and yummy baked goods from local shops. The old hippies meet for coffee there. The atmosphere is progressive, the shop conveniently located and the coffee is splendid.“

“I was so glad to find this spot. The staff were great, making sure I was happy, in spite of a minor issue with their grinder that made my pour over take a few minutes longer. It was well worth the wait. The scone by Elderflower bakery was amazing. The coffee was delicious. The barista answered all my questions. I left with a bag of coffee.“

“Delicious lattes! The huckleberry crisp latte is to die for.“

“Great customer service! The weekly specials are awesome.“

“Friendly environment and great coffee!“

“The best experience I had in a coffee cup!“

“Extremely quick in and out service... It's almost like you have a virus and they want you out as soon as possible....🤗“

“We had our baby shower here, the atmosphere was laid back and chill, the food was incredible. We will definitely be back. The staff was super nice and accommodating to whatever we needed. Overall just a great spot for some great sandwiches and good vibes.“

“Came for the first time today and tried the red velvet drink and I’ve made a huge mistake because now I can’t live without it!!! 😅😅😅“

“I’ve been here twice now and it’s great! I’ve tried an egg and cheese breakfast croissant, a butter croissant and twice I’ve ordered a decaf vanilla latte with macadamia milk and it hits the spot every time! The staff is so friendly and patient and the drinks get to you prompt! A little longer in the food but nothing a little sitting and scrolling can’t fix. Will definitely revisit this place when I’m working in Clemmons a couple times a week.“

“Absolutely delicious! Our favorite was the strawberry butterfly. My daughter and I have been looking for just this kind of donut shop in the area, and we were not disappointed. The staff was friendly and helpful. Give them a try!“

“You’ll walk through an alleyway that is decorated with a literary mural on both sides. You’ll find this little gem is snuggled into a nook with two entry ways. One door is to a coffee shop that had the tastiest coffee flight and exceptional customer service. The coffee shop is industrially furnished and decorated with beautiful pieces of art accompanied by relaxed lighting. The second door farther to the left is for the bookstore. This bookstore gives books a million vibes but someone took the time to list bookmarks for each section, explaining the types of books you’re looking at. They work with the community schools, as well. I’m not usually one for a “city” environment but this spot is a treasure!“

“holy smokes! this place is GOOD. let me be completely honest- I just moved to the area and was not thrilled I no longer had a coffee shop within 5 minutes from my house. I don’t really like sweets much, but I saw they served coffee, so I just stopped in to test it out. I was wrong and this is literally a coffee shop and bakery (anddd ice cream shop!). I can’t tell you how happy I was! We also got cupcakes and when I tell you this is the ONLY cupcake I’ve ever enjoyed in my life, that is the 100% truth. This icing is amazing and not too sweet. The coffee was pretty good also. They have plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor, with rocking chairs too. I’ll take more pictures next time I go. I absolutely love this place!!“

“I enjoyed a relaxing hour with a friend, as we got caught up on things. The shop was cheery, bright, and well-designed, The two baristas were professional and courteous.“

“My partner and I had an amazing time there! The atmosphere was very calm, historic, and welcoming. The customer service was absolutely AMAZING, and all the rooms have so much character!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for wheelchair access.“

“As of this current year, up until this morning, I was thrilled with this location. Being that I work in Clemmons, I used to frequent the Clemmons spot, but that location is absolutely awful. Nice baristas but the wait, and parking lot logistics are so very bad. I started to go out of my way, and used Cloverdale. For a long time, it was my favorite. Great baristas deliver yummy food & service. Then they started with a barista out in the drive through, which IMO, resulted in watery drinks and cold food. So, I started with Jonestown. Not as out of my way, but still backtracking. Anyway, great baristas and yummy food. I even got hit while waiting at the window, by the dude behind me. But even that, didn’t compare to today’s crappy visit. I don’t know where the regular crew were, and I understand that people have bad days, but when you work with the public directly, and you are the face people see before driving away, you really should be at your best and act happy with your job, or at the very least smile and be courteous. The guy seemed deflated and told me it was busy, though I have seen it way worse. I tried to make it better by smiling and attempting to chat, but he just stood there and didn’t engage. Then he handed me one bag, and said have a good day. I said I still needed another bag and a drink. He looked at me with a blank expression. I then looked into the bag, and didn’t see my sandwich. I notified him it was wrong and he didn’t seem concerned. I showed him the bag and he said, yea a bacon Gouda. I said yea but it’s sausage and cheddar, it’s wrong. Again, blank stare. Someone else came over, I repeat myself and that person looks in the bag and says oh they put sausage on it, and walks away. I say to original barista, they also put cheddar, it’s not the sandwich I ordered. He finally says oh yea we made the wrong one. Ugh. So he steps away and comes back with another bag (my bakery item). Hands it to me and says have a good day. I say, I am still waiting for the coffee and the correct sandwich. So he steps away again and hands me the correct sandwich, which looks like someone made it without and care - ciabatta is off the egg and bacon is dangling off the sandwich, fine whatever. I repeat about my coffee. He looks confused. I repeat my coffee order, he steps away, and then as he is handing it to me, he runs his hand all over the top of the lid, including the spout area 🤦🏻‍♀️ It started with ordering. I’ve ordered my coffee this way for years. A grande iced coffee - light ice - with caramel & cream, classic ok. But this time the barista didn’t understand and started asking me if I wanted caramel syrup or drizzle. I have no idea, no one has ever asked me?? Ugh. I’m not typically a complainer, I usually broadcast fabulous service and understand everyone has bad days. But, I don’t think I will return to this location, which doesn’t leave me with many other location options. Now I’m deflated and I’m heading into work. Will I let this crappy morning affect me? No, because I work with the public and that’s not how I roll.“

“Cool setting, shady outside tables due to an enormous tree. Limited inside seating, but it is cozy. The doughnuts are amazing, with both classics, specials and seasonal flavors. They are freshly made when ordered, so there is a small wait for this awesome treat. The coffee options are good, and they do seasonal latte recipes as well.“

“Always delicious food in a friendly environment. Excellent value for the price, and stellar customer service. Don't miss out!“

“The coffee is good, and it's a pleasant place to sit and sip while you let them other folks seem comfortable cursing each other out on Jonestown Rd. Rather amusing really. Thanks for the experience. KCS AND COMPANY.

Parking: I Ride a blue scooter. I find parking easily.“

“Stupendously great gelato! I've been spoiled by a now-closed (COVID) gelato shop in Charleston, SC, as well as one in Raleigh. I did my research, and have visited both locations of Cafe Gelato. Fantastic gelato, great people. Fortunately, if I go out of my way, it's right on my way. I wouldn't go anywhere else!!“

“Went to The Remedy for the first time today. Great location. Excellent coffee, AMAZING hibiscus mimosa, and super cool staff. I loved the vibe. It was a great place to sit and get my work done today. I got to meet the owners too Burgess and his wife are real cool people. And I definitely look forward to meeting with them more and doing my own business from there more often!“

“They were out of Nitro cold brew but Kelsey the one taking my order suggested that I get the regular vanilla sweet cream cold brew with cold foam to replicate the nitro, and even as a former Starbucks employee I didn’t even think to do that and it turned out to be even better! Love that they try to accommodate here.“

“so fresh !ll can't praise them enough great prices and always fresh. I love the decor and the employees are always friendly. THANK YOU ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good ☕ coffee, especially for the nearby businesses and those shoppers already in the Whole Foods (where this coffee shop is located). They have a few ? espresso drinks, drip coffee, good indoor seating, and low prices. There is also ♿ handicap accessible parking, seating, and restrooms.“

“Great place. Owner is a good guy too. Will continuously keep going back.“

“My wife and I absolutely loved our experience here! The drinks were innovative, unique and well worth the money. The upstairs section is more intimate, and the bartenders create a drink specifically for you based off of your conversation with them. 100/10 would recommend!“

“a few years ago, my mom was having surgery at the hospital and i was there with her for a few days. now, keep in mind, i was around 12 at this time. i noticed there was a starbucks in the hospital and my dad bought me some iced coffee (this was in 2017 so i don’t remember what drink) because it was early. well, my sister came along later and recommended a drink to get. so i got another drink a couple minutes later. then my mom gives me money and i get yet another drink. it was like 10 in the morning and the worker didn’t question why this twelve year old was downing three venti coffees at that time. i don’t remember his name or much else about it, but i reminisce about those times every time i pass it.“

“Im writing this review just to highlight Annabelle and how amazing her energy, demeanor, and aura is. This is my second time meeting her at this Starbucks and she’s truly made me want to come to this Starbucks only. Thank you Annabelle for being one of the kindest people I’ve ever met <3“

“Located just off the elevators from the Publix parking garage, this Starbucks is convenient to grab a hot or cold beverage before heading in to Publix to shop. The barista here made great recommendations and she made the caffeine-pick-me-up just perfect!“

“taste so good. Hope they bring a food truck to Denton nc.“

“Yummy food, great coffee, super fast service and friendly staff.“

“This location is sometimes, hit or miss. The very first couple of times we visited here the food was cold and the employee was distracted on their phone. However, both times we have returned (after a long break) it’s been very nice. Hot food & attentive employees. The Carmel Apple is my personal favorite. Overall glad they decided to come to Winston.“

“The cashier told me I was beautiful and it made my day! I was feeling terrible because I went to the doctor and they told me I didn’t look like my profile photo (I’ve gained 40 pounds after having a baby) and let me tell you, this girl just made my day. Shout out to the sweet cashier with black hair @ 11:45 on 11-3-20. Made me smile on a bad day, I appreciate it. ❤️ love this location (Reynolda road). Y’all keep being amazing!“

“I visited Camino which was a short walk away from my hotel and perfect for a cup of coffee. This place was clean, with a ton of character and efficient staff. It was also crowded with what I assume are loyal customers. Overall, Camino is a refreshing departure from big chain coffee shops.“

“Service was excellent! Autumn spice mile was perfect and not too sweet! Matcha was made well. Paradise peach iced tea was refreshing. We had the tarts de Santiago, mixed berry danish, almond horn, and the death by chocolate brownie and all were exceptionally well made. The tarte and brownie were gf and both were amazing! We had someone in a wheelchair and easily got her in and there was room inside as well while being easy to navigate.“

“Ordered a club sandwich and chunky hashbrowns for carryout. A large portion of food and it was delicious!“

“Delish coffee and it’s located in the mall.... the long wait isn’t fun, but the coffee is worth it!“
