Dan: The best independent coffee shop in the area. Love their Hot chocolate coffee iced or hot. A great place to get some work done too.
Amanda Harris: Best coffee I've ever had. I promise that anything you get will be delicious. If you're looking for something a little different try the Chocolate Habanero iced coffee!
Michael M: Dave says "I'm actually descended from a long line of octopus" commenting on his ability to serve up his most delicious coffee creations. Watch him and you'll agree.

Paul Novarese: I love this place. Lots of character, great baristas, and interesting people.
Alaric Hahn: Careful of the dude who cuts in line wearing pajama pants. He's crafty...and sweaty.
The News & Observer: Try the Al Mokha: a semisweet spin on the standard, thanks to its real melted dark chocolate and Sri Lankan cinnamon topping, the latter a nod to the port as a trade stop in the spice trade route. Read more.

Simal Soydan: Great place to study and drink coffee/tea. As a herbal tea person, I got the sister love tea and it was delicious. Highly recommended to people who enjoy orange peel in their tea.
Jeff Bowen: Nice, clean space with a decent amount of seating and a conference room (not sure if it’s just first-come-first-served?). Good coffee and food. Wi-Fi network is “Coffee”, password is “sillyrabbit”.
Paul Novarese: Friendly service and the chai is great.
Julia Loni Turner: I absolutely love this place. I’ve gc new for coffee, to study, or have meetings. They always remember your order and bring your drink right to you and it’s a perfect place for any occasion
