Loved the old building. Beadboard, nice bold paint job and some exposed brick. Art from local artist displayed tastefully and info on purchasing from artist. Latte was enjoyable. Also have some bakery items and bagel sandwiches. Reasonably priced. Will definitely go back.

This is my go-to coffee shop in Carrboro! The staff are always so friendly and seem happy to be there. The quality of the espresso and their homemade syrups are also top notch. They are one of the few coffee shops that actually seem to get a latte RIGHT. It's never overly milky and the taste of the espresso always shines through. The ambiance is definitely more of an industrial feel, and they have tons of space and a nice outdoor patio.

This was my first time in and I loved the space and the atmosphere. The staff was very welcoming of me and very friendly. I got their mint mocha special, highly recommend. My friend got their spiced apple cider which smelled amazing. I look forward to going back and trying new things!

EDIT: Like everywhere else, this place has now been taken over by boomers and bros who scroll tiktok full volume and take speakerphone calls. They're everywhere and no one asks them to stop. I don't come as much anymore because of it, because it's so distracting I can't really relax or get work done. ORIGINAL: The social contract in this place is unbreakable. Never in all my years of going here have I seen one person watching TikTok/YouTube without headphones. There are no dogs spreading their hair and drool around the place, no blonde people letting their demon spawn kids run around screamin
