I met a friend here for an early morning coffee when they opened at 7am and there was a line out the door! The ambiance in here was great and I was excited to try it.
The coffee/espresso was not great to be honest. It was fine but there is better coffee in Raleigh. Come here for the atmosphere!
Great for a meeting, date, or wfh

Great coffee with a cozy vibe. It's in a business park, but still feels lively with a lot of plants! They use Black and White beans, and the baristas know their stuff! Good place to meet up or work from home!
Very clean! Nice bathrooms with changing tables.
Espresso drinks are my favorite!
Food prices are a little high, but they are quality and tasty!

The Optimist, in Raleigh is a great place to start your day with coffee. Nicely decorated with lots of natural light — the menu is just as impressive. Highlighting the food selection and house made syrups. I found the espresso / cortado to be just right.
Really great place to work or study too — including a private booth to take calls. I’ll be back tomorrow morning.

Pretty cafe and nice menu items. I had a Palm Reader (tea steamer with coconut oolong tea and ginger syrup) from their seasonal drinks menu, which was quite flavorful and refreshing. I enjoyed it alongside a croissant, which was decent but would have tasted better if it was warmed. The only downside was that they were out of snacks (except that one croissant) at the time of my visit (Saturday afternoon around 3 pm).

I came to grab some coffee and be productive while my teenager hung out at the mall with friends. This coffee shop is beautiful with nice views and well laid out for its size. The barista was nice, anticipated my questions and provided quick service. I witnessed him greet everyone who came in with similar or more delight. Wi-fi was on point. Bathrooms were clean. Parking was easy. I’ll return when I’m back on this side of Raleigh. I highly recommend.
