42 & Lawrence

The location and barista were excellent. My cinnamon roll was tasty, and my coffee was good, but not great. The coffee is the only reason I took off a star, and in all reality it would be half a star but Google doesn’t have that option. The drink was good, it just wasn’t well made and that’s my only complaint. The barista was very friendly and greeted everyone with a ln enthusiastic welcome when they entered. Overall a great experience and worth a visit.

The lady who prepared our lattes this morning was extremely sweet and went out of her way to make sure that our lattes were exactly how we wanted. The house made caramel and pumpkin sauce is a must. We appreciate the local hospitality. We are already looking forward to returning the next time that we are home!

I really am trying to throw this place more in rotation. I'm loyal to Morning Times but since it's so popular I go to 42&Lawrence when the line is long at MT. So my hesitation with this place is the harsh overwhelming cleaning product smell. It's a cheap cleaner like fabuloso that resonates through the space. It even over powers a strong odor like coffee. The baked goods could be made fresh in house but unfortunately it's cased products warmed in a microwave oven. The drink selection is standard. Nothing particularly special nor unique. There's also overwhelming amount of product at the front shelves giving a little bit of messy and disheveled look to a otherwise sophisticated space. I think service is nice and polite. Overall, a good place for a quick coffee when the other coffee places have long lines.

This place was awesome. My wife and I popped in for an after dinner espresso and it was DELICIOUS! It was the perfect temperature and it was served with a small side of sparkling water. Not to mention the atmosphere in the store is smooth like butter. They have bar seating inside and a couple tables and chairs to sit curbside. We will be back.

Having lived in Seattle for a while, I've seen quite a few creative takes on coffee. 42 & Lawrence has those other places beat! I tried the Peach Tango with cold brew, peach puree, and some sparkling drink (tonic?). Genius! Perfect for the sweltering afternoon in Raleigh, tasty and unique! This and wonderful service and cosy bright cafe environment. Will return if I'm ever in the area!!

This coffee shop is located right on the corner of the iconic Moore street Park. It’s not just a coffee shop just look at the menu to see the offerings are varied, you can if you want indulge in wines etc. The shop is on the corner, it’s reasonably sized with tasteful decorated, it offers its own brand coffee and other branded coffee products, was served by a helpful and friendly server who knows her stuff The snacks are inviting, which one should one chose, my choice was the coffee cake which was slightly warmed for me, along with the cappuccino, my afternoon moment was complete .

This is a cute little shop. The service was top notch! We got two cold brews and a matcha. All three drinks were good but not great. We would’ve left five stars for atmosphere because it was such a great space, but we struggled with gnats horribly bad. We were going to stay and read but had to leave because the gnats were so bad.
