always good! 7/11/2006

Love their signature salad, their pannini's, and their chicken salad on croissant. I always get their cupcake for dessert, even if I feel guilty later for it, they are just soo good! The sweet tea is good there and I always go away feeling full and happy. My only complaint is how busy it can be sometimes, esp for lunch! But, doesn't keep me from going. :) Pros: chicken salad, sweet tea, Cupcakes!! Cons: busy busy at lunch! more

say my name 7/6/2006

who wouldn't love to walk into a restaurant and have the employees know your name. everyone is so friendly with the customers. maybe i eat at the various triangle locations a few too many times but i enjoy having my mocha latte handed to me before i even order. the downtown location is a great chance for excercise. i leave my office and walk the few short blocks for my mocha and cookie as an afternoon snack. Pros: friendly and attentive staff Cons: not enough locations...what about apex? more

Neighborhood Cafe 7/4/2006

I discovered Cafe Carolina about a year ago and have introduced all my friends to it. Great salads - the Signature Salad is my favorite. The sandwiches are terrific, especially the paninis on thick grilled bread. All the breads are fresh-baked - you get your choice of bread with the salads. Be sure to top off your meal with a cupcake - they're out of this world. Pros: Fresh, Fast and Flavorful food Cons: Cupcakes are habit forming! more

Best Sandwiches/Salads 7/2/2006

This restaurant is all about fresh baked. From the items found in the bakery area (love the cup cakes), to the fresh baked bread for the sandwiches (love the panini's) and the hand tossed salads, you won't find another cafe around here that can match the taste. The service was great and being able to sit outside is a plus. Pros: Thumbs up for the Sandwiches Cons: Free Wi-Fi made me stay for dessert more

Where is the Chicken Noodle Soup? 1/5/2006

I was very unhappy today when I returned to my office, finding my chicken noodle soup was mostly soup, what gives? The chicken salad was great but they need to work on putting more ingredients in the soup, I have many friends that like eating here and I do too, but boy was I unhappy today. Maybe they should try Campbell or Presgo instead? Pros: Sandwiches, Variety, Nice Breakfast items Cons: Soup lacking, Not Friendly, Pricey more

Sweet Potato biscuits 9/18/2005

My husband and I ate here a few times when we visited North Carolina. I fell in love with the Sweet Potato biscuits and wish I could have them shipped to me. The service wasn't the greatest but it seemed like a standard, busy place. Pros: Food more
