Let me relay the experience I just had, 1749 MST 20 February. Just now leaving at that time stamp. Ordered the "Sriracha" egg salad, panini style. That was based on recommendation - I asked the guy at the counter "Should I get the egg salad or grilled cheese," both looked pretty good from the menu description. He says based on the weather he thinks egg salad. It's chilly out. He asks regular sandwich or panini style? Panini i say. He brings it out later. Not grilled, saying, "Sorry we haven't figured out the way to do this one panini style yet, then drops and just leaves but not before I say, "Hey is there Sriracha in this"? (It looks like plain egg salad, bread is dry itself and no smear of Sriracha evident nor any hint of redness to the egg salad. "Oh it's in there," he says but I can bring you some if you need it. Walks away before I can reply. I eat half then bring him the plate saying, "there's zero hint of Sriracha in this egg salad and the bread is dry and hard to eat," and then I put the plate on the bar saying, "I'll just leave this with you,"
His reply, "Okay." He takes it away immediately into the kitchen. No offer to rectify or remedy.
I used to like this place. It's gone though from bad to worse. I won't be going back.
"Thanks for coming in," he says as I leave. "I won't be back," I reply as I walk out.
I paid 10 dollars for the sandwich and he took half back offering no remedy!

Read moreI lived in Kinston for a bit, and this place is such a delight to have access to every day, though it's open to the public. It's a small coffee shop/bar with beautiful mountain views, and outdoor seating. The interior is so cutely decorated. I love the coffee drinks- always tasting good! The food is delicious - especially the tomato soup and grilled cheese, and the cinnamon roll is an experience in a hot mini cast iron skillet. I wish they had more food options (not sure if they have a chef currently?) though.
It's fairly quiet and calm there so it's a nice place to read or work. The seating options are varied - from comfy sofas, to solid wooden chairs - everything is stylish and comfortable.
I will definitely miss this place! You should absolutely go check it out. Oh, and there's a splash pad in the...
