Casa Blanca Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Castle Hayne

Outstanding hospitality! I am in town just this weekend, and I decided to stop by Casa Blanca for a coffee. They offer plenty of outdoor seating—perfect for me because I have two cats (on a harness and leash). We weren’t able to sit outside upon arriving (there was a dog); however, we were able to find a spot inside. I am thrilled the employees permitted this. In fact, they gave my cats water and introduced themselves to them. ❤️ Unfortunately, my kitties were a notch uneasy given they don’t interact with people, but I do appreciate everyone was welcoming and friendly! We were eventually able to sit outside where my cats were most comfortable. 😊 Anyway, the iced coffee I received and the sweetened caramel latte my daughter ordered were fantastic and refreshing! The blueberry scone and blueberry muffin were also perfectly baked, soft, and delicious! 😋 The environment itself was cordial: students working on their laptops whilst others were apparently on a coffee date. 🥰 I’m glad I stopped by, and I recommend you (reading this)...

I have passed this place on my way to work for years and finally decided to give it a try. I was so incredibly disappointed. I ordered the large (16 oz) caramel latte and almost threw it away because it was so awful tasting. (Cost over $6) It was so watered down, lacked any flavor, and had a strange after taste. Another major let down is the flavor options. They ONLY HAVE 4. Vanilla, sugar free vanilla, caramel, and chocolate. I'm sorry but thats just lazy and ridiculous for a coffee shop of this size. Also they do not offer a military discount. That's just the gold standard for coffee shops in my opinion. I believe the main reason this place is popular is because it's decorated tastefully and the location. There are not many other coffee shops in the...

Place is nice & clean. That’s where it ends. Food is terribly overpriced. The owner struts around in open toed shoes going back and forth into the kitchen area. Also I know someone who worked In the kitchen and expressed the lack of a hood Vent. So either the food is being microwaved or cooked illegally. Either way very unprofessional. When the most recent Heath inspection took place the owner shut down the kitchen ( wonder why) and then fired the cook who was on duty because he wouldn’t lie to the inspector. Really shameful because that person is hard worker and didn’t deserve to be fired In that manner. Employee turn over rate is absurd and management actively practices favoritism. There are much nicer , authentic , legitimate places to spend your hard...
