If only i could leave 10 stars! Cafe nine twenty-nine hosted our daughter’s coffee bar and wedding reception. The staff were the consummate professionals: welcoming and cheerful, yet competent, responsive and efficient. The buffet was beyond fantastic in presentation and flavor! The brisket was, hands down, the best we’d ever tasted (and we’ve tasted a lot of brisket in our lives!) Many of our guests exclaimed over the flavor.
The presentation of both the coffee bar and buffet was beautiful, contributing to the quiet intimacy of the “coffee shop vibe”. As the hostess, i feel like cafe 929 offered our guests, most of whom were from the upper U.S. and Canada, a wonderful and gracious example of southern flavors and hospitality.

Ever since, I've been going at least twice a week. The sausage muffins are absolutely divine. I've started to really enjoy my morning mochas. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable, they always answer my noob questions about coffee in lamen's terms without making me feel like an out-of-place idiot for not understanding all of the different types.
I kind of wish I understood what bad coffee tasted like so that I could truly appreciate how good the coffee is.
Great atmosphere, as well. If I was a student I'd be here often studying and...
