The Creative Cup — Restaurant in Zebulon

First of all - Zebulon needed a coffee shop so badly so yay! The people who work here are super sweet and very friendly. The interior is beautiful.

Unfortunately the coffee misses the mark. Every drink I have ordered so far has been luke warm and basically tasteless. The coffee doesn’t taste like coffee when you add even a slightly bit of cream to it and the espresso drinks barely taste like there is any espresso in there.

I don’t know what else to say but the coffee is just not good. I suggest the owners take a trip to cup a Joe on hillsborough street and sample some of their in house blends to get a good example of what good drip coffee tastes like.

I assume the coffee is always freezing because they’re serving it out of catering pitchers. Maybe you all could invest in a commercial glass carafe brewer?

My last comment is on the atmosphere. There is no music or radio. It’s like the folks sitting down are being quiet because they don’t want to break the silence. Adding a little hum of music would do wonders for the place.

Sorry if this comes off harsh.. honestly if it were anywhere else it would be a 1 star review but, like I said - everyone is really sweet it just needs improvements. I’m still driving to Raleigh for my Saturday...

Good thing to have in downtown Zebulon. The restaurant is pretty and well decorated and designed. We’ve been there twice for breakfast. The first time they didn’t have meat or eggs, so we just got drinks. The second time they had bacon and eggs so we got breakfast bagels, but were underwhelmed. For the price of 2 breakfast bagels I could have made 12 at home and they would have tasted exactly the same. It’s a cute place, the wait staff is very personable and helpful, and they have a decent variety of items. I support local businesses when I can, but can’t help but compare breakfast sandwiches and drinks from home or McDonald’s with lower price and dependable tastes...
