42 & Lawrence

Friendly staff, delicious tea and coffee, and decent prices! Great location too. The inside was quiet and clean. My peach tea was the perfect sweetness and so flavorful!

This place was okay. It was near empty when I got there. I ordered the coffee flight with the espresso, nitro coffee brew and cortado; none were honestly that good, and both the hot and cold drinks were lukewarm/room temperature. Also, none of the drinks had much flavor or taste. My experience wasn't that good, unfortunately.

Great coffee shop downtown Raleigh and in a great location. Good amount of seating inside and some outdoor seating and lots of natural light coming in from the many windows to enjoy your drink and people watch. Overall a quiet place to get some work done or just hang out.They have a nice selection wines, coffees and teas here, so whatever you are in the mood for and the customer service is always very good.

We stopped in for some morning fuel. The location is clean and inviting. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We ordered one of the specials, the S'mores latte. It was delicious. The croissants were flaky and quite tasty. Overall I'd definitely recommend a stop in.

Had a hard time finding 42 and Lawrence but was pleasantly surprised once inside! Interior is modern and harsh looking with minimal seating, doesn't have the warm, cozy coffee shop vibe I usually seek which is why I docked one star. Also had free WiFi. Service was great, drinks were brought to our table and they even warmed up the cinnamon roll we ordered. Most importantly, the drinks and cinnamon roll were great! Americano was bold and flavorful. Seasonal autumn breeze latte had notes of gingerbread and cinnamon. The unexpected highlight was the cinnamon roll-- didn't look like a conventional cinnamon roll but tasted amazing heated up.

I overheard another customer after her order state this was the best Matcha she ever had. I never had a Matcha Latte but I had to give it a try after such a bold statement. Now I'm hooked. They are great!

A busy coffee shop in downtown Raleigh across from Moore Square. It took me about 30 minutes to take this picture of the counter since it was so busy. I ordered a hot mocha and it was creamy and sweet. I like the ambiance of the coffee shop, but beware, there is very little seating.

3.5I never pass up a chance to get a lavender latte so I got one iced. It was okay. There was a subtle hint of lavender and the rest tasted a lot more like milk than coffee. What I liked more was the ambiance. It's a relatively small space with a lot of people coming in and out but I stayed a little bit to work. There are tables and high tops and the Wi-Fi was pretty strong. They also had outlets where I was sitting so it was great to just get some work done while I was waiting for a conference to start.

42&lawrence has the best cold brew in town. Me and my husband of the coffee shops in town. This is the only cold brew that he liked. Definitely recommend.

Nice coffee shop right next to the park. There was a vegan festival going on at the time so we could grab. Coffee and walk through. Coffee was on the acidic side.
