Crossroads Chapel Hill

We were staying at the Carolina inn and had breakfast included with our stay. The restaurant is on the ground floor with plenty seating options, both indoors and outside. The first morning I had a hot chocolate and bagel with cream cheese and salmon. It was delicious. I didn't think they could top that. But the did.The next morning they had a whole breakfast buffet. The spread was delicious. The staff was sweet too, elevating the experience further.Their food is amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

The atmosphere was clean and modern. The food was delicious. The portions were on the smaller end but the food was great. There was nothing I tried that wasn't delicious. All the staff I interacted with were great and easy to work with.

Pancakes bigger than your face, hot cholesterol chocolatier than a bar of chocolate, brunch service better than your wildest dreams. Breakfast at crossroads is EPIC! You can either get alacarte on weekdays or go for their brunch buffet on Sunday for $40 a pop.I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and hot chocolate. I could not even though i wanted to finish the pancakes. They were light and fluffy, big and delicious yet crispy! Then the perfect hoy chocolate to sip on while watching the university game.Next morning we got the buffet! The spread was amazing. We spent 1.5 hr chilling and eating their. All their desserts are delicious, the live omelette station was very nice as well. Apart from that you get brunch specials such as fish, bacon and everything else.The vibes are that of a typical restaurant, very relaxed but somewhat upscale!

I came here for their Christmas in July afternoon tea. The concept is super fun! In the afternoon tea room they had Christmas decor, were playing Christmas music, and had a super fun (and inclusive) tea and treats menu. While our server was friendly she basically dropped everything off and never came back. They were unfortunately out of the tea I wanted and the suggestion of a great replacement was not actually a comparable replacement at all. The tea treats themselves were tasty, but nothing that blew me away. Especially for the price, I was expecting a bit more. There are quite a few afternoon tea spots in the Triangle and unfortunately I don't think I'd go back to this one.

My experience at Crossroads was okay, but not what I expected from an experience at the Carolina Inn. When my party arrived, no one at the hostess table really acknowledged us and he had to ask to be seated. Once we were seated, service was great! My food was also okay. The grits were superb! Probably some of the best I've had. I was not a huge fan of my omelet though. The sun dried tomatoes tasted a bit like raisins (very sweet). The restaurant was also very empty and quiet which felt odd. Overall, I am glad I tried Crossroads but probably will not return.

A friend and I reserved a table for afternoon tea this past Sunday and it was a lovely experience. They have a (small) separate room for afternoon tea-goers, so you're surrounded by the towers of pastries and tiny sandwiches. I can definitely understand why a reservation is needed, since there were only a few tables there. The teapots and teacups were so cute, I love that each person gets a unique design. I ordered the Carolina Inn Blueberry tea, which had the most stunning ruby color, fresh blueberry flavor, and some sweetness without any sugar cubes added.Our waiter was super kind and explained what each dessert was on the tower. Our favorite dessert was the layered cake which included layers of cream or mousse. I absolutely loved the scones, which came with lemon curd, clotted cream, and some sort of jam.I highly recommend reserving a table here and spending an afternoon chatting with friends.

The Crossroads Chapel Hill is the restaurant at the elegant and historic Carolina Inn. Sadly, the restaurant is neither, and disappoints on nearly all levels. Our family attended their Sunday brunch with our UNC senior daughter on just another Sunday. The ambiance is that of a mid-tier suites hotel free breakfast. The service was absent from start to finish: there were frequently no plates for the buffet; the serving utensils were caked with product (the single tongs for the co-plated smoked salmon, capers, onions, and hard-boiled eggs were so caked with egg that at least one guest served themselves with their fingers, rather than smear their salmon with unwanted eggs); the server brought coffee, but never returned to offer refills; and we had to ask the hostess to find our waitress for the check. Lastly the food was lackluster with dry pastries, tasteless sausage, and cold stacks of waffles. The custom omelets were just OK. Disappointing that the otherwise amazing Carolina Inn offers this as their restaurant

If you want to eat at crossroads for the nostalgia it's fine, but certainly not the food. The pork tasted like a marinated large hotdog. The salmon was ok but the accompanying beans and tomato purée were nothing.The food was uninspired, extremely expensive and certainly not worth the price.

Went for a family tea together, as we'd gone many years ago, and it was very nice. This time service was absent, the finger foods were minimal and lackluster, as were the sweets. There was 3 times as many sweets as finger sandwiches, all of it was subpar. The price does not even come close to justifying an afternoon tea. Don't bother booking a tea, unless you want to spend several hundred dollars for 3 trays and a pot of tea. I'm so disappointed in how far down this has slipped and would not recommend.

I will say that the ambiance and service was absolutely lovely. The mismatched chinaware was charming and the server was attentive. Unfortunately however, the food just didn't justify the price ($200+/3 people). Honestly, I could have made tastier finger sandwiches and desserts at home. It was okay but underwhelming.This is definitely a one and done deal for us. I was really disappointed. I used to take my daughter to tea shops back in San Diego for a small fraction of the price and the food was so much tastier.
