The Morning Times

This place is a hidden gem!! A couple things to note: - The food tasted wonderful, came out fast, and was very affordable !!- The coffee and chai is phenomenal! One of the best Chai's i've ever had

Will say to order it's very cramped but overall food didn't disappoint. Love that the biscuit was crunchy & jelly was good. Eggs & bacon were decent. Small portion size for me tho but overall a solid 8/10 with food. And atmosphere pretty chill. Probably bring my dates here or some. But overall good no cap

Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. We were in town on a 4th grade field trip looking for a pick me up. You could tell the place was incredible by the line out the door at 10am. We stuck with the breakfast sandwich and an iced latte. Both were simply yet delicious. That buttery sour dough on the sandwich... insanely good. The coffee was simple but not insanely sweet and I love that. The line was long but went so quick and they greeted each person with a smile!Will return on our next raleigh adventure.

y'all i'm in love with this place. I ordered an iced americano with an extra shot and syrup because I was in need of some caffeine. My drink was perfect!!! it came out shortly after I ordered. My breakfast plate took a little bit longer but I ordered eggs (scrambled with cheese), bacon, and a biscuit with jam. I wasn't the biggest fan of the jam but I loved everything else. My experience was amazing. Despite the long line, the customer service was consistent and friendly. I didn't have time to eat there, but there was tons of seating upstairs and outside. It was very cozy and I could definitely imagine going there to finish up work or just read.

Great place in the heart of Downtown Raleigh to grab breakfast, lunch, a caffeinated beverage and either explore Downtown, get some work done, read, or catch-up with friends!Morning Times is located in the heart of Downtown Raleigh on Hargett Street, right near Marbles. There is street parking as well as many decks and pay-lots within a short walking distance. Please keep in mind that since this is downtown, there will probably be parking restrictions as well as a cost to park depending on the day and space you choose. A couple friend's and I met here one morning to grab breakfast, catch-up, and read/journal. We planned to be downtown so I parked in a lot that had full day parking and walked a bit which was fine. When you enter the building, you can order your drink or food. This place is small, but I love that about it because it's quaint and has a lot of character. The menu has a variety of breakfast and lunch options, as well as some desserts and drink options. They even have some adult beverages if that's something you are interested in. This was my first visit so I wasn't sure what to get, but the staff was great, helpful, and extremely patient. I ended up ordering Morning Sandwich on Bagel Everything Bagel with Turkey Sausage. It was DELICIOUS! The bagels are made fresh on site daily. It was filling and was a great price, especially for the quality and size of the bagel. Then I headed up the stairs to meet my friends who I was hanging out for the day. Up the stairs there's a sitting area with quite a few tables and arm chairs. It's great to catch up with friends, work with headphones on for the day, read, or just have a relaxing/chill place to go. After we ate, read for a bit, and got caught up, my friends and I walked around downtown and visited some of the museums. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return.

Highly recommend their chai tea latte because they make it in house and serves in a pretty cup but what makes this exceptional is that it's not over-sweet. I wish this place had pour over but they have a drip light roast with hints of melon that I really liked. The spicy chicken biscuit sandwich is a must. Seriously I'm not exaggerating it's the best breakfast biscuit I've ever had with tangy pickles and jam. Everything was $17 including a scone with my sister. Now I would knock a star off for wifi since it's spotty but since the ambiance was so nice upstairs they are getting a 5 from me! Highly recommend it

My partner and I tried the Morning Times and we really enjoyed ourselves. We both ordered the sweet chicken biscuit and we both said we would get that again. I got an iced vanilla latte and my boyfriend got an iced caramel mocha latte. My drink was exceptional and so good but my boyfriend's was not the best we've had in Raleigh. The service was really friendly and we received our items fast. Overall this place is well worth a visit!

Super friendly staff. I ordered a coffee and had the cashier surprise me. It was an iced oat milk something incredible. The chicken on the biscuit was delicious. The ranchero egg dish was also very tasty and full of flavor. Place is well kept and if all the outdoor seating is taken, they have upstairs seating. Very close to the Marriot where we stayed. I'll be back for sure.

PROS:- Excellent everything bagel. The dough has a dense and solid quality to it. Strong showing by the bagel.- Can substitute milk (i.e. oat or almond)- There is a self-service water cup area, and they don't charge extra- Prices were reasonable- It is easy to walk to from anywhere downtown- Lots of spaces to sit and work with outlets- Larger tables available for small groups- Diverse audience- Cozy, go-to coffee spot vibesCONS:- Parking can be a bit tough to findOTHER THOUGHTS:- The cream cheese and sandwich were pretty straightforward. If they added a little pizazz to both offerings, it would take them to the next level!OVERALL: - Recommend trying!

Never a bad experience. Simple stuff done well by really patient staff. Lots of seating outside and upstairs. Beyond reasonable prices for the quality. Very good coffee too. Beautiful funky old space that's cool without trying too hard. Never feel rushed when I drink coffee and read.
