The Lucky Tree Café & Makers Market first opened in 2015, but it wasn't always that way. Amanda and Ashley, twin sisters, have dreamed of starting a business together since they were children. Lucky T…
Coffee is great - though it's hard to distinguish a coffee shop on brew alone since Raleigh does have a glut of great coffee shops, they still manage it especially with some of their signature coffees like the Bullet.
Excellent baked good. Their savory baked goods are worth shouting for - again something that sets them apart from some of the other coffee shops in the area. Almost every place will have great muffins and pastries, and Lucky Tree does too but they also have great savory options. The breakfast biscuit bites are particularly amazing - hearty, savory, filling and a great deal too. Worth waiting for (they run out frequently and quickly and have to be made fresh.)
The atmosphere is also pretty excellent. Walls covered with art by local artists and products from local meaderies and makers (available for purchase).

Amazing lattes. Freshly made when I walked in! Honey is so pronounced in the Honey Latte, the Coco-Mocha-Nut is coconutty and gives mocha. Great portion sizes for the regular. Love everything about this cafe and will be back!

I love this cafe so much! The staff rocks, the food is delicious, and they always bring a huge smile to my face, whether I'm ordering online or visiting in person. You guys are amazing! Shout out to whoever made my latte this morning, it's delicious and the little note made my morning :)

I'm not sure if I was given the wrong drink the first time, but I got the Honey Latte previously and it was sweet, a little floral. Amazing and perfect. I got another one because of how much I loved it, and it's bitter. I taste honey, I taste espresso. I assume I was given someone else's order last time.

The hot chocolate was watery and had no flavor, would definitely not order again. The muffin was super pretty but extremely dry.
