Reviews for Lanza’s Cafe in Carrboro, NC
Great ambiance. Music was just right. People were not loud. Good use of space. Coffee was good. Service was very friendly.
Moved to Carrboro recently and found this spot with my sister. It?s a great little coffee shop with a perfect atmosphere to get... things done or hangout by yourself or in a group. I don?t drink coffee really, but the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte that I triedfrom the specials menu was fantastic! They also have amazing pastries, especially the pumpkin spice and coffee cake muffins. Thenew management here is refreshingly nice and truly seem to care about what they?re doing! All around great experience Read more
After a late afternoon yoga session, stopping by for reading while enjoying a Cortado, draft kombucha and vegan coconut ball was... a great way to end the work week. Read more
My son does not follow people home and does not ask to buy him things. He's a friendly guy that's all. The owners control who... people talk to. How do they know who he talks to and what he talks about. If customer doesn't want to have a conversation theyshould just say so and owners should mind their own business. Not true what one of the owners say. Drinks are good. Pastriesare good. Why single out one person? Read more
Love this place! Went recently for a Jazz night that was awesome. Great friendly atmosphere. Nice selection of food and drink.... Fun stack of board games. Definitely a great place to hang out. Parking is sorta behind, and the bathrooms are through ahallway, so it has a bit of a learning curve (maybe more signage could help), but overall an awesome awesome place. Read more
Very cute, nice, and clean place to have coffee and hangout. In the reviews, someone was complaining about being there 2 times... in one week and not getting attention in 20 min. Just wanna say it is been more than 20 times I go this place and got friendlyattention by staff in < 2 min (unless there is a line to be wait a little more). So, highly recommend. ???? Read more
Met one of the owners Catherine and she was great! She took some time to sit down with me and explain the history of their... restaurant. The cappuccino I had was delicious. Great space for coffee in the morning and to sit down to work on thecomputer. They even serve beer and wine! Read more
Lanzas is the best coffeeshop in the durham-chapel hill area. I drive 30 minutes everyday to come do work here. To understand... why just look at the facade. A cardinal on an Italian flag. Harmony between the ancient ways of coffee - of the motherlandItalia is welded with southern flair and hospitality. Only in Carrboro could you find such a well crafted combination of theextravagant with the simple. Lanzas is socialism working. Lanzas is Bernie sanders authoritarian. Lanzas is democracy manifest.Lanzas is. The warm coziness is perfect and not replicated anywhere else. They have lame food/pasteries and serve counterculture coffee which is okay. BUT they have a ton of different kinds of mugs which I love and they Make great drinks. ALSO theyhave an absolutely amazing patio. It has such good list, great tables and is adequately shielded from the elements. Heck yesthis place is AWESOME. Through some sickening mad science they have imbedded chess boards in the table. this seems illegal tome - though im no Lawyer (yet). Tons of board games - ancient games. The bathroom is a nice escape. East to park. Read more
