Perennial at 403 West Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

The atmosphere is nice, and the seating arrangements are very attractive (you mostly sit up a flight of stairs in a loft that is very relaxing and aesthetic) but the coffee there is a bit more expensive than other places. A single espresso is just over three dollars, and the cappuccino is 4 something, which is above the prices of some other local drink shops. If you have a little bit of extra cash lying around it's an excellent spot to cuddle up and hide from the world, but I wouldn't recommend it as a daily morning stop due to the prices.

The setting on any day is beautiful! Weather rain or shine the high windows and high ceilings give a very natural effect that I adore. It may sometimes be a bit full so watch out for any open spaces but beware of the courtesy rule to order before you sit down!

The staff are friendly and even on a bad day will make some of the best coffee I’ve had! Their unique combinations of herbs will make your day-honestly I could spend a whole day trying each different one. From turmeric to mint to multiple other freshly ground herbs that make for a refreshing array of health-kick-y flavors this cafe is by far one of favorite places for a relaxing or even work-filled day. When I find the other cafes around town too busy-bodied the atmosphere of Perennial soothes that anxiety and is just a wonderfully quaint two-story shop!
