Lucky Tree - Raleigh

Nice ambience, ample parking, tasty Chai latte, and decent muffin.

This coffee shop is without a doubt one of my favorites! The honey latte is amazing and today I treated myself to a very berry muffin and I am so happy I did! I will definitely be ordering that again!

This charming little coffee shop also offers a selection of items from independent artists. Their kitchen is gluten-free for their baked goods, and they have a wide variety to choose from. I tried the biscuits, which were four small biscuits filled with herbs and topped with cheese. I also sampled the almond butter cookie. I ordered the freshly squeezed orange juice, which was more like an orange-ade than juice. It was still delicious, but I was expecting more juice. I would definitely go back again.

In the past, Luck the Tree was my go-to spot for vegan pastries and great coffee. However, my friend and I experienced harassment from another regular patron, Mozen, and when we reported it to the management/owners, they did not address the issue. Additionally, several employees expressed concerns about similar incidents (or worse) and no action was taken. Furthermore, the owner, who is a white man with dreadlocks, has been criticized for being inauthentic and culturally appropriative. I recommend avoiding this establishment due to their failure to address important issues and questionable practices.

I instantly fell in love when I walked in! The artwork, furniture, and decorations made my inner hippie happy. There are plenty of seats and other companies that share the same free parking space. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the products. Each baked good I tried was delicious: chocolate muffins, strawberry matcha muffins, and an oatmeal-cookie sandwich with cashew cream. They are made fresh and delicious daily. The majority (if not all) of their baked goods are vegan. They offer three types of vegetable milk to choose from. In addition to serving beer and wine, they also sell other items such as berry mead, artwork, natural skin care products, clothing, and jewelry. There's plenty to browse while enjoying your coffee. The prices are reasonable and not overpriced like many other coffee shops. I had a gourmet coffee drink with milk (at no extra charge) and two muffins for under $13.
