Ok, so my rating would be more along the lines of 2.5 stars but I bumped it up to 3 stars because of their cool Gold Peak Tea dispenser.
I only went to Cafe Carolina because if you join their email club, they send you a free sandwich coupon for your birthday and who doesn't like a free sandwich? Staff was friendly and sandwich was ready right after I finished getting my drink, so that's a plus. I got the Carolina Turkey Breast and it was meh. I would've enjoyed a sandwich made at home more but I had hopes for their cracked wheat sunflower bread. The bread light and airy but would have been better toasted and the turkey quality reminded me of slimy, deli meat.
There was a decent amount of people in there for a Saturday with minimal misbehaved children running around and it reminded me of a Panera (I believe CC has free Wi Fi). But it they don't have a lot of comfy seats and I'm a girl that likes to keep my tush happy and it didn't seem as inviting as my beloved Panera. All that being said, after seeing their cupcake and pastry display, I would be willing to check it out again.
