This is my first visit to NC&T. It's a really lively place even when there aren't many customers around--employees were roasting beans, attending to the store shelves.
My (small) mocha was awesome and at $2.94 definitely can't be beat by Starbucks on price or quality.
I love this coffee shop's environment. The staff is extremely friendly and clearly take pride in their product and employer. Immediately after I ordered, a line started forming--confirmation of my excellent choice. I will be back!
