Downtown Cary Park Cafe
321 S Academy St, Cary, NC
Crema's Take
“This welcoming neighborhood spot in Cary's park district shines for its dog-friendly vibe and thoughtfully designed space that invites you to linger for hours, whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for an afternoon. The staff can be genuinely warm and attentive, though experiences vary, and while their traditional drinks are solid, specialty items like matcha may not justify the price. It's especially lovely in the evenings when the excellent lighting transforms the surrounding park into a perfect backdrop for meeting friends or taking a stroll between sips.”

The staff was super sweet and friendly the minute I walked in (: My rating is 3.5 overall because the matcha was overpriced for being not very good quality.
One of the employees is the nicest cashier I have ever met!
The two girls at the counter were extremely rude, especially toward Asian customers 👎👎. Thumbs "up" if you noticed the same.
This place is so amazing. The architecture, design, time, thought and materials they used at this park is breathtaking. They also have apartments or condos that are beautiful. Definitely a must see. They have a splash pad, bridges and other cool areas to hang out at. Bring water so you can fill up your cups outside of the bathrooms. I wish I took more photos
You can take a walk around the park and the streets. It’s extremely well lighted place and looks great in the evenings. Easily you can spend 4-5 hours in the park. Extremely dog friendly and dedicated dog yard available for dogs to play. There’s a self pay market 317 available 9-6 Followed by a bar inside and brewery outside.
