Cafe Carolina And Bakery- Weston Pkwy, Cary

Steven Zanella and Ron Hines didn't just want to start a cafe. They wanted to create a neighborhood gathering spot where friends might share a laugh over a muffin still warm from the oven. Cafe Carolina and Bakery creates ample opportunities for this kind of connection at all four of its locations. The bakery keeps the air suffused with the aromas of fresh bread and cookies, inviting guests to linger over their morning coffee with a chocolate croissant or one of the cafe’s signature blue-swirled cupcakes. Meeting friends for lunch at Cafe Carolina can spare you the cruel choice between the hawaiian BBQ pork flatbread or the grilled chipotle chicken panini; just order both and share. The kitchen also hand-tosses salads to order and ladles hearty soups into edible sourdough bread bowls. Cafe Carolina’s sense of community extends beyond its walls, too. The restaurant donates food and supports local charities.
