Rachel has been coming here since she was a junior in high school. It's the best coffee shop in the area, hands down.
Another cute coffee shop right next to a movie theater in Downtown Cary!
Also in Downtown Cary, Esteamed Coffee is a 501(c)(3) non-profit coffee shop and cafe that employs individuals with various disabilities. Definitely check it out if you're able!
This cute bar comes highly recommended from Rachel's gym friends.
Luke and Rachel once went on a virtual date here! Rachel ordered her cocktail of choice while Luke called her from a coffee shop/wine bar in Texas. Also, this place has moonshine.
Home to the BEST English and Irish beers.
Rachel's favorite spot as a kid, they have the best frozen custard around. They have multiple locations, so if you're looking for a cold treat to get you through August in NC, this is the place to go!
Great spot if you're looking for an ice cream place that also has some dairy-free options.
Full of great walking trails and playgrounds! If you're a water sport person, pedal boats, kayaks, canoes, row boats, and sunfish sailboats are available to rent. Fun fact: Luke proposed on a bench behind the park's ampitheater!
