This is our favorite bakery. If you are someone who loves a good pastry, warm bread, and amazing iced coffee, this place is for you!
If you're looking for a great southern brunch, check out Scratch. There is also a location in Apex, so if you'd like to explore either downtown Apex or Cary, you have a few options!
Great Italian food, even greater portions!
Gonza was one of our first date spots. We hope that you'll see why if you go!
A North Carolina classic! Try the concrete!
The best beer hall in Raleigh, of which we're noted for the best!
Our favorite local brewery!
Raleigh's premier art museum. Indoor and outdoor sections filled with something for everyone!
We expect the North Carolina State Fair to be open around the time of our wedding. This is Maddie's absolute favorite part of her favorite time of year, and if you want to experience some real (crazy) North Carolina traditions, we recommend it!
If the weather permits, enjoy a beautiful Raleigh park with a greenway trail. Stop by Willow House Coffee and head to the park with drinks in hand!
A beautiful year-round arboretum!
