Always hopping. You either have to come in early or prepare to wait. Today was 25 min so bring a book or sit outside to people watch .Btw, i highly recommend the tomato avocado toast. The minced garlic with the balsamic is a good combo. Topped it with hardboiled egg and its a great after workout grub.

Cute little cafe and bistro in downtown Apex! We got coffees and an avocado toast - the avocado toast is a crazy value, $10 for 2 slices of bread and a thick layer of smashed avocado. The shop is very cute and is a nice location to grab a bite or do some remote work.Only three stars because WOW theres some bad hygiene practices happening. We watched 2 employees walk in the back door and immediately come in behind the counter and start working - no hand washing at all. One of them used the point of sale, which was being used by other baristas who were also making drinks and food. The other employee was making lots of food items.Additionally, the employee making food only switched gloves once or twice between multiple orders and touched her face multiple times while preparing orders.It also seems like one of the hot coffee carafes is weirdly close to the floor. Its not ON the floor? But its on a lower level of a stainless steel table, meaning your coffee cup is about 3 inches off the ground (and the carafe spout is about 6 inches off the ground!) when it is being filled. It doesnt seem like a great practice.Even though the drinks are good and the food is a good value, poor hygiene practice is enough for me to not visit again.

This quaint little coffee shop lures me in every time I take a walk down Salem Street. The smell of yummy coffee and the friendly atmosphere is the perfect spot for any reason to get out of the house.

Their acai bowls are good! Id say theyre comparable to what I used to get in CA (where I used to live, there were acai bowl shops in almost every shopping center 🤣) .I am also a huge fan of goji berries and they happen to have that as a topping here. They also have a cute little gift shop inside with local crafts and gifts to browse through.No designated spots but parking has never been an issue for me!

I keep a running list of dirty chai lattes on my phone called “Chai Notes” in my quest to weed out the disappointing ones. I’m that person. Mission Market gets a (rare) 👍 👍 thumbs up for a very satisfying dirty chai (I got mine with almond milk).Service was friendly and efficient, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the portion size on their avocado toast was generous. I believe they emptied out a whole avocado for mine, and the juicy, sun-dried tomatoes were delicious with the balsamic and evoo drizzle. It was a bit messy to eat, but I was pleased with the quality, preparation and portion.

Always had a terrific experience when coming to Mission Market whether it was really early in the day or later than I intended after losing track of time when working from home.Mission Market is so pleasing to visit for many reasons besides the food, although I get an açaí bowl ever time I visit! They sell local good at a reasonable price, the location is very convenient and has great WiFi, and the staff is always a pleasure to chat with.Highly recommend anyone in Apex or from out of town to visit Mission Market!

Açaí bowls are delicious! Yum!

The lattes are wonderful and my husband loves the acai bowls. Its our special treat every week.

Great coffee and sandwiches. Nice to have a place near our house where we can eat outside with our dog. It’s in a great location; no dedicated parking lot that I know of but always plenty of nearby public parking.

LOVE this place. Friendly staff, great coffee, gorgeous space, and so many beautiful products that support good causes. I was so happy to see Causegear/Made By Free Women products!!ALSO, they didn’t have a cortado/Gibraltar on the menu, so I asked the barista about it and she was so sweet about making me one anyway. I walked her through the steps and she crushed it!! 🤤 so good!

A cozy place to have a coffee, tea, or smoothie and quick bite or shop for unique items you wont find elsewhere. Each of their products has a mission it supports! I definitely suggest stopping by and checking it out. I had the campfire acai bowl and it was SO GOOD! Ive also had a few of their baked goods and they are INCREDIBLE.

Ive been here twice and the service is so terrible. I didnt know it was possible to wait for such a long time for simple beverages. I placed an order for a smoothie with no one in line in front of me, and ten minutes later when I inquired about it they realized they left it sitting near the blender not yet mixed. Yet I was standing there in plain sight and the place wasnt very busy. The first time I went I had to wait a long time as well for a basic coffee drink (wanted a specialty beverage but at the time the espresso machine wasnt working).I dont think Ill be returning.

I am so happy theres a good spot for acai bowls in Apex! I love the concept of this shop, and the bowls are good. I also had a golden latte which tasted great. Theres plenty of seating inside, and some nice tables outside as well. Im grateful for this option in our beautiful downtown!

This place never disappoints. Regardless if it’s their coffee, small selection of baked goods from Stick Boy, açaí bowls, avocado toast, or their paninis - everything g is tasty! They always have a great selection of goods and a great place to find gifts!

Super yummy and GIANT portions

The açai bowls, paninis, and cool gifts are my go tos at Mission Market

Staff friendly. Food good but portions small. Slightly over priced but great location so I get it. Might want to clean the outside tables and chairs 😉

Love this place! Acai bowl is so yum!

Amazing place with a great atmosphere and my lunch was delicious. This will become my new favorite work and get coffee/yummy eats spot. Excited to have in downtown Apex and you can tell the folks there have a passion for what they are doing.

Great coffee and great atmosphere! Make sure to check out the letter board by the bathroom.

Cutest cafe EVER! I’m obsessed! Went in looking to get some work done, since getting it done at home doesn’t always work out in my favor. Loved the atmosphere & the hot chocolate! Can’t wait to go back & try other delicious items on their menu, especially the food! Thank you mission market for providing such an awesome space✨🤍

Amazing coffee, cool retail stuff, friendly service. 10/10 will buy again.

Absolutely love this coffee shop. They have good coffee with other items such as art and jewelry on sale from local artists. Definitely recommend this place.

Love the Bowls. Very friendly and service oriented employees, but PLEASE, it is time for the masks to go!.

In the past I had to go to Chapel Hill to get something this delicious and healthy. No more. Mission Market downtown Apex and has absolutely delicious smoothies and Açaí bowels. My favorite Açaí bowel is the “Go Tell a Friend”. I am a raw whole food vegan and when I’m craving a dessert this place really hits the spot. Very healthy too. The manager Jen Is a real gem.

Easily our favorite place to get a coffee, Acai Bowl, or a sandwich for lunch. We might be a little biased 😉

My family and I went to Mission Market and had great Acai bowls! Would definitely recommend.

Quite seriously one of the most PHENOMENAL experiences I’ve had at a cafe. The chicken pesto panini was outstanding along with my caramel macchiato. Now the atmosphere, such a beautiful place and the assistant manager/head barista (Aimee) was so kind and talked to my friends and I most of our visit even though they were insanely busy. Everyone working the counter was so friendly and we truly enjoyed our experience there. My friend is an aspiring coffee shop owner and once I heard about this place I had to take her there. Needless to say we were all extremely impressed and she’s even been back twice (without me) and brought her work friend there as well. Such a great place, I’ll most definitely be back and bringing more friends here! Y’all rock!

Super friendly, gorgeous display of crafts. Lovely atmosphere.

Very friendly staff, the food and drinks were very good. Got several acai bowls and a grilled panini. Shout out to the Beelieve bowl with honey and the bowl with peanut butter! Nice outdoor seating as well.

Tasty menu items, friendly staff, fun atmosphere, diverse clientele.

Their Acai bowl is the best 👍

Staff is always friendly the coffee is really good and acai bowls are really good.

Finally a place in downtown Apex to grab a healthy breakfast and delicious coffee! I had the avocado toast with egg and bacon which was exactly what was looking for. I love that my vanilla latte was served in a nice ceramic mug for me to enjoy while I sat in the cafe side of the shop. All the items sold support free trade missions, and give back in some way. They have unique gifts ranging from jewelry to skincare to childrens gifts to handbags to home decor. This is definitely I spot I will go back to, again and again. I cant wait until they add wine and beer to their cafe!

Cute coffee shop in downtown Apex. It’s a nice place to grab a coffee and chat with a friend. They also have a nice selection of acai bowls and some paninis.

This place is really cute, nice stuff for sale/ gift ideas.My latte was delicious....definitely will be back.

Just what we needed in Downtown Apex! Im so happy to have a comfortable, beautiful environment to enjoy a cup of delicious coffee and get some work done or meet up with friends. The avocado toast was perfect- cant wait to try the Acai bowls! The gift shop has so many beautiful items- and all of them give back in some way. I couldnt resist buying myself a gift today as well! Well done- thanks for bringing Downtown Apex another great store!

Popped in while shopping in downtown Apex and I am so glad I did! The vibe is very cool and the smoothies are out of this world. Cant wait to try more of their menu.

A healthy and delicious reward breakfast for our Sunday morning walks! Everything is so good. The coffee is fresh, thick and tasty paninis and avocado toasts, and the best açaí bowls in the Raleigh area! Service is great, friendly staff, everyone wearing masks and cleaning tables right after customers leave. If not already, you should add this place on Tripadvisor for added visibility ;)

The cinnamon rolls and paninis are really good. The icing on the rolls has cheese on it :)

My go to for breakfast. The açaí bowls are where it’s at! I feel full until lunch time. Also great culture and people. Friendly staff.

I am so excited about this great addition to downtown Apex! Great cup of coffee, healthy food options (açaí bowls!!) and very friendly service. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. Also, this place has a cool mission of selling fair trade products and supporting makers. Great place to grab a unique gift. I’ll be back again and again.

This is a great new coffee shop in downtown Apex! If you like avocado try give me all the bacon and eggs for a great avocado toast. My other favorites so far are the conquer the day smoothie and the bee-lieve bowl. I have been a few times and have enjoyed pretty much everything I tried.

The perfect addition to Downtown Apex! The coffee is really good, and the food options are amazing (delicious + healthy). And its the perfect place to pick up a great gift for someone. Beyond excited about Mission Market!!

Vibe is amazing, love the Acai bowls. Blender is a little loud. Parking is ample. Plenty of outlets. The products at the shop are cool, but being a guy are usually not me style. Definitely perfect for a gift though!

I would suggest this business get some street signage and advertisement out to the community. The reason for this suggestion is that this cafe is awesome and you should get all of Apex going here. The price and quality of coffee served at this business is far superior to other coffee shops in Apex!

Nice people working here. Acai bowl and basic avocado toast were delish! Been twice and will go back.

The cutest spot in downtown Apex. Service is great and acai bowls are simply the best.

A welcome addition to downtown Apex! This cafe is such a lovely space to spend time in, the food and drink options are very yummy and the gift selection is thoughtfully curated! Such a great spot!!

What an amazing new addition to downtown Apex!! I stopped by today on their first day open and was greeted with nothing but kindness, excitement and happy smiles!! Not only was the Vanilla Latte delightful, the avocado toast with bacon on top was so yummy as well! They also have a great assortment of gifts that all give back to different missions. Prices were very reasonable, service was outstanding, and the atmosphere is just what Apex needed. A great place to meet friends for coffee, speciality toast or a yummy açaí bowl and get great gifts too!!

So excited for a cute place to eat and get a cup of yummy coffee downtown apex! Everyone was so nice and the coffee is so yummy. I’ll be back very often for breakfast and lunch!

Such a great place to go and enjoy awesome coffee and great shopping! So nice to have a locally owned business that gives back! The latte was amazing!

What a perfect addition to downtown Apex. Just what we needed! Great coffee, meaningful gifts and healthy food options. I’m all about it! You will be glad you visited this spot!

Got the campfire bowl and it was super watery, way more than any smoothie bowl I’ve ever had. The base didn’t taste good with the marshmallow on top.

The BEST lattes and even better service!

Disappointed at the hard plastic provided for the acai bowls. Southern wake landfill is exploding with trash, it is not hard to see from 540. I am super excited about the menu and the market items, but if it is truly a mission market how about plant based plastic or compostible?

Nice place, they have coffee

Cool new place in Apex. Coffee great !!! Avocado toast choices all wonderful!!!

Cute place, friendly staff and good food.

Great space, good coffee. Blenders are too loud for having conversations.

Always great coffee and great atmosphere!

Incredible coffee. I’ll be back...often.

15 minutes to get a cup of coffee.

Understated and worth it

Wonderful new addition to Downtown Apex.

Amazing acai!
