What we're sipping: Coffee with pastries at Café Lavande

South Fayetteville has a new coffee shop and bakery for your next slow morning.

😌 The vibe: Café Lavande is in an unassuming box of a cinderblock building away from the busiest parts of the city where you can hear yourself think. It made for a lovely no-rush weekend visit with a fairly minimalist interior and trees outside.

☕️ What to try: Don't skip a baked good. The chocolate babka ($3.50), a sweet bread, satisfied the sweet tooth without being sugar overload.

I paired it with a standard latte ($4.25) and was happy to hang in this café.

📍 Stop by: 7:30am-3pm Wednesday through Friday and 8am-3pm Saturday and Sunday at 659 E. Huntsville Road in Fayetteville
