Bittersweet

Bittersweet is a chic cocktail, dessert and coffee lounge in Raleigh known for seasonal cocktails and house-baked desserts. Guests pair bourbon with pie, sparkling wine with cake and whiskey-laced coffees, with an emphasis on gin and espresso martinis made with freshly pulled espresso. The small, minimalist room gets busy in the evenings and does not take reservations, with a to-go window for drinks and desserts.
