we put baklava in your latte and we’d do it again 🍯🍵

pistachio, brown sugar, and a pistachio crumble on top because why would we ever do the bare minimum.

the Baklava Latte is here and it’s giving dessert for breakfast — and we are fully supporting that lifestyle.

come get into it. 📍42 & Lawrence, Raleigh

soft days call for soft drinks ☁️💜

the Lavender Cloud — lightly sweet vanilla cold brew, topped with a house-made lavender cold foam that just melts right in.

it’s the kind of drink you order and then stare at for a moment before you take a sip. you’ll understand when you try it.

slow down. float a little. ✨📍42 & Lawrence, Raleigh

some drinks just hit different when the light is right 🌸

our Strawberry Milk Tea — fragrant jasmine tea, creamy milk, and house-made strawberry purée — is the kind of thing you sip slowly and savor.

soft. sweet. a little dreamy. just like it should be. ✨

light. breezy. a little dreamy. ☁️🍵

the Matcha Coconut Cloud is not your average matcha. we’re talking coconut water, lightly sweetened with our house-made simple syrup, and topped with a matcha cold foam that just floats.

it’s the drink you want when it’s warm outside and you need something that feels like a deep breath.

come float with us. 📍42 & Lawrence, Raleigh

we’re feeling a little ~blue~ today 🐱💙

meet our Blue Matcha — made with butterfly pea flower and honestly the most photogenic thing we’ve ever served. our little blue kitty agrees and she has great taste.

no bad vibes allowed in this bowl. only good ones. 😤✨

come in and treat yourself to something that’s almost too pretty to drink. almost. 📍42 & Lawrence, Raleigh

Perfect timing — Animazement 2026 is happening May 22–24 right at the Raleigh Convention Center , which is steps from downtown. Here’s the updated caption:

we just leveled up the drink menu and you’re going to want to hear this 🍶✨

introducing sake, hanjan soju, and our Sakemosas — think mimosas, but make it sake. flavored, fizzy, and way more interesting than your usual brunch order.

and if you’re in Raleigh for Animazement this weekend (May 22–24) — you already know where to find us before, after, and honestly during. 🎌

42 & Lawrence just got a little more fun. come find out what you’ve been missing. 📍Downtown Raleigh

The Animazement tie-in is a great move — the convention draws over 12,000 attendees  right in your backyard. The sake menu is also a natural fit for the Japanese culture theme of the event. Want me to write a dedicated Animazement welcome post too?

the blueberry matcha is having its moment and we are here for it 🫐🍵
house-made blueberry syrup meets our matcha and honestly? they were made for each other.
it’s earthy, it’s fruity, it’s the prettiest thing on the counter — and it tastes even better than it looks.
come see for yourself. 📍42 & Lawrence, Raleigh
