"Cute cafe with a lovely ambience and great coffee. I really enjoyed my cappuccino here, but the WiFi wasn't actually working despite showing 'connected', which was a bit of a bummer since I was hoping to get some work done. I love Full Bloom Coffee Roasters in Garner and was glad to learn they own this place as well. It is nice to have them in Raleigh too."

"Extremely delicious ham and cheese croissant! And the vibes are excellent. If you miss the Global Village Coffeehouse aesthetic from the 1990s and 2000s, this is the place for you! Think lots of earthy colors, sculptures, paintings, and music like Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, Sixpence None the Richer, and the Goo Goo Dolls for that aesthetic. The place was busy, but the guy behind the counter still found a few minutes to have a conversation and seemed genuinely interested that I drove 90 minutes to be there. It was worth it!"

"I had an awesome cup of the house blend coffee. It was delicious and piping hot just how I love it. The service was great and the atmosphere is so chill and welcoming. I definitely will go back."

"Their campfire mocha is the best mocha I ever had! So creamy and nutty. They have small bite options as well. It has a nice ambient interiors good for sitting and working."

"Excellent coffee close to NCSU campus and plenty of other quality businesses on Hillsborough. Service is always friendly and helpful. The coffee itself is my favorite, at least on Hillsborough (and that's saying a lot with Cup A Joe and Jubala nearby) — you can always taste multiple flavor notes from their espresso drinks, it's never just sugar, milk, or (god forbid) a burnt coffee taste that dominates the drink. The atmosphere is brilliant! The staff are so kind and people of all ages and careers come through to use the space for work or study. UPDATE: I had previously posted this review with the only complaint being that the outlets for people using laptops were quite limited. Since that review, new outlets and extension cords have been added. The whole place got a makeover as well, and the decorations are much more in agreement with the theme of a Global Village. I love this shop, have been a regular since 2022, and it's only gotten better since then!"
