Let’s face it—coffee makes everything better, especially if you’re trying to fuel your morning (or afternoon…or evening…). Ready to go beyond Starbucks? The City of Oaks is home to plenty of talented baristas, and we’ve got everything you need to know about the Triangle’s best coffee shops.
Common Grounds Coffee House
You’ll find Common Grounds Coffee House nestled on Apex’s North Salem Street, and it’s turned into a go-to for locals searching for some top-notch brews. This cozy joint offers everything from cappuccinos to ice cream, making it the perfect place to hang out. If you visit on the weekend, you can even check out live performances from local musicians!
Benelux
Did you know that Raleigh is home to the world’s largest coffee bean sculpture? Head to Benelux in Cameron Village to see it for yourself—and while you’re there, be sure to try some of their caffeinated delights. Locals are partial to the Canal Cruiser blend, and it’s roasted right here in Raleigh.
Sir Walter Coffee
Sir Walter Raleigh has turned into an icon for the City of Oaks, and now he has his own coffee shop! If you’re on the hunt for a good cup of joe, Sir Walter Coffee should be at the top of your list. This downtown staple features everything from Joe Van Gogh beans to craft beer, making it a one-stop shop for any kind of beverage.
Videri Chocolate Factory
Okay, we get it—Videri Chocolate Factory might seem different from the other spots on our list. But this place features so much more than just coffee, which makes it worth a visit. Videri’s signature blend of Stumptown beans also goes great with their handcrafted chocolate. You can even tour their factory and get a free sample!
Crema Coffee Roaster and Bakery
There’s something magical about Crema Coffee’s one-of-a-kind roasts. Take a drive to Cary to see what we mean—they have something to satisfy every palette. In fact, it’s one of the few places in the area where you’ll find both coffee and bubble tea. While you’re there, be sure to try their custom cakes or baked delights. They’re both beautiful and delicious!
