Cup A Joe - Raleigh

Amazing coffee- I haven't found a better brew in Raleigh yet. They have a million styles of beans to try from around the world. The place is kinda grungy, and sometimes the staff are pushy, but that's the vibe. The coffee is definitely worth looking past that.

I get coffee here all the time and I absolutely love their coffee!However:There is an older gentleman that works at the Avent ferry location with short grey hair and glasses . Don’t bother asking him a question, he will give you a blunt, rude reply. I tried asking if they sold beanies (obviously with their logo) and he replied “NO WHY WOULD WE?” And just walked away before I could even reply. I assumed because they sold shirts and mugs it would be a possibility that they sold beanies. Guess I was wrong… just looking to support a local business

Great coffee shop. Relaxed and unpretentious. It's a great spot for studying and socializing.Above was my review of this place from 4 years ago in which I was a fan. Fast forward to 2022 and it’s a bit different. My gripe is not with the coffee, it’s still great. My issue is with the level of Covid paranoia that is just over the top. Cannot exit out the same door, no inside seating, only going past a certain point for bathroom only. It went from coffee shop to what is essentially an order window then hurried back outside. It’s just not as good of a customer experience anymore and it’s sad to see such a low key place become so high strung.

Great Coffee and atmosphere. The only problem is the store seems to be closed due to staffing issues.

It's always been a nostalgic place for me. Growing up here with friends Cup A Joe has always been good place to socialize over hot cup o joe.I'm happy to see both locations thriving. Always a good choice.
