This coffee shop is so cute and conveniently located at the intersection of Glenwood and Hillsborough. I opted for a tropical refresher. It tasted concentrate based, but it was light and not too sweet. I also got a ham and cheese croissant, it's a good size but make sure to ask to get it warmed up! Super friendly servi

Dirty chai latte with lavender
Jamie M.

This is a cute coffee shop located in downtown--conveniently near a yoga class I went to. They have done seating inside and outside--if it were warmer, this would have been a great place to read on the patio with a cup of coffee. Lots of options and sweet staff. They hire professionals with disabilities, which I really appreciate and like to support. My dirty chai with lavender was delicious and a great start to the day.

Carrot cake latte
Sydney H.

I came here on a Sunday afternoon and ordered a carrot cake latte! The cashier was very nice and I only waited a few minutes for my drink. Although my latte tasted fine, it tasted just like a regular vanilla latte :/ However, i do love that they had a few seasonal drinks and will definitely come back to try some other drinks. There are a few seats inside and lots of options for outdoor seating.

Buy bags of coffee to take home!

Great location! Great coffee! Amazing service! This is a small, very cute coffee shop in downtown Raleigh. Not only does the cafe employee individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities, it also sells snacks from other businesses that support individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. Check out this great local coffee shop!

Friendly staff

Quaint, classy, and spotless! The coffee was perfect to kick off the day. The staff was super friendly, friendly enough to snap a photo. This place is a gem.

Love the mission of this establishment! It has a cute ambience and would be a nice place to work while having coffee.

Iced Dirty Chai & Iced Latte
Alyssa C.

My cousin and I went. The drinks look the same but the left is an iced dirty chai latte and the right is an iced latte, both have brown sugar & white mocha syrup. Both drinks were great! The place is small but the wall of windows (pictured) provide beautiful natural lighting. There's also a few tables for outdoor seating. Our cashier was very sweet, 321 makes a point to hire people with down syndrome. It's great to see a shop that shows their values in their day to day operations.

Cockroach
Scott P.

Came in for a cup of coffee before a meeting at WeWork. Went to take a seat and a cockroach was just hanging out. Decided to turn around and walk out.

Tasty peppermint white mocha & double caramel steamer!

Needed a pick me up after riding my bike in the early morning on the Neuse River Trail. I stopped…read morein and grabbed one of their seasonal iced coffees as well as a cinnamon roll. The staff member offered to warm the roll for me but I said no as I foolishly thought I was going to make it all the way home before devouring this fresh baked good. Don't be as foolish as me - if they offer, get it warmed up. (It was still amazing at room temp but I bet it would have been even better warm.) Anyway, I did not make it far before I cracked open the cinnamon roll and ate it while sitting at a stoplight in my car. Truly, such a good sugary baked good. Just wow. I feel like this spot is considered a hidden gem, so I hope you will see this and give them a try!

we stopped by for an iced coffee, an iced latte, and a ham and cheese croissant. the croissant…read moredidn't make it into my photo, but my boyfriend really enjoyed it and said it was delicious. the drinks, on the other hand, were just okay. nothing was necessarily wrong with them, but they didn't stand out enough to make me want to come back specifically for the coffee. what i did love was the atmosphere. despite having a steady stream of customers, the cafe stayed calm and relaxed. it's located in a quiet neighborhood, has outdoor seating, and just has an overall pleasant vibe. the woman who took our order was also genuinely friendly, which made the visit even nicer. i really liked the area and the feel of the cafe. i just don't think i'd return for the drinks alone.
