Small but mighty, this coffee shop is a cozy little caffeine cave wrapped in warm wood tones and sleek modern flair. The booths are spotless, comfy, and practically beg you to linger--at least until the crowd rolls in. When it's quiet, it's charming. When it's busy, it's loud. Think espresso machines competing with over enthusiastic kids and a room that amplifies every giggle, shuffle, and snack-time negotiation. Intimate in size, big on personality, and absolutely buzzing when the tiny humans take over--come for the coffee, stay for the chaos (or bring noise-canceling headphones). The staff here are the kind of friendly that feels genuine, not rehearsed--always attentive, always moving, They whip up a solid cortado with confidence, but where they really shine is the cappuccino: velvety, balanced, and clearly made by people who care about the details. The breakfast sandwiches are freshly made, warm, and reliably good--nothing fancy or overthought, just simple, satisfying fuel done right. The prices have a bit of main-character energy--slightly higher than you expect, confidently so, your wallet may raise an eyebrow, but the coffee shrugs and says, worth it. Cheers! read more

I stopped in here for lunch and I'm glad I did! You wouldn't even think this is a restaurant, there isn't much signage, but I guess that's the point is to make this area feel less commercial. I got a turkey sandwich and it was definitely flavorful! And the drip coffee has free refills, can't beat that! read more

Super cute cute coffee spot in riverwood neighborhood. Service is great, place was busy and booming on Saturday morning with eat in, take out and door dashers. Lots of coffee drinks to choose from as well as smoothies. They have breakfast pastries bagels and muffins to choose from. Prices are relative. read more

Great little cafe. I recommend the turkey harvest sandwich. It is delicious and a lot of food. Homemade chips were crispy and flavorful. Staff were helpful and friendly. Comfortable decor and seating. read more

Visited this cafe' for breakfast. It is cute with a modern vibe to it. I was craving a bagel, so I got the Bacon/egg/cheese bagel and added double bacon and cream cheese. It was an option to add, from their online ordering system. I was so excited for this bagel but it did not meet my expectations. The bagels are not fresh, kind of taste store bought and they are pretty small. My egg was cooked hard and the "extra bacon" was one strip for $1.50. I had to add cream cheese to my bagel after paying that as an extra also ($1.50) because I could barely see it on my bagel. All in all, paying $10.41 for that was DEFINITELY not worth it. This place is probably just great for their coffees, latte, and frappes. read more

This is one of my new favorite spots! I have driven out of my way for it a few times now. Some weekends I just have to have one of their amazing bagel/croissant breakfast sandwiches and a tasty iced latte. They close kind of early on the weekends, so keep that in mind. Looks like they are working on expanding, but they currently have a nice cozy space and some outdoor seating. read more

The coffee was fantastic. The food is your typical coffeehouse food--very light. I do not recommend to go if you're starving like we were because a little sandwich will not satisfy you. I got the cinnamon pastry which was delicious. And they made a really good dirty chai. The ambiance was very chic, service was pleasant too. read more

Listen, this caramel frappe was amazing. I noticed a small amount of vanilla bean in it. The croissant was super buttery and the staff were prompt and friendly. I'll definitely come back for another stab at something different! I thought it was good that they offered Sweet Cream Cold Foam options as well! This will be a favorite from now on. read more

Awesome place! Great staff and cool location! Near the school so great morning pick me up!

I went with my husband at this coffee shop and the food was amazing! The scenery was beautiful with a small european village. We went for breakfast and then went for a walk around the small trail that they have. My husband and I loved the food selections. The coffee was delicious. Overall, the food tasted fresh. The staff was also super friendly and open to answer all of our questions. We will definitely visit this coffee house in the future. read more

I love the BLT with an extra side of bacon. I've had DoorDash deliveries but would definitely recommend.

Ordered 4 different lattes, breakfast bagel, and chocolate chip muffin. Delicious, great service, and convenient location in Riverwood! Store was clean. Will be returning read more

In Clayton for a ballgame and found this cute coffee shop about 5 miles from the fields. Ordered two blueberry muffins, one red velvet donut and two Americano coffees. We paid a little over $17 not including a tip. The service was awesome. Ordered one coffee with lots of creamer and they checked with me to make sure it was the right color. It was perfect. The only downside was I probably asked for too much cream because after that my coffee was lukewarm. I probably could have asked for them to warm it up but didn't want to bother them since the cream was my request. All the food was delicious. This is a casual establishment. They offer both inside and outside seating. I will definitely be back if when we are in the area agsin. read more

Friendly staff that provided great service and great coffee, You have to try their donuts, the glazed was amazing

Great service. Try the avocado toast with a drink. Breakfast served at lunch. Great spot to relax.

I've been to 9Bar several times and the staff is always friendly. The coffeehouse is clean, spacious, and a nice location to enjoy a coffee and work. Their food options are good, specifically their pumpkin loaf and donuts. I would recommend this spot. read more

They food was fresh and clean. The service was nice and everyone was accommodating. Ambiance is calming. The manager or the owner- came and checked on our needs as well. Only thing I would recommend is that the floors be swept regularly after other customers. Maybe the day was short staffed? Food was on floor so we had to find a decent place where food and trash wasn't. Underneath where we sat in to dine. read more

Excellent good food and friendly and accommodating folks! I will definitely return to this nice place!

Cute coffee bar with great coffee from Counter Culture beans and fresh sandwiches and pastries. Staff was friendly. They make their croissants daily, so flaky. Favorite coffee bar in the area. read more

9BAR Coffeehouse - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Clayton, North Carolina

My husband and I visited here for the first time today. Very underwhelming. He ordered a dirty chai tea latte. This means it has two shots of expresso. He said it was bland. It also took a long time considering he was the only one ordering coffee. I am caffeine free so I do not drink coffee. I also cannot not have flavored teas so I chose the chardonnay. It is September 7th and the chardonnay was not chilled. I had to settle for the red. The barista was completely unaware of the types of wine, there are five choices. My glass of wine was was $10.68 which is a complete rip off for four ounces of mediocre wine. I pay less in Raleigh or Cary. I give two stars because most folks come in for the breakfast sandwiches and the wifi is really nice. Unfortunately, I will not be back. read more

I have visited and I have ordered food for delivery from this place and it was consistently good quality. I felt comfortable in their cute little shop and will visit again. Service was great too! read more

We live in Flowers Plantation and somehow just discovered this place, which is fairly close by. The area it's in is really cute. We went for a short walk with our coffees afterward, which added some charm to our trip. However, I have to be honest - our overall coffee experience was not great. This was a Saturday morning, and it wasn't busy, so everything moved fast and smoothly, but unfortunately, the baristas were pretty rude. Since we hadn't been there before, they seemed put off when we asked questions. And, when we did receive our iced coffees, they were just okay. It's a convenient location to where we live, and the area is nice, but I wouldn't say it's the best coffee spot around read more

Cozy little coffee shop! Turkey sandwich was delicious, coffee is great, people are friendly and there is plenty of parking. Plus, they have Frappes! Probably my new favorite coffee shop - we'll definitely be back read more

Food is great! I love the many selections of coffees! Service is always spot on. Nice neighborhood coffee bar!!!

Stopped in for a quick snack and to do some work between appointments. I will say the level of customer service/friendliness can use some improvement. I realize this is located within a community and most patrons are neighbors. I watched the interactions as customers came in. A smile and a simple hello from the person working the counters does wonders. Definitely won't stop in when I'm in the area. The woman making the food was friendly when she delivered my items. read more

Very good they serve your food / drinks in under 3 min and the workers are very nice and welcoming

Small, cozy coffee shop with great tasting quality coffee! Service was excellent. Definitely recommend going here.

I've gone to 9bar many times to get their coffee and sandwiches. I docked a star because their coffee is not very good.... I kept trying to adjust the sweetness level but it either taste like I'm drinking sugar or it's as if they didn't put any sweetener at all. Their coffee is grainy and kind of bitter. Not my favorite. HOWEVER their sandwiches and muffins are amazing! Super delicious, warm, and filling. I come here not for the coffee, but for their food. The wait is a little long, but their sandwiches are very very good. Highly recommend their food. read more

This place is okay. I ordered a caramel macchiato and it was okay. Too much milk and not enough espresso and caramel. I also got a breakfast sandwich and considering the size of this place and how busy it wasn't. It came out warm. The eggs and cheese were definitely premade and sitting until ordered. read more

We are in the area for a wedding and found this gem on Yelp. Thank you Yelp (as always lol) and thank you 9Bar Coffeehouse!! It was amazing!

Will definitely be back if we are in the area again! read more

They serve good food and delicious coffee drinks. A fast and yummy wake up in Clayton.

I dont Normally eat breakfast, but it was my birthday and I'd been up early so I stopped for breakfast with the littles after dropping my oldest off at school. I ordered a small cold brew for me. They had 2 halloween eclairs left so I grabbed those for the littles. I really wanted a ham and cheese breakfast croissant but they only had ham for lunch and the lady was very willing to make a lunch sandwich for me so that was great! The lunch sandwich also comes with chips and a pickle, but I decided to save that for later. Everything was delicious! And the price was right about average compared to other coffee shops. The establishment is located in the Riverwood housing development near the little shops and takeout restaurants. My kids dr office is right across the street so that was perfect! Currently they have removed the tables and chairs inside but patrons are welcome to dine outside at their garden tables by the sidewalk. Tip: They have a rewards program so you can put your phone number in to start collecting. Give this place a try if your in the area! read more

cute little place to walk to especially if you work at the schools or substitute for the day and are feeling coffee tea or breakfast. It's a southern white town so you'll definitely be looked at like you don't belong there if you're of color but if you work near by it's nice to stop at read more

Coffee always fresh and reasonably priced; service is excellent- bonus to the neighborhood

I was in town visiting my brother when I stopped by this place in the morning to grab a coffee. It is in the perfect location if you are a part of the community there. The coffee is good and I frequented this shop almost every morning for the week that I was visiting. Staff seemed to be training some people as they were a little slow at certain times. Overall, a nice place to go! read more
