The owner Mike and all employees are kind and friendly. I get the mocha (with peppermint, when the syrup is available) and it's divine. I love their commitment to organic, eco-friendly coffee and products--most if not all of their coffee is Fair Trade and shade-grown in addition to being organic, and I'm pretty sure their cups are compostable. They've also got a program where you can pay for a cup of coffee, and a token gets added to a jar next to the register. Anyone who finds themselves needed a warm cup of coffee but lacking the means to pay can come in and use a token from the jar. Such a great program that shows how much they value and support our community.

I come here pretty much 5 days a week. Dirty Matcha (3 espresso), almond milk, iced…read more Today I sent my crew member to order exactly this and they gave her a regular matcha with 3 espresso on the side. I went back to ask for it to be remade, since this is not what I wanted and I haven't touched any of the product, which usually would be no problem, especially since the young man at the counter was very new. The first answer I got was "we don't do that here", which is not true, then the somewhat curtly brown haired white girl said "well I can just pour it in there for you! It will be the same thing!" Laughing and rolling her eyes. Which I prompted that I really would rather have it remade, since it will affect the flavor and it was not what I had ordered. She continued to try to go back and forth with me about remaking my drink trying to make it seem like it's a problem and telling me "the way you came in was a lot" even though I asked multiple times, very nicely and tried to make clear, that my problem right now is about the attitude my complaint was handled with because I understand that mistakes can happen. I also understand that it shouldn't be a problem to make it right at the end without making fun and rolling eyes. My remade drink was still wrong and it was obvious that it was purposely this time, since I told her my order again, she repeated it and still proceeded to use a LG cup instead of a regular, but continued using regular cup measurements+ 1 espresso shot (which is also not what would come in there regularly). Even after I mentioned, again, that it was supposed to be 3 espresso shots( she charged me for another 2 shots,which is fine, I'm not here to get anything for free, I really just wanted my one drink made right) she handed me a regular matcha, 3 espresso in a large cup, filled up with milk to the top. Again, this is not what I ordered. But I had to go to my own job so I had no time to go through this again. Side note: a large drink would usually come with 4 shots. I don't even work at this place and am aware of this. However, some of these "baristas" need some serious training when it comes to customer service. Sad, because I actually really like this place and the girl and guy that usually are there in the morning are awesome.

This is def a hidden gem! I'm a supporter of Joe Van Gogh and have been to most of the locations…read moreand when I found that this one was in my neighborhood, I was psyched! This location is connected to a medical office/building and has plenty of free parking. There's a few tables and chairs for outside seating and a more open concept for indoor seating including bar stools. This is a great location for quiet remote work. I've yet to see much socializing at this location but others definitely have that vibe. I love how they have various seasonal offerings each month. The syrups are homemade and not overly sweet. And they offer several nondairy options including macadamia milk. Service is always friendly and prompt. Definitely a part of my regular rotation.

I ordered the chicken biscuit and wow, it was phenomenal! Would have added the hot honey but was afraid of making a mess. My partner had the breakfast mugwich which he thoroughly enjoyed. Iced coffee and Chai rounded out our meal. Would definitely stop here again!

I came here after a long day's job in Fuquay-Varina and was looking for a light pick-me-up. The girls at the counter were happy to recommend a drink for me and make it in my tumbler. I got a piece of lemon bread and reflected on the day's work. It is a great place to unwind after a long day. I had a long drive ahead of me after my visit, so I'm glad I stopped in. I'll keep this little shop in mind for when I'm in town again.

I'm loving Third Place Coffee shop because every city girl needs a third place to sip, chill, and…read moremind her business... So if you are looking for a cute and quirky neighborhood coffee shop and more, this post is for you. 3rd Place definitely has a steady stream of regulars which adds to its charm. You immediately feel at home here. They have ample seating inside and outside, a wide range of coffee and food options (like The Salmonwich), and cute knick knacks to purchase. This visit I grabbed " The Basic Witch" aka Pumpkin Spice Cortado because it's Fall, Halloween is right around the corner, and I am a sucker for a seasonal menu. The only downside is the parking situation in the AM before 9am (morning traffic on Glenwwod). I parked one street over and it was less than a 2 minute walk. After 9am, there is ample street parking in front of the shop. Pro tip: If you are just doing a grab and go, they have a couple of spaces that they share with Lily's Pizza (15 minute limit). Also, they take orders over the phone too.

The barista was super kind and helped with giving us recommendations. I ordered a caramel latte and cinnamon sugar donut. The latte unfortunately tasted super watered down, like either the bean quality was not great or the espresso extraction wasn't great.

Overall it was a bit of a miss and there are other coffee shops in Raleigh that are knocking it out of the park.
