The SWC Grilled Cheese was very yummy with the apple butter. I also got the Witching Hour Latte (Cardamom, maple, ginger) and a Churro Latte. This place has the best vibes and happiest customers + staff. Unique menu items too read more

Walking by just thought to stop by, the dark roast coffee with some breakfast tacos...was my order. Coffee was amazing, I'm a Starbucks die-hard for drip coffee, but Sir Walter's dark roast was certainly a step up from my favorite. Breakfast tacos...really just mid. Nothing spectacular, really you're getting egg tacos with a bacon garnish...and sour cream. Service is excellent, helpful and friendly. This spot doubles as a bar, so the spot is bar friendly...with a few booths and lots of high top tables. I'll 7 out of 10 ****Flight Attendant approved**** read more

If you need a coffee in the middle of the night and want to play some games, add this place to your list. They also have a bar, if you'd like to order a cocktail. The coffee was decent. The mug was basic and the presentation of the drink was unimpressive. read more

Matteo & Katie were awesome! They were super personable and I genuinely enjoyed having a conversation with them. Easy to talk to, and made great drinks. We will totally be back if in the area!! read more

My husband and I were visiting from Seattle and we were looking for a cool coffee shop in the downtown area before our flight. We stumbled upon this place since it was highly rated. I got the Banana Nut Bread latte and it was yummy! They do have housemade syrups, but they also have bottled ones. The space is pretty cool. There were a few folks working and studying, but it's a little too loud for my taste. Not a big deal if you just want to hang out! read more

I was staying at a hotel nearby and wanted something other than Starbucks so I decided to check this place out. It was like half cafe, half bar with indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered a dirty chai latte and a blueberry bagel with cream cheese. The dirty chai latte came out quickly and the blueberry bagel took a bit to come out of the kitchen. The dirty chai was okay. I did like that there was cinnamon on top. The cream cheese for the blueberry bagel was whipped and bagel was nice and toasted. read more

One of my favorite coffee spots in the area. The drinks are always delicious. I love how creative the seasonal drinks are!

I was on a trip to Raleigh in January 2024. My friend and I were in the downtown area. A quick Yelp search and I found Sir Walter Coffee. Pictures on Yelp looked fun; vibe seemed cool. Sir Walter Coffee is known for their "Coffee, Craft, Comfort". Okay - that sounded pretty fun & cool. My friend and I only ordered coffee there as we were headed to a Zumba event afterwards. I had wanted one of their special coffees but they ran out. The cashier helped me select another coffee drink that was similar and voila. Vibe was cool. My friend and I both liked our respective coffee drinks. Good place to chill for a little bit. We were there on a Sunday afternoon - and it was pretty packed. ENJOY! read more

Coffee: 7/10 - I ordered the banana pudding cold brew & it tasted nothing like a banana. Maybe more syrup but I did taste like a caramel macchiato which never disappoints. Effort for the Banana Pudding Milkshake :10/10 My sister had the breakfast sandwich which she enjoyed. I didn't grab food but I enjoyed the atmosphere. I thought it was cool to have a charging station at each table. Future work space perhaps! Oh, this is a perfect date spot as it caters to everyone. read more

Came in for breakfast before a conference I was attending. I didn't see where the register was at first, so I tried to order from the bar - it's off to the left when you enter at the end of the bar. I decided to get a chai latte and breakfast burrito without adding meat. Chai latte tasted a bit watered down and not that flavorful. Breakfast burrito was a good size and was topped with crema with sides of guac and salsa. The inside of the burrito had a weird texture, and looking inside I noticed they use chopped up hard boiled eggs - never seen that before and not really a fan. It should be scrambled egg. The dipping sauces were ok, just kind of bland. read more

As a first time customer traveling to Raleigh from Va. Beach, the customer service was sub-par at best. Employees were not helpful and when I asked for regular white sugar packets for my coffee (which was served cold) I didn't not receive an answer and finally another employee walked up and told me no. I do NOT understand how a coffee/cocktail bar gets so wrapped up in trends that it forgets the basics ingredients. Although I could accept the no regular sugar, what I can not accept is the poor atmosphere and attitudes of the employees. I do not recommend. read more

First I'll start with the good stuff, coffee is really good and baristas are very sweet. However, I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was a super greasy bun (also not the onion brioche advertised) I pulled off most of the bread and ate the egg and cheese with sausage and it was ok but not any better than say a breakfast sandwich you'd get at an airport:/ disappointing but coffee is good and I bought a bag of beans but at $21! Pretty pricey and not much info on the actual bag. I'm sure I could look up their info online but it's nice to have some info on the bag. read more

We were staying at a nearby hotel and wanted to come here for coffee. It was packed and very minimal seating indoors (it was too cold to sit outside). The staff wasn't the friendliest. The Vietnamese coffee is insanely good! The NY bagel was good but I wasn't sure about the cream cheese. It was a little loose for me. read more

I was surprised by the size of this coffee place. Modern and clean. The ladies behind the counter were very friendly. I had a latte and my wife had a hot chocolate. They were delicious!! Like The Terminator said: "I'll be back" read more

Saw this coffee spot from our walk to breakfast and circled back for a cup. I ordered a seasonal latte. It was decent. The wait was a bit long; there's only one cashier at the time we went, although there was plenty of staff. The woman in front of me had a big and complicated order and soon there was a line behind me. Cute interior, but we just grabbed our cup to go. read more

Way over priced for food items vs amount of food Coffee tasted old Got my order to go and when i got back to hotel my burrito had very little meat in it Won't eat there again read more

I don't understand the high ratings for this place! My coffee (from the seasonal menu) was strangely confusing to the guy who took my order and instead of asking for help I think he just tried to hand me an iced tea and call it a day. After all the rigamarole it was disappointingly blah. My lox bagel sandwich arrived quickly but I'd guess the bagel was microwaved instead of toasted -- it got overwhelmingly chewy and I couldn't even attempt the second half. Three stars because I want to love a locally owned coffee spot but oof. read more

Great location. Cute decor. Very similar to Starbucks vibe. I ordered an iced imperial with sugar free vanilla and almond milk. Hubby ordered a nitro cold brew. I really didn't care for mine. It had a funny tasting sweetness to it. Hubby liked his. They also sell alcohol and I'm intrigued about some of theirs. I'd like to try one of them if I come again. Maybe even some of their food. I wouldn't order any coffee. read more

Visiting my daughter at NC State and she wanted to try this place. I'm not a big drinker but she and my wife are. Very quaint place. Warm and welcoming. Many different coffees and lattes to choose from. Ordering is easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Relaxed atmosphere to hang with friends and drink coffee. Quiet enough for conversations. They also have a light breakfast and lunch menu. Wife got a regular latte. Daughter got a French toast latte. Apparently, both were delicious. Both were served in a real oversized coffee cup with foam art on top. Smells wonderful in here. 2 lattes and 1 jalapeño/cheddar scone was $15. Daughter and wife are happy. What more could a guy want? read more

Super sweet barista/bartenders here! Had the Walter Six and the Lox Bagel! The food was fresh and fast!

Great coffee spot in downtown with some food options and alcohol, I love coming here on a weekend. If you're looking for a coffee cocktail, whether spiked or not, this is the place to go. There's indoor and outdoor seating and it always seems busy, lots of people working/studying and just hanging out. City vibe! I've never had a bad cup of coffee here. They also have seasonal menu for coffee drinks, and of course don't miss out happy hour at the bar. Food is nothing special but honestly that's not where you'd expect to have anything wow food wise. I tried a waffle and breakfast burrito and it was good. read more

A coffee shop with a real downtown vibe. MENU AND STAFF Sir Walter has a good menu with a few hot and cold coffee options to choose from. It also has quite a few drinks from the bar menu. I ordered a hot oat milk latte, and it was great. Baristas a friendly with a great attitude. LOCATION AND PARKING The coffee shop is easy to find, but street parking is a bit limited, so plan ahead.

Service was sooooo slow. We waited over 20 minutes for 2 coffees and a baked good. They ask for a tip when you pay BEFORE service. Wish I could take it back. Won't be going to downtown location again. Also not many people there or waiting. Staff was chatting and not concerned about getting orders out. read more

We stocked by and we were like : "Hey would you like a coffee???" and here we are drinking these delicious coffees : Iced Baba Yada (Espresso, Rosemary Brown Sugar Syrup) and the Pumpkin King Cold Brew The baristas at Sir Walter are not baristas but artists because of there creations. What talent ! Original rythm with Sir Walter. read more

Went for an early morning coffee and breakfast with my husband. We ordered: 1 - large drip coffee 2 - Sir Walter Iced Coffee 3 - Avo toast 4 - breakfast burrito The coffees were perfect, good smell, and very mellow taste. If I come back, I am ordering the iced coffee - it was really good. The perfect amount of sweet and caffeine. The avocado toast looked good, good mash on the avo. The breakfast burrito was good, eggs were a tad over cooked but who cares when you have cheddar cheese, right? Really nice spot downtown, baristas are friendly. Lots of seating and clean bathrooms. Small gig on over cooked eggs - but it happens! read more

I came here and tried a flower child latte (summer special) with almond milk, and it was so good! They had many latte flavors to choose from, and I was a bit frazzled from a chaotic day so I just had the baristas recommend me a flavor. They were all very nice and quick to make my drink. It was $8.40 for a 16oz iced special latte with almond milk... kinda expensive to me, but it was still great. I just won't be able to become a regular lol! read more

I came to Sir Walter Coffey on November 1, 2023. It was my first time as a customer. I had a really good experience getting out of the cold it was very warm inside and the ambiance was cozy.

I will have to return to Sir Walter Coffee in the future. Cheers! read more

Ordered a $6 12oz iced coffee. Was instead handed a kids sippy cup filled halfway. wasn't sure it was even my order until the barista confirmed. she seemed to see no issue when I showed her the 4oz of coffee in my kids cup. the bar is pretty good but I'd stay away from the coffee unless you enjoy getting completely ripped off. the coffee does taste good to be fair read more

Delicious light roast pour over but rude service behind the counter... . There's a clean restroom but you'll have to ask for the key. I do like the thickness of the toilet paper weird comment I know but I do appreciate that a lot! They also sell day old pastries for 25% off which is cool to see because some stores will just still sell day old and not even say anything. I like the transparency of this place but wish customer service was just a tad friendlier. read more

I really loved the pumpkin cold brew. I was in town enjoying my last weekend with my husband before his deployment. However, I'm also in a masters program and needed to take an exam. The cold brew was delicious but managed to keep me up after the long day I had. My husband bought some beans to bring back home, and I'm happy he did. I absolutely love the flavor profile and it pairs really well with all my syrups at home. read more

We really enjoyed the latte and avocado toast here, although it was on the pricey side. The service was good and quick.
