Cup A Joe 3100 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, NC 27607

"I make a point to visit every independent coffee shop when I travel out of town/state and Cup A Joe has consistently remained my favorite. The service is incredibly efficient and kind and they have even memorized my order! Best espresso I’ve ever had as well. These people are the real deal and I’d choose them over any coffee shop any day."

"Hannah and the cupajoe team are awesome! They’re always friendly/helpful and they consistently have the best coffee. You don’t have to worry about who’s working and deal with different variations of the same drink. Day in day out you can count on cupajoe!"

"We almost always walk in the back door, a hundred times. Although the place looks gritty and earthy, it is clean. Once you open the door, the fresh ground coffee smoke, roasted at the premises, will soak you from head to toe. Daily specials are $1 cheaper than regular orders. Their drinks are more intense and cost less than Starbucks. The baristas are friendly and fast. Love this place, one of a kind."

"Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, extremely friendly roaster at the beginning of the store, I think her name is Hannah, she is an absolute delight and keeps the whole show running. The owner Dave is great also, and the staff doesn't keep anyone waiting long before people's drinks are ready. Overall wonderful place to get your coffee from, way better than Starbucks"

"Absolutely love this place! My friend's parents recommended it (she doesn't drink coffee) and I'm glad I took their advice! Awesome coffee, friendly employees (and customers!), and amazing breakfast food for a reasonable price, which is shocking to me. Everything around the twin cities, MN is at least twice the price for the exact same thing, if not for something similar but of lesser quality. The art on the walls is soooo cool and I was lucky enough to meet and buy a cute little print from one of the artists (shout out to uncle Craiggggg). The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, the Pac Man machine is frickin' sweet, and the bathroom is clean. 10/10 would recommend."
