Cup A Joe

Notice the cool GoLive poster in the window? That's because Cup A Joe is one of the local coffee shops helping us to spread the word about GoLive, the Triangle's real-time transit prediction system. Read more

Drip coffee is what any coffee shop is judged by, and this place has the best coffee in Raleigh period. Consistency is key, and although other places have awesome coffee , this place is consistent.

A social hub for authentic coffee . Grunge is the theme. High quality taste is the rule.

Good, large place to sit and study. If you sit outside, almost everyone is willing to chat with you. Amazing coffee , and the place sends out good vibes.

Copa has subtle delicious flavor that isn't too sweet or "artificial" tasting. perfect w a cran/orange scone !!

Second time here, I think I'm in love 😍😍

Lovely place to bike to from NCSU. Decent coffee , good seating, good pastries .

Best place to hang out, read, drink coffee , and people watch !

Get an iced king mocha-torani caramel (milky way )! The Torani syrup mixes better than the Hershey's!

Hang with Elvis and grab a double shot. Great staff . Super friendly .

Totally just bought two cups of latte for the next two ppl that come in.. Do the reserve coffee thing.. It's a great idea..

Get a hot chai with whipped cream . It's the best thing I've ever tasted.

Get the Coffee card. You pay for 10 and the 11th is free when the card is full!

Sit outside and experience the real side of Raleigh while you caffeinate!

It will wink at you approvingly when you walk in.

Coconut in anything is always good. Luckily Cup A Joe has it past the summer season, unlike other places

Great people watching and great cup of espresso .

Chai milkshakes rock!

Tall Latte . Hong Kong tea (super sweet)

Haven't been here in forever! Love this place though! *

Good place for coffee , lunch and wi-fi.

On Sundays you can clip coupons out of the newspaper recycle bin!

not pretentious or snobby! Great people watching !

King iced mocha then get some beans to go. The owners roast their own beans.

The staff looks like the spaceship crew of a sci-fi TV show. It's awesome.

Coffee is so/so, but definitely the best coffee shop atmosphere and wifi .

Gotta get their chai tea with skim milk on ice*my fav*

You may not be able to smoke anymore, but don't worry, you will still leave reeking of smoke

If coffee 's not your thing, try an iced green tea with a shot of fruit flavor.

Still the best espresso in town - without the expensive 'better then thou' attitude of some other local places.

fab spot to people watch and drink the best java..hands down...check out my art on the wall too!!

Good alternative diet selection

Iced Mocha is delicious, but careful with how many shots of expresso are in them.

the coffee shop for design students and creative types

Chai fusion

Everything.

Best chocolate chip cookies in town

Exceptional service and great coffee !

Try the chai flavored whip cream !!

Make sure you buy something..!

Try the coffee or something.

Great vegan dishes , esp. the portabello . + loved their spiced chai . Read more

Get a brownie ! Would be better with vanilla ice cream though... Mmm

Great hangout!

pumpkin white voltaire

The Voltaire is a lovely winter drink!

Chai shake is a hidden gem of a treat for a warm day

Sit near the outlets, they're not many.
