the espresso drinks are consistently good, the baristas are pleasant, pastries are great, atmosphere is cozy , and there's hidden quiet spots . I make a point to stop here whenever I'm in the Triangle !

Nice cafe in downtown Carrboro. Lots of seating inside and out. Use the free TOCwireless wifi to do your work.

Was your beverage wrapped in a GoTriangle sleeve? That's because Open Eye is one local coffee shop helping us to spread the word about GoLive, the Triangle 's real-time transit prediction system. Read more

Great place to work . Energetic atmosphere with good coffee and cold brew on tap

Jafar

Free internet and casually-unkept but eclectic atmosphere (usually really good music ). If you get the right barista the espresso is decent. Lots of space and tables, but often packed with students.

Yummy vegan options - especially for those with nut and milk allergies

Charline Woods

Delicious coffee but god awful service. Every time I'm there, the baristas act like the customers are an inconvenience. I've never seen a smile from one of them.

The Chai Latte is amazing! Chai + 2 shots of espresso . Mmm.

Dustin Burleson

Watch out. If they get busy they will have employees walk around and ask you to leave if you're done with the beverage you ordered. Not the best customer service practice...

Reminds me of Brooklyn and I therefore love it! Almond scone is tasty.

Cortland Mercer

Definitely a favorite place to work or hang. Comfortable . Carrboro.
