The Third Place Coffee Shop

Greg B

Must visit Raleigh shop with a wide selection of made from scratch meals, foods and beverages (many local and organic). Tasty, satisfying, nutritious, original and environmentally friendly are front and center at the Third Place. Comfy, groovy fixtures and sounds saturate the environment. Its walls are laden with wonderfully electric art by David Benson (ultimate man of many talents), the same guy who curates the iconic Giant Acorn that's dropped just before the start of every Raleigh new year. Warm, relaxing and inclusive - expect smiles, laughter, peace of mind, and extensive reading material availability during your visits. David, JJ, Elizabeth and all the other staff are very personable, attentive, hospitable, caring, lighthearted and deserve all alotted 5 stars for the very magnificent place the Third Place is!

First time visiting this little shop and so glad I did. Got a bacon egg and cheese croissant that was sized and delicious. They have bottled Tropicana which is my favorite oj. Very friendly local bunch in there. Note: best to go around the block to park on the backside in 2 hour street spots.

Cushy chairs, reliably good eats, and playful monthly drink specials make it an easy neighborhood spot where you’ll find locals hunkered down on laptops, catching up over smoothies, or simply savoring a warm muffin out on the patio. Add in eclectic art (yes, that’s a giant dino skeleton on the back wall) and vintage decor. Great staff, food, drinks, and other items for sale. Small parking lot a little past the store. Only open until noon.

The staff is SO friendly here. It was my first time and I spilled my coffee all over me and they quickly came over to clean and got me a new one no questions asked. The nitro iced coffee is SO good! They know what they’re doing here, we will be back :-)
