The Third Place Coffee Shop

15 years ago I would come to this coffee shop to study, hang, catch some live acoustic music and of course... enjoy some coffee. Years later, the atmosphere and ambience are still as warm and comfortable as I remember. Coffee and food choices for a light lunch were excellent. The folks behind the counter were as personable and friendly as they had been years prior. Whenever we are in Raleigh a stop here is a must for us! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This place is what starbucks can only pretend to be. They have The BEST BAGELS! (Muffins not so much) super cozy and homey

This is such a great local spot. Absolutely love the butterscotch latte. It’s not cheap...but neither is Starbucks. The baristas are very helpful and friendly too.

This use to be my favorite coffee shop and for many years. They have become more of a fifth place because they have weird summer hours and different operational hours. If you are still fan and know the story behind the name, you will understand this review. When I was in college I knew the original owners, Tye was always super friendly and amazing when we went there. I have been still a pretty loyal customer since, but the ambiance seems to be changing more....not sure if it is the shop itself or the community? I love the third place, and hope it will be around for many more years to come!!!
