One of my favorite meeting spots with friends. This is an overlooked cafe on the Hillsborough strip due to it being tucked away underneath Mitch's tavern, but its coffee and atmosphere is amazing. The staff here is extremely friendly and seems to truly care about your order. They bake fresh goods every morning, which is an awesome treat before class or work. They also provide flavorful sandwiches for a quick lunch. My favorite aspect is the cozy nature of the dark wood detailing, booth seating, and warm tones. This is an exceptional place during the winter when you need an escape from the cold.
My drink was delicious I had a dirty chai with Irish cream and apple syrup It was the perfect level of sweetness and flavor or I did not have to add anything to it It could just drink it straight out the cup. I also had a chicken bacon ranch wrap that they toasted there and it was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it. I will definitely be back.
Global Village is my favorite place on campus to get coffee and get some work done! The drinks are always great, and they always seem to have some sort of cute event going on. The staff is always super friendly too!
Excellent coffee close to NCSU campus and plenty of other quality businesses on Hillsborough. Service is always friendly and helpful. The coffee itself is my favorite, at least on Hillsborough (and that's saying a lot with Cup A Joe and Jubala nearby) — you can always taste multiple flavor notes from their espresso drinks, it's never just sugar, milk, or (god forbid) a burnt coffee taste that dominates the drink.
The atmosphere is brilliant! The staff are so kind and people of all ages and careers come through to use the space for work or study. The only complaint I have is that sometimes it's too busy to find a spot with an outlet, which are limited to only a few wall spots with short extenders. You'll be fine, though, as long as you don't have a laptop that dies in under an hour like mine :(
I thought the actual coffee here was kinda mid. Didn’t have any special flavors, but I will say I’m not a fan of beans from the place they source their’s (I totally forgot what country it was) so your mileage will vary. Great vibes, not a super big coffee shop so you may have trouble getting a table to do work at.
The delicious pesto prosciutto panini continues to hit the spot after all these years. Still my favorite coffee shop since I was a student at NC State. Coffee and tea are great, and they often have seasonal specials, sometimes with flavors recommended by regulars. The baristas are always friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy and chill, with usually some buzz going on.
I love the coffee taste and the overall vibe! The only thing I wish was different was that there is a big issue with flies, especially in the bathrooms and the internet isn’t very strong but other than that, it’s a great place to unwind and read a book, study, have a chat, or even sit on your phone!
Great place, great vibe. Perfect atmosphere to grab a bite or drink and get your work done. Loved the frozen mocha shake and chocolate croissant. The Panini was great too.
Great coffee and pastries. Friendly service. Pretty chill spot on a Saturday morning to enjoy some breakfast or get some work done.
The best iced Americano in town! Love every drink I have gotten here both tea and coffee. They also offer light fare which is great and the staff is so friendly and welcoming! This local business deserves your support!
