Reviews for The Third Place Coffee Shop in Raleigh, NC
If you want to drink coffee like a local, Third Place is your spot. It is a Raleigh icon and has excellent staff, a relaxed... vibe, and great coffee. Parking on Glenwood is precarious so just turn down the next street for parking! Read more
A wonderful way to start my day! It feels more like family at the Third Place and Josh makes the best egg/cheese bagel I've... ever had! Selection is good; muffins wonderful! Parking on Glenwood Ave is the only downside, especially on busy weekends. But worth it! Read more
I have never been to the third place coffee shop and I was excited to go. A lot of locals had written good reviews on it and... when I walked in it was a cozy environment. The service was OK, which doesn?t bother me really. After I asked for my vanillalatte with oat milk, they said the total would be $9.04. I hesitated for a second, and then paid. I have never paid nine dollarsfor a latte in a city before, even in NYC. I?m not quite sure why the high cost, but I won?t be coming back as that is notsustainable for me. Read more
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. Read more
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 :-) Read more
What is "The Third Place"? The third place is a not a physical location, it's not a venue. So what is it? The third place is a... feeling, a sense of community and togetherness. The Third Place Coffee Shop is the embodiment of what a third place is. Ifrequent many coffee shops that aren't anywhere close to what a third place should be. As I looked around almost everyone wasengaged in a conversation and enjoying the fellowship that this coffee house facilitates. I was one of only 2 weirdos sitting bythemselves on their computer. haha Their baked goods and other food items looked delicious! A special thanks to Nzinga whohelped me get a better understanding of what a third place really is! Side note: Their nitro cold brew is actually pretty good.(I don't generally like the nitro brew) Read more
True local coffee stop. This place is easily passed by, but it's worth turning around. The atmosphere is balanced with a... relaxing, yet energizing, vibe. Staff are super nice and great! I'll be back again for a study session or just to hang out,soon! Read more
Excellent coffee, looks like they use Larry's. Fresh bagels and muffins always delicious with jam on the side.
