The best coffee shop in NC? I think so.
Better than a chain? That's a given. I've been a regular at Global Village since the day they opened, and I haven't found a better coffee shop *anywhere*. Not in Raleigh, not in any city I've travelled to.Serious Coffee in a warm, friendly environment...
When I travel, I really miss Global Village. How lucky we are to have such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a delicious cappucino (nicely paired with the *perfect* cheese danish) right here in downtown Raleigh!!BEST COFFEEHOUSE IN RALEIGH...
Though I've moved to Japan, Global Village is probably the only thing I miss more than my family and friends. Ever since the day Caribou Coffee was replaced by Mike's delectable organic coffee I've chillaxed there more than any other spot during my university years.Great Atmosphere and Great Coffee ... arguably the best in the area.
A really nice hang out place ... with fantastic coffee. Mike & his crew ensure the best quality of service with great tasting coffees. I get my gal here all the time and she loves it as well. There are a coupla board games around .... free internet, nice sofas. I strongly recommend it.Great places...but a few downfalls
Fantastic chai (and from what I hear their coffee is pretty good). The atmosphere is great for studying. Typically the music is entertaining and the live music on the weekends is great. Global Village went WiFi recently, but they don't have any outlets for customers! If you are planning on coming for studying with the laptop--charge up the battery and stay focused, then fight for the only outlet in the place when it becomes dire. Wish the place was open later especially since it is near NCSU and Meredith. One of the best coffee places in town. Maybe if we badger the owner enough he'll put in some extension cords and power/surge strips for all us laptop users.friendliest staff, great teas and great concept!
I do wish the hours were longer, and there were more outlets for laptops; but everything else at Global Village makes up for this. Mike and his staff are really friendly, and helpful (Mike somehow remembers everyone's name!). The paninis are great, and they have an amazing selection of teas (besides coffees). It's my favorite place in town to study.great community coffee shop
The location is great for NC State students. I have had lattes, apple ciders, mochas, and italian sodas and enjoyed each one. The panini are also tasty. The atmosphere is eclectic and comfortable. The best is the fact that when the seats fill up (as they inevitably do), there is always someone willing to let you camp at their table. The glassware used in-house cuts down on waste. Students, professors, and suits all frequent this gem.I have never had a better coffee
Ever since Global Village opened in the late 1990's, I have rated coffee houses on a scale of 0 to Global Village. I have had coffees all over the world and never seen better coffee. Mike, I don't know what you do... but keep it up!What I always imagine when I think of Coffee Shop
Whenever, I think of the perfect coffee shop, I think of a place like global village. The atmosphere seems lively yet relaxed. The staff has always been friendly and efficient. The coffee is really fantastic and is as good if not better than places like starbucks! Global village definitely has a large selection of coffees, teas, and food, though I usually just pick up a hot coffee or latte. There's a fairly generous amount of seating with cozy nooks and such. Don't miss out on this one!Best coffees and ambience in NC! Period.
Not just the best in RALEIGH...the BEST East of Asheville! Visiting Global Village in the early morning on Saturdays has become a family 'tradition' with us. The ambience is relaxing, and somehow, Mike ALWAYS remembers our names (AND our drink preferences.) What to order is no problem, we just say "Surprise me!!" and wait for the treat!! I have NEVER been dissappointed. EVER. Well worth the extra 5 minute walk/ride/drive to get there!Worldwide > United States > Raleigh, NC > Cafes, Coffee, and Coffee Houses
