Crema's Take

“The Newsagent's is equal parts exceptional coffee shop and vintage media wonderland, where you can nurse a carefully pulled espresso while digging through curated vinyl, comics, and old paperbacks without feeling rushed. The space itself—housed in a beautiful downtown building with excellent music and cozy reading nooks—makes lingering irresistible, and the staff clearly cares about both their coffee and their oddball inventory. If you want specialty drinks and stellar espresso but hate the typical coffee shop aesthetic, this place hits different.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

My new favorite place in downtown! Great selection if old timey snacks, coffee, espresso, and specialty sodas. Very cozy vibes and a well curated selection of media - books, records, comics, VHS, CD, DVD/ Blu-ray etc. I highly recommend visiting to buy, sip, and stay. This will…

Overall, great experience and will be back. The building is beautiful, great music, great book, comic and record selections at decent prices. Staff were friendly. The one complaint I have is the coffee we ordered was really bad, very sour and bitter, no amount of sugar or cream…

Absolutely wonderful reading room in the heart of downtown Raleigh. There is a cafe and plenty of space. I love it here I will be back! Located next to City of Raleigh Museum another Raleigh gem 💎

Went to check out the new place and was blown away by every inch of it. Amazing staff, amazing collection of items to spend hours looking at. Bought some really cool stuff and can not wait to see what else they can bring in. Absolutely check out this fantastic place!!
