Krankies
211 3rd St E, Winston-Salem, NC
Crema's Take
“This downtown Winston-Salem roastery and café inhabits a beautifully converted tobacco warehouse with genuine industrial character, where both serious coffee enthusiasts and casual weekend brunchers feel equally at home. They've built a loyal following for their espresso-focused approach and pour-over precision, paired with a solid breakfast and pastry program that keeps the place buzzing without feeling chaotic. It's the kind of place where you can linger for hours with a laptop or catch up with friends over carefully crafted drinks in a space that actually feels like something real is happening.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late.

Went here with a couple of friends after a morning run and this hit the spot! Definitely a popular breakfast/brunch space but it wasn’t overly crowded and we were able to get a table to sit and eat at. We shared the wedges which had a phenomenal dip, and didn’t stand in line too…
Stopped in here on a whim for coffee. Didn't realize this seems to be a hot-spot. There were quite a few people there and a very long line. Instead of leaving I figured with a wait like this it must be good. So glad we stayed. The line move swiftly. The coffee and food…
Krankies is the quintessential Winston Salem dining experience—families, couples and individuals flocking to the place on weekends to grab either a quick bite or to lounge around slowly sipping a drink. We visited on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and weren’t disappointed. We…
