Coffee Studio
370 S Walker St Suite 123, Hampstead, NC
Crema's Take
“Coffee Studio in Hampstead is an espresso-focused gem where the baristas truly know their craft—they nail drinks like cortados and decaf espressos with care, and rotate their single-origin beans regularly so there's always something fresh to discover. Beyond the excellent coffee, their seasonal creativity shines through in inventive drinks like hot toasted marshmallow hojicha, all enhanced by house-made syrups, making it feel less like a chain and more like a place where someone's genuinely thinking about what you're drinking. Whether you're settling in for a slow afternoon with wifi and pastries or grabbing something quick before heading downtown, the clean, welcoming space with both indoor and outdoor seating strikes that perfect balance between focused coffee craft and genuine hospitality.”

Just had two lovely decaf espressos and a decaf latte here. They rotate their beans and have one decaf and one regular at any given time. Currently, the beans are from Joe Van Gogh. The baristas here are knowledgable and their technique is excellent. The espresso was well balanced and didn't leave a harsh aftertaste the latte was also well balanced. The coffee flavor shone through without being overpowering. The steamed milk texture was perfect. I'm 100% decaf and it's hard to find a shop that shows the decaf some love! This place does. Check it out!
Coffee Studio is awesome and makes an amazing cortado. I’m a big fan of cortados and cappuccinos, but lately I’ve been especially into cortados and really fell in love with this drink — and they nailed it here. As you can see in the photo, it’s rich, bold, and super tasty. The milk ratio is perfect — exactly how it should be. These days it’s actually pretty rare to find a truly good, well-balanced cortado, so this was a great surprise. If you’re in downtown Cary, definitely check this place out. The spot itself is very stylish, and I also loved their cups. Most places just use basic, generic cups, but here you can tell they actually put some thought into the design. Highly recommend.
Stopped here before heading to downtown cary park and it was the perfect spot to grab a drink. I got their seasonal drink of a hot toasted marshmallow hojicha which was a perfect fall drink. The hojicha taste came through perfectly. My husband ordered an iced strawberry matcha latte and that was also so good! There was lots of searing inside and had 2 small tables outside. Definitely a good spot to meet up with friends or to work. There were also paninis and a case with pastries in them as well. This spot also is also walking distance to Cary park !
Coffee Studio is a great spot with tons of drink options and a fresh, clean vibe. There’s plenty of indoor seating and some nice outdoor spots too. What really stood out were the homemade syrups — I tried the brown sugar cinnamon and it was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try more!
Nice spot. Stopped by after dining in SAAP. Very near to Cary downtown park. Has wifi and I visited during lunch hours and it wad moderately quite Had many tables that were empty. Service was fast as well. They had sparkling lemonade refreshers, smoothies, latte, mocha, cappuccino, macchiato, espresso, Americano, flat white, batch brew and Nitro cold brew. Had whole, 2% and skim milk options - pretty much everything you can have Starbucks are available here. Also noticed Matcha and ice tea in the menu. I ordered Latte and the coffee flavor was very fresh. Nicely done. Will be visiting again when I visit the area.
