321 Coffee - NC State Centennial
930 Main Campus Dr #151, Raleigh, NC
Crema's Take
“This Raleigh spot has earned its stellar reputation through genuinely kind baristas like Paul, Elliot, and Garrison who make every visit feel like visiting friends rather than ordering coffee. Their espresso-focused menu shines whether you're after a carefully pulled shot, a seasonal specialty like their peppermint bark latte, or a methodical pour over, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it equally perfect for a quick caffeine fix or settling in for hours of work. It's the kind of place that inspires loyalty—locals and NC State students keep coming back because the coffee is legitimately excellent and the people behind the counter actually care.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Family friendly.
