Crema's Take

“Third Place Coffee House feels like stepping into the beloved Central Perk from Friends, where David's genuine warmth makes every visit feel like coming home to neighbors rather than strangers. Beyond their reliably excellent coffee and thoughtfully curated pastries (including bagels from Raleigh's best bagel shop), this spot has mastered the art of being everything at once—a serious coffee destination, a comfortable workspace, and a genuine gathering place where locals linger in cushy chairs over monthly specialty drink creations.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

Quite an eclectic spot. It feels like walking into 'Central Perk' from Friends in the 90s. (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing! ;) ) Great location right by Five Points. Wall is lined with tables and power supplies for folks to work remote. The music is at a comfortable level…
