Simmer Coffee House
726 Slash Pine Dr, Cary, NC
Crema's Take
“This neighborhood gem in West Cary has quickly become a beloved gathering spot where the owner's genuine passion for specialty drinks like matcha truly shines through—they'll even let you taste upcoming creations. Beyond the expertly crafted coffee, what keeps people coming back is the exceptional warmth of the baristas and owner, who make everyone feel welcomed the moment they walk in, paired with creative bites like their standout open-faced toasts and pillowy cinnamon rolls. It's exactly the kind of independent coffee house the area has been craving, with the kind of personal touches that transform a quick caffeine run into a genuine community experience.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

This cafe is cute, parking was easy and workers were nice. The owner came and chatted with us and was so educated on matcha and was so kind and even offered us to try their new flavor coming out this month and it was SOOOO good. I will be coming back!

So glad there’s a new coffee shop in my neighborhood again. It’s great to have options that are not a franchise. Staff was so friendly and my salmon toast was yummy. Open-faced toasts are a little pricey but they have a rewards program that helps decrease cost. Updated 1/2/26 -…
