Notes Coffee House
830 Perry Rd, Cary, NC
Crema's Take
“Notes Coffee House is a hidden gem tucked away in a downtown plaza where skilled baristas treat espresso with real precision—their flat whites and cortados are executed beautifully, and they cap off each drink with a complimentary dark chocolate espresso bean that feels like a small celebration. Beyond the stellar traditional espresso drinks, they get creative with signature offerings like the Purple Rain latte (blackberry and lavender), giving you plenty of reasons to return and explore their menu without the stress of crushing crowds. The owner and staff radiate genuine warmth and hospitality, making this the kind of place where you'll want to linger over a perfectly pulled shot and actually feel like you belong.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Parking available.
