I have never had a better coffee

by egpritch

Ever since Global Village opened in the late 1990's, I have rated coffee houses on a scale of 0 to Global Village. I have had coffees all over the world and never seen better coffee. Mike, I don't know what you do... but keep it up!

• Pros: Excellent lattes or try the Cafe' Saigon
• Cons: Too many people know about it

great community coffee shop

by kileyq

The location is great for NC State students. I have had lattes, apple ciders, mochas, and italian sodas and enjoyed each one. The panini are also tasty. The atmosphere is eclectic and comfortable. The best is the fact that when the seats fill up (as they inevitably do), there is always someone willing to let you camp at their table. The glassware used in-house cuts down on waste. Students, professors, and suits all frequent this gem.

friendliest staff, great teas and great concept!

by TygyrLily

I do wish the hours were longer, and there were more outlets for laptops; but everything else at Global Village makes up for this. Mike and his staff are really friendly, and helpful (Mike somehow remembers everyone's name!). The paninis are great, and they have an amazing selection of teas (besides coffees). It's my favorite place in town to study.

Additionally, I LOVE that there is an emphasis on organic, fair trade coffee, etc. It's really encouraging to see a business acting responsibly.

• Pros: wide selection, fair trade, great ambience
• Cons: not enough outlets for laptops, not open late
