What People Are Saying About Third Place Coffeehouse

In Short
Just a few blocks from the corporate competition, Third Place keeps customers loyal with stellar coffee, a laid-back atmosphere and a quality menu of sandwiches (lots of veggie options) and desserts. Area art adorns the walls and the clientele is a mix of musicians, hipsters, intellectuals and neighborhood folks. Local and proud, even the coffee is a product of Raleigh (Larry's Beans).

Third Place is almost the perfect coffee shop. The decor inside makes me want to settle down with a book or a friend, hot cup of coffee (at a good price, $1, with $.65 refills), and relax. The music is always something interesting, from indie rock to reggae to old hippie music, and they tend to play full albums instead of satellite radio or an iPod on Shuffle. Plus, you MUST try the food! They have a great selection of sandwiches and wraps, which all come with tortilla chips and house made (?) salsa. Try the Plethora--it is awesome. Baked goods: I've only had a cookie from here, and it was a little lackluster, but I can't speak for anything else. The staff, though, have never impressed me. They've been quite rude on occasion, especially when nearing closing time--which is ridiculously early. 7pm! It's still light outside, and sometimes when I'm leaving Lilly's all I want is a coffee or hot chocolate, and they're closed up for the night. I don't get it. Maybe they'll stay open later in the summer months? I hope so.

I always though it best to go there on a nice night so that you can sit out front and people watch. But the wife and I stopped on one of the rare date nights this winter. It was very cozy inside. And we had an enjoyable conversation. Of course the great dessert didn't hurt.

This is a gem of a coffee shop. The desserts are fantastic as is the atmosphere. The seating offers a variety of options from booths to couches--perfect for hanging out. Starbucks is everywhere in the Triangle, but for a unique coffee house, try the Third Place.
