Benelux Cafe

I really enjoy their coffee. My only issue is the cleanliness. In the several times I have been there, the bar and storage area are constantly in a state of disarray. Crumbs from the waffle maker litter the nearby area. Used plates and cups stack high in the bus pans in the middle of the shop. And, with a 94.5 sanitation grade, with a servesafe certificate adding an extra point, I can't give more than 3 stars. Some work on cleaning and presentation, and this could be a 5 star establishment.

One of my favorite after work spots to blog and get a chai latte! Staff is super friendly :)

Quality waffles, but take note! They stop making them at 4pm. Otherwise a really great place to meet a friend or sit and work for a while. Add this place to your list of coffee shops in Raleigh!

Pros:
Coffee was amazing! Free refills. Great selection of breakfast food. Ok Belgian waffles.

Cons:
If you're trying to do work at like 9-11a in the morning, it probably won't work! It gets loud here because lots of people come here to socialize. I didn't mind though and just moved to the library

Not my favorite place. Food was decent but the atmosphere was not for me. It seemed more of a college place with people studying and such. Which is great if you are in school. Grab a cup of coffee and go.

Benelux has great coffee, but unfortunately the service has been slow 3 of the 4 times I've been in there (independent of the line length). I've never gotten one of their waffles, but I'll say they look amazing and I've heard great things about them.

The location and atmosphere are both great - very comfortable when there's room to sit.

bad experience. cold coffee, soggy quiche, and I saw the girl screw up my waffle so she decided to only give me half for 10.25. not coming back

Really great drip coffee at a decent price, and delicious pastries and quiches. Didn’t try the waffle but that looks good too. Plenty of table seating and a few comfy chairs too, two restrooms, spacious and bright. Parking is free in the deck nearby connected to the Berkshire apartments (enter parking deck on Clark St).

This was my first time coming here and it won't be my last. I was looking for a good cool of coffee and a quiet place to study and I found both of them. The wall is covered with a mural made out of coffee beans. It's too cool. I wanted to take it home but, that probably wasn't going to happen. Even when the shop got busy, it was still quiet enough to read in peace. They have allot of seating to accommodate people for large parties and they're pretty comfortable also. Thanks guys.

Great coffee, friendly & unpretentious baristas, delicious Belgian waffles (a little pricey, but a nice splurge). The space is nice, too, and I love to snag the love seat/couch when they are available. Even if it's busy and crowded, there's ample seating indoors and out.
