Global Village Organic Coffee

This is the first time I've ever left a review on Google, but this place deserves it! They have their customer service DOWN. I came in for the first time looking for Thai tea (they didn't have it, but said they would experiment with possibly adding it to their menu, which is super cool), and while my girlfriend and I were having a nice discussion with the cashier about nothing related to coffee - the guy behind me in line was picked up by another cashier that had noticed he was waiting. The prices were good, the coffee great (although I'm not an expert on this stuff) it looked nice inside, and they even had a bunch of board games like chess (my favorite) checkers and some others. They are organic and try to buy local, which is surprising considering their prices. To top it all off, they gave my girlfriend and I their leftover muffins and cookies! Highly recommend.

Wow, so so good! So far I've tried the matcha latte and the regular caffeine latte. Both were absolutely amazing! Also, so happy they don't charge extra for non-dairy milk! My only complaint would be there is oftentimes not enough seating during peak hours, so just be conscious of what time you go.

Best coffee in Raleigh! I go here as often as I am able. The service is great - super friendly and helpful. I also buy beans here for my espresso machine and they grind them perfectly to meet my needs. Delicious coffee!

This is a fantastic place to have a nice coffee or tea and get some work done, or have a chat with friends! Their drinks are all tasty (as far as I know) and their staff is super friendly. The one downside is the fact that there aren't too many outlets, so if you need one it may not be available.

Great coffee place near the campus.

An Everyday go to place!
Locally owned, real coffee, nice staff, love the money from all over the world at the counter.
Forget about starbucks and big chains forever

The coffee here has NEVER let me down. The pastries and food are also fantastic since they're all made in-house. But, my qualm about this coffee shop is its lack of friendly baristas. I've visited Global Village several time within the last week or so and I've received the same lack-luster customer service. For me, part of the coffee shop experience is the friendliness of the baristas behind the counter since that's what makes you feel welcome and "at home." I'll come back for the coffee, but not necessarily for the substandard service.

This cafe has pleasant outdoor seating where you can sip a coffee and watch passerby to and from the nearby university. Their coffees often come with strange automatic add-ons, though. For instance, they always add cinnamon to cappuccinos, and they always add lots of sugar to cafe con leche. It's hard to know what you are going to get, and someone who only wants espresso and milk should probably ask clarifying questions with their order. Their coffee is also pricier than nearby Cup a Joe.

Lots of seating, solid prices. Not a ton of outlets if you're looking to study on a laptop.

Update: Really appreciate how seriously the staff has taken COVID! Upgrading from 4 to 5 stars. Also appreciate how politely yet insistently staff has dealt with anyone not wearing a mask when they walk in.

Global Village serves top-quality espresso, coffee and tea. I can not speak for their food because I am allergic to practically everything they serve, I can say it looks delicious. I enjoy coming here for a green jade tea. Before I quit coffee I loved their espresso shots and lattes. Service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Highly recommended.
