Idle Hour Coffee Roasters

Some of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten in my life and the coffee is stellar. It’s absolutely some of the best I’ve had great customer service and a warm and inviting and cozy atmosphere. I’ve made this a daily stop.

I had never heard of this place prior but had a friend invite me. As someone who is not very into pastries and coffee, this was a bit of a different choice for me, but I have to say they nailed it out of the park. This mushroom had strawberry and raspberry fruit filling molded into a mushroom made out of cheesecake.

I've been eyeballing this spot since we moved to Goldsboro via Instagram. Finally got to go, today, on our way to the Chinese Lantern Fest. I had the Vietnamese coffee and tiramisú. My wife got a hot cocoa bomb and macarons. The kids got macarons. All of it was great. I'd read some reviews about the gelatin ruining the desserts, but looking at it in the case told me there was probably something keeping the shape, so I kept an open mind and Im glad I did; once you dig in, all the flavors and textures you want in that dessert are there and I wish I had gotten two. 10/10 recommend. The rest of the family loved what they had, as well, so I'd say definitely give it a go!

It was too crowded to sit when we went, so we got it all to go. So if you show up and it's packed, they'll pack it up for you. If we didn't live so far, I'd show up more often.

Liked the outside vibe. Could definitely see myself having a coffee on a early fall morning. Very basic drink options. Cappuccino was pretty good but dirty chai latte was repulsive. 2/5 not my favorite coffee spot in Raleigh.

They have great espresso, great pour over coffee, and great coco bombs (for hot chocolate). I will absolutely come back when I'm in Raleigh again.

One of my favorite coffee shops. They have a cozy atmosphere and comfy booths to sit and do work, but there is very limited spots if you need an outlet! The coffee orders were sarisfying and baristas have been pleasant in my experience. I love the plants and natural light in the space. The only reason for -1 star is for the few outlets. If some extension cords could be added for tables not next to the wall that would be helpful!

Pretty chill little spot. Good coffee, amazing "traditional" macchiato. Staff was knowledgeable.

The only issue is with the name. The staff member I talked to said they are still perfecting their roasting...so, while you can buy whole bean coffee, just know that it's not Idle Hour brand...it's a different local roaster.

Hopefully they'll have their own roasts to sell. I'd like this place to stay open and offer some new unique roasts.

Such a cute space inside and out, the pop color with yellow patio furniture and plants all around you make the space feel friendly inviting. Kind and helpful staff. Lots of seating areas for solo guests or small groups. I enjoyed my Vietnamese coffee and look forward to returning for their sandwiches and beautiful treats.

Tea was delicious :) and served in the most beautiful way. Enjoyed the outside seating on cooler day but noticed they had heaters on outside which was such a nice surprise! My boyfriend and I had the best time and will come again soon.

Also, the owner is a phenomenal techies player - thebe

Not sure where the friendly staff so many have mentioned went off to but they were not around during my visit. As others have said its a bit of a small cramped area but what coffee shop isn’t. Got two donuts, super tasty and great texture, def recommended. Banh mi sandwich was also awesome, v good. Drinks were good but not the greatest. My vanilla latte was pretty good, but only after asking for extra syrup, but I’m not sure it had any to begin with. Staff could’ve been friendlier.
