New World Café

Best coffee shop and sandwich spot in Raleigh, by miles. Mike knows coffee both as an art and a science. He wants people to not just enjoy coffee, but to appreciate the nuance that each cup and preparation provides.

If you want coffee the way it deserves to be, go to New World.

Also, the sandwiches and Açaí bowls are flippin awesome. I recommend the Vermont Bowl.

Excellent food and pretty good coffee. Super friendly staff with good suggestions. While waiting for our food we chatted about movies. We will definitely be back. Great that they are open on sunday when others aren't

Do yourself a favor and visit New World Cafe!

The employees are friendly and helpful. The food menu has a great selection of sandwiches, salads, acai bowls, and more. And most importantly, the coffee and espresso is the best in the area.

Whether you appreciate traditional, European style espresso drinks, a wide variety of pour over coffee from local roasters (like Black and White and Counter Culture), or just a quality cold brew or drip coffee, New World Cafe has it all.

Ok, my favorite Mexican Restaurant is El Rodeo on Pleasant Valley Road in Raleigh. Many of my friends have spoken highly of this local owned coffee shop in the same shopping center. Now I regularly have lunch at El Rodeo so had not had to opportunity to stop in for coffee. However, I finally made a point of grabbing coffee with a client and was very happy with the experience. As New World has great coffee and these little cookies (to be honest I forgot the name) which were awesome. Now I have to split my time over on Pleasant Valley Road, as I do need to work! But as it turns out, New World was a great place to meet my client too.

I'd give zero stars. I came into the coffee shop to work remotely and enjoy some good coffee. Unfortunately I received a very urgent call from a multimillion dollar customer. I was approached by the owner to order coffee or get out. I Pulled him aside to explain. I was told over and over it was "very simple" and "he watched us for 45 mins sit in his shop" and I had to order coffee because it was a busy day... There were a handful of people there. Honestly he was completely unapologetic and almost happy we were leaving. He claimed to approach everyone in his store loudly like he did us if they didn't buy coffee right away. Which I find hard to believe. If this is his example of a graceful businessman. He has a lot of work to do. I'd advise people to spare themselves the theatrics for some mediocre coffee. I ordered a large coffee and left for Starbucks. Mom and pop shops complain we don't support them....horrible customer service is a number one reason.

Loved this little cafe! I stumbled across it on google maps and thought I’d give it a go. The coffee was delicious and tasted far better than the usual Starbucks. They have plenty of healthy food options and cookies. I shared the keto salad which came with a surprisingly spicy chipotle mayo 👍🏻

Been here a few times and there drip coffee is consistently excellent, they also have a wide variety of coffee from local roasters for pour overs. Staff is really nice and knowledgeable, really nice local hole in the wall for us coffee lovers!!

I am very picky about my espresso/coffee drinks. They are so pure and real in their traditional drinks, that no additional flavors or additives are needed. I love the quality of a good latte here.

Discovered this cafe as it's across the street from my gym. The coffee is first class, always fresh. The baked goods are tasty and the breakfast sandwiches are good, indeed. Ample space to sit and work, and a few tables on the sidewalk.

Espresso was average. A bit sour/ over extracted.
