A perfect example of a specialty coffee shop. Simple coffee forward menu that is well executed in a beautiful comfy space. Can’t wait to come back once the coffee is roasted in-house, which should be soon based on the looks of the roastery!

Very cute place! Love the aesthetic and the friendly staff! Stopped here for just a cup of joe but will be back to try more! I got a iced caramel latte with oat milk. It was a bit too sweet but was still good! Next time I’ll just know to say less sugar! The coffee is a good brew and the pastry looked amazing. This place is definitely a nice place to come and get some work don’t or just chill for a bit! Give them a try! #TellemGabbbSentya!

Smooth Joe Coffee is a classic-style coffee shop that really surprises you. Here are some highlights:
• Probably one of, if not the most, affordable coffee shops in Raleigh
• TONS of freshly made gourmet gluten free items including: gluten free crustless frittata/quiche, gluten free muffins, gluten free scones, gluten free brownies, gluten free fruit tarts, and even gluten free biscuits for breakfast sandwiches
• Breakfast and lunch options including flatbreads
• A wonderful neighborhood feel with vibes reminiscent of Central Perk on Friends
• Craft coffee roasted on-site
• Upcoming nitro brew
• Beautiful dine-in plates and cups
• Upcoming ice cream station
• In the same neighborhood as the toddler-friendly River Bend Park
• Large outdoor patio

Great coffee, great vibes! This part of town can feel like a desert of good coffee shops - well no longer! Solid craft coffee options, decent breakfast menu, and plenty of seating.

Oh my oh my oh my did we LOVE this place!! From the coffee shop’s vibe to the delicious bakery and coffee!! We got the gluten free peppermint brownie (DELICIOUS) and the gluten free cinnamon biscut (DELICIOUS) and a double chocolate muffin (DELICIOUS) and a chocolate chip cookie (pretty good, could be softer).
We especially loved the coffee shops vibes. So we’ll worth the wait. So nice in the inside.

Finally!!! NE Raleigh has an amazing coffee shop that actually has:
1. Outstanding Coffee
2. Comfortable Seating
3. Great Music
4. Delicious Food
The fresh salad with vinaigrette, feta, alfalfa spouts, and pomegranate is incredible.
I’ve been tracking the opening date for Smooth Joe since the late summer and it sure didn’t disappoint. This place is a little slice of heaven on earth!

Smooth Joe is an awesome local community coffee shop that provides excellent customer service. The coffee is great, the pastries (especially the GF/DF options) are top notch and delicious! The ambiance is open and inviting, making it a great place to dine-in.

I love the staff and the drinks/dessert here. I usually come to Smooth Joe Coffee when I need a place to do my homework. They play soft/jazz music so it’s very calming and soothing. Super friendly staff. Meredith is very attentive to the customers.

Staff was incredibly friendly. I had an iced coffee. Fantastic flavor. Using real drinkware for in house orders. Good atmosphere. Comfy chairs and plenty of seating. Outdoor seating also available. 10/10 would recommend!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Beyond the fact it's in walking distance from my house, the coffee and service are amazing. The environment is welcoming and has a great community vibe. They roast their own coffee and it's delightful. The bakery and lunch options are satisfying and the price point is better than you'll find anywhere else. The service is the best of all. You're always met with friendly faces, a warm smile, and top-notch customer service. I would highly recommend Smooth Joe!
