What customers say

Great coffee, great people. I didn't realize they had a great purpose at first either. (Felt like a bit of a heel, I ordered a cappuccino before realizing it wasnt on menu - a latte or espresso is - and a disabled person was taking my order, which was confusing, if only a tad. Mea culpa.

Love the Elevate coffee beans. I’ve been buying them to make at home and love getting their iced latte.

I am in Raleigh for a business trip and the nearest Starbucks is a long walk from my hotel. I stumbled upon 321 Coffee by chance and had a wonderful experience. Paul took my order quickly and my coffee is delicious. I will definitely be back!

321 Coffee is such a cozy little gem! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and everything on the menu feels made with love. I especially want to give a shout-out to Sam at the register—so kind, friendly, and patient. Sam made the whole experience even brighter with a genuine smile and great energy.
