What customers say

I stopped by Idle Coffee for a quick iced latte and was a bit surprised when my caramel oat milk latte rang up at $8.30—whew! That said, it was a great latte. I ended up adding an extra shot, and I really appreciated the quality of their espresso. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better.

Yesterday morning I had a pleasure to stopped by the ldle Hour Coffee Roaster! WoW…. Incredible it was a wonderful experience at Idle. The decorations were beyond stellar, the ambience was delightful and calm. I was in a bit of rush because of my 10 minutes parking lot so I stopped in for a quick order to go.

I always loved this coffee shop when I lived in Raleigh but I had a particularly good time when I was there today early in the morning. The atmosphere here is top notch and they do a great job of providing many breakfast options that don’t require a kitchen, like breads, donuts, cakes, biscotti, etc.
