19 Best Cafes in Chapel Hill

“Fantastic healthy meal choices and a hot and cold drink selection that helps you power through any task.“

“What a wonderful beautiful vibe!“

“Such a cute coffee shop on Franklin Street! There's a lot of space inside to do work or chat with friends. I got a lavender iced latte, which I thought tasted great. It's also the same price for any size drink! The barista was also very nice and helped me pick out coffee beans.“

“Great coffee in a lovely location!“

“Food was delicious. Very happy.“

“Amazing Place and atmosphere!“

“My go-to coffee shop on campus! Great to support a non-profit run by students, for students!“

“The best coffee in town. And a atmosphere that’s work friendly and not one that includes crying babies drinking vanilla steamers.:) 😂🔥👌“

“Delicious pastries 🥮 and macaroons 🇫🇷, French press coffee and frozen sweet treats too.“

“Cafe McColl is a delightful, business casual dining establishment where friends are family and family means olive garden. Tourists and locals alike flock to Cafe McColl, or "La Comida Grande", in search of coffee, food, or maybe just a smiling face. There are many options to choose from - Cafe McColl offers an international pantheon of exquisite and fairly priced meals for even the most discerning of palettes. Might this reviewer suggest the daringly authentic 'Kung Pao Chicken' or the whimsical and exotic "Cheese Quesadilla". If these sound intimidating to the reader, the cafe also offers bagels, a salad bar, and their lunch-time special, claustrophobia.“

“This is a small branch of Saladelia in Marsico Hall on campus at UNC. They bring in food early in the morning with some hot and cold food choices such as breakfast sandwiches, soup, salads and grab and go items as well as coffee and bottled drinks. Clearly not as nice as the main cafe in Durham, but a nice choice to have for some variation from campus dining.“

“Had the chimmichurra sauce with rice and skewered chicken Fingerling potatoes extra chimmichurra . It was absolutely amazing. Please share the chimmichurra recipe I've had many in my life but not as excellent as the one you guys made!!!! Top score for the entire meal!

Kid-friendliness: Yes its in the childrens hospital!

“Preemptively leaving a 5 star review because the ones at the beach are always amazing.

QUESTION: is this one open to the public (non-student, mom of 3, desperately in need of caffeine and desperately in need of Port City Java)??? Also, if open to the public, where is the best place to park?“

“Amber was awesome to us and the food was perfect!“

“We worked with the Honeysuckle Tea House to host my sister’s Bridal Shower and could not have had a better experience. Sandy was so helpful when planning the event and checking in leading up. Rebecca who worked with us during the event was amazing and truly helped with everything! The space was absolutely beautiful. Neal and team did an amazing job with our grazing table. We were obsessed with the mini cheesecakes and pimento cheese sandwiches but truly everything was delicious! Would certainly have a wedding here.“

“Excellent, historic restaurant with 102 years of satisfied customers. Convenient location at 138 Franklin Street. Wide selection of foodstuffs for breakfast, lunch or early dinner.

Parking: Limited, paid street parking along a busy, main street adjacent to a popular college campus.“

“From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we felt comfortable and welcomed. After a 7 hour drive from PA, check in was friendly and efficient. Alonzo, the manager, was extremely kind and friendly and went above and beyond to get us checked in comfortably and quickly. The hotel was clean, the fitness room was fabulous, the pool was fun and the two gentlemen working at the Bistro were fabulous. We requested a box of tissues and they came to the room within minutes. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to any travelers going to the Chapel Hill area.“
