11 Best Coffee Shops near Hillsborough

“This is the best coffee shop for miles around. Literally, if you're driving down the 85 anytime between Richmond and Atlanta, you should make the time and effort to go have coffee here.“

“My boyfriend and I always go to this McDonald’s and the food is always good and they never get our order wrong! One lady who takes our order sometimes is always extremely nice, kind, and super polite (she needs a raise ASAP). Best McDonald’s in Hillsborough by far!“

“I’ve been ordering whole bean coffee from Joe van gough for awhile and love trying the newer blends and specialty coffees, it’s what we get up for! So fresh!“

“My husband and I threw a last-minute, surprise wedding disguised as an engagement party on the unseasonably frigid Friday after Thanksgiving 2025. Honeysuckle Tea House went above and beyond in accommodating our scheme, our many, many dietary restrictions, the short-time frame, and all the warmth we would require to make the wedding everything we dreamt of. And so it was!! Such a magical day!! We are so fortunate to have had our wedding here.“

“The Bean Flower is hands down the best boba shop in the triangle, and I love putting money in the pocket for a born and bred Durham biz owner- a real person not a corporation. CC and her team worked really hard on this menu, and it shows. The specials are really unique and delicious (chai nog, corn milk, and the malted orange hot chocolate have been standouts). But the main reason I go is for the chai. It's really authentic, sweet, spicy, and delicious.

I can tell that CC and her team are genuinely community driven and I'm so glad we have this spot in Durham.“

“AMAZING FOOD!!!! My family loved it there and it’s also so beautiful!! Highly recommend“

“The Sweet Tea Cafe is truly one of a kind.

The guy who runs it is awesome - genuinely super cool, and passionate about what he does. And the tea? Hands down the best I’ve ever had.

If you’re looking for somewhere unique with great vibes to take someone in Durham, this is absolutely the place - especially when the weather is beautiful and you can just hang out and relax.

My boyfriend and I jokingly call it the “forbidden” tea shop because it always seems to be open on days I’m working 😂 but whenever I get a day off, it feels like a little treat.

Can’t recommend it enough!“

“So far, I recommend the French toast donut and the maple bacon donut.“

“Great service and coffee. Would definitely recommend it anyone!!!“

“This Dunkin in Mebane is so great! The people are always nice and efficient. Always welcoming here and it’s clean! I seen another review that said they didn’t have a sign about taking the app but they do have a sign when you walk in, you just need to look and read. This is a great Dunkin!“

“SociaBull is a great company with great management. I highly suggest for any businesses looking for in-office coffee, soda or break room supplies. They’ll provide top notch products with even better service!“
