This is a great coffee shop on Hillsborough Street. Lots of students, very trendy, service is great, and there's always something fun on the menu.

Got a latte and it tasted very burnt. I would have preferred hotel coffee over the latte I received.

Good local coffee place, interesting specials. Nice staff and vibe. One of the only places on Hillsborough Street that retains the pre-Target charm - it will always be my first choice for coffee around here. My only complaint is it seems like they changed their granola bar recipe. Whenever I got it before it was very chocolatey and peanut buttery, but when I got one yesterday it basically tasted like one of those chewy bars you can get from any grocery store. I was pretty disappointed yesterday, but I've since decided it's for the best (for my wallet and waistline) that the new ones aren't quite so addictive.

Normally pretty good, i usually get hot horchata which is tasty, but today not only did they give me a latte, which tasted ok, but the cup was not even full. I even listened to one of the workers train the other on how to make horchata so it's weird because I've gotten their horchata before and it definitely wasn't even close to a latte. It's possible the worker called out my drink while holding someone else's, especially bc the person that ordered after me got theirs before me, idk what they ordered or if they accidentally got mine. Still weird that the drink was entirely wrong though

Great and quiet college coffee shop. Kind staff and amazing coffee. Try a cafecito, it's like a frothy sweetened espresso shot and it's awesome.

I’m a long time customer and will say that I miss the vibe of the old Global Village, but new owners get to make their own choices, and I understand that. The thing that has caused me to stop going to Global is that they removed all the prices from the menu board, and there isn’t a printed menu available to see what everything costs.

My drink was delicious I had a dirty chai with Irish cream and apple syrup It was the perfect level of sweetness and flavor or I did not have to add anything to it It could just drink it straight out the cup. I also had a chicken bacon ranch wrap that they toasted there and it was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it. I will definitely be back.
I love the coffee taste and the overall vibe! The only thing I wish was different was that there is a big issue with flies, especially in the bathrooms and the internet isn’t very strong but other than that, it’s a great place to unwind and read a book, study, have a chat, or even sit on your phone!

Global Village is my favorite place on campus to get coffee and get some work done! The drinks are always great, and they always seem to have some sort of cute event going on. The staff is always super friendly too!
The Global of the old days is gone ? Everything painted blue, gone third wave coffee house, and an American flag up where there used to be bulk organic coffee to take home. The old owner Mike was terrible but at least the coffee used to be good and the interior reflected the name “Global Village” It feels heartless now :(

Good ambiance the hours can be a bit shorter then one would want. The maple vanilla latte was great and we love a student discount. Good change of scenery to study or catch up with friends. Food and bakery looks good even though I haven't had anything from that category yet.
