15 Best Coffee Shops near Wingate

“Java is a little suburban Cafe just around the corner from the Wingate University campus.
A family member attends Wingate and suggested we visit for lunch.
Decor is quite basic but the food is magnificent, the service is fast, and the prices are very reasonable. We understood immediately why Java is a favourite for the kids next door on campus!
In all honesty, Java's subs were simple but so chock full of quality ingredients that we rate as one of the BEST meals we had during our visit for Wingate Class of 2026 graduation.
Highly recommended by us!“

“it’s true, great things come in small packages. This is probably the smallest McDonald’s I’ve been in, but definitely the best. The ice cream and frappé machines always work! The staff is awesome! & fortunate to have such awesome managers. Thank you!!“

“What an adorable place. My son used to go there often when he went to high school in Monroe. We were in the area yesterday and decided to drop in. It is absolutely adorable. I went in and placed an order as we had our dog with us and then my hubby went in and got everything. They have tons of sugar free syrups which was wonderful. They also carry unsweetened almond milk. This was much needed as we’re diabetic, so we are fans already. The coffee tasted really good!

We sat on their patio which had cover over it. We’ll definitely be back again when we are in the area.“

“Had the best experience here with my family. We enjoyed the coffee, matcha and the ice cream! Everything was delicious and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful!! Can’t recommend Creama Cafe enough!“

“I love this place! After coming in for a long time, greeted with the best staff, I had to get me a job there myself! Julia is great, she works hard to keep the business growing within the community. Coffee, desserts, muffins, etc!“

“I came in yesterday to experiment with my bestie, and we played it safe with small lattes—just in case they weren’t good 😊 I’m usually loyal to their brand of dark roast beans, so I wasn’t familiar with much else.
I ordered the Hot Honey Lavender Latte and the Hot Honey Almond Milk Crafted Press, and both were smooth, comforting, and perfectly balanced. Such a pleasant surprise. We also grabbed two grilled cheese sandwiches on sourdough, which were golden and melty, plus I picked up a stainless steel mug I love.
Abby and Oswaldo were the best—friendly, patient, and genuinely welcoming. Great drinks, great food, and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back ☕✨“

“As much as I do bad reviews I do great reviews! So here goes, I wasn’t greeted, however the came to assist upon coming to the counter. The engagement with the young lady at the counter was cool she insisted she can make sure my food was cooked. She got the order corrected and got food was given to me. In less than 5 mins. Better service than what I had experienced littler over an hour ago.“

“Mary was an awesome person this morning! I stopped by afterwards an appointment for a treat and I know there was a lot going on. She blessed me and others and was so kind! Really love what she does and the community! Thankful to see that!“

“I stopped by for a cold coffee drink and it tasted amazing, I recommend the chocolate one but the one my mom got (vanilla) was also very very good. Very cute shop and will definitely be back.“

“Friendly and fast. Not perfect though because they have had issues with their espresso machine not working.“
