It was morning and there was an extreme need for a jolt of caffeine to get me going. We were at Bailey Park and there are a few choices however I hadn't tried Anchor before so the decision was made. An open space with concrete walls and industrial pipes from the ceiling were the decor and black metal tables and chairs throughout I ordered the vanilla lavender latte which was made fairly quickly and served in a paper to-go cup. The drink itself costs $6 however it didn't have too much of the flavors of vanilla or lavender. It was okay but just okay. read more

Coffee shop is in between restaurants and bars, which is a prime location. I ordered the matcha latte with almond milk. Was made to perfection. There is plenty of seating area inside and out. It's its past Dram and Draught. Very professional and most of all clean! read more

This was my first time coming to Anchor Coffee. It's a cute space. They made good use out of, what looks like, an old industrial space. There was plenty of seating options inside. I don't recall seeing any outdoor seating. They do have music playing. To me, it was at a good volume. I also liked that they have plenty of outlets. Some coffee shops barely have a couple, so you hope you're able to get all of your work done before your laptop battery dies. The girl who took my order was super sweet. She gave good recommendations. She suggested the vanilla lavender latte, I ordered it hot and it was good. I also ordered the Cuban sandwich and it was very good. They also have other snack and pastry options to choose from. I'll definitely be visiting Anchor Coffee in the future. read more

Came in for an afternoon coffee, and the vibes were immaculate. Really cool space with high ceilings and big windows which let in the most gorgeous afternoon light. They were playing some indie tunes which made the whole atmosphere feel just heavenly. My iced coffee with a splash of oat milk was also delicious. I could sit here sipping coffee forever. read more

It was a pretty warm day today. I was downtown and came into anchor coffee. Their orange cream iced coffee hit the spot with hints of vanilla and a nitro Brew. It was absolutely beautiful. The place was amazing and in an old factory building with high ceilings. They take their coffee seriously and I will seriously come back and try all of them!! read more

Very cool industrial coffee shop with great drink options and beer! It's located in the Bailey power plant park and has many food and drink places to check out. This place was packed and we were lucky to find a seat, you know that's always sign of a good business. The service was fine and the music is chill which is great for focusing on work or just hanging out. The interior is very spacious and minimal, they could use more seating especially how packed it gets. Very sad this place is not near where we live but we enjoyed our time spent here greatly, highly recommend! read more

I am very picky over my iced vanilla lattes. I stopped into anchor while downtown a couple months back and it was very delicious! They were hosting some live music and the place was amazing! Live plants everywhere and the service was great as well. It is a little echoing when it comes to music inside but for a coffee shop, it's a wonderful atmosphere. read more

I'm always on the lookout for a coffee shop to do my work. I've been following Anchor on social media for a while so I decided to check them out. They have a great location in the innovation Quarter. It was easy to find parking and they are located in the Bailey power plant. The space is large and they have plenty of tables. I had their spring tea drink, which was a blueberry London Fog. I like that it was a housemaid, blueberry syrup, and the drink was really tasty. They are dog friendly, and it looks like a great place to have a coffee with a friend. I will definitely check them out again and try more of their drinks. read more

Anchor Coffee - Blueberry London fog - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Not your cozy kinda coffee shop... more workspace and industrial . That is the vibe In this area though. Great coffee menu with a variety of teas, and smoothies and beer on tap. They have food but not much variety on Monday morning. Most of their stuff looked like it was Camino. A local bakery. They advertise sandwiches but they didn't have any when we asked. They make them there apparently and didn't have any ingredients. Maybe should if they advertise it!! The coffees we got were great and nice and strong. My cappuccino was in a real cup which I always love. Signs of a coffee shop that knows coffee. Pretty presentation. My friends regular coffee also she liked a lot and also in a real mug. She got the mushroom quiche which was from Camino. They heat it up for you, and she really enjoyed it. I had just a plain bagel also from Camino, he toasted it for me. Nice and chewy . Didn't realize til after I'd paid $4 for the bagel. Kinda high for plain bagel I thought considering I didn't get any spread. Honestly this place is more for those working individuals or those looking to get something to go. It's a huge space but just not a place I'd go back to meet people. Probably works great in this innovative area though. read more

Anchor Coffee is a real cool spot, with an industrial vibe. It's located in the historic Bailey Power Plant right across from the park and fits right in with the rest of the city. They have music playing and the coffee (well cappuccino) is solid. read more

Anchor Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I am thrilled that Anchor Coffee Co. has opened their doors in the Bailey Power Plant! This is going to be a major highlight of downtown Winston. Anchor is currently in a soft opening phase and plans to open full-time later this fall. Currently you can grab a drink from 10AM to 1PM, Monday through Saturday. Everything about it thus far is amazing. The space is so thoughtfully designed, with a huge bar area complete with electrical outlets at every seat. This is a great study and work space. The indoor seating area is super spacious with tons of seating and a lounge area. I love the greenery, lighting, and industrial decor. It fits the Bailey Power Plant vibe so well. To make it even better, the coffee is incredible. Wow. Everything we've had so far has been top notch. The drip was the first thing I tried - delicious and roasty. Next up was a vanilla latte, also perfect. On our most recent visit, I got the honey cinnamon latte with almond milk and was so happy to see we could get it in a large mug to drink on site. It was AMAZING. Well spiced and not too sweet - absolutely perfect. The Barista's Choice, my husband's drink, is only prepared to be drank on site, which was no problem. This was really special. It was a shaken/iced orange and spice drink with heavy cream. We will probably mourn when this inevitably goes off the seasonal menu. It was that good. Eventually, I believe Anchor is going to bring in live music and also serve draft beer with evening hours, so it won't just be a coffee shop. How cool is that? It's going to be so nice to have a place in the area like this. Welcome, Anchor! Thanks for choosing downtown Winston as your next expansion! read more

This is one of my favorite places to do work because of the openness. I usually stick with the basics here like drip coffee, tea and cortados. I have the occasional beer as well. This is purely economics. The dressed up beverages are usually around $6. I have been interested in bakery items when going but I keep hoping they won't have Camino. If I wanted that, I would go there. (I never do.) Most of the time the staff is chill. However, too chill tonight as the girl working left my tea steeping for an extremely long time while she appeared to be napping and looking at her phone. I couldn't get her attention for some time and it then took her a bit to figure out why I was standing there. So odd. I normally have speedy service. read more

I just love the industrial and coal pit vibe of all the stores in this area. Anchor coffee fits right in. Great ambiance and staff. I tried the seasonal candy cane (Peppermint dark Choc latte) and Husben had the vanilla latte. Great place to bring your laptop, pet, or take it for a downtown walk. Flavors were very good but I will say the lattes were not very strong, neither of us had a good caffeine buzz, maybe just one shot espresso? Anyway we'd totally come back making sure to get extra espresso and maybe try the sandwich menu! read more

Anchor Coffee serves up high end espresso in a sleek and airy industrial warehouse space. I was visiting Winston, and Anchor became an essential morning stop every day. Service was super fast, and our drinks were prepared perfectly by a serious barista. This is seriously good coffee in a cool setting. Even better, they serve Camino Bakery pastries, and the danishes from that place are absolutely ridonkulous. There are several good coffee shops in downtown Winston-Salem, and this one turned out to be our favorite! read more

INTRO: Anchor Coffee repurposes the vacant tobacco plant space and brings forth a venue that is not only inviting to students and families but also hip for young adults. This cafe serves both coffee and alcohol at affordable prices, which creates a dual atmosphere depending on the time of day. A cafe in the morning, a bar in the evening. What more can you ask for within a 10 second walk from Bailey Park? DRINK 1: Honey Cinnamon Latte ($5.00) - This drink does a superb job of combining both the honey and cinnamon flavors while not having one flavor overpower the other. This latte is guaranteed to warm your soul and give you a metaphoric hug on a cold winter morning. 8/10 DRINK 2: Ritual Mocha ($5.00) - I wasn't a fan of this drink. The chocolate was as strong or rich as I had anticipated and hoped. Quite underwhelming if you ask me. 5/10 WORTH IT? Maybe, it might be worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for a cafe to go to (6.5/10) *PLEASE NOTE: The music coming from their speakers are a bit loud, so make sure to bring earphones or earbuds if you plan on studying at this cafe. read more

Anchor Coffee - Honey Cinnamon Latte ($5.00) and Ritual Mocha ($5.00) - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

One of the newest additions to Bailey Park! They serve both coffee and alcohol in a beautiful and simplistic modern interior design. Plenty of tables/chairs, lounge couch in the back, and bar with stools. They do have free wifi and you see the occasional student studying, but the music is much too loud for my preference. A better chit-chat cafe for me, my classmates and I have met here twice for group discussions. Customer service has always been great and friendly, and as always parking is a nightmare around Bailey Park but there are plenty of street parking nearby if you're unable to find parking directly at the park. We tried their honey cinnamon latte which has strong flavors of both honey and cinnamon that complement the earthy flavors of the coffee. Overall delicious. We also tried their ritual mocha which I LOVED, the chocolate was so rich and not overpowering of the coffee. Also not sickly sweet like many mochas are. My favorite drink of the two. I hope to come back to try more of their coffee drinks (especially with their seasonal rotations) and potentially alcoholic beverages! read more

Anchor Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

The ambiance in this place is absolutely amazing. Has a very industrial vibe. Right in the Bailey Park area in downtown Winston-Salem. There arent a lot of bakery items. The thing that bothers me the most about all the new coffee shops is everybody keeps using caminos bakery because they offer wholesale pricing. However, their food is very overrated. The cortado was nice and smooth. Absolutely no complaints there. I can see how this place would need to keep bands and things like that on the weekends and the week nights and charge to keep this place afloat. The service here is definitely not the friendliest. The girl that was running the register was not the nicest. The guy that pulled the espresso had a little bit more life and personality than the girl that took the order . Would be nice to see if somebody could actually access some baked goods from somebody other than Camino. I probably would only get a espresso here if I happened to be in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, simply because there wasn't more than the espresso to offer. I'd say more grab and go kind of place unless you're there for the late night bands read more

Anchor Coffee - Cortado with OatMilk - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I really loved this coffee shop in downtown Winston - it had a great atmosphere that was inviting to all (young, old, families, students, etc.). They have a rotating seasonal drink menu and their standard menu to choose from. The baristas were incredibly friendly and helpful. I originally wanted the Strawberry Fields Affogato but the barista informed me it was for dine in only and asked if that was ok, I told him I needed it to go because I was meeting people in the park - he immediately started recommending other popular items and even offered to let me taste the nitro cold brew they had on tap! I decided on a Honey Cinnamon Latte that he said was extremely popular. I did end up going back for the Strawberry Fields Affogato as well because I just really needed to try it. Drink #1: Honey Cinnamon Latte - WOW I can see why this is one of the most popular coffees they sell! The honey and cinnamon were perfectly balanced and one didn't overpower the other. It was a warm and inviting drink that left you contemplating a second...and possibly third. The temperature was perfect, nice and hot but able to drink it right away. I also live the thoughtful presentation on to go coffees - they serve it with the lid off so you can see how pretty they made the milk foam and you can grab your own lid. "Drink" #2: Strawberry Fields Affogato - this is basically a large shot glass with espresso topped ice cream, a strawberry whip (they make it in house), and a freeze dried strawberry. This was good but not my personal favorite. I wanted more strawberry flavor from the whip and I think a fresh strawberry would have been better on top. The espresso and ice cream was very refreshing though and had excellent flavor. read more

Anchor Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

First class coffee place in the center of Winston-Salem. I was visiting from California and was looking for a comforting 3rd wave place and this hits the spot better than I could have hoped for. The use a beautiful Slayer machine and they know the traditional drinks. I had a Macchiato 2 days in a row; it came out looking like it should, a double espresso with equal parts steamed milk. Good expresso and good milk. There is no where to hide in those drinks and they did the job well. If I'm in the area again I'll happily come back. read more

The best coffee shop in Winston. As a regular, i'm not even asked for my order and my coffee is perfect every time I come in.

Anchor Coffee - Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Finally got a chance to visit Anchor coffee for my morning caffeine fix. The decor is industrial chic, perhaps to pay homage to the space's former life as a power plant. The menu is super simple. Coffee, espresso drinks, and teas. There are a few good offerings in the form of bagels and I may have seen a pastry or two. The real stars here are bags of in-house roasted beans that you can purchase for home brewing. I didn't stay to do work so o can't speak to the presence and quality of WiFI. There were a few folks in there this morning who appeared to be working away on their laptops so maybe I'll bring mine next time. If you're in the neighborhood stop on by and grab a cup of coffee or a bag of beans. read more

I was really amazed at this place. When I walked in, I was immediately struck by the big airy space and how well designed it was, with cute plants everywhere! There are so many tables that would be great for studying or chatting at. I ordered a cold brew with oat milk and my boyfriend ordered a regular cold brew. It's on tap so it came out super creamy, with a delicious foam. It was some of the best cold brew i've ever had and at $4, a fair price. They also have beer at night with tons of options, most around $5. We worked from the couch which was super comfy. At times it got a bit loud with the music and conversations echoing so I wouldn't recommend for work that requires high concentration. Otherwise, it was a relaxing environment to be in. I'm definitely going to be here a lot in the future! read more

Very solid option in a city with several very good coffee spots. I like the industrial feel, i wouldn't describe the location as "cozy" but that isnt necessarily what i personally look for in a coffee shop. great location, i got some kind of latte i really enjoyed, and they had a good selection of beer on tap. Gotta be pretty popular with Wake Forest students i would imagine. read more

Some of the best coffee in town, love to see the local roaster! I really enjoyed the . This is a must for Winston!!!!

Solid coffee shop. Really enjoyed their espresso and cappuccino. Will definitely be back next time we pop over to Winston Salem.

I have been waiting what seems like an eternity for this location to open up and it was worth the wait! I'm so glad they are here. The coffee is fantastic and the space is awesome! Great service, great people and best of all fantastic coffee! They have a lot of competition just within a couple of blocks but they are the best of them all! read more
