What a cute (and hence slow) little coffee shop!! But the wait is worth it - the coffees in various forms but only one size are delicious with a full and round aroma. The Turkey-Avocado and the Double-Bruschetta sandwiches were juicy and very tasty as was the biscuit with blueberry compote ... read more

Jubala is and has been one of my favorite local cafes since I've moved here. I have only been to the Hillsborough location, as I live close by, and it can get pretty busy during the school year but I usually never have problems so I don't make the trip to their other location. I have always been able to find parking on either the side of the building or in the lot directly behind it. An iced latte with an additional shot is my go-to, sometimes with caramel sauce or mocha sauce. But don't forget to check out their seasonal options too because those are always good. Most recently I've found that their food is also delicious! The turkey avocado sandwich is killer. I like to jazz it up by ordering it on sourdough and adding arugula (which does cost a little bit extra) BUT, here's a great life hack for you. As your side, order half chips and half salad- but put the greens on the sandwich! Boom, no extra charge and you still get plenty of chips. Their lemon poppyseed loaf is also crazy good and I order it whenever I see they have it. There's nothing like sitting by the big windows, enjoying a midday espresso & snack with a friend and this is one of my favorite places to do that. 10/10! P.S. Since CV19, I am unsure if they are allowing people back into the cafe but I have ordered curbside pick up through their online ordering system (which was a super pleasant experience) and the staff were wearing masks when I stopped by for my order! We love to see it read more

One of the worst coffee places I have ever been to, coffee doesn't even taste like coffee. How can you make coffee wrong? So overpriced for mid coffee. I haven't tried the food here but if it is bland as the coffee than please take your business somewhere else! read more

Jubala is a wonderful coffee shop to come hang out with friends. Let me get started with the view-you can see the NC State Belltower right across the street and it's lovely. Now the food and coffee are equally if not more amazing. Personally I'm a fan of their iced chai tea here, but that's just my opinion. It reminds me a little bit of horchata. Make sure you grab a biscuit here-they're a little sweet and super good! read more

This coffee shop is in a great location and has an amazing menu! I got the blueberry waffle and an iced vanilla latte, and they were both phenomenal.

Unfortunately my latte and my husbands hot tea were both luke warm. They weren't so nice either. Cost too much for this type of experience.

Best coffeehouse we have been to in a long while! If I were to open a coffee shop, this is how I'd want it to be - fresh, organic coffee; unique, fresh baked goods; a rustic decor; and a low punk rock over the speakers! We had never had Counter Culture beans before, but are sure glad we tried it. Their seasonal drinks were delicious, and you could tell it was a quality, well-made coffee by the baristas. I really enjoyed watching them work during my stay, they are clearly experts! I am not a student nearby, but I could tell this was a really popular spot to mingle and study. I wish I had something like this near me "in my day." They had a wide selection of both food and drink - we did the lemon rosemary cake, and the oatmeal cream pie. It was the BEST oatmeal cream pie my wife and I have ever had! I am still thinking about it. Order it, you won't regret it! read more

Jubala Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Please be aware there is a potential health concern about this location. I was sitting next to the kitchen and there were 3 employees discussing how multiple employees at this location are sick currently with a respiratory infection (including the employees that were chatting), and have pending drs appointments. This was concerning to witness for SEVERAL reasons, especially since the employees chatting were cooking and delivering food to the tables and not wearing masks. Extremely concerning and disappointing. I have sent an email to Jubala and I would avoid this location for now. read more

I had heard good thing of Jubala and I have to say it didn't disappoint! Everything was delicious. The cortado was great not bitter. The biscuit was amazing a hint of sugar, crunchy on the outside moist and buttery inside. I even went and ordered a second one since I liked it so much!! Definitely recommend! read more

This place is just great. I don't give 5 stars until I've been to a place several times. I've had 5 star service and coffee / food on every visit. The coffee is as good as I've had anywhere. Their biscuits are top notch. Seriously, amazing biscuits. My favorite is with PB and honey. Already looking for an excuse to be in their neighborhood again soon so I can stop by. read more

My new favorite coffee spot. It reminds me of blue bottle coffee in NYC! Staff is excellent. Coffee is to die for. The biscuits are unbelievably! Do not leave without having one!!!! read more

I went back to Raleigh for a visit as an NCSU alum. Glad this wasn't here when I went there solely because I would have spent all my money here. Super delicious food and coffee! read more

Jubala Coffee - Almond latte and cinnamon waffle! Yum!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I just don't understand the hype. $10 for two ice coffees is a bit much and they were small cup. I know. I know. Mom and pop vs Starbucks always has higher prices but the coffee isn't that great and they staff is a bit snobby. Don't deny it people! It's the truth. Go to deja brew instead. read more

I absolutely loved this place, it had such a cool vibe to it. My caramel latte was absolutely delicious as well as my blueberry waffle. I will indeed be back soon. read more

Obsessed with this coffee shop! My husband and I are looking at moving to Raleigh and we love trying different coffee shops. This was definitely one of our favorites! Their biscuits are to-die-for and their coffee is just as amazing. read more

I love all things Jubala! The aesthetics, the coffee, the sandwiches, the teas, desserts, vibes, and even the merch! Sadly the seats are very limited and this location particularly is pretty crowded all the time- thanks, WolfPack! I tried the turkey avocado sandwich recently, and it is soooo good! There's a kick to it, so be prepared for that. I typically shy away from turkey (I don't like the smell), but this sandwich was superb. It's not cheap, but I would definitely order it again the next time I'm there for lunch. I chose the side salad to pair with it, and the dressing was delicious. The almond latte from Jubala is my go-to. It never fails. read more

Well this review might be slightly biased because I am not a big fan of coffee shops, but my girlfriend is, so here I am. We came on a Sunday morning and seating was a little tricky as they don't have that many seats. The place was busy and very hippie-ish. We were seated at a long table that you share with other guests. You walk up and Order your coffee as well as your food and then they call out your name. We got some breakfast sandwiches on homemade sweet biscuits as well as some waffles. The breakfast sandwich was tasty, but especially the homemade biscuit. I had sausage, egg, and cheese, and it had the sweet and sour combination going on. The waffles were kind of forgettable, however. It's a nice little coffee shop, however I would definitely say it may be difficult to get a seat and the food at least was rather small portions. The price on everything seemed to be rather overpriced and I'm not necessarily rushing to get back. read more

Jubala Coffee - Sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

A friend suggested that my friend and I go here when we asked her what the best coffee in Raleigh was, and she was absolutely correct. I got a black coffee and my friend got a ham biscuit, and we enjoyed both. One thing, nobody tells you that the coffee is hot, so be careful when drinking it. Update: I just spilled coffee on myself, I am now a strong disbeliever in the power of coffee. I have sworn off drinking coffee for the rest of my life. read more

Raleigh, N.C. Came here for my morning latte. Total experience was just above average but granola was good. Latte had nice rich nutty flavor on top, but the rest of it below the froth layer was coffee flavored milk. Compare this with the downtown Bittersweet and you will see what I mean. Maybe the targeted customer here prefers a mild roasted caffeinated beverage. Definitely not a dark roast. Also they will never be sued for accidental scalding as the beverage is nowhere near was I consider 'Hot". Yeah I know there is, in some circles, the idea that maximum flavor is at a certain temperature. Am I the only one who appreciates a hot brew? The biscuits are good, but reminds me, in appearance and taste, of a scone. The apple butter topping is tasty, and nicely offsets the dryness of the scone, err biscuit. read more

I ordered an iced cortado with a slice of almond cake. The cortado was very good, strong and citrusy. Perfect amount of ice etc. The cake was not too sweet but very much like comfort food. Moist and nicely baked on the top. My wife got the chocolate chip cookie which I can guarantee used real butter. I also got a nice glass cup for just $6. Restaurant also has a great view of the NCSU bell tower. read more

I love everything about this place. The fact that they have all these equipment to brew different drinks, the menu is simple and not overwhelming, they bake biscuits thru out the day so you get fresh and not dry sweet biscuits, sandwiches taste great on perfectly size of bread, etc. They do take their job seriously here and it has not gone unnoticed on my end. read more

Sweet heavenly pimento cheese & bacon biscuit, oh how I adore thee! And your mochas too bc they're not too sweet. Score! I was stoked when I found out Jubala was opening a 2nd location on Hillsborough Street / NCSU campus. Located in the bottom of the Aloft hotel, there's a decent amount of street parking & a few spots in the garage behind it. The coffee shop is accessible from the street & inside Aloft, and there's a decent amount of seating inside as well as on the side patio. You might even get your hipster card punched here if you're lucky. :) Their espresso drinks are great bc they're not too sweet (think powdered mochas instead of syrupy mochas). And in the tiny glass windowed kitchen, they cook up some scratch-made biscuits. Top it with pimento cheese, hearty bacon, and a fried egg if you choose, and you'll have a mouthful of delightful breakfast sandwich. Yuuuuum. All in all, this is a great spot to snag a biscuit and coffee (the two will be ~$12). It's not the cheapest but it's definitely worth it! read more

I came here twice while I was in Raleigh. Their iced vanilla latte was really good but I wasn't a fan of their honey latte. The breakfast biscuit sandwiches are really good here. read more

Love, love, love everything about Jubala. The space is organic & welcoming, employees are efficient & friendly, & the food & coffee are amazing. My favorites: sausage breakfast biscuit, Nutella banana waffle, pimento bacon sandwich with arugula salad, the almond latte, & the vanilla latte. Prices are decent, especially given the portion size. Park in the aloft parking lot. read more

Jubala has become a favorite coffee shop for most Raleigh locals for a reason. They were among the first premium coffee shops to open and since the beginning have maintained a beautiful atmosphere, fantastic coffee, good food, and an environment that can foster good conversations or a strong focus on work. Their staff are experts in their craft and if you happen to strike up a conversation with one of them, they are bound to give you a great story. Highly recommend. read more

Update- No. What's going on? New management or owner? Counter staff lacking manners and basic cognition. Dry cappuccinos are a thing of the past. Music just a skosh too loud all the time- Perhaps a tactic to prevent lingering in what can be a very busy place. I'm breaking up with you, Jubala. We started off good but you've changed. I'm not up for it. Yes. Grad student and professor crowd. Reminds me of Inteligensia in the Chicago Loop. read more

I was impressed with clean and modern design Jubala has! Feels like a cool place to hang out. We tried the Coconut Latte (iced) and Salted Toffee and Chocolate Chip Cookie. Couldn't taste the coconut at all, but it was still a wonderful creamy/sweet type of iced coffee - my staple favorite :). The cookie came out beautifully toasty, A+, I wasn't expecting that! I would've gone for more toffee in it; though just as a warm chocolate chip cookie it already tastes good. Definitely interested in trying more from Jubala. read more

Jubala Village Coffee does it again with a beautiful new space across from the historic Bell Tower on Hillsborough Street, at The Loft. There's retail parking in the back and plenty of seating, and the always fresh Counter Culture coffee is spot on and delicious. Two high tech espresso machines, friendly and skilled baristas, and a selection of prime single origin beans and blends on tap for the brew bar add up to a truly great coffee experience. The wide open kitchen puts out some of the best biscuits and waffles in the area - don't miss the country ham and fried egg combo - and tasty sandwiches that hit the spot. Tea lovers will appreciate the selection as well, and folks who like it creamy but don't do dairy will find soy and almond alternatives here. read more

One of the best coffee shops in Raleigh. I love their vanilla latte as they make their own house made vanilla syrup. I've tried going there a few times to do some work but they get pretty busy!

Definitely much more convenient for me than the Lafayette village location. Parking is not ideal in either spot. But biscuits are just as good. Coffee is just as rich and flavorful.

Just an all-around great spot for coffee and biscuits. Love them. read more

The Hillsborough location of Jubala was just as good as the main location! I came here with some co-workers on a Sunday morning about 8:45am, before any semblance of a rush. We weren't able to find street parking per se, but there's a lot behind the building. The space is definitely smaller than the other location, but with less of a crowd, this wasn't much of a problem. As always, coffee is their main focus, so I ordered an iced coffee, and since this breakfast, their biscuits were on my mind. We find seats on the backside of the prep area, which was like a bar area, and really cool to see the inner workings of the front desk people. My SEC Biscuit comes out quickly, and just like in the other location, it's ridiculously good. Sweet biscuit, eggs over medium, salty sausage, Counter Culture coffee....ugh. So good. I want more now. We were in and out quickly, which made for a perfect breakfast. I love Jubala and will absolutely continue to come here when in Raleigh, because it's just awesome. Have no reservations about coming here and giving them your business. read more
