A coffee shop in a child's play place? Yup. And amazingly good espresso and coffee! Want an espresso? Go here. Period. We were visiting this area, and lamenting the lack of a coffee shop to fuel us for the drive back to Raleigh, when someone pointed use here. I honestly felt like it was going to be more adventure than enjoyment, and after figuring out which door to go in, my mind wasn't changed. It was pretty empty, but great seating and fun country-home decor. The gal running the place was passionate about her coffee. My companion got a drink off the menu, and I watched her grind and fuss over it to get it just right. When it came to my turn, I asked her to make me her favorite. I was not disappointed! The perfect shot of hazelnut flavor, and a smooth carmely bean and I was wishing I could be a better expert so that I could do this review justice! read more

Updated review: I have been here twice in the past month during what should be regular operating hours (9:00am and 9:30am weekdays). Both times they were closed. There are no posted hours on the door and the sign says "closed". I can only guess that the business has closed permanently. If not, I would still not recommend them due to the erratic and uncertain operating hours. There's nothing worse than stopping at a place which should be open and find out it's closed. read more

See all

This place is only open on a Thursday for a couple of hours and closed the rest of the week, I find that strange for a coffee shop, I had a cinnamon bun flavored coffee which was Delicious, I need a coffee shop that's open everyday read more

Hard to find and not worth the search. It's a cool concept. A coffee shop attached to a kids play area called The Hive. The address is confusing with a map app. The latte and cappuccino were identical and neither was a latte or a cappuccino. One was super hot and one was barely warm. Bathrooms needed a scrub. A great idea, but poorly executed. read more

(1) Does anyone have a photo of or information on their new weekday and weekend hours? The hours currently listed are incorrect. They're under new ownership, I believe. (2) Does anyone know of any other nearby and nice coffee shops, in this same general area, that open earlier in the day/morning? (3) Last question: Do they have chai tea lattes and soy milk? I prefer the taste of soy to almond. :) Thank you! Any answers would be much appreciated. And now they'll be visible, here, for others to see. read more

Came in with high hopes based on previous reviews and was rather disappointed. They were out of almost every flavor I asked for so they probably should have updated their chalk menu board in the meantime. They had zero pastries or any other food to offer so I wasn't able to eat. As a barista myself, I am very familiar with how an espresso machine should be cared for and what goes into a quality latte. I could see before my drink was made that the steam wand was still dirty from the last drink, and it wasn't cleaned after mine was made either. I ordered an eggnog latte with 4 shots of espresso. Instead of refilling with fresh ground for the second set of shots, she just pressed the button again and reused the old grounds, which poured into a dirty measuring cup. I was also disappointed the eggnog was a syrup instead of actual eggnog. Didn't taste much like eggnog and the espresso was bitter. It was drinkable if you need the caffeine and probably the only place in town. As another reviewer mentioned, it is a bit hard to find if you aren't from in town because there are no signs for it. I gave 2 stars only because the lady who helped us was very nice and polite. read more

In the area for work and was craving iced coffee and wanted to stop by a local place so I stopped by. It was a little hard to find with my phone's GPS, it's kind of tucked away and it's connected to a kid's play area, not sure what it was all about, don't have kids so I didn't wander over there. The coffee shop is really cute, I love how it's decorated. It has lots of really comfy seating and the employee was super friendly and made my drink quickly. Not an overwhelming amount of options but they had just what I like (white mocha, not all places have it so that's what made me stop in), and the drink was yummy. Overall really enjoyed it and would stop in again. read more

Nectar Coffee Shop - Seating area next to the coffee area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rockingham, North Carolina

THE best coffee in Richmond County! Such a local hidden gem. Quality coffee you can't even compare the coffee to anything else in this area. So many flavors to choose from, They have 3 different milk options to choose. No there isn't a drive thru like Dunkin' Donuts but it's worth the walk inside guaranteed. read more

Local grown coffee, great service and excellent latte today. Staff with a great attitude

What a great business! Nectar Coffee Shop offers up high-quality coffee, excellent coffee drinks, and delicious homemade pastries (courtesy of Kool Kakes Bakery), among other things. It's a locally owned shop with plenty of personality and a very friendly staff. You can relax and enjoy your coffee and pastry in one of Nectar's cozy chairs, or you can order ahead with a larger pick-up order for your office. Either way, you will be glad you've found Nectar...and you will probably become one of their many, many regulars. read more

Friendly staff, great coffee. Only reason it's not a 5, is that it's essentially the front room/lounge for a tot-tumble indoor playhouse.

This place started out great. I've always been skeptical because it does not give you the feel a coffee shop should. Since Drew left a few years back, their drinks have not been consistent in flavor. Every time I'd get something, it would never taste the same way twice. I will still support it because it's a local business, however I wish they'd work on consistency. read more

Great stop to have a coffee and let the kiddos play. We stumbled across Nectar Coffee Shop and the Hive (an attached establishment) halfway between Grandma's house and ours on our way home. I agree that it was a little hard to find, but it was worth the effort. They have wonderful locally sourced coffee, but not much food. The barista recommended another locally sourced lunch place called '1/2 baked' so we went there and brought the food back to have our lunch, coffee, and let the kids play a little longer. Next time we'll get our food on the way in, as we 'accidentally' spent about 2 hours here. The kids weren't complaining! Everyone so was friendly and accommodating. The kids were thrilled with the play area in the Hive. We'll be back! read more
