This experience here was so wonderful, the service was stellar. The girl who took my order was so personable I wish I got her name to shout her out. My coffee was lovely. I came a bit too late to try the breakfast items but will definitely give it a try next time!

Road trip to Raleigh, and stopped in on a Saturday morning looking for good coffee and a bite to eat: we won on this! Outstanding coffee, best we've had in a while. Breakfast sandwich and hashbrown was the perfect combo and was so delicious. This crew knows exactly what they are doing and do it well! Amazing atmosphere, perfect morning to sit on the sidewalk tables. This will be our go-to coffee shop any time we are in Raleigh! HIGHLY recommended!

Coming to The Left Hook is officially a staple Raleigh experience! Incredible coffee and even better people. I am lucky enough to live in walking distance and have been coming since the doors opened early 2024. You can tell by briefly chatting with the founder Kristin how carefully crafted each drink is; and of course the coffee speaks for itself! Whether you’re out on a bike ride, just driving through town, or a local looking for the next go-to cappuccino in Raleigh, you have to stop here. 🙌☕️ On top of that, their classic breakfast sandwiches (I love the bacon, egg and cheese + a hashbrown) or breakfast burrito are filling enough for a grab and go breakfast.

I’m thrilled that a new local coffee shop has opened next to NC State!! I discovered The Left Hook Coffee because it’s right next to my favorite brunch spot—what a lucky find! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. (They have pictures of their regulars' pets on the fridge, so make sure to look for the lowkey cat!🐈) I tried the iced latte and hot Americano, and both were fantastic.

Cool lounge-type place built into an apartment complex around corner from NC state. About 7 tables (3 high, 2 booths, 2 for lounge chairs) for gathering, they block off some of the restaurant area during the day. Good light, across from residential. Maple cinnamon latte is awesome 10/10. Americano solid too.
