Downtown Raleigh Coffee Stroll

Gertrude Stein once said, “Coffee is a lot more than just a drink; it’s something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup.”

In collaboration with Greg Whitt:

In this experience, Greg will meet you in front of Marbles Kids Museum right in front of Moore Square to begin this relaxing and delicious exploration of Raleigh’s downtown coffee scene. You’ll learn about the history of the city, both general & coffee related, tour the downtown area walking in & out of local coffee shops to talk with baristas and nerd out on coffee roasts along with the downtown coffee culture.

Regular stops on this stroll may include A place at the Table, the Bean Sprout Cafe, Videri Chocolatier, Raleigh Raw, Sir Walter Coffee, 42 and Lawrence and others, but the tour is a little different each time depending on timing, guest interest and the weather.

*Coffee tastes are provided, but definitely bring some spare cash in case you spy something unique you would like to try for yourself!
