Reviews For Global Village Organic Coffee

Excellent coffee close to NCSU campus and plenty of other quality businesses on Hillsborough. Service is always friendly and helpful. The coffee itself is my favorite, at least on Hillsborough (and that's saying a lot with Cup A Joe and Jubala nearby) — you can always taste multiple flavor notes from their espresso drinks, it's never just sugar, milk, or (god forbid) a burnt coffee taste that dominates the drink. The atmosphere is brilliant! The staff are so kind and people of all ages and careers come through to use the space for work or study. UPDATE: I had previously posted this review with the only complaint being that the outlets for people using laptops were quite limited. Since that review, new outlets and extension cords have been added. The whole place got a makeover as well, and the decorations are much more in agreement with the theme of a Global Village. I love this shop, have been a regular since 2022, and it's only gotten better since then!

Let me tell you a lil story - I am pulling out the panini to take pics for a review. It’s delicious. The ONLY suggestion I’d make is for it to have some sort of balsamic glaze / dressing. A few bites later, I find some balsamic glaze something. Great place, great coffee! Super nice employees, SUPER COVID SAFE, and wholesome!

Came at 3 PM on a Friday to get a decaf drink. Their Cafe Ceylon special (cardamom white chocolate latte) is one of the best sweet drinks I've had at a coffee shop. So good!

Best coffee and baristas ever. Global village will always have a sweet spot in my heart, not just for the products but for the nostalgia. I love this place and I'm sure you'll love it too. It was my first stop being going to work every day. Best mornings started with this place.

Great and quiet college coffee shop. Kind staff and amazing coffee. Try a cafecito, it's like a frothy sweetened espresso shot and it's awesome.

I have visited Global Coffee a few times since meeting up with a friend and it is definitely my favorite coffee shop! I love the cozy ambience, friendliness of the staff, and delicious menu offerings! Thank you for always being so courteous and helpful!

A wonderful little coffee spot with a charming character and clean interior. Different types of seating options for various groups. The music is just the right mixture of tunes and the volume set just right. I got a Golden Milk Latte (a tumeric infused latte), a Caffe Saigon (a Vietnamese coffee), and a caprese sandwich. They pressed the sandwich heating it up and toasting the bread, a nice addition. All the food served is made by the kitchen staff and not brought in, in accordance to the friendly woman at the register whose name I was too rude to ask. Update: Went back again and the staff were just as wonderful as the last time. I ordered a Sunflower milk mocha, which was out of this world. Who would have thought you could make "milk" from sunflowers. Also interesting point, their chocolate is dairy free.
