Long Story Short

Idle Hour Coffee in Downtown Raleigh is a cute neighborhood coffee shop with a modern, open concept interior and a picturesque patio. With a short, but solid coffee menu and a team of talented baristas who are absolute pros when it comes to latte art, Idle Hour is a great place for a quality cup of joe. Best part? They serve Tepuy sourdough donuts, which always pair nicely with a drink.

What’s to Love

  • Cute coffee shop with an adorable street-side patio
  • Tepuy sourdough donuts are especially delicious when fresh
  • Vietnamese coffee is a crowd favorite (and for good reason!)

Things to Note

  • Parking can be a challenge if you go during prime coffee hours
  • Open concept floor plan with limited seating means you won’t always find a place to sit
  • Some desserts are more style than substance
