Jubala Coffee

They have a great coffee selection, and I always get the oatmeal—it’s consistently a hit. My go-to drink is the almond latte, which is absolutely delicious. Today, I decided to try the pour-over coffee for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised. It had a natural sweetness to it, which I’ve never experienced in coffee before. I highly recommend it! The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the inconsistency with opening times. I’ve been here several times, both on weekdays and weekends, and even though the hours say they open at 7:00 AM, I’ve found myself (along with others) waiting outside past 7:05 while staff are inside. It’s not a huge deal—just a few minutes—but worth mentioning for fellow early birds. Overall, an awesome spot with excellent drinks and food!

Absolutely love this place! The people working here are incredibly friendly — everyone I interacted with was warm, welcoming, and kind. That alone made the visit special. I tried both the filter coffee and a pour-over, and everything was excellent. You can tell they care about quality here. I also had the chance to meet one of the roasting team — I believe his name was Shane. Super nice guy. He was in the roasting area when I asked if he was going to roast, and he said he’d be doing it tomorrow. That changed my entire plan! I was supposed to head to Charlotte after having coffee, but decided to stay in Raleigh just to come back tomorrow and watch the roasting process. I love coffee so much and want to learn more — even if it means sleeping in my car, it’s worth it to spend more time here. There’s just something special about this place. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys great coffee, friendly vibes, and wants a good spot to work or relax. 10/10 — thank you to the team, and wishing you all the best!

Having gone an innumerous amount of times over the past year, I can proudly say no other coffee shop does it better than Jubala. Their baristas are unparalleled. Their coffee is top tier. Their drop biscuits are delightful. And their seasonal drinks (shout-out to the tiramisu coffee) are a must have. Don't miss out on their free espresso Fridays!

Our iced lattes, blueberry muffins, and mini cookies were absolutely delicious, but what really made our first time experience here at Jubala was the SERVICE! Our cashier was very friendly and attentive, and after I made a casual mention of my husband’s birthday, she gave us his coffee at no charge. But that wasn’t all - we were shocked and delighted when we received our muffin order and one of them had a lit birthday candle in it and we got an extra birthday wish from the team!! This small gesture absolutely made his morning and I am so grateful to the Jubala North Hills team for their thoughtfulness! 10/10 highly, highly recommend!!!

Very friendly staff and great customer service! The specialty coffees are amazing! I did not know that coffee could have so many flavors or taste so good without sugar or milk. My cortado was delicious, would have liked to have sparkling water with it. I’d have to order it separately next time. They do have an amazing deal on Fridays for FREE espresso shots with new flavors each week. Great way to get your coffee fix! Also, saw a few booster seats as well for those ma with kids.

This location never cooks their bacon thoroughly. It’s soft and rubbery and 50% of it is pure fat. I’ve ordered a sandwich and a biscuit and it’s come that way both times. Their biscuits and waffles are not what they used to be. They seemed to change the biscuit recipe and the waffle I ordered was dry and hard. Gave it a second chance after the first experience because I used to love their food, but their food seems to be poor quality now. Their employees also seem miserable which doesn’t create a pleasant experience either. I can’t speak for the other locations as I haven’t been in a bit, but I won’t be returning to this location.

This is my place to chill and relax after work or on my days off. I go here almost every other day. I gave this place another try after an unexpected experienced few months ago and it never disappoints me again and they truly deserve a 5-star. This place is like an extension of my home for a great cup of coffee. I fell in love so bad with their spring latte. Service is always top-notch and excellent. Very welcoming, hospitable and they always wear a gorgeous smile. I never had a bad coffee here, they always maintain high quality coffee in every sip. Even food is delicious!

Nice atmosphere and coffee was delicious. I had ordered sea salt caramel latte and ham and cheese sandwich. I didn't really care for the sandwich really bc it was too salty for me. Overall I would come back but order a different sandwich. Staff was really nice!

Coffee is in me! Lovely place to finish the afternoon on Sunday! Coffee was great and service was lovely. Seems a good place to work as well. Many people with their computers. Come, check it out! Happy coffee time!

Busy but excellent and worth it. Jubala was recommended by a friend from the area and based on this recommendation she hit a home run. There's the typical order at the counter, take a number and be seated ordering process so nothing exciting there. The lady that took our order was really nice and helpful. We opted for country ham and cheese biscuit, toasted chipeas on toast and a honey latte. The honey latte and chickpeas on toast are worth going back for. The biscuits were good but I think everyone expects a little something different than what is served. I think it's a little bit of a cross between a plain scone and biscuit. The country ham and cheese biscuit was just okay. A little pricey for what it was. The chickpeas and toast was busting with flavors and very filling. There's not only toasted chickpeas but also tahini and olive oil. Both tasted very high quality. Overall, great experience and I'll probably go back today for the honey latte and chickpeas and toast. Like I mentioned the place was super busy so not the typical quiet coffee house vibe but great for conversation alongside really good food and coffee.

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at this coffee shop! Located in the charming North Hills neighborhood with convenient free parking, it's easy to get to and offers a welcoming atmosphere. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a cozy, minimalist design that immediately set a warm, inviting tone. One of the first things I noticed was the lively chatter of people enjoying their coffee, a mix of different types of customers, which gave me the impression that this place truly caters to everyone. It's the kind of place where you feel at home, no matter who you are. The baristas were friendly and efficient, and I especially appreciated how quickly our drinks were delivered directly to our table. I ordered a cortado, and it didn't disappoint. The coffee was clearly made with a lighter roast, which was a refreshing choice, and the flavors were smooth and well-balanced. Our group tried a variety of drinks, and we all left satisfied. The latte art was a nice touch, elevating the experience even more. Don't miss out on the pastries, either! The banana Nutella waffle was a standout - indulgent and delicious. If you find yourself in the Raleigh area, make sure to stop by Jubala. You won't regret it - it's a fantastic spot for great coffee, a cozy atmosphere, and a bit of sweetness to brighten your day.

Great for a weekend brunch. The chai latte was spicy and comforting. Loved the outdoor seating area

Perfect for a casual meet-up. The mocha was deliciously chocolatey. Staff were attentive and polite

Great coffee and location in North Hills. I recommend trying the BEC biscuit and subbing for the pimento cheese. That with a cold latte will hit the spot. The space large and bright so it's also a great place to telework.

I came here for lunch with my family. The cafe itself was pretty busy and loud but luckily we found a table. I ordered the turkey avocado sandwich and it was really good. It had a lot of flavor and the bread was nicely toasted. I also tried some of their chai latte which was delightful. Although I liked my meal, my sisters didn't like theirs because the bread on their sandwich was hard and cold. The food was pretty pricy too, so they were disappointed about that as well. Overall, I enjoyed the food and drinks, but they were pretty pricy so I don't know if I'd come back. Also, the side "salad" was just greens and nothing else. I think it would've been better if it had other vegetables mixed in.

Atmosphere: Jubala Coffee's North Hills location has a decent amount of seating, but it can fill up quickly especially during the morning/brunch hours! We didn't find any outlets available in the main seating area, so be aware of that if you're planning on having a work session in the cafe. Service: The baristas were nice and they brought out our drinks relatively quickly, despite the cafe being quite crowded on a Sunday afternoon. Food: We ordered their Campfire Mocha and Sea Salt Caramel Latte. The Campfire Mocha was toasty, sweet, and tasted like an elevated hot chocolate. The Sea Salt Caramel Latte actually lived up to its name and was pleasantly salty. It was also creamy and not too sweet! Overall: Jubala's North Hills location is popular for a reason--the friendly atmosphere and nice selection of coffees make for a fun visit. It can get a bit overwhelming inside, and the lack of ample outlets make it a difficult place to work or study; however, we'd definitely recommend Jubala as a place to grab coffee or a bite with friends!

Sub par experience today. And the average experience here continues on a downward path. Coffee not up to even their standards. They forgot to put blueberries on my order though it was a paid for add in. I had to drive back as it was a take out. Food laying on counter not bagged. Yuck Side of bacon stone cold. 17.00 later with free attitude And people ignoring me when I stood at the counter obviously needing help. No home training. They used to be great but in their way to losing the essence of a third wave local establishment. I guess taking in the bucks comes first.

I've spent time at this coffee shop twice now and have had pleasant experiences. The chai tea is delightfully spicy with an excellent amount of foam. The frisee aux lardons salad is also excellent! They also have sandwiches, waffles, and other breakfast and lunch goods. My orders have come out quickly, delivered to my table. Bonus: they use real cups and plates unless you have a to go order. The space is modern, comfortable, and rather compact. The shop does get busy. Sometimes there's a line to order and wait to snag the next table. The coffee shop also roasts its own beans, adding a lovely aroma to the air. There is machine noise, which I think adds to the ambiance. Because of these last reasons, If you are looking for a quiet place, I'd suggest going elsewhere. There is limited parking right outside and a lot of space in the deck in the same building. I highly recommend this chill coffee shop!

Jubala is a local coffee shop with many locations in the triangle. I frequent this location often for meetings and remote work. They have options for indoor and outdoor seating. Now this location is consistently busy so try to visit during off peak times. So this isn't a place to go to is you're looking for a quiet environment. And the Wi-Fi is spotty as well. The coffee is always consistent. My favorite is the draft vanilla pat latte. Their fresh dropped biscuits are great too! Plenty of free parking which is a plus. And there are other businesses within walking distance worth checking out as well.

I love a skim milk chai latte and always order it when I go to a coffee shop. My first visit to this Jubala 2 months ago provided one of the best Chai lattes I've ever had. I was excited for second visit yesterday. Unfortunately, this recent Chai Latte that had so much spice that it "burned" my throat. One of the staff was awesome and she told me they usually do 50-50 chai to milk split. She volunteered to bring me a to go cup with some steamed milk for me to add the "over spiced" drink into. It helped a lot but spice was still too much- that's how strong it was. I've added another point to the review for the staff, plus, I ordered a skim vanilla latte that was delicious. We were seated at a table outside Jubala in the beautiful Fall weather. All of a sudden a sound and then a bunch of ash sprinkled on us and our table. I looked up to see 2 open ended pipes coming off the building. A few minutes later came a burned coffee smell. Never seen anything like it. If you sit outside, I'd recommend tables to the left of the front door. I will try the chai latte another time as my first was so good and ask them to ensure 50-50 split.

The rumors are true: this is the best coffee in Raleigh! I got an iced vanilla oat milk latte (and I do believe they make their own vanilla and almond syrups!!!) and boy did I chug it. It was $5.96... and any time a latte is UNDER $6 (impossible at Starbucks when ordering with milk alternative), it's a win in my book. The gentleman taking my order was so kind. For a Friday morning, it was crazy loud to get work done, but the coffee is worth it. I promise you.

Jubala never disappoints! When I lived in Raleigh, I always went to the Hillsborough St. location, so I was happy to see they have a North Hills location now. Love the inside, so cozy & welcoming. The nutella & banana waffle & latte combo is my go-to & I have to say I am still happy with my choice! Friendly employees & easy online ordering & pick up.

I come to this location often, recently I've noticed the quality in food and drink has gone down. I was really excited about the new summer food item only to find this when I opened up my box.

This place is always busy and for good reason. The coffee is great and the service can match.

Best coffee shop ever! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone. You may need to order ahead because it's not a secret how great this coffee is.

Loved everything about my experience here on a Monday morning - friendly staff, good seating area, and a nice time with my girlfriend! Iced Vanilla Latte - 9.5/10 Country ham egg and cheese sandwich on biscuit - 10/10 (best breakfast sandwich I've ever eaten) Will be back!

Excellent coffee! Probably the best iced mocha I have ever had. Very minimalist decor, which is not my favorite. I did like that they have good grab and go options, as well as water available for customers.

Very solid drip and cold brew coffee, pleasant cashiers, nice setting with lots of seating, and the biscuits are excellent (really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich - bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit).

The iced coffee here tasted like stale coffee that someone left in the refrigerator overnight. Not the same stuff they serve at the Hillsborough Street location, but they do charge the same price.

The service is amazing...it's THE BEST coffee ever...and the food is Delightful! I've literally never had a bad thing here.

Very delicious draft lattes, seasonal drinks, and food items! Truly love the vibe and accessibility to mobile orders.

The egg & cheese was dry and the egg was really loose(not cooked enough). Coffee was good...just stick to the coffee though.

Stopped in at the new Jubala Coffee spot last weekend on a Sunday morning around 10. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived so we were able to easily walk up and order and find a spot to sit. I got the bacon egg and cheese biscuit with a dirty chai latte. The biscuit was soooo good and the bacon egg and cheese was a nice addition. The egg was over ease which I wasn't expecting but didn't mind. I would totally get a biscuit again and maybe try some of the jams or other topping. The dirty chai lacked a bit of flavor compared to some I have had before but was still good! Will definitely be back to Jubala :)

Jubala has great food and drinks!!! It was $14 for my biscuit sandwich and coffee which is a tad expensive, but it tasted great! It is pretty busy on weekend mornings, but we didn't end up waiting for too long and the coffee was up pretty fast! Their wifi isn't great so not the BEST place to work but if you're looking for a coffee shop vibe where you don't need wifi, this is a great spot & just what North Hills needed!

You wont find a better staff at any coffee shop anywhere. These people KNOW coffee and do it very well. Not Jubala's fault, but I really wish North Hills had more outdoor seating options besides the pavilion area. If you're hoping to enjoy the weather and have a table to sit outside, maybe check out Jubala's Hillsborough St or Lafayette Village locations.

I just finished brunch and had a craving for coffee. I wanted to try something different and do something local. I ordered an almond latte and an espresso shot. My order was presented so cutely! On a small board like a charcuterie board, the shot was accompanied by a shot of sparkling water. Once again, too cute! I had an almond latte for the first time, and it was lite, sweet, and just right.

Probably one of my favorite coffee spaces. Designed beautifully and the coffee is great. Staff is always so friendly. Knocking a star off because they seem to have wifi issues pretty regularly. Every time I've come here there's been an issue with the wifi...bummer when I want to work during the day. Other than that, once they get that squared away, it'll be perfect!

We really enjoyed our breakfast here. Many coffee and food choices, pleasant service. Coffee roasted on the premises. A great place to chill for a while.

The coffee is good and the space is gorgeous! Jubala is a nice addition to North Hills.

My favorite Jubala location by a landslide. The staff is friendly, the space is always clean, the wifi is great, and the food and drink are delicious as always! Love having access to the green area by the coffee shop on a weekend but the interior is spacious for working solo or a meeting too. Don't miss the cookie--best in town!

Iced vanilla latte was good...but only three sips and it was gone. Extremely small portion sizes, or maybe there was too much ice and not enough room for coffee. I also tried the egg and cheese biscuit and it was not my cup of tea either. Biscuit was sweet and I didn't even want to finish it. Gave the place three stars bc I liked the environment. Unfortunately it wasn't enough for me to return.

Had lunch a few times now and every time my made -to-order biscuit is absolutely delicious. If you plan on doing work here, keep in mind the wifi is terrible and hotspot reception isn't that great either for some reason. Service is always quick and friendly! Free espresso on Fridays

Coffee was average, food is good, staff has been short and rude each time I've been (3 times). If you aren't a fan of Starbucks this is a good place to go in North Hills but if you like Starbucks you could also just go there and get the same experience. Only thing that sets it a little bit above is the food.

The biscuits are amazing, I'm not a coffee drinker but the tea was so delicious I didn't even need a sweetener. The tea was also served at the perfect temperature hot enough to be hot tea; warm enough to drink.

Great coffee and drinks but nothing vegan and gluten free on menu. Hope they get some better choices as I would like to be able to frequent this spot.

I'm not a Starbucks fan so on my recent visit to the area, in search of a GOOD cup of coffee, I found this place. They're so working through opening hiccups, like most companies these days, hiring is a great need. But oh, the coffee...hot and delicious! What more can you ask!

Jubala is hands down my favorite coffee shop for so many reasons. First, the quality of both the coffee and food are consistently excellent. The North Hills location of Jubala is the last to open, and is one of three. What is amazing about Jubala is that despite the fact that there are three locations, and that the first one was opened more than a decade ago, both food and coffee have continued to be remarkable. This is due to the owner's single minded dedication to the stores and its employees. During a time when restaurants are losing servers and continue to be short staffed, Jubala distinguishes itself in having retained its employees. The result is a well seasoned staff that feels a strong sense of ownership. The coffee bean they use is excellent, and the coffee is made well by those seasoned baristas. The bread for the sandwiches is made by Raleigh's Boulted bread, and the biscuits and waffles are made in-house. The ingredients for the whole menu are locally sourced and have been vetted repeated by the owner himself. Even the potato chips and/or salad that come with the sandwiches are excellent. My favorite thing to order for breakfast is a biscuit with egg and country ham. These biscuits are not your classic southern biscuits, rather they're "drop" biscuits so they have more of a bread consistency. You can order the eggs however way you like them, but I prefer mine over easy so that when I take my first wonderful bite, the yoke runs through the biscuit. It's delicious. For my coffee, I order a cappuccino which I almost never do in other coffee shops. For those of you cappuccino lovers out there, it's a struggle to find a coffee shop that delivers the correct ratio of coffee to milk. Many coffee shops will increase the size of your cappuccino order by adding milk but no extra shots of espresso, thereby diluting the cappuccino to something closer to a cafe au lait. I never have to worry about that at Jubala. My cappuccino is perfect every time. If I'm not in the mood for a full heavy breakfast, I order the Belgian waffles. They are wonderful (sense a theme here?). You can order a plain waffle, or have things added to it such as Nutella, or apple compote, etc. Some of these additions are seasonal so don't be surprised if they disappear. You honestly can't go wrong whatever you choose. For lunch, my favorite sandwich is the the turkey with Avocado. It's served warm with crispy bread, and just the right amount of condiments. Yummm! Finally, it's worth mentioning that Jubala is locally owned and run. The owner grew up right here in Raleigh, and so any profits made from Jubala go right back into our local community rather than a corporate headquarter somewhere else.

Good coffee great biscuits. Some outside seating would be nice, although North Hills has some benches nearby

omg i'm obsessed. the biscuits are insane, definitely recommend a bacon egg and cheese or a nutella waffle! omg also the avo & turkey sandwich is sooo yummy!! everyone is always so nice and ordering online makes it so easy. i'm easily in there at least once a week!
