Here are the top seven coffee shops in Holly Springs, NC! 

Thanks A Latte Coffee and Gift Boutique 

Thanks A Latte was opened in 2013 on a whim, and we're so thankful it did. It is family owned and came to fruition when deciding on their next journey and business venture. They now have a location in both Holly Springs and Angier. They take pride in being family oriented and providing a welcoming space for all customers to grab a quick coffee or stay and enjoy the environment while getting work done or relaxing. 

Something unique and special that Thanks A Latte offers is a prayer request. They have a little book by the register where you can write down your prayer request or an online form you can fill out. This simple act shows their love for their community and customers. 

Their drink menu consists of "the basics," "not coffee," and house lattes. If your visit in-store, you can also browse their gist boutique while enjoying your coffee. For on-the-go and at home, you can order coffee in a jar; all you have to do is call the morning before! Here are the options for coffee in a jar:

Ashley's Harvest Moon Bakery 

Customers at Ashley's Harvest Moon Bakery describe them as "the best coffee shop in town and one of the best in RTP!". If that doesn't prove it, then I don't know what does.

They also serve breakfast and lunch at Harvest Moon.

They also have Belgian waffles, oatmeal, toast, fruit and yogurt parfaits, and more!

The cakes at Fera'wyn's are one of a kind and delicious!

Five Star Coffee Roasters 

If you enjoy making your coffee at home and have been looking for the perfect coffee beans, consider Five Star Coffee Roasters! Customers say it's the best coffee ever, and that's due to their dedication and love for the coffee-making process.

The Mill 

Although The Mill is in Fuquay-Varina, it is close enough to Holly Springs for residents to stop by and try it out! The space here has made it a prime destination for family and friends to gather and meet up for a cup of coffee, beer, or wine! 

Their coffee is supplied through a local roaster, Joe Van Gogh, and it is delicious! They serve drip, pour-over, french press, espresso drinks, specialty lattes, chai, and others! One of the best specialty lattes is the Turtle, made with caramel, chocolate, and hazelnut syrups. It's also the perfect spot for remote work while enjoying a coffee.
