Global Village on Hillsborough Street
Wed, 11/24/2010 - 08:50 — becktonjamesWhile I agree with most of the coffee shops on your list, a couple of old favorite coffee shops on the list have really fallen in quality and cleanliness.
Any discussion of a great shot of espresso, latte or simply a well brewed cup of coffee has to include Global Village.
Global Village consistently puts out one of the best cups of coffee in Raleigh, if you have not tried them yet, go down and visit Mike over the holidays when on street parking is plentiful.
