Cup-A-Joe

I had a great oat milk latte, it was so good. The froth was thick, and the espresso was wasnt acidic and smooth. I was even surprised to see a chocolate chip vegan cookies, so I ordered 2 for my husband and I, they were bomb! I love that they had a selection of retail coffee related items for sale. Even cooler to see a selection of comic books for sale. There is more seating than you think is possible and I suspect Cup-of-Joe's is a popular place amongst locals and visitors. As a chef, I do wonder why a coffee shop has a health grade of 97 but nonetheless it is still an A grade. I will return again and grab some whole beans for home.Dietary restrictions: Vegan cookies for the win! They alos have Dairy-free milk options

Great local spot for delicious coffee and morning treats. I like the staff and the energy. Very delicious and high quality. It gets crowded, but folks are nice and friendly letting you squeeze in.Dietary restrictions: I got the gf no wheat pistachio balls which were yummy

Cup-A-Joe is the only real coffee shop in Hillsborough, but stands up well against good independent coffee shops anywhere. The staff are knowledgeable about coffee and friendly even during busy times. Their pastry selection often goes early in the day. They generally serve pastries, cookies, and biscotti's and occasionally more substantial food, so if you're looking for breakfast or lunch you might have to go elsewhere. However, the coffee is good enough that often we will pick up coffee here and go get food elsewhere. For lunch, coffee here and Steve's down the street is a good combination.

Great coffeeshop with puzzling hours. The shop is often full to bursting when they close, suggesting that they would continue to be full if they stayed open past 3pm.

I've been coming here for years. Often on a weekly basis. They always have baked goods and have been carrying strong arm bakery (Oxford, NC) items for a while now. Love those cinnamon pullaparts with my cup a joe!

I wanted to get to-go and it was my first time. They take your order at the door. I got a sugar free vanilla latte with almond milk And a morning harvest muffin. The associate described the muffin as “like a carrot cake with carrots and raisins “. He was right AND it was delicious! I spent $7.82 and they didn’t give me an option to tip.

My wife and I came here for the first time on a rainy day. Parking was not easy, we parked in the back. There is an back entrance to this place i didn’t know about.The coffee was good, but pricey, many single people on there phones or tablets sitting at a table for 4. There should be more tables for one or two people. The outside area looks nice. Wall art had some interest.

We are so happy to have this wonderful coffee shop in Hillsborough. During COVID they have adapted, their new app is easy to use and you simply pick up out front.Great mango smoothies for the kids, latte and cookies for mom!Thanks for plowing through this year and keeping the coffee flowing.

Caramel Latte was delicious. I don’t like it too sweet and they were right on the money with just enough to still enjoy the espresso. Also, very friendly staff. I chatted with them for about 10 min just taking a break on my road trip.

A salty chocolate chip cookie was definitely the best choice this AM with an iced latte. Friendly staff, great coffee, awesome baked goods. What’s not to love?

My wife and I hung out in here during a day trip to Hillsborough. This is a great place to get work done or to hang out with friends. On a nice day you can enjoy outdoor seating on the sidewalk.If you know the Cup-A-Joe by NC State, know that this is nothing like it. This one feels very modern and open. They are both great, but I was surprised at how different this was.

With table outside and no menu, the young man let us know in order to view the menu we had to download an app *sigh* ...or call ahead We sat at the outside patio area and ordered through the app. They brought it out to the table and called out names per the order. Nice and corona friendly. Unique drink - matcha and eggnog (matcha wasn't mixed well and too much foam on top) overall taste decent to try again. Chai latte was tasty

It's a quaint place with tables and chairs filling the main area. Also seating outside either side of the entry door. I chose to sit on the bar stools along the front windows for the warm sunshine. It was late morning on a Tuesday, a couple days after Christmas. The place was full of people but they seemed to handle it well.They had several choices for goodies but I do wish they had a lot more bakery items to choose from.The chocolate, chocolate chip muffin I had was wonderfully soft and delicious. I also sprung for a gingerbread latte. I found this to be slightly on the sweet side. Of course that's my taste being that I prefer a little sweetness. I will probably get an extra shot of espresso next time. Yum!I'll be back!!

I've been there about 12 times in the last few weeks and feel qualified to give a review.I haven't tried any of the 'food' though. It's insanely expensive.The latte isn't bad and the staff mildly polite. I don't need to be best friends with them but I'm very unlikely to even consider a tip for that kind of service. I'd keep going though. There's lots of room for improvement when it comes to hospitality though. They don't even say 'thank you' when they take your money or give you your drink.

One of the best place in Hillsborough for coffee. Staff is always ready to go above and beyond to help you.

The cappuccinos are awesome! One of my favorite places to get coffee in the area, I stopped here every time I'm passing through.

Nice place, creative specials. Loved all the drinks I’ve ordered. Always have more and more interesting menu items. Super bummed they close at 3 though, I’m often in the area wanting to go grab some coffees, but seem to always miss them more than I’d like bc they close so early. Would be wonderful if they consider staying open later, I think the business would be there as I’ve heard from other folks saying the same, that it’s too bad they close so early.

Today was the first time I visited Cup-A-Joe and it won’t be the last! I visited based on recommendations from friends and I’m glad I did. The people were friendly, but more importantly, the coffee was fantastic. I had a peppermint mocha, 1/2 caf with skim milk, and it was very smooth and not overdone with peppermint (other coffee shops I’ve been to have bitter and overly strong coffee for me). I also had the blueberry scone and it was perfect. It was the perfect breakfast! I look forward to returning.
