This is absolutely my favorite place to get coffee in the Chapel Hill area. I'm a bit of a coffee snob and usually always go for the hot latte with oatmilk, and I haven't been disappointed yet. In terms of coffee places in chapel Hill this is my #1 thus far. The flavor of the coffee is always rich and it never tastes watered down. There is always a line on the weekends but there's plenty of space outside. The location is great, there are plenty of benches and small tables and chairs, even heated areas for when it can get cold. Parking can be full at times, they have a few food items but I usually come here for the coffee... In addition they have some indoor seating now as well.

Seek! This treasure is hidden. After finding a parking spot, (they have plenty of parking)I walked around the building closest to the road. That's NOT the coffee shop. You have to walk to the back of the property. Definitely worth the seek and find adventure. I ordered a Dirty Chai Latte and a Pumpkin bar. The Chai is nice and smooth, not really strong or spicy. It's made in house and not from a mix. This is how I prefer my Chai. The Pumpkin bar is amazing! Not overly sweet and compliments the Chai perfectly! I couldn't really taste the espresso in the Chai, however, just makes me want to return to try just the coffee. Stop by today and find the treasure today!

I visited the cafe for the first time today. I ordered the brown sugar latte and a butter croissant. The coffee was okay, the butter croissant was kind of hard (surprisingly hard and borderline scone like), the service was good even if the wait was long, and the outdoor seating was pretty cool even if was too cold to sit outside this day. There are heaters outside but they didn’t warm me up enough on this cold day, so I headed back inside. There isn’t a lot of seating inside, so inside seating likely will not always be an option. Even with the coffee just being okay and the croissant being bad, I give them 4 stars because of uniqueness of the cafe and the outside setting.

5.5/10 Would come back to walk and get an OK cup of coffee, but not if there is a line. Coffee was pretty good, but if there is a line, don't wait. Stood around for about 45 minutes with the better half to wait out the line and try this place out. Even on a Thursday around noon, the staff was inundated with orders and doing their best. They were almost sold out of their Bavarian baked goods, but their lunch options were still available, and very appetizing. Come for the atmosphere and a good walk. Hopefully I caught them on an off day. They offer heated seating areas in the winter, as well as complimentary blankets for those who get cold sitting outside.

There is nothing I can say that would really depict the beauty of this place. For the crowds they probably draw, I would hope for more baked good options with dietary restrictions but I did have a gluten free pumpkin bar and it was melt in your mouth delicious especially with the oats beneath the soft pumpkin topping… The drink was good too, I enjoyed it. I had brought my son and he was ready to go to an indoor park otherwise I would have brought my laptop and stayed longer. Here you’ll be walking amongst fairies and transport to another little world here, privacy is an option and being in nature and having yummy treats all at the same time.

So many coffee shops come down to one thing, a thing that’s difficult to define or measure and has nothing to do with the quality of the coffee: vibe. On vibe alone, Caffé Driade is five stars. And to solidify its rating, the espresso is rich, the baked goods are fresh and delicious, and the service is kind and timely. There are plenty of seating options around the cafe, affording customers the opportunity to be among the bustle of orders being made or further into the woods for a more serene experience. At the time of my visit, it was a balmy summer day. Had it been a cool fall day, I would have brought a book and stayed for hours.
