Joe Van Gogh Cedar West — Restaurant in Raleigh

Barry, the guy here most days, is amazing. The coffee is great, and Barry is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The decor is simple and modern, and the shop feels very warm as a result. This is a great alternative to Dunkin, which is also in the area.

I've had a few pastries and have been impressed. They have a punch card to get free coffees and daily specials. They sell bags of their coffee as well, this month they are doing a special run where certain bags have the profit donated to charity for Christmas. Barry can tell you all about it.

I've started coming here a few times a week, if you're looking for good coffee and great service,...

As someone who as never been to a JVG store, I had no idea what to expect. I came in and was immediately greeted with a smile from Kayla, the barista behind the counter. She made two perfect recommendations, I ordered both and they were spot-on amazing. I watched her make my drink like a natural, perfect shots, quality latte foam and art. The shop was clean, colorful and quiet. Other customers came in and she was quick to help them while making small talk. She gave detailed flavor profiles on the roast and we talked all things coffee. I left caffeinated and happy. Very happy with this coffee shop and hope to come back soon. Would give 6 stars...

Believe it or not there’s a coffee shop in Raleigh with a latte that rivals Durham’s infamous Coco Cinnamon. Joe Van Gogh serves up extremely good coffee with equally exceptional customer service. The ten minute drive from downtown Raleigh is well worth it for short wait times, ample parking and expert, friendly baristas. Pastries are inoffensive but nothing to write home about; Brought in from another Joe Van Gogh location in the triangle, we taste the age just a little. A lovely little shop that serves up an extraordinary experience without the pretension; try the coffee here and you won’t want to go...
