Great local coffee shop where most of the business wheeling and dealing happens workday mornings . Great coffee, knowledgeable baristas, and a solid selection of breakfast and lunch snacks . My only ding against it is the early closing hours during the week and kind of odd weekend hours. But, still five stars since it’s hard to fault them not being open *every* time I want coffee.

The PERFECT eggnog latte!! Husband just brought home a blueberry danish and eggnog latte – this place has massively improved since the last time I had something from here (a few yrs ago but I live nearby). Too few coffee shops have seasonal eggnog, so Thank You! Cup-A-Joe + Eggnog = perfection.

Colby took our orders and she was so friendly and helpful. What a great little spot! Very cute with comic book themed things. Perfect place to sit and enjoy a coffee! Highly recommend.
And thank you, Colby for being so lovely to me and my grandmother!

The smell of coffee is great, the company is easy and the pull-aparts are yummy! Great coffee and conversation spot in Hillsborough, NC.

I could not recommend this coffee shop more! I’ve been going here since middleschool, I’m a sophomore in college now, and still when I’m home for breaks it’s my number one go-to spot. The coffee is amazing, they’re really good at balancing flavors in their lattes, and the cranberry orange muffin is just a delight. They also have a super friendly staff who clearly love what they do and it shows in what they make!

The hot chai latte was great and the cold brew was good also. There was limited indoor seating and two outdoor tables. They were pretty busy when we arrived so we had to wait for a table. Our drinks were made well despite the large quantity of drinks the barista was making.

Hillsborough’s fantastic local coffee shop. A great atmosphere and friendly employees. Their rice crispy treats and pastries are worth it.
They generally offer three rotating specials every couple of months. The flavors sometimes lean towards being more experimental or niche. I applaud and encourage them to continue as they are fun, and it’s exciting to see what is next along with the accompanying art work.
Which brings me to the only gripe I have to keep this from being five stars. The rotating specials are not always what my partner or I want/enjoy. I think it would be great if they offered a few standard specials that were always available for when the rotating ones do not appeal to a customer.
They do have a list of their syrups you can ask the cashier for, but figuring out your own flavor combination while the cashier and the line behind you waits is a little much- at least for me.

This coffee was shop warm, welcoming, and delicious. We had the vegan chocolate chip cookies which were SO good! We had a slight issue with our order, and the staff handled it kindly and generously. They have fun gifts and a seasonal display, overall such a lovely experience. There’s street parking and a lot about 5 minutes away, and plenty of tables to sit at.

Best coffee shop by far. I’ve been a regular for over 10 years. Their coffee is always good and their pastries are excellent. I would never choose some of the other options in town over them.
I have spent a lot of time watching interactions at Cup of Joe, and largely most people who complain about staff friendliness or issues with operations, are themselves the problem.

Nice establishment. The iced mocha is great and the staff is professional. A good, straightforward spot for your caffeine fix.
