Krankies is a very cool space. The shop and roastery have a great atmosphere — industrial, open, and full of character. It feels like the kind of place where serious coffee is happening, and the roasting operation and selection of beans definitely reinforce that impression.
Unfortunately, my drinks didn’t quite live up to the promise of the space.
I ordered a small brown sugar iced latte, and it ended up feeling a bit flat. The espresso and the housemade flavor seemed to get lost, leaving the drink without the depth or complexity I was hoping for.
I also tried the iced matcha with honey, which was similarly underwhelming. Not bad by any means, just a little muted and less vibrant than expected.
That said, I’d absolutely be willing to come back and give Krankies another shot. Their selection of coffees looked fantastic, with a wide variety of roasts and flavor profiles available, and the roasting program clearly has a lot going for it. Next time I’d love to sit down, spend more time, and try one of their pour-overs, which feels like where their coffee might really shine.
Overall: great space, impressive coffee lineup — I just hope my next cup hits the mark a little better.

Stopped in here on a whim for coffee. Didn’t realize this seems to be a hot-spot. There were quite a few people there and a very long line. Instead of leaving I figured with a wait like this it must be good. So glad we stayed. The line move swiftly. The coffee and food were phenomenal! The chicken biscuit was huge and so good. The location is pretty cool too, an old historic building in the downtown area. There’s a really nice park around the corner and you can jog via sidewalk and jogging path all the way to the Old Salem section, which was cool too.

First Visit to Krankies, Winston-Salem
Stopped by Krankies for the first time and really enjoyed the experience. The place has a sweet vibe — set in an old tobacco-style warehouse downtown with a cool, relaxed energy that fits Winston-Salem perfectly.
I ordered a Nitro Cold Brew, which was incredibly smooth — one of the better ones I’ve had in a while. For food, I tried the Egg & Cheese Biscuit (added sausage) and the Krankies Classic, their chicken biscuit topped with hot sauce and honey. Both sandwiches were full of flavor — the sausage and chicken were excellent, and the flavor balance was spot on.
If I had one small critique, it would be the biscuit itself — a little dry and crumbly for my taste. But the contents more than made up for it.
Overall, Krankies has great coffee, solid food, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back. I took a few videos while I was there — the space really has that perfect blend of history and charm.

Went here with a couple of friends after a morning run and this hit the spot! Definitely a popular breakfast/brunch space but it wasn’t overly crowded and we were able to get a table to sit and eat at. We shared the wedges which had a phenomenal dip, and didn’t stand in line too long.

Krankies is the quintessential Winston Salem dining experience—families, couples and individuals flocking to the place on weekends to grab either a quick bite or to lounge around slowly sipping a drink.
We visited on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and weren’t disappointed. We got their biscuits—Krankies Classic and Nashville Hot—the former being your traditional southern style chicken with honey, and the latter being your usual hot Nashville style fried chicken. Both hit the spot. A lot of their biscuits come with bacon, but I guess you can ask them to get rid of bacon if you don’t eat it.
The chai latte was decent, it was nothing to write home about. Their drinks menu is quite extensive with your usual coffees to creative takes on hot beverages to interesting cocktails.
Parking area is quite small, but you can find parking nearby if you’re willing to wait.
The seating area inside is comprised of a main hall with 2 auxiliary smaller seating areas adjoining it. You walk up to the counter, order your food and they call your name when it’s ready.
Overall, it was a pretty decent dining experience.

Krankies was good, their hot honey chicken biscuits were very good and the chicken was both moist and crispy. The caramel corn coffee was not too sweet and had a great flavor.
However, the lines and waiting time were insane and the blueberry biscuit was dry and stale. I will probably not be coming back but this was a good once-off experience.

Amazing experience from start to finish! The building is super cool with tons of seating and unique touches everywhere you look. The coffee was incredible, I got the horchata cortado and it was absolutely perfect. Just a hint of sweetness without being overpowering, totally balanced.
And the food… WOW. The buffalo chicken sandwich was unreal. I already want another one! The chicken was cooked perfectly and that biscuit… drool. The kids got a bacon, egg, and cheese and they loved it. I snuck a bite too and YUM! Those biscuits are seriously next level.
We’ll definitely be making a special trip back anytime we’re in the area again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Souther biscuits with a fusion of old and new flavors! Great vibe and great staff. Worth the stop. It can get busy but they move through it well.

Stumbled upon this gem on complete accident and so glad we did!!
Delicious biscuit sandwiches, great beverage options. Unique, authentic, not overly fussy. Loved it!
Great patio, we had our dogs with us passing through town and wanted to walk the long branch trail. A perfect quick stop!

Amazing breakfast spot if you want good chicken or biscuits. We tried a few chicken biscuits (The Hangover Helper, Dirt South, and the Bluebird) and had the wedges as well. The green sauce for the wedges was delicious. No fountain sodas but they have coffee options and drinks in the can or bottle. The fruit cup was a good value for the kiddos.
