This place was amazingly grand & absolutely gorgeous. I fell in love the second I opened the doors. The atmosphere was amazing, service was superior, bagels were homemade piping hot, and service was superior. I couldn’t believe a place like this was in the heart of Downtown Oxford. The barista Sam was awesome, he welcomed everyone that walked in and chatted with everyone at the counter. I asked him about a cortado, he explained perfectly what type of coffee it was & stated if I like strong coffee it’s the one for me. He even made a heart on top of the cortado, it was absolutely amazingly delicious. This place is an absolute gem & I look forward to going back often.

Attention coffee fans! This may just be not just one of the best coffee shops in the RDU area but that I have ever visited. The local roasted coffee and tea was superb. The espresso machine is adjusted daily for the most optimal flavor. The staff are attentive and kind. The owner is a NC native and was very friendly and inviting—it felt like we were being invited into her own home. The ambiance and the decor of the old cathedral was soothing and respectful of the original building. If you are thinking about visiting, just go, you will not be disappointed.

Sanctum said “first brunch” and Chef AJ said “watch this.”
I ordered the shrimp and grits and immediately forgot how to act in public. Full eye contact with the plate. No blinking. No talking. Just respect.
Halfway through I realized two things:
1. This was the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had.
2. I was not emotionally prepared for it to end.
So naturally, instead of making responsible adult decisions, I panic-ordered lamb lollies to go like I was stocking up for winter.
I didn’t need them.
But spiritually? Critically? Life-affirmingly? I did.
Chef AJ absolutely crushed it. If this is how Sanctum starts brunch, I fear for my bank account, my self-control, and gut.

Sanctum is such a unique and beautifully designed space. The original stained glass windows are so special and the coffee and homemade bagels are delicious! Every little touch that the owners put thought into was well executed, down to the handmade plates and mugs by the owner herself. Seeing this place be repurposed into something great for the community has been awesome. ❤️

So I had seen an instagram post and drove an hour to try it, how could I pass up drinking coffee in a beautiful, themed church?
There’s plenty of paper menus around but the barista was extremely knowledgeable and very happy to answer all questions without rushing you. The menu looks absolutely delightful, there was popcorn, charcuterie boards and I’m pretty sure I saw mini cheesecakes somewhere. This time we only got coffee, bagels and genuinely, literally the best hot chocolate I’ve ever tasted. The hot chocolate took a minute to come out, but the barista came to our table to explain that he was waiting on the chocolate bars he’d ordered and it was so worth the wait. Velvety, smooth, creamy, not too milky and not too chocolatey. I’m 99% sure the bagels are made in house, they’re chewy and perfect. Coffee was amazing, not bitter at all and I don’t feel the need to add any sweetener.
The decor is beautiful. The owners of Sanctum clearly put a lot of love and thought into the space. They leaned in to what the building already was, and keeping the era the same throughout. The stained glass appears to be from the 70s mod era and that’s reflected in the chairs, the colors throughout, the dishes (real dishes btw! And not plain white!) the padding on the pews, even the logo artwork behind the counter leans in with the pink stars and the pink velvet couch.
I love that Sanctum doesn’t come off as a pretentious coffeehouse. It’s a warm, cozy space that invites you to actually sit down, enjoy something to eat and drink, play games and just catch up. Big big fan, can’t wait to go back

If you have not been to Granville County’s latest “grub spot”, you need to go! Just had the Spicy Billy, and it is to LIVE for! Been several times, not only is the food good, but the atmosphere and the service is wonderful. GO! Love ya’ll! Audrey 🙂
