Not only was their coffee and tea delicious, but their staff was super friendly and they stay open while every other coffee shop closes in the early afternoon. Lots of specious seating near power outlets and they were very Covid conscious without being overbearing about safety. Highly recommend!

Nice pour over. I would have liked more than one origin to choose from and somewhere that had the tasting notes. It was good. When I got home I was still drinking it. I noticed that the to go cup was imparting a paper taste. (Not the first pour over to be affected by the cup, ime) Poured the remainder into a mug and it went away.

I love Open Eye! I never really got to see it in the before times, but even during the pandemic, Open Eye has been a great spot to have just a little touch of normal in your life. I appreciate that they still make good efforts to try to protect their staff and I really appreciate the diversity in the staff as well. In addition to the social elements, the drinks here are always fantastic and the pastries from 9th St Bakery are always fresh! I love coming here and I will continue to do so for as long as I live in the Triangle.

I feel really safe here as a very visible trans woman. I’m new to town and like to go here when I need to be around other queer and trans people, because there seem to always be queers here! Probably the most comfortable I’ve ever felt in a public place in NC. Great indoor and outdoor seating, lovely staff, and the cold brew float changed my life.

Great cafe. They also use some of the best beans in the triangle and sell them at a better price than other shops I've been to that use Carboro roasters.

I found the aesthetic of this place to be interesting but also cold and impersonal. The drinks were okay, and I was disappointed they didn’t offer any sort of food but 3 flavors of a snack bar. There is a decent amount of space though making it a great place to go and do work/study.

Wide selection of coffees and treats. Usually quite busy. Has a nice terrace and a patio, too. Probably they serve the best coffe I had in the US. The coffees are made of Carrboro Roasters beans.

The muffins are good for dunking in coffee. They have very nice staff, and the coffee is great. Plenty of space to eat inside or outside too.
