Benelux Café

Very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. The coffee is always so wonderful. The cortado's I order always taste chocolatey, even the decaf. The atmosphere is open, and has space to grow. Every drink has always had lovely latte art as well. Overall amazing experience.

Honestly, one of the best coffees I’ve ever had. The milk and foam were perfect, super smooth, and the barista was just amazing and really knows what they’re doing. Definitely coming back.

I recently discovered Benelux Caffee, which also goes by El Barista, and it has quickly become my absolute favorite spot! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the most wonderful and friendly staff. They truly make the experience special. The quality here is top-notch. Every drink is prepared with care and skill. I ordered a latte, and it was perfection – the milk was beautifully foamy and steamed to the exact right temperature. It's clear they know what they're doing! On top of that, I tried the bagel with egg, cheese, and turkey. It was served warm and was perfectly toasty without being overdone, exactly how I love it. What really makes this place shine is the incredible staff. They are happy to customize any drink to your liking, and if you're not sure what to get, the baristas

I have stopped here twice so far. The first time I ordered a simple traditional hot chocolate, it was perfect. The second time I ordered a chia latte and a lemon poppy seed muffin, and I could not have asked for a better start to my day. I'll be back.

The last time I was in the Cameron District in Raleigh, I wanted a coffee, so I tried the Benelux Cafe. I ordered a Sugar Free Vanilla Latte. It was excellent. There was no bitter taste, and the ratio between the shots, flavoring, and milk was on point. They did a great job with the atmosphere for what it is, but I will never understand why builders sometimes locate the bathrooms on a flat wall facing where people sit and, in this case, very close to the preparation area. I mean, one table is within a few feet from a bathroom door. Anyway, the coffee is delicious, and they also offer food if you are hungry. This Cafe is a must-try if you want a delicious coffee.
