Cup 22 Coffee House

Never fails as the perfect spot for a bike ride pit stop! Scones are marvelous especially with a hot latte for a little java jolt. And the staff are great! Talk to the baristas, you wont regret it. After all, being friendly makes the world better anyway. And when you have your cup of awesome, go sit out on the deck and listen to the river, see the cool potted plants and repurposed industrial architecture. Unique and worth it every single time. Its a journey and a destination in one

Cup22 has everything I look for in a coffeeshop - warm staff, awesome playlists, ecclectic design, natural light. Perfect for meetings or buckling down to get some work done. Double check they are open before you come, and if they are, you are in for a treat!

I've had the opportunity to visit this establishment on three different occasions. The first time I visited was a blustery, dark morning and the anticipation was sending shivers through my spine as I grabbed the door... it was locked.nThe second time was much better. It was summer, the river was flowing, flower blossoms were showing, kyakers happily rowing, and I was feeling on top of the world. I took the wheelchair ramp so that I could really experience the full effect of the entrance. As I walked toward the door I could smell the coffee in my mind. I could almost taste it as I vigorously yanked on the front door to go in and order everything in sight. It was locked.nThe third and final time that I went to this location was much more recently. Let me tell you all something today, the third time really is the charm. The third time is where all the magic happened and when I finally got to experience this place for what it truly is. I pulled in the parking lot and luckily there was one spot available. Finally there were other people around so I knew this was going to be the best time ever. I parallel parked with ease and pulled my hand brake. Several deep breaths later, I burst out of my car and sprinted up the steps toward the doors as fast as I could. I grabbed the door and flung it wide open and stumbled inside. It was a ghost town, everything seemed to be on and functioning except there was nobody around. I walked around the counters and opened the register just to see if anyone might be hiding in there, but couldn't find anyone. After eating a piece of cake and reading a book, I decided to just leave the money I owed in the tip jar so that I would not incur any karmic debt. I'm sure someone works here, I probably just came in while they were taking out the cardboard or something. Updates will come if I get to try the coffee this year.nnUPDATE: there was a whole bunch of people in there today but they said there's a wedding... Closed. Nice people though, can't wait to try the coffee. Hoping for a cup by 2022, that's why they call it cup 22 so it makes sense now. I love this place. Updates coming within the year if time allows.

I LOVE THE STAFF. Here for an important meeting and it has my VOTE as one of Saxapahaw’s fave destinations

Good coffee, they use Joe Van Gough's coffee beans. Wide and typical selection of espresso and coffee beverages. You can also get tea if coffee is not for you. They have some treats like scones but variety is dependent on the day. Great place to get coffee and then maybe go for a walk by the river in some warm weather
