Caffe Driade

Beautiful hidden gem in chapel hill! The ambiance is certainly the show stopper here. Perfect for a nice spring or fall day, the outside area has multiple areas for outdoor seating nestled in the woods. The coffee is reliable and is the perfect spot to catch up with friends, get work done while enjoying the outdoors, or take your furry friend.

Here for the vibes, not for the coffee. I have gone here multiple times and while the benches nestled inside the forest is so peaceful, coffee is forgettable and doesn't have enough character. We have purchased their beans several times even but scratch our heads not being blown away by them. Nevertheless a very cool coffee shop to try at least once for the view!

Very cute cafe nestled in the trees. We arrived when they opened at 9am and there was no line to order. We got the brown sugar latte which was delicious. The staff were friendly and there is tons of seating most of which is outside.

This place is the best place to get coffee on a sunny day. The tables are at all different levels in the woods and on a hill. The coffee is great. They have an adequate selection of pastries the usual suspects. I'm not sure what they do in winter.

If you want to see what draws people to Chapel Hill, this coffee shop will give you that opportunity. You will see the forest biking/walking trails. Seating is limited inside so mostly outdoor seating. We came in at the wrong time since there were a couple of families ahead of us so we didn't get our orders until 20 minutes later. I had the harvest latte and it was made poorly. I didn't taste the spices and it was so bitter. So we got the view, but I did not get a good cup of coffee.

A cute woodland coffee shop. They offer gluten-free baked treats but I opted for a locally made prepackaged cashew bar. The brown sugar oat milk latte was great. I hope I can come back and get it again.

Saw this coffee shop on "Raleigh_on_a_budget" 's Instagram page and added it to my bucket list! This place is quaintly tucked away in the woods on a private trail with plenty of places to sit- being that seating is outside there are heaters to keep you warm in the winter months! Coffee is average and well priced- atmosphere makes up where the taste may lack. Plenty of pastry and food options with friendly faces to serve you.

Super cute little shop with extensive grounds. Best in good weather as the indoor seating is quite limited. The brown sugar oat milk latte is a house favorite - they make the brown sugar syrup in house. The pour overs change day to day and are quite good. The grounds are adorable but can be buggy if it's humid out. Baristas are helpful if you need guidance. Baked goods are top notch and there's vegan options. Watch out for snakes outside though! Parking is tight but there is more around the corner if you go to the roastery so keep driving through the parking lot!

Coffee is pretty fantastic and so is the atmosphere. Lovely spot for an afternoon date, especially if you enjoy nature. Definitely check out the trails out back. Parking isn't always easy, so I'd advise carpooling or walking to this shop from one of the trails. Barista was helpful and nice, even though she was juggling a lot.

Such a cute coffee shop - it's right off a main road but feels tucked away. Staff is very friendly. The indoor space is super small with not much standing room to order/wait for your order. There are a few indoor tables but loooots of outdoor seating. I think there might be access to the walking trail down below as well. Coffee is on the strong side but there's lots of flavors and things you can add to it if that's not what you're looking for. Would be a great stop on a nice day to spend outside.
