North Raleigh's favorite meeting spot
Voted 2025 Best Local Coffee Shop of Wake County, NoRa is a warm, comfortable place to come whether for a great latte made from our partner Carrboro Coffee Roasters' beans, to enjoy a fresh-made Liege waffle made from brioche dough and infused with pearl sugar, to enjoy the art on display from local artists or to have a glass of wine or a locally made beer while relaxing with friends on our patio watching the sunset. Looking for a good book? NoRa offers a wide variety of used books available throughout the store and in The Library connected to the main cafe. Feel free to have a drink and relax while looking through a carefully culled selection of used books on sale for $3 each (Blind Date books priced separately).
