Gertrude Stein once said, “Coffee is a lot more than just a drink; it’s something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup.”In collaboration with Greg Whitt:
In this experience, Greg will meet you in front of Videri Chocolate Factory to begin this relaxing and delicious exploration of Raleigh’s downtown coffee scene. You’ll learn about the history of the city, both general and coffee related, and tour the downtown area walking in and out of local coffee shops to talk with baristas and nerd out on coffee roasts and the downtown coffee culture.
Regular stops on this stroll may include Black & White Coffee, Heirloom, Weaver Street Food Market, Bad Cat, 321, Press, and A Place at the Table, but the tour is a little different each time depending on timing, guest interest, and the weather.
